What pet parents are saying
Very kind and gentle man,... He knows how painful the process can be and he lets you theshare your grief. I believe he is doing the best thing career wise since he loves people and wishes the best for all people in losing their beloved pets
Grateful to have found a company/ Dr. Martin to provide our senior dog's last goodbye. Dr. Martin was very flexible and warm. My dog used to get anxious around new people, but his calm demeanor made everything a comfortable experience. I highly recommend using this at-home service.
Dr Martin was amazing. I am heartbroken but the respect and care they showed me was amazing. So gentile with my dog. So respectful. And available faster then any other team
I highly recommend Dr. Lane. He took time to answer our questions and took his lead from us. He was not pushy or needing to rush anything. He is gentle, kind and clearly caring with our four legged family members. His presence is calm and comforting. During such a difficult decision and occurrence in any family, I encourage you to consider Dr. Lane Martin and Codapet.
Dr. Martin was wonderful. Kind, thoughtful, informative, and skilled at the task of painlessly helping my best friend, Sunny the cat, move on to her next life. He also listened patiently. I am really grateful for Dr. Martin's excellent, compassionate care.
Dr. Lane Martin provided compassionate care during this end of life process for our beloved Kiya. While it’s never an easy decision to make, it was the right decision to have her at home in her comfortable place with those she loves. Dr. Martin was reassuring - asking all the right questions - affirming it was her time to go. The procedure was explained and went smoothly. She was able to pass peacefully in our arms receiving all the love she deserved. Thank you Dr. Lane Martin. Coda Pet has a very easy & efficient process to schedule and pay for this service. Linda S.
It takes a special kind of person to do this work full time and Dr. Martin easily showed he has what it takes. Even though it was a sad occasion, it was a pleasure to work with him.
Dr. Lane was sensitive and caring throughout the difficult procedure. He explained very well what to expect. We had a very good experience with him and would highly recommend him. Shellie Hoover
In home euthanasia takes some of the sting out of letting your animal companion go. So compassionate. Dr. Martin was calming and respectful. He explained the process and made sure our cat and us were comfortable and ready. I highly recommend codapet.
Dr. Lane Martin was so compassionate and thoughtful throughout the entire process. Explaining how our baby may react to the injections and what to expect. We could not have asked for a kinder person during this heartbreaking time.
Dr. Lane was wonderful. He reached out to us to confirm the appointment and ask any questions. When he arrived he was so thoughtful in how he approached the appointment and explained everything and gave us the space to say goodbye to our sweet cat. He is wonderful and the service was great and I would highly recommend to my friends. Thank you!
It has taken us a minute to write this only because we have been missing our little Bella Princess so much. In what is and can be a very challenging and difficult decision, Dr. Lane was the ABSOLUTE BEST and most compassionate vet. He is sincerely caring and took the time to listen to our story. He was very good at explaining the process, how it worked and what we should expect. He was so patient. Because of his professionalism, it was a peaceful and painless experience for all of us! If you have to make this difficult decision for your animal, I couldn’t recommend Dr. Lane anymore for being the one who helps you through this challenging time.
I was impressed with the thorough examination Dr Lane Martin did on my beloved kitty. I wondered if I was doing the right thing letting her go. The vet explained everything so I had a complete understanding and it gave me comfort to know it really was the right time to say goodbye. He was very patient and kind through the whole process. He brought her ashes back with a thoughtful card. I felt he cared. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Martin was fabulous. He talked us through the whole process and allevieted any concerns we had. I have recommended him to several people. My sweet dog had such high anxiety going to the vet. She was able to pass peacefully on her favorite bed. Thank you so much Dr. Martin and CodaPet.
Dr. Martin was kind, compassionate and made the whole process as easy as possible for all of us. He obviously cares about what he does and the animals and their people. The online scheduling was very convenient as we needed the services very quickly as our beloved Sophie took a very rapid turn. Thanks so much for making a very difficult situation easier and one less thing to worry about.
