I can't say enough about Dr Lisa littlejohn and the service she provides. This is for all pet parents of a four-legged fur baby. I knew in my heart what had to be done but I kept wishing for a miracle. I couldn't watch my baby suffer anymore and at 90 plus pounds I couldn't pick her up to carry her out for her to do her business. Dr Lisa littlejohn came to my house we talked and cried until I was ready to say goodbye. With all the animals I have had in my life I have had occasion to meet a lot of vets. A few good ones a lot of bad ones, but I never met anybody as loving caring and gentle as her. She is indeed an angel on Earth and the world would be a much better place with more people like her in it. The loving care and respect she showed my Katie was beyond measure if it's time and you need to talk with someone contact Dr Lisa littlejohn. Brinda Whiteside
Dr. Brittany Dash and CodaPet were amazing with my sweet English Black Labrador Madison. Brittany was so gentle and caring with Madison's journey across the rainbow bridge. Madison peacefully passed with loving family surrounding her. CodaPet delivered Madison's ashes with a sweet card and presentation. Thank you for all of your Love and support Dr. Brittany Dash.
She loves animals, and showed such care for our Penny dog and us! At home euthanasia was the perfect way to respect our dog and let her pass with dignity. She gives lots of treats and interacts with your pet with you and gives time for happiness!!! Our Penny greated her at the door and was so happy interacting with Dr Jessica Mumm! It's the hardest thing to do for your loved pet, but the most unselfish thing, and Dr Jessica helps you with that. She did a great assessment lettingbus know the time was right.
Dr. Dennis was extremely compassionate and kind as she helped us say goodbye to our beloved cat. Our cat had some trouble absorbing the sedation and she was so patient and caring throughout the entire process. Highly recommend her and her services, at-home euthanasia was a much better option than stressing our cat out by putting him in a car to go to an office. He was able to pass peacefully at home where he was comfortable and surrounded by us and our other cats. Very grateful to Dr. Dennis for everything she did to help our cat pass peacefully, and to help our little family process our loss ❤️🩹
CodaPet was a great choice for our 14-year old cat's end-of-life needs. We were able to book a same-day, Saturday appointment, which was great since our old cat was starting to deteriorate quickly and we wanted euthanasia BEFORE he was experiencing pain and suffering (he'd already lost a good bit of weight). The veterinarian, Dr. Kelli Bays, was punctual, thorough in describing the steps of the procedure, professional, compassionate, and efficient. She was gentle and kind with our old cat, and allowed us to either hold him or put him in his favorite spot for his procedure. We ultimately chose their communal cremation option, and Dr. Bays took care of the delivery to the crematorium. It was such a relief NOT to make our sweet, old, dying cat ride in a car across town to a vet clinic, stressed out on his last day of life. Thank you CodaPet and Dr. Bays for the convenience and ease of home euthanasia. It's a great service and you made the experience stress free. If you are someone considering this service, CodaPet will not be a disappointing choice, but it is a business, so make sure you read the Q&A section of their website for cancelation and appointment change policies, while you are looking over their care options and memorial products.
Dr. Walton was extremely professional, caring, and humane during this difficult time with Charlie. She explained the process and gave the family as much time as needed. I highly recommend her during this very emotional time.
Dr. Courtney White came out to our office on a Monday evening to put our precious shop cat down. We all loved our Mayer but he was 14 and had recently had surgery to repair a broken hip and just wasn't recovering well from the surgery. We didn't want him to suffer and new it was time to say goodbye. Dr. White was so kind and caring and made the whole process so much easier on Mayer and on us. We highly recommend using Dr. White and CodaPet if you find yourself in a situation where you need to say goodbye to your beloved pet. It was so wonderful to allow our special guy to pass in the place he is comfortable, without having to go for a scary ride in the car, and for his people to be able to surround him in those final moments in our comfortable place, too. Thank you so much, Dr. White! -Kristy & Payton, A&H
Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald is a kind human. She was thorough in explaining what steps were needed, she was gentle and compassionate. Her calm presence was exactly what was needed, and she helped create a space for dignity and reverence our fur baby deserved.
