What pet parents are saying

We are so thankful for Coda Pet and Dr. Gersten. Everything went smoothly and our beautiful 16 yr old pup was handled with incredible care. My husband and I also felt very supported in this difficult situation. We highly recommend them for gentle at home euthanasia when it’s time. ❤️

She was compassionate and caring. Made a very, very difficult situation a little easier. Can’t say enough about her. So professional. She went above and beyond.

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.

Dr Gersten was communicative before, during, and after our experience with her. She showed us amazing compassion and kindness during a very difficult time. We talked about it for days after, that our experience could not have been better.

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.

Review by Dr. Diana Gersten

We are so grateful for the kindness and compassion shown during such a difficult time. The doctor was incredibly sweet and gentle with every step of the process, and I would highly recommend her to anyone facing this heartbreaking decision. After the procedure, she placed our little dog in a cozy bed and wrapped her lovingly in a blanket, which meant so much to us. Thank you for making this painful moment a little more bearable with your care and thoughtfulness. ❤️