It was really the best choice I ever made for good 'ol dog Bennie at 19.5 years old. Not only could the closest people to him be close to him in the comfort of his home, but his other fur friends could be there with him as well so they could understand why he left. It was a very peaceful passing and I couldn't thank Dr. Martin enough for his kind and passionate care for my beloved Bennie.
Dr. Martin was kind and gentle. He explained the process as this was our first time losing a pet. Cash got to go to sleep peacefully in my lap and I appreciate that Dr. Martin was able to relieve his suffering.
Dr. Lane Martin brought everything needed to assure that our little 'Inspector Clouseau' died peacefully: knowing that he was treasured by our small family circle. His love of animals and empathy for their human companions made a inevitable day, a day of grace. For that, I am ever grateful.
Dr. Martin helped ease our sweet baby into a peaceful goodnight. He treated us with kindness and compassion. This decision is never a good one, but I’d recommend Dr Martin to anyone facing the worst choice imaginable. We thank you for taking care of our family, Dr Martin.
Losing my Yorkie baby Tank on October 23rd was the hardest thing I ever experienced. Tank was the sweetest dog we had for more than 14 years and he joined our family when he was only 8 weeks. It was a very difficult decision to schedule the appointment with Dr. Martin, and even harder to make the call at the last moment. Dr. Martin was very professional. He was patient and compassionate; explained everything in details and comforted us that we were making the right decision. Tank end up passing on his own. While Dr. Martin was examining him before the injection, Tank knew it was time for him to go. I really appreciate Dr. Martin to be there with us during this difficult time and he even personally delivered Tank (in a wooden urn) back to us one week later. Thank you so much, Dr. Martin for doing this hard job. You are helping so many pet parents...you are such a blessing to us. We also received the hand written card from him which brought us comfort. Thank you, Doctor!
Dr. Martin made this difficult moment much easier. He was kind and patient. Explained each step the process as it was happening and let me set the pace. My Reni had a calm, loving, and peaceful passing which truly eased my pain and grief.
Dr. Martin was compassionate, respectful, professional, and very skilled. He helped ease one of the most traumatic moments I've experienced and made it not seem like a cold clinical process. I'm incredibly grateful for his assistance giving us and Prym the most humane send off.
Dr. Martin was very personable and chatted with me and my adult sons when he arrived to establish rapport. His explanation of each step of the procedure was thorough and professional. He was very kind with our pet and respectful of our wishes for the final moments. This was my first experience with in-home euthanasia and I highly recommend it, if possible. Dr. Martin took much of the anguish out of the process. It was sad, but dignified.
Dr. Lane has a kind and quiet presence that was really comforting during an emotionally fraught time. He answered all my questions in a thoughtful and thorough manner and gave me all the information I needed to feel at peace throughout the process. I felt like he really cared about my cat and did everything he could so she would pass with dignity and love.
We made a very difficult decision to euthanize our sweet Shorthair Havanese dog. She was 13 years old and we had her since 7 weeks old. We decided that in home euthanasia would be the best option for our family and for Snickers. Dr. Martin brought his calm and caring presence at our agreed time. He greeted us and our Snickers with compassion and consideration for the difficult decision we made. He made us all comfortable with the decision we made and understood that Snickers was ready for that cross over to the Rainbow Bridge. We didn't feel rushed and was able to spend the last moments with her. We have another dog who is 15.5 years old and when his time comes, we hope to make a similar choice when the time is right.
Dr Lane was incredibly compassionate and thoughtful during such a sad and heartbreaking moment for our family. He took the time to love on our sweet pup and gave us the time we needed. Explaining everything along the way. He even noticed all our family photos that included her acknowledging how loved she was and that he could tell she had an amazing life. Very personable and kind.
Dr. Lane has a great bedside manner and was great about being kind, informative, and gentle. Our old doggie stayed very calm and we were thankful not having to take him to a clinic.