I recently had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to my dog, and I cannot express how grateful I am for the compassion, professionalism, and support provided by Dr Angela. From the moment I reached out she was gentle, patient, and understanding of both my pet’s needs and my emotions.
I knew that my Chloe was in her last days. I felt it in my gut. I did not want to take her to the vet to give her final treatment because of my 1st experience with my Zack years prior. I just remembered feeling rushed, and just empty and cold. And then feeling regret for many months afterward. So I told myself I wouldn’t take my dog to be put down ever again. However, my friend told me about in home euthanasia. Though I was still very nervous, it sounded like the best option for me and my Chloe. I was given a good referral for CodaPet and went on their website. Scheduling the appointment was seamless, and I appreciate the transparency of the pricing. I am forever thankful that I met Dr. Daniela Lutri. She spoke with so much compassion, empathy and validation through the entire process. She spoke to me about each step to be taken and what each injection was, and what to expect in Chloe’s reaction. She took her time to get to know Chloe, her history and how she came to us. She truly humanized my Chloe, and provided a heart warming presence, all the way through. Dr. Daniela was truly an Angel and Godsend: helping my Chloe cross the rainbow bridge. 🙏🏽❤️thank you, Dr. Daniela.
We put our cat down at home a few weeks ago. The Dr was very caring and kind. She allowed space for my kids to process how they needed. She let them gather around however they wanted. She walked us through each step of the way. I highly recommend.
Dr Thomas was very professional and caring. She definitely made our loss a little easier. I highly recommend her to anyone who is facing the hard decision of sending their pet over the rainbow bridge.
Dr. Nicole was so nice and compassionate as we had to say goodbye to our boy. We could not have ask for a better soul to help my boy out of his pain. Very thankful for her!! The world needs more Dr. Nicoles. Karen Ghezawi - Omar's mom
Dr Loughmiller was so wonderful during such a hard time. Thoughtful and professional and made sure our sweet storm was surrounded by love. I can’t thank her enough!
I think God knew I needed someone as caring and understanding as Dr. Harper to help me through my ginger’s passing so when Dr. Harper came it was truly a blessing to have her be with us. It was just me and Ginger at home together and Dr. Harper brought so much warmth and love that I didn’t feel as scared and alone as I did before. I was feeling so guilty for making this choice and she helped me through a lot of those emotions. I didn’t know what to expect about this process and she was so good to me and good to ginger. I’m forever thankful Dr. Harper was the one who knocked on my door when it was time for me to say goodbye to my best friend.
So caring and supportive during our difficult time. Dr. Mumm we thank you for your caring support you gave us when we had to say goodbye to our beautiful Chy.
As gut-wrenching as it is to lose a pet, making the arrangements and the final appointment were stress-free. When Dr. Pugh arrived at our home, she took her shoes off, put her bag on the coffee table, then got down on the floor with Raven (our 14 year old dog) to get to know her a bit. Dr. Pugh was soft-spoken while keeping us informed ... choosing her words wisely and precisely. Once Raven was at peace, I was able to assist Dr. Pugh in getting Raven to the car. You know when the time has come. Don't second-guess yourself, go online with CodaPet. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to get Dr. Kristina Pugh!
100% recommend Dr. Murray. On such a hard day for our family, he was very understanding, comforting and communicative both before and during the appointment. He was able to make our cat's passing as comfortable as possible. We are so grateful we were able to have this procedure done at home without the typical going-to-the-vet stress.
She's the best possible person for this hard, sad situation. Her calm demeanor and willingness to not hurry you through the process was amazing. I was so happy that she cared so much about a dog and a family she didn't know. Amazing is the best word.
