Dr. Meadows was amazing with us and our pet in our time of need. I could see that my cat needed assistance right away, and he showed up for us and more. He was very clear, but empathetic, about what would happen and when when the time came, and he and his team did an incredible job seeing through that her remains were handled respectfully and with care. You can tell Dr. Meadows really understands and cares for animals and the people who love them. I cannot express how thankful I am that he showed up for us when he did and helped my cat pass on. Thank you so much 🙏
5.0Jan 31 2026 by Keri H. Thank you to Dr Keri and all of CodaPet. Our sweet boy gets car sick and I didn't want him to feel anxious or rushed in his last moments. It was a very calm and peaceful experience. Dr Keri listened to us and to Miko throughout the whole process. I would recommend this route for anyone who has to say goodbye to their fur baby. Thank you again, it meant the world to us.
5.0Feb 07 2026 by Megan Morey Dr. Lane Martin helped make the best of an extremely sad experience as we said goodbye to our pet. We are very thankful for his care and genuine compassion and we will recommend him to anyone going through the same.
5.0Feb 07 2026 by Evan Stagliano Dr. Jill was absolutely amazing. She made the entire tragic experience very personable & positive for us. Her bed side manor is exactly what a pet parent would need to push through the death of a fur baby. This is unequivocally the option to select. Personally, I would not go back to the vet to put any pet down. Thank you, Dr. Jill, for your compassion and gentle nature. With gratitude, Kyro's Family
5.0Feb 08 2026 by Judith Kendrix It is bittersweet sharing my in home pet euthansia experience online, but I know it might be incredibly helpful for another family. My family and I had to urgently euthanize our 11 year old Labrador Retriever but I couldn't bring myself to do it at the emergency vet. Knowing an at home euthansia experience would be better for me, my family, and my anxious dog, I was able to quickly and easily schedule online within a matter of minutes. I received a confirmation text and email, and a compassionate phone call from the providing veterinarian to confirm the appointment. The providing vet cared for our dog AND our family with respect, dignity, compassion, and professionalism. There were not any awkward conversations. After peacefully and quietly arriving to our home, the providing veterinarian offered a quick detail on what we could expect through the process. She offered us as much time as we needed and was able to answer our questions. She was quiet, patient, and moved efficiently. She was well-prepared, clean, and provided a human element of relief that we didn't know we needed. Her communication was up-front to let us know the timeline for the remains and was gentle with us throughout the entire process. Our entire family is incredibly thankful and grateful for the peace we received through one of the hardest days of our lives. I recommend Coda Pet without hesitation. If you are reading this for euthanization consideration, I am sorry for the pain you are feeling right now. Coda Pet can help make this pain one less stress for you and yoir family. Thank you, Coda Pet.
5.0Feb 07 2026 by Alicia Cleese Dr. Brandon Meadows arrived exactly on time, was thoughtful and patient, and was comforting during a tough time. Would highly recommend.
5.0Feb 03 2026 by James O. Cara ( Dr.Mitchell) could not have been more patient and compassionate and she made sure that my beloved boy’s passing was peaceful and painless and I am very grateful. If you have to go through this , you can trust that you are in good hands with her.

5.0Feb 08 2026 by Eileen Flynn Dr. Meadows was very kind and compassionate and did his best to put Masaï (my heart dog) at ease and provide us both with comfort. When it was time for him to take Masaï for his journey he gave me a few minutes with him and then was extremely respectful of both Masaï, me and my loss. I'm forever grateful for his kindness and compassion.
5.0Jul 25 2025 by Millie W. It so hard to make that decision to do what’s best when we just want keep her. Dr. Riano was amazing. So skilled at comforting Roxy and letting me know step by step what was happening because I asked. So peaceful and patient- Dr. Riano was a blessing to us both.
5.0Feb 07 2026 by Christie Olivarri To have my sweet Bubba put to sleep was one of the hardest decisions i have ever made. I called Dr.Meadows and was able to make an appointment for him to come to my home. He was so kind and took the time to get to know my dog , he talked to him while petting him and assessing him at the same time.
He was very accommodating , calm and reassuring. Nothing could have made this less painful but his kind and gentle ways made it a little easier. Thank you Dr Meadows and your sweet assistant (I'm sorry I don't remember her name)
5.0Sep 09 2025 by Kathy B. So very Thankful for Dr. Gordon! We feel very blessed that we got to say goodbye to Our Gypsy girl in the most peaceful way! Gypsy was in her home and surrounded by what she knew and loved. Dr.Gordon and Gypsy became instant friends and I truly believe Gypsy knew she was here to help her. One of the hardest days of our lives, was also a beautiful blessing.
