Dr Kristina was amazing with every step. She was kind beyond words to myself , family and I include my dog as family. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do and she was so helpful and understanding of every moment . I couldn’t have asked for a better Dr to help during this.
5.0Sep 19 2025 by Nate S. Dr Kristina Pugh was a very compassionate caring person at this difficult time. She was professional while also helping us cope with the loss of Benny. Once again thank you so much for what you did for us and I would recommend her to anyone who is in this difficult time of need.
5.0Mar 26 2025 by Cindy A. Dr. Kristina Pugh is honestly the sweetest person EVER! I will never be able to thank her enough for how kind she was to our family and especially our Harley. I never knew about someone coming to the house. I didn’t know how it was going to go. Our sweet dog got to pass in his home, comfortable. Our whole family, who were all an absolute wreck, thought she was perfect. I can’t say enough about her. It’s a difficult time and she made everything easier. Thank you so much for that, Dr. Pugh!
5.0Nov 23 2025 by Kelly C. Truly was our patron saint during a difficult and emotional process. She exudes kindness, sincerity and gentleness. Her guidance through the process was critical to us and our beloved Tess. We can not be thankful enough to her.
5.0Sep 11 2025 by Matt B. Dr. Pugh is one of the most compassionate people I have met in a long time. She guided me through the process with kid gloves. I couldn’t have had a better experience in such a very difficult and heartbreaking situation.
5.0Feb 28 2025 by Karen D. Dr. Pugh was amazing. She guided my wife and I through a very difficult process and allowed us to grieve. Her calm demeanor and utmost professionalism brought comfort to us during an emotionally elevated experience. It was clear that she truly cares for both the pet and the family.
5.0Nov 05 2025 by Robert S. Dr. Pugh was absolutely amazing during our very devastating time. She handled our boy with such care and took the proper action to ensure he was comfortable and not suffering. Dr. Pugh's compassion and empathy during the whole process and even thereafter was unprecedented. We are thankful everyday that she was our vet and helped make the most difficult moment in our lives bearable.
5.0Jan 10 2025 by Ghoncheh M. Dr Pugh was very thoughtful and professional for every step. This was my first experience with in-home euthanasia for a pet. I highly recommend it. This was much better than a potentially stressful trip for the animal's final moments.
Dr. Kristina was absolutely incredible.
We needed to say goodbye to our handsome boy of 18 years, and it was honestly the hardest day of my life. We wanted to do it at home to make things easy on him and us. Dr. Kristina was compassionate, caring, and handled our cat's needs as though he were her own. Her bedside was amazing, and she explained every step of the way to us so we knew what to expect and how he would be feeling. She even gave us time to let the other 2 cats say goodbye.
Well worth every penny for the visit, she is an incredible vet and human <3
5.0May 27 2025 by Cailin T. Dr. Kristina Pugh, the Vet from CodaPet, was very kind in helping us with in-home pet euthanasia for our 16 year old kitty, Josie. She was warm, thoughtful and easy going. She helped us understand the process and helped us to help our other pets see the kitty after she passed away so they knew she was gone. It is such a difficult decision to make, but Dr. Pugh made it more comfortable.
5.0Dec 27 2024 by Ruthie Stine DR Kristina is amazing, we have had a few at home services and by far we felt the most connected to her and her compassionate ways. DR K was thorough and respectful at the same time. She gave us all the steps that she would be taking as Jake was set free. She was so gentle and the procedure went smoothly and without any complications. I would highly recommend DR Kristina Pugh to anyones pets that need end of life services. Thank you doesn’t seem to be enough.
5.0Jul 28 2025 by M Major No other vet I've used before for at home pet euthanasia can compare to Dr. Pugh. During our difficult time saying goodbye to sweet Minnie, she was patient and compassionate with not only Minnie but with my other fur babies and me.
Our baby had the most honorable discharge — not only peaceful but deeply spiritual. I did not know what to expect, but the experience was comforting from beginning to end. Dr. Pugh guided us with her nonjudgmental ear, insightful wisdom, personal stories about her own mother, and a research-based guidance tool that put us at ease. I never valued quantitative data-collecting methods, such as the QOL survey, as much as I do now. We were grateful she shared this tool with us, because it allowed us to see the future clearly. As Dr. Pugh reminded us, “better to be a week early than a day late.”
We are so thankful that she was our doctor — her compassion, clarity, and hugs made all the difference in one of the most difficult moments of our lives. From our ChatGPT deep dive on who to choose, she did not disappoint.
5.0Aug 21 2025 by Valenciá C. Thanks so much for taking care of our dearest OC and us yesterday. Your amazing empathy, patience and kindness turned our sadness into a very special, memorable and loving goodbye that will forever remain in our hearts, thank you Dr. Kristina!
