What pet parents are saying

Dr. Gersten was extremely kind, patient and compassionate during the entire process. I felt very comfortable with her and the way she carefully explained everything. My expectations were exceeded today when I received my memorial package. I will definitely recommend Coda Pet and Dr. Gersten to family and friends!

For Any Pet Parent Considering in home Euthanasia please use Codapet and Dr. Diana Gersten. I have had to put many pets to sleep over the years. And recently learning that this service exsited changed my life. I will always do in home Euthanasia. It was such a peaceful Beautiful passing for my Baby girl Bettylu. Thats all i wanted for her, In her home in her bed with her blanket while i held her. I was the last human she saw on this earth.And The compassion and understanding Dr. Gersten showed us was second to none. She made a very difficult time easier. Thank you to Dr. Gersten and Codapet for the amazing services and care you provide.

Dr. Gersten was so kind, caring and professional as our 19 year old beloved cat was suffering from liver disease was put to rest. She fully explained the entire procedure to us and answered all of our questions. It was such a relief that Dr. Gersten is a come to your home Vet which allowed for a very quiet and peaceful passing of our beloved cat. My wife and I fully recommend Dr. Gersten and Codapet. Thanks so much Dr. Gersten for your caring and multiple follow ups checking on us.

In the past two years we have lost both of our dearly loved pet cats to chronic Kidney disease. One was 16 years old, her brother, the second and more recent loss was 18 years. the euthanasia necessary to relieve suffering in their final days was an unwelcome but expected additional personal trauma. Their usual veterinarian's office was very familiar with the sister and brother cats and with our personal emotions, and suggested CodaPet, in the home euthanasia, as an option for Zorro. That is how we met Dr. Gersten. We made a home appointment so that the surroundings, the home, and our being able to hold and comfort Zorro would be possible. It is never easy to say goodbye no matter how necessary. Dr. Gersten was the very best , arriving at our home at the planned time, tending to our very ill cat, and for supporting my wife and I during that difficult time. Much better than a dash to a vets office amidst rush and confusion . She was also able to provide services for a cremation which was an added and ultimately highly appreciated service. My wife and I are very pleased with our experience and highly recommend Doctor Diana.
