What pet parents are saying

Dr Diana was truly compassionate through this very difficult time. We had to say goodbye to our sweet Bambi. She came to our home so Bambi could have her last moments in comfort around family. She walked us through each step and allowed us time to say our goodbyes. It’s a horribly sad thing to go through, but Diana was the right choice.

To have our last moments with our precious dog at home, no stress of the car ride, other animals and people around was absolutely priceless. I believe my dog was grateful as well. He acted like a puppy just moments before the Dr. came and readily surrendered onto his blanket and my lap when the time came. As painful as is was to lose him, I wouldn’t have done it any other way. Thank you !!!

Dr. Gersten was truly amazing. She made an extremely difficult decision easier. She was sympathetic to our grief. She made sure our dog was comfortable and surrounded with love.

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.

Even though we have had to do this before with our pets during the years, it's never easy. You have to look at the quality of life of your pet and then let go. Dr. Gersten was very kind and calming with her mannerisms and made the journey less stressful. I recommend her to you and your pet.