5.0Apr 09 2025 by Aisha Isackson Dr. Pugh made this event as easy as it could possibly go. She handled this with an experienced and confident demeanor, and my cat was not one to cooperate with vets.
Thank you for helping us through a difficult time.
5.0Jul 22 2025 by David T. Dr. Pugh was absolutely amazing throughout. She was so kind and gentle and made sure my beloved dog had the best possible experience in her passing. If you are considering in home pet euthanasia, Dr. Pugh is the best.
5.0Apr 04 2025 by Scott ORourke Not enough superlatives to describe Dr. Pugh. She is a saint. She guided us through an extremely difficult event with a combination of professionalism and genuine compassion for us and our beloved Cooper. A very, very kind , gentle, and nice person.
5.0Dec 02 2025 by Matt B. We used the at home euthanasia services of Dr. Kristina Pugh for our cat Cricket. I am very thankful for the comfort she was able to provide us. The process was very smooth and professional in the comfort of our own home. Dr. Kristina provided a paw print for keepsake and helped us with after care arrangements. The peaceful, radiant vibe of Dr. Kristina is exactly what I want if I ever have to use at home euthanasia services. If the time comes when I have to do this again I will surely contact Dr. Pugh.
5.0Jul 28 2025 by nicholas pippin Dr. Pugh was wonderful. She was very considerate, kind & gentle to my very sick dog. She gave us time to say goodbye to Benni & very considerate & sympathetic to myself & my daughter.
She was also very understanding of my other dog who was acting up.
We couldn’t have asked for more.
5.0Jan 20 2026 by Noemi C. Perfect choice. Dedicated and compassionate pet doctor. Home euthanizing of my beloved, elderly cat was made much easier with Dr. Pugh. God bless her for helping our animals and us through our heart breaking times.
5.0Aug 09 2025 by Heather A. This past Monday was my second time using Peaceful Passage. Gosh, Kristina was so kind and gentle in this vulnerable scenario - we were lucky to have her. Our beautiful girl is finally at peace, but we miss her deeply and always will.
5.0Apr 10 2025 by Kaitlyn Lee We cannot thank Dr Kristina Pugh enough for the compassion and professionalism she showed during one of the hardest moments of our lives. When we had to say goodbye to our beloved Sunny, her gentle approach, genuine care and understanding made an incredibly difficult situation bearable.
Dr Pugh handled everything with such kindness, explaining the whole process clearly and treating Sunny with dignity and respect. We are forever grateful for the empathy and professionalism she showed us.
Dr. Pugh was so compassionate and kind. She hugged our dog Sammy as if he was her own. If he had any idea she was a vet, he would have been extremely anxious. Instead, he thought she was an instant friend. She explained every step to us and treated Sammy with such care. We cannot thank her enough for helping us during such a difficult time.
5.0Jun 24 2025 by Patricia Munley As gut-wrenching as it is to lose a pet, making the arrangements and the final appointment were stress-free. When Dr. Pugh arrived at our home, she took her shoes off, put her bag on the coffee table, then got down on the floor with Raven (our 14 year old dog) to get to know her a bit. Dr. Pugh was soft-spoken while keeping us informed ... choosing her words wisely and precisely. Once Raven was at peace, I was able to assist Dr. Pugh in getting Raven to the car.
You know when the time has come. Don't second-guess yourself, go online with CodaPet. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to get Dr. Kristina Pugh!
5.0Sep 03 2025 by Michelle, Wil and Matt C. Dr Kristina was empathic, kind and compassionate. Dr Kristina also took her time, answered questions and made this painful experience more bearable. As a result we feel more at peace.
5.0Jan 14 2025 by James M. As difficult as this choice may be, choosing Dr Pugh to facilitate the process was easy. She came with amazing referrals and was absolutely wonderful. Everyone knows the pain, deep pain of making this decision. With Kristina leading us through the process, we were able to focus on sharing quality time with Dennis, my cat. I’ll always be grateful for that.
