What pet parents are saying

Pet euthanasia done the right way, we didn’t want to make the difficult decision that it was time to let go of our elderly dog but Dr Diana Gersten at CodaPet made the process as stress free as possible for us & our dog. From the ease of booking the service on line that gave us time to make the last few days as memorable as possible, to the communication before the appointment was gentle & supportive. When meeting Dr Diana Gersten in person she was very kind & compassionate walking us through the process, there was no pressure to rush & she sensed when to step back & give us time & space in our own home, our dog was calm & comfortable in his bed when she arrived & remained so throughout & that was perfect. Even though it’s one of the hardest things we have had to do I wouldn’t change a thing & would highly recommend the service without hesitation.

Dr. Gersten was amazing. It was such a difficult decision for us, and we've never used an in-home service before. I am so thankful that I did and found Dr. Gersten. She was so kind, understanding, and didn't rush us at all. Highly recommend!

Review by Dr. Diana Gersten

It took me a bit to be able to leave a review after the loss of my loving pup. For 15 years my girl never left my side and in the end it was truly hard for me. I couldn’t even speak. Dr. Gerston understood what I was going through and explained every step in the process. With no words being said on my end she gave me patience and time and never rushed the process. She even brought a treat for girl. Dr. Gersten was absolutely wonderful during this process.

Dr. Diana Gersten was absolutely wonderful. She was very responsive through text message, and helped me make the tough decision of putting my sweet kitty boy to rest. Her presence was very calming and she explained everything as she did it. She gave us as much time as we needed to love and kiss on him before she took him. She delivered his body to Monarch Pet Memorial Services where they did an absolutely beautiful job memorializing my baby. Thank you Dr. Gersten for making an awful situation bearable, and for your kindness, compassion, and patience with me.

Review by Dr. Diana Gersten

We had no idea that at home euthanasia was an option until hearing from a friend that they did an at home passing for their dog. Once we knew it was time, we searched online and found Codepet and Dr. Diana Gersten, and she was beyond amazing. It is such a better experience to have your little loved one pass at home in their own bed and Dr. Diana was great with us. She gave us so much time to get Holly comfortable and give her some snacks and she was genuinely caring and interested in hearing stories about Holly and what made her so special. She allowed us to take our time and give Holly so much love as we said goodbye and she drifted off to sleep. Dr. Diana also gave us plenty of time to grieve as well. This was absolutely the best choice we could have made to say goodbye to our little girl Holly. Thank you Codapet and Dr. Diana Gersten for being there and making such an awful situation the best it could be.

Dr. Diana Gersten was absolutely amazing. She was so kind and caring during the entire process. I had no idea CodaPet existed and I am so thankful I found them. The afterlife services they provided were exceptional and I was able to bring my best friend back home to his final resting place.
