Our dog Lilly was 16 years old and showed every sign and diagnosis of an old dog.
When I called Dr. Hart's office, her availability and sympathetic approach to our situation made our decision easier.
When Dr. Hart arrived at our home, she greeted Lilly with love and tenderness, and towards us, too. For my husband and me, what was about to happen became very real, and she was sensitive to that as well. The process did not take long, as our Lilly, we now believe, was ready to go too.
Throughout this process, Dr. Hart explained to us how she would do it, how Lilly would react, and what her final moments would be like. It was comforting to hear them in such a gentle way. When it was all done, she allowed us to say goodbye one last time and to place her into Dr. Hart’s car for a final send-off.
We chose to have Lilly cremated and returned to us; that process, which was quoted to take two weeks, was done in less than one.
I would highly recommend Dr. Hart to anyone who has to deal with this part of owning a pet. It’s difficult, it is emotional, it’s traumatic, but to have somebody sensitive and caring entering your home to do this, like Dr. Hart allows you to find comfort in the decision you made, and while difficult, it was the right decision.
5.0Feb 20 2026 by Natalie M. Unfortunately we had to use this service twice in a short amount of time. Dr. Katharyn Hart was our first caregiver for our boy, Wrango and Dr. Lori Thomas was our caregiver for our old gal, Shyloh. They both showed an amazing amount of compassion with our pups, were patient with us as we went through the experience and were so thoughtful in answering any questions we had. They both made the experience very peaceful for all involved and though we were/are heartbroken, knowing that our pups were in the hands of these 2 vets, made it a bit better.
5.0Mar 24 2025 by k Nicholas Dr. Hart was compassionate and skilled in easing our sweet Ellie Mae through the end of her life. We will be forever grateful to her and CodaPet for making it possible for us to say goodbye to her in our home.
5.0Dec 16 2025 by Mary Jo R. Our dog Zelda just declined so quickly. It was so nice to be able to do this at home, her happy place, her home. Dr Hart was just so lovely and caring and helpful during this time. And a week later, our pups ashes are home with us. Thank you for helping us Dr Hart.
5.0Oct 05 2024 by Kimberly Austin Thank you for being with us in such a hard moment and walking us through the entire thing. I appreciated not having to do anything after the visit and getting her ashes delivered directly to our door.
5.0Feb 03 2026 by Martha R. Dr. Hart was so kind, thoughtful and empathetic. Her calm, caring demeanor made a difficult decision easier to handle. She allowed me to grieve my way and take as much time as I needed. I will definitely recommend Dr. Hart to any of my friends who may have to go through this.
5.0Mar 25 2025 by Melissa A. Saying goodbye to a furry family member is NEVER easy. Being able to allow them to go without suffering in the comfort of their home is amazing. Dr. Hart was very professional and friendly and was able to make this event much easier. The price is nearly the same as taking the fur baby to a facility, which makes it affordable, private and very comfortable. I recommend CodaPet (Dr. Hart) when the time comes to say goodbye to your fur babies. Thank You, Dr. Hart
5.0May 15 2025 by Laurie King She was able to adjust her schedule as our Luna slipped faster than we anticipated. We are grateful for her kindness and experience to ease our transition and Luna over the Rainbow Bridge

5.0Jun 18 2024 by Kirsten T If you have the money, this is the only to help your beloved pet pass way. No anxiety, held in your arms...Katharyn Hart was professional and merciful.
5.0Dec 22 2024 by Gale De Rosa Dr. Hart was great, very kind and compassionate. She made Curly's departure as painless and as peaceful as possible, for him and for me.
5.0Dec 13 2025 by James G. On a very difficult day Dr Hart was so supportive, compassionate and professional. She informed us of the process answered all questions and let us set the timing to ensure our Clohe was as comfortable as possible. That was what was most important to us. She reassured us that we made the right decision at the right time for our Clohe bug.
5.0Oct 15 2024 by Marie S. I can’t thank Dr Hart enough for coming to my house on a weekend evening to help our Kodi cross the rainbow bridge. When I first contacted the service they were extremely informative and empathetic. I was able to get an appointment time within 24 hours and they did a great job keeping me informed until they arrived. Dr Hart was compassionate and professional. Having her come to our home allowed Kodi to remain comfortable in his safe environment until the very end. I highly recommend their service to anyone who unfortunately has to experience their fur baby’s passing.
5.0Nov 04 2025 by Tawni D. My family and I felt comfortable and supported as we said goodbye to our family member Leia. Dr. Hart really was perfect coming into our home and helping us say goodbye with love. I am thankful she was the vet that we chose.
