What pet parents are saying

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.

As hard as a process of choosing when is the right time to put your pet to sleep is, I can say our vet and coda pet made that process much easier. Our beloved dog was able to remain in the comfort of her own home without stress and anxiety. It was a peaceful process for her and the care and consideration the vet had for my feelings and time were greatly appreciated. I received her ashes back much quicker than expected and the package was just what I hope for. Thank you for everything.

Calling Dr. Gersten to come to my home to help my fur baby girl pass was the best thing I could have done. I didn’t want to go to the vet, it is too stressful on you and your pet. Dr. Gersten was caring, kind and empathetic. I was able to be with my girl in her last moments in my home where she was comfortable and I could let my grief show. I will always be grateful to Dr. Gersten for allowing me to let Abbie go with dignity and love, once again thank you Dr. Gersten💕

Dr. Gersten is a very kind, soft spoken, compassionate person. She made a difficult situation a beautiful one. I was able to hold my baby as he went “Somewhere over the Rainbow “🌈 . She made me feel very comfortable as she did with Pacino. She let me spend as much time before and after the procedure with him. I would highly recommend her. She is a beautiful person. Thank you Dr. Gersten for everything.

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.
