What pet parents are saying

It’s still to hard to express but I will say she was very loving and caring. She explained everything and never rushed me. 10 of 10. I would rate her. Im so glad I could do this a home, a wonderful service that allowed privacy and peace.

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 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.

Dr Gersten was very kind and compassionate during such an emotional time. We can honestly say that going through this at home with our beloved Finnegan, comfy in his bed, outside in the warm sun and surrounded by his family was the gentlest way to do this difficult process. Thank you Dr. Gersten.

Hard to rate a service like this bc we had to put down our kitty. The process is great. Dr gersten’s compassion and patience was amazing. It was hard to do but the most humane way to do it.

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.