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)
In home pet Euthanasia: This is a very hard review to write because it is about our personal loss of our beloved pet Lucy. Lucy's decline was very sudden and unexpected. While she was 14 years old she was very energenic and still got the zoomies once in awhile. Within a few minutes of coming back from her routine walk, she collapsed. She was diagnosed with Vestibular syndrome (inner/middle ear) and was expected to improve within 24-48 hours, but she did not. When we made the decision that it was time to say goodbye, we wanted to do it at home. We wanted her to be comfortable and surrounded by her loved ones. We didn't want to put her through anymore distress of driving her somewhere. Afterall, how many pets are excited to go to the vet?! We found Dr. Karen Duncan and she could not have been anymore caring and compassionate towards us and Lucy. She also evaluated Lucy to validate we were making the right decision. She explained everything to us and took her time. We did not feel rushed whatsoever. She took care of everything. While it is not a decision anyone likes to make, we would encourage others when that time comes to consider In-Home-Pet-Euthanasia. Be there for your pet in their loving surroundings.
Making the decision to put my best buddy Ace down was one of the hardest decisions I've had to make. Dr Amanda Harper made the experience so special and dignified. She was so kind and gentle. She handled Ace with ease and such care as if he was her family. What touched me most was when she prayed over him. I have told all my family and friends about my experience. I would recommend Dr Harper and CODA to anyone in the situation of having to emphasize a family pet.
Having Dr Wasmoen come to our home for our sweet Sophie was a godsend! She was so calming. It allowed Sophie the comfort of being in a place she knew, it allowed my children to be there to say goodbye. It also allowed my other dogs to say goodbye as well. I would recommend CodaPet a million times over!
My experience with Dr. Cassandra Lewis went way beyond my expectations. I contacted CodaPet to find a vet that would perform in home pet euthanasia. Ivy, our 16 year old kitty had stopped eating and drinking and was telling us it was time for her to go. Her behaviors changed over the course of a few weeks. She became very snuggly and demanding attention at times, but she also hid and seemed disoriented. As much as my heart didn't want to make the call, I contacted CodaPet to set up an appointment. I had heard of this service before and I really wanted to find someone to come to our home because Ivy hated going to the vet. I didn't want that to be her last time with us. The woman I spoke to at CodaPet (don't have her name) was very kind and helpful. I received emails and texts prior to the day that explained the process, and was encouraged to reach out with any questions. They made sure I knew that I could also cancel the appointment if I changed my decision. Dr. Lewis is very compassionate and truly cares about people and their pets. She made the process as easy as it could be. She explained everything she was doing and made sure we were okay with everything that was happening. I chose to have Ivy on my lap where she was most comfortable. She was already very tired and had slept the entire day. Ivy was given one dose to relax her (like an anesthesia) and then after 10-15 or so, another dose to stop her heart. Just a few minutes after the second dose she was gone. I am so thankful I could have her on my lap to cuddle her and talk to her during the whole process. Dr. Lewis asked if we wanted a paw print and some fur to keep. We saved some fur and she put some in two small containers for us. We also had the option for Dr. Lewis to take Ivy with her for cremation but we opted to keep Ivy and take car of her ourselves. I highly recommend CodaPet and Dr. Lewis. I'd give her 50 stars if I could!
Dr. Jessica was prompt, very sweet, empathetic, patient, accommodating and professional. She helped everyone feel at ease with our decision and the process. As a result, our best most handsome boy Buddy passed peacefully and without any stress or anxiety save for the profound sadness felt by those of us who loved him.
