A client said to me 'You must hate your job.' I explained that I'm here for you and your Family during one of your greatest times of need. Bringing comfort, peace, and ending suffering is a wonderful service we can offer our four-legged Family members. Households frequently comment they felt a huge relief, like the weight of worry and concern was removed, knowing they did everything possible. They also appreciated saying goodbye in their own home, to grieve in private, and that CodaPet handled all the arrangements. Bringing this comfort, peace, and calm to the community is my ‘why.’

Dr. Crawford is truly an exceptional veterinarian—compassionate, patient, and deeply caring. He helped my beloved dog, Dada, pass peacefully, guiding me through one of the most difficult moments of my life with such kindness and understanding. His gentle approach made all the difference, and I will always be grateful for the care he provided. He went above and beyond by thoughtfully making sure I had Dada’s paw print, even hand-delivering it. That level of kindness speaks volumes about his dedication to both his patients and their families. Dr. Crawford is an absolute angel—God-sent during such a heartbreaking time. He is not only a skilled professional but also a genuinely kindhearted person. Anyone lucky enough to have him as their vet will be in the best hands. Thank you, John, for everything!
Dr Crawford was extremely caring and kind. He allowed me the space and time I needed to say my last good byes. I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
Dr. Crawford was very professional, kind and gentle. He was not in a rush and gave us ample time to say goodbye to Sadie, our tiny baby angel. Dr. Crawford sat on the floor with us and spoke softly to Sadie while gently petting her. He took the time to listen to our stories of Sadie's younger days, answer our questions, and dispel any concerns we that had. He made sure we were comfortable as he took us through each step of the process. Dr. Crawford showed great kindness and compassion in our darkest hour. Thank you for providing this service and bringing us some peace and closure at the end of our Sadie's journey.
Dr Crawford was amazing, he really does care. He consoled the entire process. My husband was out of it and even told me he gave him a hug
Dr Crawford made one of the worst decisions we’ve had to make peaceful. He was extremely attentive and kind through the entire process. We are heartbroken but are thankful for his care.
