Dr Adarraga was incredibly kind and compassionate when it came time to say goodbye to our pet. He arrived exactly on time, had a quiet calming approach, did not rush but gave the time we needed to say goodbye. He explained everything carefully and calmly, and answered every question honestly and compassionately. It was really nice that at the end we didn’t have to pull out a check or credit card; payment had already been arranged so it wasn’t something we had to worry about while grieving. I am grateful to Dr. Adarraga and recommend him very highly.

Dr. Gary was compassionate, informative, and patient during this highly emotional and difficult time. We are grateful for the care he gave us.

Dr. Matthew Schaefer with CodaPet made our in home euthanasia for our sweet 16 year old cat as peaceful as possible. It is never an easy thing to do but having it done at home and in your pets favorite spot is so much better than having to take them on a car ride and to the vet. It truly is a blessing to be able to bring the vet to your pet if you can. Dr. Schaefer was very kind and I couldn’t have asked for a better vet.

Dr. Josh couldn’t be more loving and compassionate caring for my sweet Katie during her last hours here, not to mention his compassion he afforded me in my time of extreme grief. He made sure there wasn’t any pain, allowing my sweet girl leave this earth quietly and comfortably. Most importantly, she was able to see and feel me there with her. After her passing, Dr. Josh had me bring out my other GSD to see her and reminding me that he most likely will grieve as well, and explaining it’s important that they become aware that their companion was gone. I still, after two weeks am having moments missing her, and I find my other dog frequently goes to her favorite spot in the house and periodically lays down there. One of Katie’s habits I will miss the most is her waiting and greeting me at the door whenever I returned from an outing.

I could not have asked for a more patient, compassionate, wonderful person to see my beloved cat to his afterlife. Dr. Lori gets it; both my kitty and I felt we were in capable and loving hands. Nothing was hurried, brisk, or distant. It felt like a good friend (and cat lover) was helping us through the most difficult of days. I am so very glad we did this as we did; it's hard enough but Dr. Lori made it easier. She is the only vet I want with me when it's time for my other kitties to make their way to the other side.

If I could give 100 stars-I would! Dr Christina was compassionate, sensitive and supportive as our family went through this heartbreaking journey with our beloved Blu as she crossed over-the 🌈 bridge. She answered our questions and guided us through every step, did not rush our goodbyes, all while creating a dignified crossing for Blu 🐾💙🐾 Many thanks from all of us.
