Dr. Jackson came to us on fairly short notice. He was soft spoken, supportive and gave our dog a comfortable and dignified passing in our home. What a blessing it was to have him come and let our dog pass in the place he has been so well loved. I can’t recommend this service enough.

It was wonderful to have Dr Clem because she cared for him during his life. She's so kind, understanding and empathetic. We appreciated her care for our boy and us, too.

Deciding to use Codapet and Dr. Lisa was the best decision we could have made. Dr. Lisa was incredibly kind and compassionate every step of the process. From the moment Dr. Lisa walked into our home, we felt at peace. She explained every step, was in every moment with us and even cried with us. Dr. Lisa was so thoughtful throughout the process as well. Bringing snacks and yummy chocolates for our boy Tango’s last treats. Dr Lisa’s routine is so carefully thought out for the comfort of our pet and for us. The very last step was walking out to her car for Tango’s final ride. Dr. Lisa’s thoughtful act of kindness had her car beautifully set up with flowers. She encouraged one last final goodbye kiss to our boy Tango then gave us the BIGGEST HUGS ever. For such a terrible occasion, Dr. Lisa made it possible for us to get through it all. I have already given out Dr. Lisa’s info and will continue to do so. Can not recommend a better person for this. I sure hope Dr. Lisa is still practicing this act of kindness when it’s our boy Milo’s turn. Thank You Dr. Lisa for the Best experience for us saying goodbye to Tango. So much love and appreciation, Jamie and Andrea.

t’s taken me a while to write this review because of how traumatic this experience was for everyone in my household. I elected to use Coda Pet for my dogs end of life services and I will regret that decision for the rest of my life. This is the uber eats of your dogs end of life services. Do better than me, and really research who you’re going with. A couple good reviews aren’t going to cut it in this situation. Dr Meadows was who our assigned doctor was, and he maybe said 5 words during the entire exchange. He comes in, doesn’t make my dogs feel comfortable at all. Or me for that matter! No communication at all. For example I have one dog who barks at people when they walk in, this was known. She never barks for this long at someone, but she just didn’t like his energy, and never relaxed, and I’ll say she wasn’t wrong for that. The entire process felt rushed. My dog who was being put down, was excited to see him, but no love was exchanged. Just “okay sit down, I have to put this needle in” literally. That’s pretty much what he said. My dog didn’t react well to the sedative. This is when the trauma really started. She yelped in pain, her heart immediately racing. She started running around the kitchen, losing her ability to walk. She was scared, heart racing, and it was truly my worst nightmare. The “Dr” sat on his butt on the floor for the ENTIRETY of this happening. Like isn’t this his actual practice?! Why am I the only one trying to console my poor, terrified dog alone? I was the one who had to pick her up and lay her on the bed and literally beg for euthanasia because of how scared she was. And her heart was racing so so badly. Eventually he got off his ass to administer it, and I said goodbye to her in such a horrible way. When it was time for her to be taken out, he got an assistant, who said she was so sorry, but the Dr himself said not one word. Nothing. I was promised compassion from this company, I did not receive it. I was promised dignity for my pet. She did not receive it. I feel robbed. Of a peaceful passing for my baby girl. I feel overcharged for such a disgusting experience. The only people who showed kindness here was the cremation company that they passed her on to. Coda pet would receive negative stars from me if they could. I called a couple days later to express my disgust, and never heard back. But I guess that’s to be expected from the uber eats of pet euthanasia services. No like literally, my dog was taken out in a jeep. Not a “coda pet” official van or anything. Not even dignity there. Needless to say, this is one of the most traumatic things that has ever happened to me and my best friend. I have to find ways to reduce the guilt I have from choosing this company, and I don’t know if I ever can. Book elsewhere, this place should not get any of your money. And do not let them anywhere near your babies.

Heather was so understanding and prepared for our loss. She truly made the experience as comfortable as it could have possibly been. I really appreciate that we had such care in such a hard time

We are so grateful for the kindness and compassion shown during such a difficult time. The doctor was incredibly sweet and gentle with every step of the process, and I would highly recommend her to anyone facing this heartbreaking decision. After the procedure, she placed our little dog in a cozy bed and wrapped her lovingly in a blanket, which meant so much to us. Thank you for making this painful moment a little more bearable with your care and thoughtfulness. ❤️