He did a great job explaining the procedure and was very compassionate and empathetic, which was a huge part of why I chose to do euthanasia at-home. Thank you so much Dr. Martin
Dr. Martin was so caring & did his best to explain every step. He was kind & soft spoken while we held our fur baby in our arms. He also was able to get our kitties ashes & paw print back to us in under 1 week. I do think he made a special effort to facilitate that. He was very understanding & supportive in our grief.
Dr. Martin was so kind, professional and knowledgeable about our dog and her situation. Having the at home euthanasia was such a stress free element to an already stressful & sad situation. We are thankful our dog was able to pass at home comfortably. Would definitely recommend to anyone in this situation.
Dr Martin is a very caring vet and I would recommend him to all. If you want your pet to take heir final journey being comfortable in their own home, then ask for Dr Lane Martin. Thanks for taking care of our Isaac!
Dr. Martin helped us gracefully put our sweet Kitty Figgy to sleep. She had good days and bad, but on a day when she was stable, Dr. Martin helped us ease her into forever. Dr. Martin was calm, respectful, and kind as we lost our baby. I would forever recommend saying goodbye to my pets at home, and Dr. Martin made what was decidedly an awful day much more bearable. We are grateful.
Dr. Martin was absolutely wonderful during one of the hardest moments of our lives. He explained the process with so much care, gave us time to say goodbye while Ruger passed, and also time afterward to just be with him. He even hand-delivered our pup’s ashes and sent the sweetest card. I will absolutely recommend Dr. Martin to anyone who has to go through this heartbreaking process—he made it as gentle and compassionate as it could possibly be.
Dr. Martin was incredibly kind. He wanted to hear about my relationship with my dog - what was going on with her, how she entered my life. And he was very flexible with the arrangements. It's always the hardest thing, but Dr. Martin facilitated a special experience.
Dr. Lane was patient, explained the process well and there to answer any questions I had. He was empathetic and a great vet to work with during a very sad and stressful time.
Dr. Lane Martin was very kind and compassionate. He made sure all of our questions were answered and guided us through the process with patience and reassurance. He made one of our most heartbreaking moments of our lives just a little bit easier with his support and empathy. We are at peace, and are grateful for Dr. Lane Martin is assisting us with giving our pet the gentlest of goodbyes.
Our cat went downhill really fast from kidney failure and we wanted to help him pass away peacefully at home. We were able to get a same-day appointment with Dr. Lane Martin, scheduled online. Dr. Martin communicated with us via text so we'd know when he was arriving (he got stuck in traffic, but let us know so we had a few extra minutes with our sweet cat). At our home, Dr. Martin was compassionate and respectful, explaining the process and giving us plenty of time to say goodbye to our cat. He administered a sedative first, and we were able to hold and pet our cat as he peacefully passed away. Dr. Martin then stepped out of the room so we could take the time we needed to say goodbye. Losing a beloved pet is so hard, but I'm extremely grateful that our cat was able to pass peacefully at home. Thank you, Dr. Martin.
Dr. Martin was great. He gave an examination and asked questions about our cat Hobbes' condition, ultimately giving us reassurance that we were making the correct decision. He explained each step of the process and how Hobbes might react. Thankfully everything went very smoothly and he passed away peacefully on his favorite napping spot on our couch. I can't thank Dr. Martin enough for making such a hard day a little bit easier for me and my wife.
It was time to say goodbye to our senior dog, Teek. He had been ill and the symptoms were becoming more apparent. We knew it was time... Dr. Martin was able to come quickly, and was such a comfort in helping us with the decision and the procedure. Having had some experience prior, we knew what to expect. Dr. Martin took even more care, and made the process more bearable. I highly recommend his services.
Dr. Martin was so incredibly kind and gentle with us and our cat Hanzo. He took the time to explain the process and sit with us in our grief. We will be forever grateful for helping put our sick little guy to rest.
