What pet parents are saying

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 🙏🏻💙.

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. ❤️

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 made such an emotional and traumatic event flawless and loving. She is a gentle soul who understands what both the pets and parents are going through. She is the best!

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

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.