5.0Jul 15 2025 by Jeffrey V. Thank you for helping us put Lulu to rest. Dr. Pugh couldn’t have been any sweeter. She was so kind and patient with us, especially the kids. 10/10 recommended Love, the Leppert family
5.0Aug 16 2025 by Kimberly Baker Dr. Pugh was kind, compassionate, and professional. She took the time to answer all of my children’s questions and concerns which really made an incredibly sad experience a bit easier. Dr. Pugh did not rush the process and every step felt personal and empathetic. If you find yourself having to say goodbye to a beloved pet, Dr. Pugh is the one you want by your side. Thank you ❤️
5.0May 26 2025 by Rachael B. Dr. Kristina Pugh came to us on one of our worst days when it was time to put our first beloved pet to sleep. We made our in-home pet euthanasia appointment the day before and from the time of booking, Dr. Kristina was empathetic and responsive and let us know we could chat about quality of life or a more urgent appointment if needed. Dr. Kristina arrived and greeted our dogs, talked us through the process, offered helpful words of comfort and encouragement, and gave us space and time to say our tearful goodbyes. She was caring and compassionate on a very sad and personal day for us. We didn't know exactly what to expect, but we couldn't have asked for a better experience all things considered. Our Molly girl passed peacefully in our arms and she is now at rest. Thank you to Dr. Kristina for making a difficult day just a little bit easier.
5.0Mar 10 2025 by Allyson Santorelli Kristina was patient, kind, and compassionate. All traits you hope for when experiencing the heartbreak of losing a beloved pet. Thank you for helping our baby girl cross over in a calm and pain free way.
5.0May 13 2025 by Zack&Rach Belcher Our girl wasn’t great at car rides at the end of her life and was terrified of the vet. She would get so worked up and we just knew we didn’t want her last moments to be scary. So when the day came where her life wasn’t quality, we knew we wanted to have in-home euthanasia done. After contacting several local companies, we were relieved to find CodaPet and even more relieved to have Dr. Kristina be available within a few hours.
She was an amazing comfort in such a sad time and explained everything. She loved on our girl before even sitting down, and complimented her over and over. When the time came, she was respectful, gave us time and space and listened as we told stories about our girl.
It is slightly more expensive than the vets office, but it was 100% the right choice for our baby.
5.0Dec 23 2024 by J Shoemaker Dr Pugh was amazing. I cannot describe how gentle, considerate, caring and respectful she was with my dog and with the situation. She made such a hard and sad event as peaceful and as dignified as humanly possible. When the time comes to make that hard decision with my other dog, I hope Dr Pugh is available.
5.0Apr 16 2025 by Scott O. Dr. Pugh was a wonderful, calming presence in the midst of an extremely difficult time. She treated our dog’s final moments with empathy, respect, and truly cared for us in our difficult time. We thank her for helping us through a terribly difficult day.
5.0May 21 2025 by Graham D. After an amazing 14 year journey with the kindest German Shepherd that ever lived, we made the impossible decision to allow Jakob to continue his journey without us. Contacting Dr. Pugh and scheduling an in home pet euthanasia was a monumental decision in our lives with Jakob. Thank you Dr. Pugh. You made our heartbreak a wee bit better. He was indeed a Good Boy.
5.0Jul 30 2025 by Dennis Friedlander On the morning of Duncan's unplanned final journey, I was a mess. Dr. K connected with me in her gentle, caring way and was able to guide our family through the grief and loss. She took her time and for that moment in time bonded with us. She lent us her strength to carrying on. Thank you for caring.
5.0Jan 09 2026 by Heidi L. Dr. Kristina came to our home displaying kindness and concern for our cat and our family. It was a difficult day to invite a stranger into our home, but we felt at ease with Dr. Kristina as she assisted Spin in her peaceful transition.
5.0Mar 29 2025 by Debora D. Having Dr Pugh come to my house to put my 16 year old standard poodle to sleep was such a positive experience and I am so lucky to have discovered her instead of going to a cold Vets office. She was extremely professional and very sympathetic to what me and my family were going through. I highly recommend her ! She created a warm and loving environment in the confines of my home for the final send off to my best Friend Coal.
5.0Oct 26 2025 by Craig J. Dr. Kristina Pugh helped us say goodbye to our beloved cat, Rodney, with so much compassion and grace. She enabled us to have beautiful last moments together, making sure he was comfortable and surrounded by love. She gave us as much time as we needed, answered all of our questions, and explained what to expect before anything happened, which made the process gentler and less overwhelming. After days of watching him struggle in pain, it was such a relief to see him at peace.
Dr. Pugh went out of her way to call the cemetery ahead of our arrival to make a special request on our behalf. We didn't know she had done that until we showed up there. It was a beautiful surprise.
She was so professional, kind, and gentle, guiding our cat smoothly to the other side. I will be forever grateful that she gave him such a peaceful and dignified passing, and gave us the comfort of knowing he left this world loved and at ease.
5.0Sep 11 2025 by Katie V. Though this was the hardest thing I think I ever had to go through, Dr. Pugh was absolutely amazing. She brought as much comfort and reassurance as humanly possible.
I know that my sweet boy was much happier leaving this world in the comfort of his own home.
I’m glad I chose Dr. Pugh.