Dr. Lane Martin had the exact right type of personality for the service he was performing as well as being very quick and sure with the needle so my Nacho barely flinched and didn't even whine. My husband was shocked at how reasonable the bill was. I cried a lot when I realized it was time to make the appointment and doubtless will cry a bunch more but during the procedure all I felt was a sense of relief. Seeing Nacho between the sedative and the final injection just resting comfortably in his final moments meant the world to me.
It has taken us a minute to write this only because we have been missing our little Bella Princess so much. In what is and can be a very challenging and difficult decision, Dr. Lane was the ABSOLUTE BEST and most compassionate vet. He is sincerely caring and took the time to listen to our story.

If you have to make this difficult decision for your animal, I couldn’t recommend Dr. Lane anymore for being the one who helps you through this challenging time.
Dr. Martin was kind and caring during the last moments of Caden's life as our fur baby. He was patient and explained every process in compassionate detail. We also thought that him bringing the ashes back directly to us which allowed him to check in on us was extremely thoughtful. I would recommend his services to anyone during that difficult time of their lives.
I can’t speak highly enough of Dr. Martin. He was available at the exact time we needed someone to come and he showed so much care for my beloved cat Winter and our family. He was willing to work in a cramped space on the balcony so that we could enjoy the fresh air in Winter’s last moments of life. Her death was so peaceful and she showed no fear or discomfort at all. I’m so glad this service was available and that Dr. Martin could help our family. It’s difficult to put a beloved pet to sleep but when the time comes, it’s so much better to be able to do it at home on your own terms.
Dr Martin has a very calm, kind and professional manner. He had excellent communication, with a very personal and caring approach. Thank you for helping out family through this difficult time.
Dr. Martin was very kind and thoughtful to our family, and especially to Kumo. Kumo passed peacefully and is now pain free. For that, our family is eternally grateful. Thank you Dr. Martin
Dr Lane was very gentle with Zippy, talking to him the whole time, scratching his ears, petting him gently. He was very caring. Dr Lane made a very sad experience less stressful Thank you, doctor. Camille and John Staczek
Dr. Martin was a true gift to our family during a hard time. He made us feel ready to say goodbye to our best friend and provided a calm and peaceful presence throughout his time with us.
Dr. Lane was simply perfect. By his kindness, warmth, and professionalism, he made the heartbreaking loss of our dear family pet manageable. There is literally nothing that I would recommend that he change in his approach to his work. I would highly recommend him to anyone who finds themselves facing the challenge of end-of-life care for their pet.
Dr. Martin was a calm, supportive presence during this difficult transition. He was respectful of the experience from the moment he gently knocked on our door, throughout the process and up until he quietly let himself out once his role was complete. We are so grateful to have had him to provide a most peaceful and loving farewell to our beloved pup. I would recommend him and his services to anyone in a heartbeat.
Dr. Lane was warm, kind, empathetic, and gentle. He thoroughly explained every step of the process - and never rushed us. I felt very grateful for his kindness during this sad and difficult time.

Dr. Martin was wonderful. His kind and compassionate approach put us and our ailing dog at ease. He was calm, thoughtful, and answered all our questions throughout the process. He made this sad moment as good as it could be.
Dr. Martin helped our family on one of our hardest days. We needed to book an appointment first thing in the morning and appreciated the simplicity of booking online. After we booked the appointment, it was easy to communicate with Dr. Martin, and thankfully he was able to come to our home even earlier than the scheduled time. He helped us understand what was happening with our dog, and was very kind and clear about what was going to happen when he gave our dog rest. He allowed us time to grieve and made everything a little bit easier on a terrible day. Would definitely recommend.
It was a heart wrenching experience to have to euthanize my sweet dog Molly because of her serious heart disease. Dr. Martin was professional, Molly passed peacefully at home. A week later, Dr. Martin even delivered Molly's ashes to our home.
