It’s so difficult to say goodbye to fur baby because they are a child to you. Selfishly, we just want to hang on to them as long as possible. A good friend recently told us about in home euthanasia when our little Gus, a 16 year Shih Tzu, wasn’t feeling well. I look back at his quality of life the past year. The reality was, we were holding on to him for ourselves. We decided to go with Codapet, Dr. Laura Smith who was recommended to us. What a gut wrenching experience to put your baby to rest. Despite how horrible, we know we did the right thing for Gus. Dr. Laura was professional, empathetic and took care of all the details so we could just focus on our goodbye. In the comfort of his favorite spot, in my arms I held him so tight, kissing him and telling him how much I loved him. He fell asleep like that. He was loved and comfortable. I could not think of a better way to say goodbye, as sad and heartbroken as we are. Please consider do this for your beloved pet, it’s so worth it.

I have known Dr.Thomas for a long time, and I was so relieved to know she would be there during such a difficult moment. Having her with us for my cat's in-home euthanasia brought me so much comfort. She clearly explained the entire process beforehand and was deeply present and calm throughout. She brought special treats for my kitty, that she enjoyed during her last moments, and also gave treats to my dog who was present as well. Her kindness and care meant so much to us, more than I could ever express. Thank you so much Dr.Thomas 💓

Dr. Magnotta was wonderful. She was able to take a difficult time and treat it with dignity and compassion. I’m tremendously thankful for all of her kindness and help during this time.

Best decision ever. While my heart is broken, this option of a kind, gentle passing in our home, with no anxiety for my sweet girl was a blessing for both of us. Dr. Gibson was so sweet and compassionate. It is obvious she was born to do exactly this. Her respect for my baby was so comforting. I won't ever go a different route again.

The team at CodaPet made all the difference in the world. The process was smooth and they were readily available to answer any questions. Dr. Katie Simpson was so considerate, gentle, and kind. She and her team made what was a very hard day a little bit better.
