She was quiet, and so kind. I was full of my broken heart. The following week I received a hand written card and the most beautiful glass rainbow beaded window charm. With Shylos name etched on a heart. It hangs in my kitchen window. He's buried right outside that window. His favorite spot.

Dr. Tom provided the most compassionate and respectful care we could have hoped for. Saying goodbye to our dog, Heidi, was incredibly sad, but having it happen at home, in a calm and familiar space, made all the difference. Dr. Tom was patient, gentle, and thorough in explaining every step of the process. He never rushed us and made sure Heidi was comfortable and peaceful throughout. His presence was steady and kind, and it was clear he truly cares about both his patients and the families who love them. He also took time to offer thoughtful guidance and reassurance about how our other dog, Mac, might experience the loss and how we could best support him through the transition. That extra care for our whole family meant more than he probably knows. We are deeply grateful for the dignity and compassion he showed Heidi and for the way he supported us through such a difficult decision. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Tom to anyone needing in-home euthanasia for their pet. His care brought comfort when we needed it most.

Dr Jones was able to come and help with our sweet Max. It was devastating to have to let him go but Dr Jones did an amazing job caring for him and helping us get through such a heart-breaking day. Our Max, went so peacefully and was taken care of by Dr Jones and Fond Memories afterwards. We will always be grateful that Max was able to go over the Rainbow Bridge surrounded by those that loved him so deeply.

Dr. Angela was amazing. The decision to let a family member that had been with us for fourteen years was devastating to my family. Dr. Angela was warm, compassionate, kind, and had all the empathy in the world for my family and me. I recommend this service with the highest recommendation. It was so more intimate and peaceful than when we’ve had to let other pets go at the vets office. Thank you, Dr. Angela, for making a terrible day just a little bit better

We are deeply thankful to Dr. Shannon Nakaya for the care and compassion she showed during our beloved dog Giggsy’s final moments. Saying goodbye was an incredibly painful decision and a very difficult day for us, but her kindness, patience, and gentle approach helped ease the burden. Dr. Nakaya guided us through the process with understanding and treated Giggsy with such tenderness and respect. Her compassion and professionalism truly made all the difference during this heartbreaking time.

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.