Kudos to Dr. Martin Of CodaPet. When he arrived at our home, we all , my cat "Ollie" wrapped a blanket, sat on the porch. He did not rush but talked with us until both cat and I were calm. A sedative made for a sleepy cat, so the euthanasia that followed did not cause him discomfort. I hated to let go, but this was a kindness to a terminally ill cat.
Dr. Lane was so amazing. He explained every thing thoroughly to us when we had to put our sweet dog down. He answered every one of our questions that we had. It was so much better than having to take our dog to the vet.
The in home euthanasia process was a hard decision to make, but once I talked to Dr. Lane Martin. I felt better in the decision. Dr. Martin was compassionate and understanding of the difficult decision of letting my dog go. If I have to do it again in the future. I would use CodaPet.
Dr Martin was so gentle & kind when he arrived and through out the whole process. He took one look at our senior dog and confirmed how bad he was & would progress. It was a reassuring confirmation to our decision.
Dr Martin was kind and compassionate. He was gentle with us and our precious girl. This is an awful time to meet someone, but if you need this service, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him
I'm grateful for CodaPet, and specifically Dr. Lane Martin. He was kind and very respectful, and made a sad situation better.💜He spoke softly to my cat, Sunny, and told her what a good girl she is. He asked relevant questions, gave me plenty of information, and listened well. His empathy & caring were evident. Dr. Martin even respectfully listened to me share how I'd used an animal communicator to find out my cat wanted to cross over. All in all, it was a beautiful experience.🌈
Our family was pleased with Dr. Lane Martin he showed compassion, love, and professionalism. He explained what he saw Maya was going thru after examining her. Dr. Martin felt our pain and thru this process he understood who we were and Maya and took this sad time at our pace. A very hard time for any family to go thru and Dr. Martin helped us to get thru this.
This was the second time we used Dr. Martin's services. Our dog Bryn was experiencing significant neuro issues. We decided that evening we needed to put an end to any further suffering. We contacted Dr. Martin early the next morning and he was able to come over soon after. He is wonderful at helping you through this extremely difficult process with compassion and care for both you and your pet. He understands the difficulty in this being the last moments with your pet and gives you the time to grieve the loss. I highly recommend Dr. Martin.
Rambo, our precious gentle giant, was losing his battle with bone cancer. Hevwas very affraid of going to the vet, and we didnt want him going through any more stress, so Dr Martin came to our home so that our Rambo could pass peaceful, surrounded by loved ones. He was very compassionate and gentle with him, and he walked us through everything, so that we knew what to expect.
I cannot thank Dr Lane Martin enough for his patience and guidance regarding my beloved dog on her final day and in getting her ashes back. You need reassurance that you are doing what is best for your pet. My dog was the best and I loved her as my child. Understanding grief and information I received from coda pet as well helped me stand up for my needs with my sister and her spouse. Dr Martin is dedicated to helping you and your pet through this process. People used to ask me how I could work as a hospice nurse but I was gifted in helping people across the widest ranges of situations. He has that gift for pets and their owners and this is his practice. Thank you
My Little Guy was so very sick. He did manage to crawl out of his bed during his last night and snuggle next to me. He could barely walk, but when Dr. Martin came he did rally for one last snarl. He hated the vet. The only thing he hated more than the vet, was the vet’s clinic. I’m so grateful we didn’t have to take him there. He was able to take his last breath in his own bed surrounded by the people who loved him. Thank you to Dr. Martin for witnessing our grief and guiding us through our last goodbye.
Thank you Dr .Martin to help us when we at very hard time to say goodbye to our lovely boy. He professional and help my little boy go on peace with no more pain to worry.
He is very professional. Explains the process, but doesn't get in the way of saying goodbye. And reassured me that my little guy wasn't in any pain which was very important to me.
Dr. Martin was very compassionate, he took time to answer our questions because we weren’t sure if it was the right time. Afterwards he sent a lovely card. You cannot ask for much more than that. It was a peaceful, calm experience.