Dr Murray did a great job to help say good bye to Bernie the wonder dog. He was 13 years old and just got very sick couldn't eat or drink or walk. Dr Murray helped him die at home which was greatfor.Bernie and us ...j am grateful Shellee pollard
Dr. Michelle Vosburg is an Earth Angel, and I do not say that lightly. From the moment she walked through my door, I knew she was more than "just a vet". As soon as she looked at me, she began to weep. She is a true Empath and felt my breaking heart. She sat on the floor with me, holding my hand and Maggy's paw as she listened to how I had rescued Maggy and how Maggy had rescued me. We both cried and she loved on us both. Dr. Vosburg helped me give Maggy a beautiful walk to the Rainbow Bridge. Being able to help Maggy cross here at home helped more than words could ever describe. I truly love Dr. Vosburg, and again, she's an Earth Angel; I highly recommend her to help other humans assist their pets in crossing over.
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
Dr Katie Todd was such a professional about everything. I don’t want to get all wordy and emotional on here, but I cannot thank Dr Todd enough for her kindness, compassion, and explanation of what to expect. Thank you Dr Todd.
Dr Chapman was kind, considerate and very caring. She helped make my dogs peaceful transition over the bridge with compassion. Thank you Dr Chapman
this was our second time using Dr Whala , she again performed a mostly loving goodbye , i appreciate her soft spoken ways and compassion for us whole going through this most difficult time . we appreciate her so much .
Dr. Clem was kind, compassionate, and patient, as we had to euthanize both of our dogs. It was hard letting them go, but it was peaceful and they were at home. They weren’t scared or anxious, like they would have been if they were in a veterinarian’s office. I am thankful for what Dr. Clem allowed us to have with our two dogs.
Dr.Phillips was just wonderful and helped us through a really difficult time. She was very compassionate and was very focused on helping us understand the process of letting our sweet cat go. She gave us space to grieve and had so many suggestions and ideas for memory keeping. We are thankful we found her! Highly recommended.
Dr Dzierga was so special. She was kind and caring. She took special care of our precious Molly, plying her with treats and affection. She was respectful of our loss. I will always call on her, at our home, to preform this special service. We miss Molly but know she is in a better place.
Dr. Gardhouse was very kind and compassionate throughout the entire process. Nothing could have made the day easier, but Dr. Gardhouse gave us all the time that we needed and to say our goodbyes and walked us through every step. We felt relieved knowing our Uno passed surrounded at home with a big belly full of salmon, surrounded by her loved ones and without pain.
When we knew it was time to say goodbye to our beloved Stella, we wanted her final moments to be filled with love, comfort, and peace. Thanks to CodaPet and Dr. Courtney White, we were able to give her exactly that. On a beautiful summer evening in our backyard, surrounded by our entire family, we said goodbye to Stella. Dr. White arrived with a calming presence and gently walked us through each step of the process. Her kindness and professionalism were deeply comforting during such a painful time. Though our hearts were breaking, Stella’s passing was peaceful and serene; accompanied by the sounds of our voices, birds singing, and neighbors kids playing nearby. After Stella passed, Dr. White gave us as much time as we needed with her, and when we were ready, she gently took our girl into her care. A few days later, Dr. White personally returned Stella’s ashes to our home, bringing a sense of closure and deep gratitude. We are forever thankful for Dr. White’s compassion, calm demeanor, and the respectful way she guided us through one of the hardest moments of our lives. Saying goodbye is never easy, but with Dr. White, Stella’s passing was as beautiful as her life.
I am so thankful for Dr. Ann Gonnering. She was able to help our family through one of the hardest days as we lost our cat Sir. Dr. Gonnering was kind enough to meet us exactly where we were, which was laying in bed surrounding sir. She sat on our bed and explained the procedure in detail, allowed for questions, and was patient. She was very calm and reassuring and allowed us to move at the pace we felt comfortable with. Sir passed very peacefully and with dignity and I will never be able to say thank you enough for that. I can’t imagine ever having to go through this at a vets office. Dr. Ann Gonnering was very communicative and kind throughout the whole process. All of the details were coordinated by them which helped make the process easier. The crematorium they used was incredible - a very loving family that runs the business. THANK YOU!