5.0Apr 04 2025 by Janine Simac Dr. Hart is a very caring and compassionate Dr. She understood the urgency of our needs and she went out of her way to accommodate us with an appointment. Even though this is a very painful experience, she understands and it makes all the difference to be able to make your pet comfortable in their home.
5.0Dec 02 2024 by Dinah M. Dr. Hart was very kind and compassionate when she was in our home. She explained each step thoroughly and gave us plenty of time to say our goodbyes. I would highly recommend her if you need to say goodbye to your pet.
5.0Jun 05 2024 by Justin L. Dr. Hart helped us create a peaceful and loving environment for our Sully. She encouraged lots of love and treats before starting the process and allowed us the time we needed with him during and after his passing. I would recommend Dr. Hart to anyone having to make this difficult decision.
I was so grateful to find Dr. Hart and be able to book an appointment same day. My Cat of 12 beautiful years Meow Meow had been ill and our vet was unable to find out what was causing his illness. I cannot express how grateful I am to have been able to welcome her into our home to lay him to rest rather than taking him to the vet for his final moments. I did not feel judged for crying, she explained everything every step of the way and made sure that Meow Meow was comfortable with her as well before going through with the service. She allowed me to place him in transport myself and even let me walk out to the car to say goodbye before taking him. If you are looking for a peaceful passing with your fur baby I recommend Dr. Hart. I cannot thank her enough for being there for us.
5.0Jan 06 2025 by Taylor Carlile Dr. Hart was great and the experience could not have been more peaceful. This was a very painful day for me but Dr. Hart did not rush me and I had plenty of time to comfort my baby and say goodbye. She explained the process and told me what she was doing and what to expect for each step. I highly recommend her and it was worth every penny to be able to give my girl a peaceful passing.
5.0Apr 03 2025 by Barbara Smith Dr. Hart was very nice and showed true compassion towards my sad decision to let my beloved fur baby Darla go. We both knew it was time. Quite professional!
Thank you for being so kind.

5.0Mar 10 2026 by Geri S. Dr. Hart was wonderful and handled all my young kids curious questions. I was torn on my kids, 6 and 8, being present and just taking him to a vet but so glad I did it at our home as they were able to say their final goodbyes. I can’t imagine just putting him in the car and leaving and coming back home and then having to deal with all those questions myself.
Thank you again!!!
5.0Oct 04 2025 by Gabe L. While calling for this service is always hard, I deeply appreciate the opportunity it gives to us pet parents to be able to say goodbye in a place where our pets are comfortable and calm. Dr. Hart is an amazing person. She was so calm and had a soothing energy about her. She truly made the whole experience as good as it can possibly be. Thank you Dr. Hart.❤️
5.0Feb 04 2025 by Ashley Sells She was perfect during my most painful crisis. I couldn't even look at her when she arrived. I opened the door to let her in, locked myself in my office where I fell asleep crying and she took care of everything without making me witness images I would never be able to erase. She was professional, non judgemental and empathetic which is exactly what I needed at the time.
5.0Dec 19 2024 by Marlayna B. Dr. Hart was amazing! They were compassionate, empathetic, and non-judgmental. They let me know what ever step of the process was going to be before anything was done, asked if I had questions along the way, and reaffirmed what we were going to do next before we did it. They engaged me in conversation at my pace and I did not feel rushed at all through the processes. We only took the next step when I felt me and my fur baby were ready.
You will be absolutely lucky if Dr. Hart comes to your home to assist you and your fur baby in their passing.
5.0Oct 24 2024 by Shana H. We needed to say goodbye to our 13.5 y/o dog, Chloe, at home. She declined very quickly between Christmas & NY & could no longer walk. We were afraid the holiday would cause delays, & didn't want her to suffer. CodaPet made the process much easier by having Vet credentials & appt times posted. Hard as it is to say goodbye, doing so at home was so much better. Dr. Katharyn Hart was extremely professional, patient, & compassionate. Highly recommend this service.
5.0Jan 04 2025 by Kathryn Caucci Gates Katharyn came on an urgent basis and I was so grateful for that. She was professional, kind, answered all my questions, and helped reassure me that our friend Phoenix wasn't experiencing any pain through the process. She was patient with me, as I wasnt thinking at my best. I very much appreciated her services.
5.0Jan 03 2025 by Gale D. Sweet, unconditional love, expertise, and everything about Dr. Hart was wonderful. Our pup, Lightning went to the rainbow bridge in the best and less stressed way ever possible. Thank You!
5.0Feb 14 2025 by Teresa B. We wanted to thank Dr. Hart for responding so promptly and for providing comforting service to our precious Milo. We also appreciate the tender care given in our home and for the safe transportation service following. It's a difficult decision, but the assurance and understanding cannot be overlooked.