Our sweet loving corgi had medical problems we couldn’t correct. Dr Martin arrived at our home, kind, spoke to us. We knew we had no options but to have our Kobe put out of misery. Dr Martin was patient, soft spoken, empathy and thoughtful. My husband and I had him put to sleep Mac at 14 with DM, Alfie at 13 with seizures at clinic. This service of coming to our home was perfect for us as seniors. Appreciate the support during difficult time.
Dr. Martin was great. He gave an examination and asked questions about our cat Hobbes' condition, ultimately giving us reassurance that we were making the correct decision. He explained each step of the process and how Hobbes might react. Thankfully everything went very smoothly and he passed away peacefully on his favorite napping spot on our couch. I can't thank Dr. Martin enough for making such a hard day a little bit easier for me and my wife.
Dr. Martin was very personable and so patient with our scared little boy. He was respectful of our time with Rocky in his last minutes and did not intrude on our grief, but was very empathetic. I highly recommend Dr. Martin.
Dr Martin handled our pup's euthanasia with compassion and professionalism. We will certainly use his services again when the need arises. I recommend the service whole-heartedly.
Our family feels very fortunate Dr. Martin was available to help our dog Ruby when the time came for her to peacefully pass. He was a great comfort to all of us, Ruby too, in navigating one of life's most miserable decisions.
Dr. Lane Martin is so kind and empathetic. He walked us through the process ahead of time. In our worst moments, he was compassionate and understanding. He was caring in our grief. She went so gently, on her own bed, surrounded by love. We could not have had anyone better than Dr. Martin helping guide our old girl.
Very thankful to Dr. Martin, he was very patient and kind. Grateful that our sweet 12 year old pup was able to pass peacefully in the comfort of her home.
Letting my sick baby down is the hardest decision I’ve ever made in my life. Dr. Lane Martin was the best. He was so tender and my baby didn’t seem to experience any pain like others described online. My baby passed peacefully in a comfort of his home. I’m so thankful for him, and think euthanasia at home worth every penny,.
Dr. Martin made the heartbreaking experience of euthanizing our dog Sunny less painful. We were burdened with guilt. Dr. Martin answered our questions and was able to explain her situation in a caring manner that alleviated some of the pain in saying goodbye. There was a degree of comfort in having him there through the process of her passing. He gave us all of the private time we needed with Sunny afterwards. I highly recommend Dr. Martin to take you through this difficult time.
It was such a difficult decision to let 16 yr old Gabriel go. But he was suffering. Now he is at peace. Dr Martin was very compassionate. The process was also calm & peaceful. Gabriel took his last breaths on my lap I am sad, but I am glad that my Gabriel is at peace & in pain no more
Dr. Martin was wonderful! He made a very difficult day a little less so. Having him come to the house made a huge difference in the stress level for me and my cat. If I have an option, I will never put an animal down in a vets office again.
He brought a calm and compassionate aura to Gizmo, my grandson, and I. He explained everything clearly and waited for us to process and prepare for what was to come. When it was over, he took great care in letting us let go without any sense of hurry. When he left with Gizmo we knew he was in good hands. He took the time to reassure us of the rightness of our decision once again. Will be forever grateful.
We’ve thought a lot about that day and we appreciate him walking us through the process. It brought us a lot of peace knowing Lovey could pass comfortably in her home. The level of care bringing her back home was very thoughtful. Thank you, Dr. Martin.
Dr Martin was very caring and compassion and very comforting during this most difficult moment. I appreciated his quiet words of support. It was a no win situation and Lane's presence helped me get thru it.
Dr. Martin was incredibly kind, patient, and supportive during one of the most difficult moments we’ve faced. He guided us through the at-home euthanasia process with empathy and clarity, ensuring our dog could pass peacefully. We are deeply grateful for his calm presence, genuine compassion, and the care and respect he showed our family and our beloved dog.
It was very difficult decision to let go of our beloved pet, and Dr. Martin was comforting and thoughtful throughout the whole process. Thank you Dr. Martin for your thoughtfulness!