Dr. Alexander was very kind and patient. She helped us with our sweet dogs passing. Being with him in his last moments was peaceful and dignified. I liked how we could reschedule on the app conveniently when our pets condition changed. We would highly recommended Dr. Alexander and CodaPet. Thank you.
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. ❤️
Dr. Karen Whala was amazing, she was kind, gentle, and soft-spoken. Cared about my sweet cat and myself very much. Having this in-home pet euthanasia instead of going to a Veterinarian’s office was so comforting.
I can't say enough good things about Dr Larsen. She made the passing of Fiona very peaceful , not only for our sweet cat, but also for me and my husband. I am so glad we found her to help with this final decision.
Dr. Sarah was/is wonderful. She was both professional and kind, when we had to say goodbye to our beloved Petey. I can't recommend her enough.
Dr. Roberts was awesome with Rosie and my family. So very glad I chose to have Rosie at home for her crossing over the “rainbow bridge”.
Dr Peek was great! We had to put down our 11.5 year old Great Dane and decided to try this in home service. It was the best way to go through this hard process. Our dog was able to lie on his bed with all of us around. It was very peaceful. I highly recommend this service.

Dr. Jennifer Holman is exactly the kind of person you want assisting you with your loved ones transition. She is gentle, open, peaceful, and caring. She goes with the energy of your pet, your home, your family, and you. She cares for your pets dignity and earns your trust instantly. I miss my Penny girl dearly and terribly, but Dr. Holman provided the best passing one could dream of. She made me comfortable with the hardest decision I’ll ever make, and she took her time with me and Penny as we said our goodbyes. This is a very delicate time, and you need a delicate person like Jennifer. May Penny rest in peace, and may God send Jennifer to every home that needs her. A lovely soul to send off my sweet Penny’s soul.
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.
Dr. Amy was incredibly sweet and kind throughout the entire process and let us take our time when we needed it. She provided a paw print impression for us which we now treasure
I have never been through having a pet passing away at home.Dr. Briell Is the most wonderful, Caring, considerate and compassionate Dr I have ever met. She came to the house to help with ziva, She couldn’t have been kinder as if it was her own cat. She treated Ziva with love and compassion. She made sure that Ziva was comfortable. She never rushed us. She even had our other cat come in to see what was going on. In our time of grieving, Ziva couldn’t have been taken care of By anybody better. She made the process absolutely bearable. She knew that my husband had passed away recently and on her way with Ziva ( my husbands favorite) she saw a rainbow and texted me to say that she’s going over the rainbow bridge and John was welcoming her. It meant the world to me . Thank you, you truly are amazing. ❤️
Dr. Sarah Crozier was absolutely incredible. My pup had terminal mammary cancer and had stopped being able to sit or lay down for comfort, and I made the terribly difficult decision to put her down. Dr. Crozier called me before my appointment date to get an understanding of my dog, and gave me time to ask any questions or air any concerns. When she arrived for our appointment time, she had a calm kind presence, and my pup immediately trusted her. She was so very kind through the whole process, moving at a pace I was comfortable with, and being so kind and friendly to my pup. She even had my sweet girl excited and happy for the treats her sedatives were hidden in. She asked questions about who my dog was and some of our very best memories, and she allowed me the honor of my dog passing peacefully in my lap, knowing she was loved and never knowing anything was wrong. She allowed me to assist in cleaning her up before leaving with her, and let me take all the time I needed saying goodbye. Losing my dog was more difficult than I could explain, but having Dr. Crozier to make the experience so gentle on my pup and I meant the world to me. She afforded us a beautiful last few minutes together, and made a horrible event so much better with her kindness, knowledge, and heart. Hugely and forever thankful for Dr. Crozier and her work.
Dr. Perzak was such a blessing to our family as we had to put our dog down. Her kindness and gentleness with our dog were a comfort and she handled the entire process incredibly from coordinating the details ahead of time to everything the day of. We cannot thank her enough!