5.0Feb 08 2026 by Stephanie Graham This was a wonderful experience for my fur baby and me. He was treated special, like family. I miss him deeply and will forget the wonderful times together 💖
5.0Feb 08 2026 by Inga Arsenault We are incredibly grateful for the care and compassion shown during one of the hardest moments of our lives. Dr. Dawn Fitzhugh came to our home and treated our pup—and us—with so much kindness, patience, and respect. She explained everything gently, never rushed us, and made an unbearable situation feel as peaceful and loving as it possibly could. Her presence truly eased our stress and allowed our pup to pass comfortably at home. We can’t thank her enough.
5.0Feb 06 2026 by Erin Trimble Dr. Meadows and his assistant were very kind and compassionate. They entered the house just as quietly as they left. So kind hearted with their condolences as my world shattered. I can't thank them enough for coming to my home when I needed a vet the most. I highly recommend Dr. Meadows should you ever need his in-house service.
5.0Nov 19 2025 by Beverly H. Dr. Sara was so kind and caring. She was patient and understanding. She recognized our need to just “be” with our sweet Jack a little while longer. She showed tons of love for Lil Jack. She gave us a safe space to “ugly cry” as we helped our sweet boy cross the rainbow bridge.
Thank you, Dr. Sara for helping make one of the most painful things we’ve ever had to do hurt just a little less with your love and compassion for “furbabies” & their humans!
Dr. Brandon Meadows was so compassionate, professional, and thorough with handling any questions and concerns. Thank you for the sympathy card as well! I’m so glad I chose CodaPet.
5.0Jan 10 2026 by Ellie A. Dr. Phillips and staff made this as easy as possible in this difficult time, with kindness, patience and true compassion. I am so glad that I chose CodaPet services.
5.0Feb 08 2026 by Karen Garner Dr. Meadows was fantastic. He showed so much compassion during a very difficult time. I recently moved to Ocala and was so happy to find Dr. Meadows as I always euthanize my animals at home if deemed necessary. I want them to feel at peace in their own surroundings. My boy Dusty was so peaceful and only felt love and no fear.
I will always use Dr. Meadows if deemed necessary for my other furry kids.
5.0Oct 15 2025 by Kelly G. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Laura. She came to our home to help us say goodbye to our 12 year old cat, and she was absolutely amazing. She explained exactly what was going to happen, was calm and professional, and so kind. She never rushed us and helped me cope through an incredibly painful moment. I’m deeply thankful for the compassion and respect she showed our cat and our family.
5.0Feb 07 2026 by Jennifer Miata Warner They were very compassionate. Just sitting on the floor guiding us during the process. They helped us deal with the fact that we did make the right decision. So warm and comforting. They were able to make time to come to our home when we needed them. They took care of all of the details for us. I would highly recommend Dr. Ayala.
5.0Feb 06 2026 by Randy Calhoun Dr. Meadows was incredibly caring, thoughtful, and compassionate. He helped make an unbearably difficult moment feel calmer and less stressful. His kindness and professionalism were evident in every step of the process. I highly recommend him—he truly went above and beyond for Benji and for us.
5.0Feb 03 2026 by Lisa S. Choosing the in home pet euthanasia option for my dear senior dog Daisy is one of the best decisions I have ever made. She went to the Rainbow Bridge without stress and comfortable, in her bed being fed yummy treats until she fell asleep after a nice sedative was given. I love my regular vets, but making a last stressful trip in to the office was not what I wanted for her or honestly, myself. Dr Lisa Littlejohn was so kind, caring, and compassionate to both Daisy and I. I give the highest recommendations to CodaPet, a sad situation was handled in the best way for my girl. Making the arrangements/scheduling was easy, great communication. Yes, this service costs more than a trip to the regular vet. If you are concerned about the fee, be advised.........WORTH. EVERY. PENNY. Thank you so very much, Dr Lisa!!!
5.0Feb 07 2026 by Julie Harris So grateful to be able to comfort our beloved Lucy at home in her final moments. Doctor arrived quickly and kindly helped prevent any unnecessary suffering and sent dear Lucy up to our Heavenly home in peace.
5.0Feb 07 2026 by Jesus Is Lord OMG. It seems impossible but Dr. Brandon made letting Jellybean go a little bit easier. Brandon and Ashley’s compassion ( and listening to stories about Jellybean made the final step less heartbreaking. Jellybean’s ashes were delivered to our home one week later by a very caring delivery person. Thanks to all of you. 😥
We recently had a beloved dog pass with the help of CodaPet. It wás very easy book the vet and the time. Dr. Cassandra Lewis contacted us through out the day reassuring us of her commitment to the time we chose and offering to answer any questions or concerns with the role she was going to serve. She was extremely professional and caring towards our pet and us . When the time occurs again, and it undoubtedly will as we have multiple pets,we will with out questions use the service again!
