What pet parents are saying
In the past two years we have lost both of our dearly loved pet cats to chronic Kidney disease. One was 16 years old, her brother, the second and more recent loss was 18 years. the euthanasia necessary to relieve suffering in their final days was an unwelcome but expected additional personal trauma. Their usual veterinarian's office was very familiar with the sister and brother cats and with our personal emotions, and suggested CodaPet, in the home euthanasia, as an option for Zorro. That is how we met Dr. Gersten. We made a home appointment so that the surroundings, the home, and our being able to hold and comfort Zorro would be possible. It is never easy to say goodbye no matter how necessary. Dr. Gersten was the very best , arriving at our home at the planned time, tending to our very ill cat, and for supporting my wife and I during that difficult time. Much better than a dash to a vets office amidst rush and confusion . She was also able to provide services for a cremation which was an added and ultimately highly appreciated service. My wife and I are very pleased with our experience and highly recommend Doctor Diana.
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 great for this sad procedure of having to put down one of our cats. She was patient, compassionate, competent, and made the process as painless as possible.
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.
Dr. Diana Gersten was absolutely wonderful. She was very responsive through text message, and helped me make the tough decision of putting my sweet kitty boy to rest. Her presence was very calming and she explained everything as she did it. She gave us as much time as we needed to love and kiss on him before she took him. She delivered his body to Monarch Pet Memorial Services where they did an absolutely beautiful job memorializing my baby. Thank you Dr. Gersten for making an awful situation bearable, and for your kindness, compassion, and patience with me.
Dr.Gersten is incredibly caring. She made our final moments with our boy very thoughtful and respectful in going at our own pace with saying goodbye. Being able to be at home in his bed overlooking the pool he loved so much, was the best gift to be able to give him in the end and we cannot thank Dr.Gersten enough for all she did to make him comfortable.