Dr. Keri Wasnoen is an angel on earth. She made, what could of been a horrible experience, into a beautiful and compassionate one. Choosing in home euthanasia was an easy decision but choosing a company was difficult. I would choose CodaPet again for their thoughtfulness and communication. They were with us every step of the way, from the time we made the appointment to after the passing. I knew from the moment Dr. Wasmoen arrived we were in good hands. She was so patient, loving and kind. She explained everything and told us what to expect. I knew our precious kitty was going to feel nothing but love. Thank you so very much for your continued love and support Derek and Bari Brouillet
When my vet gently hinted that my furbaby did not have much time left, it was hard to swallow, but I knew that I needed to educate myself about how to keep him comfortable and how to give him the love he deserves. CodaPet was one of the options suggested, and as devastating as this has been for me, choosing this option has brought me some peace. I didn’t want my furbaby to be cold and scared and surrounded by unfamiliar smells and in pain. No. When the vet told me that it was time, we did it the right way. We were able to be home, filling him with love and attention and snuggles on his favorite beanbag. He wasn’t afraid or in pain. It was very gentle, and Dr. Perzak is an angel.
"The absolute worst day was maybe a little better thanks to Dr. Dennis." I've never had to decide to ease my pet's pain and suffering. Let alone for my dog Sassy, who introduced me to my wife and helped us build such a beautiful life and family together. I was back and forth with the decision, but finally got enough courage to make the call to help my friend move on to her next part of life. Dr. Natalie Dennis was absolutely heaven-sent during this decision I had to make. The actual procedure was great, and Sassy was comfortable and was able to pass with dignity and grace in the comfort of her home. The most important thing that needs to be highlighted is the care Dr. Dennis provided me and the family. It felt like welcoming a friend into our home. She was caring and thoughtful and asked to hear stories about Sassy's life. It wasn't an easy decision, but I expected my friend to be taken care of, I didn't expect me and my family to be taken care of and supported in the way she did. A thousand thank yous to Dr. Dennis, truly an angel.
Dr. Meiners was just wonderful. She came to our home to put our kitty, Socks, to sleep. He had stopped eating, and stopped urinating. He was very sick. We had adopted him 5 months earlier, he had been in a shelter for 2 years prior. He was 10 years old. He had been described as skittish, but he had gotten more towards feral at the shelter. We were never able to pet him, but he was very sweet and was making progress, albeit slowly. We could not take him to the vet as we could not touch him. Dr. Meiners was exceedingly kind and patient and was able to do what had to be done. It was a sad day, we loved our little Socks kitty. Dr. Meiners was just exactly the right person in a delicate situation. We were lucky to have her here that day. Linda and John Kensey
We are so grateful for the compassionate care we received during such a difficult time. Dr. Lori Thomas was—wonderful, so kind, patient and understanding. She brought her own treats to help make our pet feel comfortable, and she gave us all the time and space we needed to say goodbye in our own way. She handled everything gently with great respect. It truly felt like our pet was treated with love and dignity we couldn’t have asked for a better person to help us through this moment.
Thank you for all the help with our boy gru. Dr Pruett is very caring. She explained to us the process and what to expect. Our boy passed away peacefully at the comfort our home and around the people that loved him very much. It is not easy to have our baby leave but Dr Pruett helped us from the beginning until the end. We are very grateful for everything to make it easier for us. Thank you!
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.
Dr Daniela was kind, respectful and very professional. She made sure our Thulu girl had a dignified crossing. The Dr was patient and empathetic through out the whole process, this was really tough decision but having the Dr in our corner was incredibly helpful and comforting. My girl passed without any pain, a comfortable sleep next to all her friends and family. Thank you Dr, we really appreciate your help, time, compassion and we couldn't ask for anything more.
Dr. Lane was wonderful. He reached out to us to confirm the appointment and ask any questions. When he arrived he was so thoughtful in how he approached the appointment and explained everything and gave us the space to say goodbye to our sweet cat. He is wonderful and the service was great and I would highly recommend to my friends. Thank you!