August 17th was a really hard day. It was Sunday, and my boy Gus had been to the vet that Friday because he was acting just a little off. By Saturday at 1:00 we got the news - late stage advanced renal failure, so in order to feel productive and push aside my emotions for the time being, I scheduled an in home euthanasia for Monday afternoon. I stayed up with him all night, and by 6:00am I knew that trying to hold on until Monday afternoon was no longer the right choice. His condition advanced so rapidly that the thought of moving him and taking him somewhere just felt out of the question - I wasn't sure he could even survive being transported, and for a boy that loved his Vet office so much, I could not bear moving him and taking him some place unfamiliar. After hours of calls, emails, inquiries, Dr. Martin swooped in - he actually doesn't live far from us, and he was able to come around 11:30am. By 12:00pm my boy was gone. It was devastating, it was kind, it was everything that my boy deserved. And, when his remains were ready to come home, Dr. Martin delivered to us so we did not have to go pick him up. It was a gut wrenching, but incredible experience, and has inspired me to look into training to be a Certified Animal Hospice Practitioner so that I can help other families through their experience. I will be forever grateful.
As heartbreaking as this was Lane made it so peaceful for our little girl to rest and see her puppy sister in heaven. It’s a tough think to recommend to people but if it’s time for you and your pet I wouldn’t suggest anywhere else. Thank you so much lane.
Dr Martin was kind and professional. He was attentive and gentle with our girl and with us. It is difficult to write about as we are grieving. Dr. Martin answered our questions, accepted our tears, and with compassion for our girl, helped us let her go. We are grateful.
Dr. Martin made a hard decision feel like we were doing the right thing for our 13 year old dog who was losing mobility. Coming to our home where it was peaceful and comfortable, as well as Dr. Martin's kind presence, helped tremendously with the grief of the situation. The aftercare options were also thoughtful. Having this service available is truly a gift.
Dr. Martin was compassionate and informative throughout this difficult time. We really appreciated the opportunity to keep our pup in the comfort of his own home.
Dr Martin, made a very difficult decision easier. He was thoughtful, kind, empathatic and added even a little humor to our parting. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing to say goodbye to their pet.
I am sincerely grateful for Dr. Martin. He was incredibly kind, supportive, and understanding. He made this experience the best it could have possibly been and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Dr Martin was so kind and understanding. He explained everything in advance and gave us time to be with our beloved companion. It’s such a difficult experience but it was comforting to have the procedure handled by such a compassionate and caring vet.
Our experience with Dr. Lane Martin could not have been better. He helped us and our beloved cat be as comfortable as possible. He was humane and kind and asked good questions and listened carefully to our answers. It was clear he had the confidence of our cat and everything went smoothly. We are very grateful for his expertise and and his grace.
I cannot express how much I appreciate the service that Dr Lane provides. For such an awful situation of having to say goodbye to a member of my family was - he brought so much comfort and clarity every step of the way. I didn't have to worry that I was taking One Two to a place that he was fearful of, that he could have everything that smelled like home near by and be comfortable in his own bed. One of the most impactful parts was being able to give my other cats the opportunity to say goodbye as well - something I had never had the opportunity to do before. Every service is so thought out - it makes it so easy to focus on what matters.
Our nephew recommended in home euthanasia to us. We wanted to avoid stressing our Sasha dog. It was a beautiful, peaceful experience. Dr. Lane Martin was gentle and kind to us explaining the process, reassuring us and calming Sasha. We definitely recommend Codapet to anyone facing this difficult decision. Thank you for providing this wonderful opportunity.
It is never easy to say goodbye to a beloved pet. We had an in-home euthanasia with Dr Lane Martin. He was compassionate, and communicative throughout the process. Thank you Dr Martin.
