What pet parents are saying

I can not thank enough Dr Diana Gersten for her kind service and support during the hard time of saying goodbye to my pet. Dr Gersten was very calming and sweet and professional on everything and I highly recommend her and this company.

Dr. Gersten was very kind and compassionate as we said goodbye to our dog, Laney. She was great communicating before, during, and after the visit. She gave us as much time as we needed and we never felt rushed. I would highly recommend her for what is, obviously, not a very happy occasion.

We could not have asked for a better way to honor our Kaos, she was so respectful and kind to our feelings and did the most to make sure we felt informed and supported to help him transition to the rainbow bridge 🌈 thank you so much ❤️

Our little dog, Gucci, 15 years old, went to heaven on March the 4th, in our home, in Pompano Beach. Like a little angel, with no pain, and surround by all our love. He had reached the end of his road. We could have hoped better for the end. It was calm, painless and filled with love. We will still have to heal ourselves from it’s absence. We will love you forever Gucci. Thank you dr Gesten. Notre petit chien Gucci, âgé de 15 ans, est parti au ciel ce matin. À notre maison de Pompano Beach. Nous n’aurions pu espérer mieux pour départ. Ce fut calme, serein, sans douleur . Notre Gucci est parti comme un petit ange, entouré de tout notre amour. Il nous restera à nous guérir de son absence. Nous t’aimerons pour toujours Gucci. Merci à dr Diana Gersten, pour sa douceur et ses bons mots. Nous recommandons fortement dr Gesten 🙏🏻💙.

Dr. Diana Gersten was so kind, compassionate and it was nice not to have to take Phoebe to vet's office to say goodbye. She followed up with a sympathy card and we would highly recommend her services to anyone in the Stuart area. She helped our neighbor a few months ago and their experience was similar

Review by Dr. Diana Gersten

I truly appreciate having an in-home euthanasia option when faced with a suffering pet. I liked the CodaPet electronic intake form because I didn’t have to struggle through that process telephonically, struggling through my tears and sobbing. I was offered an opportunity to discuss directly with Dr Gersten the day I booked the appointment and appreciated that so much. We connected the morning of my appointment again at my request and she was great and communicative. I’ve sadly been through this before but when she arrived she made sure she let us know what to expect and was very skilled with my pup, Roxie and informed and supported us as we comforted Roxie throughout. I had selected private cremation during the intake process and she confirmed my selections, even crediting a duplicate selection I had made and paid for. It made this heart wrenching need easier and let my Roxie breathe her last breath, and her heart to beat its last beat in the peace of our home while we held and comforted her for the last time. Thank you. We’re very appreciative of everything.