Dr. Alexandra came out to our house to help us through a really tough decision we had to make which was to let our Lilly girl of 13 years go in peace. I can’t say enough about how grateful we are to have had Dr. Alexandra be the one who came out. She was so kind and explained everything and our Lilly girl didn’t feel anything she just went to sleep. A few weeks later I got a package in the mail from Dr. Alexandra and it had a poem called the rainbow bridge and a beautiful sun-catcher with Lillys name on it. She is a very caring person and we are so pleased she was there to help us through that difficult time.
Dr Gary was amazing. He offered to come early, which since it was clear our baby was suffering, we took him up on. He was so kind and thoughtful, and this week, offered to meet me with his pawprint closer to our home. If we end up in this situation again (hopefully we won't anytime soon, since ours are too young yet!), we will definitely reach out and highly recommend him to anyone else in a similar situation!
Deciding to use Codapet and Dr. Lisa Littlejohn 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.
Dr. Lowman was so kind and very professional. She was patient and clearly communicated the whole process. She made a very difficult day the best it could be. Highly recommend.
Dr. Lisa did an amazing job with not only Jaxs but with the family as well. Lisa had actually been with Jaxs from the beginning, she took care of him as a pup so no one better than for her to be there when it was time for him to be put to rest. We were able to take Jaxs to his favorite sunning place amongst the grapevines. Lisa told us exactly was she what she was going to do every step of the way. Thanks again Lisa for making this process a little easier for our family!❤️
Dr. Danielle was just what our boy needed in his final hours. Her attention to comfort and care for our boy Gabe, made his crossing over at home a gentle experience rather than one of stress, anxiety and unfamiliarity. The entire family( 3 generations) we able to surround and swaddle our boy in his final time with us.❤️
I had to put my husband‘s cat to sleep today I couldn’t have asked for more thoughtful, caring, considerate, and compassionate Doctor Brielle. She was understanding and treated Ziva like it was her own. She took her time, explained everything. It was a very hard decision to make, but she made it possible with love. She took her time to make sure Ziva was comfortable. She even brought my other cat Jethro in to make sure he was aware of what was going on. She knew that my husband had just passed away and when she took Ziva to her final resting place, she saw a rainbow and texted me saying that Ziva went over the rainbow and John was waiting to greet her and welcome her home. That meant the world to me . Such a compassionate dr. Thank you for being who you are…. AMAZING
Dr Alicia Nolfi was amazing. She was compassionate and patient, and extremely sensitive to what we were going through. She explained the process in detail and kept us informed every step of the way. We highly recommend her to anyone needing her services in the Roaring Fork or Crystal River valleys.
Jessica was such a gentle and reassuring presence during our entire appointment. She explained every step as we went, answered any questions I had, and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye to our girl. I will forever be grateful for Dr. Pruitt!
Dr. Kelly was so nice and amazing! She peacefully let Seraphina my cat go. I was there with her and I made a very brave decision. Thank you for taking good care of my sweet baby for the very end! Highly recommend!
Dr.Sara was so kind and comforting during our visit. She really made the process a little easier to deal with. I will definitely use her again when the time comes for my other fur baby to go meet her sister on the rainbow bridge.
After our senior cat suddenly became ill, we made the difficult decision to euthanize her. Dr. Cassandra came out to our house after our small children had gone to bed. She was so wonderful throughout the process, she reached out to me beforehand to see if I had an questions. When she arrived, she was so kind and compassionate, walking us through the process and re-affirming our decision was the right one to end the suffering for our cat. She took her time, explained everything she was doing and what we could expect as she gave the medications and allowed us time alone with our cat. She also wrapped our cat in a blanket and basket after the process was over. She was such a beacon of light through a dark period of grief. I can't say enough kind words about her and our experience with CodaPet.
