Dr. Jen was so kind. It was so hard for us to have to say goodbye to our sweet little Russell but she was very caring and patient. We chose cremation and we got him back in about a week. The options of urns was nice and we received a very sweet card from Dr. Jen. I would definitely recommend Dr. Jen with CodaPet to care of you.

We unfortunately had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to our 17-year-old dog, Rosy. When Dr. Sarah Warren arrived, she immediately embraced my parents with a hug as if she were an old friend. From the moment she came to Rosy and me, she gave off such a calm, loving, and comforting presence that even in one of the most painful moments of our lives, she brought us peace. She explained the entire process with such respect, compassion, and clarity. She climbed onto the bed with Rosy and me, gently gave her sedation, pet her, talked to her, and comforted not only us, but Rosy too. Rosy was my baby, and seeing how much genuine love and care Dr. Sarah had for her was incredibly heartwarming. You can truly see and feel how deeply she loves animals. She gave us all the time in the world to say goodbye and allowed me to make every decision about the next steps when I was ready. She made an unbearable moment just a little bit easier, and for that, I will never be able to thank her enough. Without me even needing to say the words, she understood when I was ready to say goodbye to my baby forever and comforted me through the hardest moment of my life. I am so thankful that she was the one there during Rosy’s final moments. She will forever have a special place in all our hearts for the work she does and the kindness she showed Rosy and us. She allowed us to carry my baby into the box and out to the car ourselves. The next morning, I decided I wanted to do a witness cremation. I immediately texted Dr. Sarah and received a reply within minutes. She personally helped place a hold on Rosy and even called and emailed the crematorium herself to ensure everything would be arranged. I was drowning in grief, yet she took that burden into her own hands and helped make it possible for me to see Rosy one last time before cremation. Because of Dr. Sarah, I was able to create more keepsakes and have a witness cremation a few days later. I truly cannot find the words to express how much that meant to me. Thank you, Dr. Sarah, from the bottom of my heart for treating Rosy and us with so much love and kindness. 🤍

Dr Vernon was great! We knew it was time to say goodbye, but she took time to discuss the situation and confirmed we were correct, in our assessment of our girl. She allowed us time and didn't rush the process. She also explained everything we needed to know, along the way. Thank you, for making that really hard day a little easier. Brendan and Andrea Austin Peoria, AZ

She was very sweet with our children and allowed them time to say goodbye, and then gave each of them a clipping of fur in a little bag. She was patient and gave us space. We were really grateful to have her in our home walking us through the process.
