What pet parents are saying

After a shocking cancer diagnosis and a rapid decline in health we were devastated to have to say goodbye to our sweet Koda. Our appt was for the following morning but Dr Gersten was so kind when I called her and came the afternoon before (even though there were no openings). She explained each step in a delicate & compassionate way and gave our whole family ample time to be with him while she stepped away here and there. We can’t thank her enough for everything and we were comforted to know he would be in good hands afterwards.

I want to thank CodaPet - At Home Pet Euthanasia in Fort Lauderdale for their service. As one can imagine, this is not the easiest decision to make. I did not feel pressured not compelled to make this choice other than it was the right thing to do for Buddha. He was a wonderful dog and I believe he was given a proper, professional, and warming send off. I personally want to extend a thank you to Dr. Diana Gersten. The whole process was difficult for myself on an emotional and spiritual level; however, with Dr. Gersten's caring and gentle approach, i felt as ease. She was great with communication, confirmation in Buddha's condition and walked me through the steps accordingly. With Buddha having issues walking, having an organization willing to come to the house on 24 hours notice was a huge help and sigh of relief. I can not speak for other organizations, but if one needs an in home treatment, I would highly recommend CodaPet - At Home Pet Euthanasia in Fort Lauderdale.

Dr. Gersten is a kind, compassionate veterinarian who has handled the in home euthanasia for three of our furry family members. While these have been some of the hardest times in our lives, we appreciate her empathy and commitment to making such a difficult experience as painless as possible both for our pups and for us. Thank you, Dr. Gersten.

Dr. Gersten was amazing. She was so kind and compassionate when we needed to lay our dog to rest. Dr. Gersten explained the process with detail. She allowed us as much time as we needed to say our final good bye.

Our little dog Gucci, 15 years old, went to heaven this morning, at our house, in Pompano Beach. He left us like an angel, without pain, surrounds by his family with all our love. We couldn’t have hoped a better way to leave us. It was calm and painless and filled with love. We will still have to heal ourselves. We will love you forever Gucci. Notre petit chien Gucci est parti au ciel, ce matin, dans sa maison de Pompano Beach, entouré d’une partie de sa famille. Il était âgé de 15 ans et était rendu au bout de son chemin. Nous n’aurions pu espérer mieux pour son départ. Grâce à la de Gersten, notre Gucci est parti sans stress, et sans douleur, entouré de tout notre amour. Il nous restera à nous guérir de son absence. Nous t’aimerons pour toujours Gucci. Merci dr Gersten.
