When it came time to make the decision no fur baby parent wants to make I found Coda and so glad I did. I found great peace of mind knowing there was flexible scheduling to make sure it was the right time and not just what was available. Knowing that my sweet girls last day would not be stressful from a car ride or being at the vet, she would be home, was a great comfort for us both. Dr. Houck reached out before to get some information and was so incredibly kind, friendly, helpful, and respectful. During everything she communicated everything that was and would happen and helped after with mementos. It’s hard to call one of the saddest days you’ll experience as good, but it was as good as you could hope for. I would choose Dr. Houck and having my sweet Evie pass peacefully in her home over again without question or hesitation.

This was definitely the way to give your baby wings. My dog was very afraid of the vet office, and i did not want him to be on his last day on earth. Dr Anna was on time, very loving, caring and made us all feel at ease with going forward. She even brought a treat for him, and my very usually picky dog ate it! She was amazing, and I would definitely call on her again. Thank you, Dr Anna. The Hallfrisch's.

We decided to use CodaPet when it was time for us to make that decision for our sweet 14 year old St Bernard, Fiona. It was the best thing we could have done. Dr Jason Doolittle made sure the experience was peaceful and went at a pace we were comfortable with. He explained in detail everything that would happen and was very gentle with Fiona. Thank you for providing a service that allows our fur family to go peacefully in their homes surrounded by comforting faces and love.

Saying goodbye to our beloved dachshund Lily was one of the most painful moments of our lives, but thanks to Dr. Lisa Stadler with CodaPet, it was also one of the most peaceful and compassionate. Dr. Lisa, a retired veterinarian, brought a gentle presence and deep empathy into our home—qualities that made an unbearable day a little more bearable. Her kindness and professionalism helped guide my wife and me through the process with grace and dignity. We are overwhelmingly grateful that Lily was able to pass in the comfort of her home, surrounded by the space and the things she loved most. Holding her in my arms as she went peacefully was a blessing I will never forget. The communication with CodaPet was seamless, and scheduling the appointment was simple—something I deeply appreciated during such an emotionally difficult time. I cannot recommend CodaPet and Dr. Lisa more highly. Their service was not just professional—it was personal, compassionate, and deeply respectful. Thank you for being part of Lily’s journey, and ours. You will forever hold a place in our hearts.

Dr Magnotta reached out to me on my cell phone after I made my appointment for the last time available which happened to be 1:00pm. When I told her my husband was home but I would be taking my lunch break but would be home by 1:00, She asked if I had planned to return to work, I told her I had to because I just came back from vacation the day before. Dr Magnotta offered to come later so I didn’t have to go back to work. I thought that was very thoughtful and empathetic but I don’t get out work until 5pm and I couldn’t expect her to wait till then when 1:00 was the only appointment time left. She assured me that was fine and that I shouldn’t have to go back to work after such an ordeal. I was able to finish my work day and go home and be with our Sophie before the Doctor arrived. My husband had Sophie were outside in the back yard on a small blanket near the picnic table, it was one of her favorite spots. Upon Dr Magnottas arrival she text me to tell me she was there and I met her in the driveway. From the moment she introduced herself I felt at ease. She was very sincere and caring. It was like Sophie was her own. She explained everything she was going to do before she did it. We have another younger Golden, Annabelle and Sophie was not only her best bud but was also her sister. Annabelle had no idea what was about to happen but after Dr Magnotta gave Sophie the sedative we let Annabelle come outside to be with us. Dr Magnotta was so understanding, kind and gentle to all of us. She stayed after Sophie passed from this life, took paw prints for us, patiently and graciously listened to stories about Sophie and our other animals. We are fortunate enough to be able bury Sophie on our property so no other arrangements needed to be made. Dr Magnotta was knowledgeable and gave advice to us about our other animals on flea and tick prevention. Spoke to us about the grieving process not only for us but for our other animals also. My husband and I had to put down two other dogs in our past but it was at our veterinary office and it was a totally different experience and in experiencing both sides we will always use codapet.com moving forward. Highly recommend them and Dr Magnotta.
