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!
Beyond thankful for Dr Crawford- an Angel on earth. Words can’t describe his genuine compassion. There is nothing he could have done any better. (Never said that about a vet). His professional skills, combined with calming energy n thoughtful care put myself n my girl at ease. Exactly what we needed at such a delicate time. Sincere appreciation for absolutely everything ❤️
I can’t thank Dr. John enough for his compassion for helping Cooper pass over the bridge in our home. He is very caring and professional and would highly recommend him.
Dr. Crawford was absolutely amazing. We were having a very difficult time and he was extremely patient and empathetic. He made us and our dog feel so at ease. I really cannot say enough good things about him.
He was very charismatic and welcoming to both our dogs, even offering a treat. He was very approachable and respectful to us. It really made the process a lot easier for us and felt it was okay to cry in front of him. I'd recommend him to others if needed. Thank you again!
Dr John was sent to us by God. He was so compassionate and took some time to get to know our Striker. This was indicative of his kindness and professionalism.