Dr. Duvall brought her care and experience to help me on a very difficult day. As a retired vet tech, I have been involved in many euthanasias. For me and my boy, Dr. Duvall's combination of technique and appropriate amount of caring conversation made this the smoothest transition I have ever been involved in. I highly recommend her when it's time to consider at-home end of life services.
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.
Dr. Brielle Dzierga was absolutely amazing during a very sad and traumatic time for our family. Losing our precious Marley was extremely scary and painful. Dr. Brielle was very professional and patient during the process. She took time to explain the process so that we knew exactly what to expect. She comforted us and gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye. Dr. Brielle hugged us many times before she left with our precious Marley. I highly recommend Dr. Brielle Dzierga to help your pet cross the Rainbow Bridge.
Dr. Alexander and the CodaPet service was incredible. I was able to get a same day appointment and Dr. Alexander was very caring and professional through the whole process. Everything was seamless and it allowed me to stress less and focus more on grieving the loss of my pet. Can’t recommend Dr. Alexander and CodaPet enough. Thank you!
August 17th was a really hard day. It was Sunday, and my boy Gus had been to the vet that Friday because he was acting just a little off. By Saturday at 1:00 we got the news - late stage advanced renal failure, so in order to feel productive and push aside my emotions for the time being, I scheduled an in home euthanasia for Monday afternoon. I stayed up with him all night, and by 6:00am I knew that trying to hold on until Monday afternoon was no longer the right choice. His condition advanced so rapidly that the thought of moving him and taking him somewhere just felt out of the question - I wasn't sure he could even survive being transported, and for a boy that loved his Vet office so much, I could not bear moving him and taking him some place unfamiliar. After hours of calls, emails, inquiries, Dr. Martin swooped in - he actually doesn't live far from us, and he was able to come around 11:30am. By 12:00pm my boy was gone. It was devastating, it was kind, it was everything that my boy deserved. And, when his remains were ready to come home, Dr. Martin delivered to us so we did not have to go pick him up. It was a gut wrenching, but incredible experience, and has inspired me to look into training to be a Certified Animal Hospice Practitioner so that I can help other families through their experience. I will be forever grateful.
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.
It was so very hard to have to decide to euthanize my seriously ill dog, who was a friend I had for 12 years. I am so grateful for how it was handled by CodaPet and the excellent veterinarian, Dr. Dover, who came to my home. She had thoughtfully answered my questions when I made the appointment. She even was able to come earlier than scheduled when my dog took a sudden turn for the worse. Every detail of the process was carefully thought out and explained to me.
We had to say goodbye to our pup Leo, who we had for 16 years, and it was one of the most painful things I ever had to do. Leo had advanced kidney disease and his health quickly deteriorated. We had scheduled a Coda Appointment with Dr. Derecka Alexander for a Tuesday, but Leo’s health took a turn for the worse on a Sunday. I emailed Coda Pet to ask if there was any possibility any Vet could come out sooner. Dr. Alexander immediately contacted me and made herself available in our time of need. We were so appreciative of Dr. Alexander’s compassion and kindness in helping our beloved pup Leo cross over the rainbow bridge, especially after it became urgent. She made a very difficult experience of us having to say goodbye to our pup more manageable. We chose to get a Vet to come to our home for our final goodbye to our Leo because we wanted him to be surrounded by the warmth of our love, the comfort of his family, and the smells and sounds he has always known. I wanted his last memories to be of us — his family — holding him, kissing him, thanking him. Thank you, Dr. Alexander, for allowing us to provide that to our pup Leo.
Our first contact with CODAPET and subsequent interaction with Dr. Jackson was a phenomenal experience under very stressful circumstances. Dr. Jackson respectfully and patiently explained things and answered our questions. Dr. Jackson was compassionate, caring and calming, towards us and our Sheba. We thank Dr. Jackson and will never forget him.
