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 🙏🏻💙.

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.

Dr. Gersten made a sad and traumatic experience better for our family and pet. She was kind and informative along with very compassionate. I recommend it to anyone going through this terrible situation.

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 !!!

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 was very compassionate when it came to saying goodbye to my best friend Byron. She let us have all the time we needed with him and comforted us during the hardest of times.