5.0Feb 06 2026 by Brad Haug Dr. Meadows was absolutely wonderful. He was kind, compassionate, and attentive to my kitties needs. His comfort and care made the procedure a million times more tolerable. It was quick and painless for my precious baby and I’m forever grateful Dr. Meadows was our doctor. After I scheduled, he called and offered to come right away, even in rush hour traffic. He followed up with a beautiful sympathy card which was so special to us. I highly recommend Dr. Meadows. You won’t find anyone as compassionate and kind.
5.0Jul 24 2025 by Bethy Z. Dr Meadows and his partner were incredibly kind, sensitive, and compassionate towards us and our dog Cali. As difficult and heartbreaking as it was to say goodbye, they made the process as bearable as possible. They were very patient and gentle, giving us all the time we needed in our last moments with her without feeling rushed. It gives us peace of mind knowing she was able to be comfortable at home with us in her final moments. You can tell this team truly cares about animals, and we will be forever grateful for the care they showed to us and Cali.
Dr. Meadows is a very compassionate and caring vet. Fortunately, he was able to guide me through the most difficult day. I would recommend him for any services you may need for your fur baby. Two weeks have passed since I lost my beloved Sammie, who was 20 years old. Dr. Meadows reassured me during every step of the difficult process. Please know he is a very kind and comforting person.
5.0Dec 22 2025 by Michelle A. Dr. Meadows, I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for your caring and respectful demeanor during this difficult process of letting our precious dog Bosley go. Your thoughtfulness made a significant difference to us.
Thank you 🙏🏻

5.0Dec 10 2025 by Kathy G. Dr. Elizabeth was incredible. She calmly walked us through the process and allowed questions to be asked. She gracefully stepped into the space, connected with our dear dog and assessed the different personalities in the room. This was the best way in which we could honor this difficult time and we are grateful to Dr. Elizabeth.
5.0Feb 08 2026 by Andrea White I have requested Dr. Karen Whala twice thus far ….9 more to go.
Dr. Whala DVM is personable, understanding and compassionate. She is also the Co-Founder of CodaPet.
Cats don’t get the same respect as dogs. Dr. Karen doesn’t minimize our loss. I personally feel like a fool when it comes time to euthanizing my cats.
I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Karen Whala for a reason. But when she arrives, I can come up with endless excuses to keep my cat going. I think that at this point, Dr.Whala knows that she’s treating the client, not the patient.
She gave me the option to have Kline euthanized or to continue administering pain medication to a cat that had seizures, wobbly cat syndrome and was losing his sight.
Had I chosen to squeeze more life out of Kline, it would have cost me the price of an office visit - $100.00.
I have had a lot of cats euthanized over the past 20 years. I even have injured community cats euthanized.
I can give pet owners a comparison of what it’s like to have In Home Euthanasia versus taking your cat or dog to the PetER or animal hospital.
Vets make mistakes. Dr. Karen Whala will not euthanize to euthanize. She is a second pair of eyes to look at your pet. Perhaps there’s an easy fix that was overlooked.
Pet hospitals and PetER’s are busy. Vets are hopping from one patient to the next. They may have just had to euthanize a dog and not had time to process their feelings and now they are treating a kitty ear infection.
If you are concerned about the cost to euthanize your cherished pet at home versus in home euthanasia, it’s not that much more. It’s better to grieve at home than to be sobbing uncontrollably as you are driving home.
But most importantly——is the process. Dr. Karen fully sedates your cat before she administers the final injection.
At a pet hospital, you may actually hear your cat crying out loud in pain because the vet technician is having difficulty putting the catheter in the paw. This is not a peaceful passing or dying with dignity and respect.
I highly recommend Dr. Karen Whala DVM because she is thoughtful, caring and compassionate

5.0Feb 08 2026 by France Eilers Our girl had liver cancer and after a long fight it was time to help her cross the rainbow bridge. We’re so very grateful that we went with CodaPet for our in home pet euthanasia. Though we’re very sad to see her go, we were thankful that she got to be home with us in her comfort and had a peaceful crossover. Dr.Nicole Michelli’s professionalism, empathy, and kindness in these difficult times will forever be remembered. Can’t recommend them enough if this is the unfortunate journey you find yourself in. 🫶 RIP My Pretty Kitty girl. 💕
5.0Feb 08 2026 by Cynthia De La Garza So, it has taken me some time to get around to this, but I think Brandon deserves it. This was the absolute worst experience of my life, saying goodbye to my best friend. But throughout the entirety of it Brandon was courteous, concerned, and overall caring. He made it somewhat tolerable for me, which says a lot. He gave me every minute I needed, and came at a time later than usual at my request. I know it's hard for anyone going through it, but I hope they can have someone like Brandon available to provide it. I am grateful for his service, and have absolutely no complaints. Just know that the passing of your pet can be handled with respect and grace if Brandon has anything to do with it.