We are deeply grateful for the compassion and professionalism shown by Dr. Lane during the difficult process of saying goodbye to our beloved dog. He treated our pet with such gentleness and dignity, and guided us through the euthanasia procedure with genuine care and understanding. In an incredibly emotional time for our family, his kindness, patience, and empathy brought us great comfort. We truly appreciate the respect he showed both to our dog and to us, and we are thankful for the exceptional care he provided during one of the hardest moments we’ve faced.
Dr. Martin was the calm, soothing presence we needed on Prince’s final day. He really helped us through the process as we were so lost at the time
I can't imagine having to bring our cat in a pet carrier to the vet to put her down. Being able to use an in home euthanasia service was very important to keeping our cat calm and feeling loved. Dr. Martin arrived just at the time we expected, explained everything clearly and our dear cat, Idgie, left this world peacefully. It's horrible to have to put your pet down, but I couldn't imagine anyone being more understanding than Dr. Martin. Additionally, Dr. Martin checked in with me the next day and gave me some grief resources.
I've never been more impressed with a vet. I tried everything under the sun to get my dog better and I carried such massive guilt over the decision. I didn't know what to expect, as I had never put a pet to sleep before. I didn't know how I'd handle it and was struggling all week at work to avoid crying - I didn't even tell my coworkers so that I wouldn't break down into tears. Dr. Martin immediately made me feel at ease when he arrived. He has such a warm and caring demeanor. He listened so thoughtfully when I talked about my dog and her journey, then helped me to feel reassured in my decision. The night before the appointment, he spent 30+ minutes on the phone with me because I was still questioning whether there might be something else I can do. He listened while I ran through her history from the last two years. When he brought the ashes, he even included such a nice condolence card. I'm just blown away at how smooth of a process this was and how kind Dr. Martin is. If I know of anyone going through this, I will highly recommend Codapet and Dr. Martin. I wish that he/Codapet offered home visits for regular vet exams and routine vaccines. I would definitely pay for that service for my other dogs. Thank you so much, Dr. Martin! The 5 star reviews are all true and well-deserved!
When Dr Martin arrived, my little guy Barney ran to the door to greet him like he did all guests. He even barked at him, before jumping up to him to get attention. Dr Martin greeted him back, warmly and sincerely. He was playful with Barney while explaining the process to us. Lane made a horrible no win situation more acceptable with his calm demeanor and soothing words. I can't thank Dr Martin enough for helping little Barney come to peaceful end to his life's journey.
From the moment he came to our door, his calm compassionate nature shined through. His patience and tenderness put our normally excitable dogs at ease. He accessed Sasha and agreed that his quality of life would only get worse over time. His difficulty breathing would eventually affect his movement and balance. George held Sasha on his lap, Dr. Lane kneeled beside him and administered the medications. He went peacefully. Doctor Lane gave us time to say our goodbyes and answered all our last minute questions. It made a difficult decision a truly memorable one. Thank you.
Dr. Martin was kind, empathetic, and soft at a time we really needed it. He explained the euthanasia process clearly and gave us as much time as we needed to love, hold, and grieve our sweet boy, Oliver. Dr. Martin was professional throughout the procedure and provided a peaceful, pain free, goodbye to my best friend of 13 years, and we are so grateful.
Dr. Martin was very professional and helpful during the time of putting JJ down. After JJ had joined Jake & Hobo on the other side Lane offered to help carry JJ to the back yard which meant a lot to me because trying to carry a 110lb German Shepard when he has gone is no easy feat. Thanks Lane for being so understanding and thoughtful during this time. Oren
Dr. Martin was kind, compassionate, understanding, thorough and knowledgeable. He made a tough time so very easy. The added benefit of a vet coming to your house allows for privacy, and is so much more practical than transporting a very sick animal. I recommend him and his services highly. he’s a 10/10!
Dr. Martin was so kind and informative. It was such a hard day losing our beloved pet of 17 years. Dr. Martin was gentle and gave us the space to be with her before during and after. We appreciated everything he did to make the day a tiny bit less challenging.
