Dr. Evymarie Prado Sanchez was at my home within contact and travel time. She provided compassion and care. My dog Snuggles passed very peacefully at home.

We had to say goodbye to our 17 year old dog, Zoey, our first baby, who has been with us since she was 10 weeks old. Making that call was the hardest thing we’ve ever done. Inviting someone into our home for such a heartbreaking moment felt overwhelming… but Dr. Jen walked in with so much gentleness and calm that she immediately made it feel safe. She was kind, patient, and unbelievably compassionate. She explained everything softly, gave us as much time as we needed, and treated Zoey with so much dignity and respect. It never felt rushed. It never felt clinical. It felt like someone who truly understands that this isn’t “just a pet.” This is family. Because of Dr. Jen, Zoe was able to pass peacefully in her own home, surrounded by the people who loved her most. In the middle of one of the worst days of our lives, she was a steady, comforting presence. We will always be grateful for that. If you ever find yourself in the heartbreaking position of needing this service, I cannot recommend Dr. Jen enough. She is truly an angel.

Dr. Rebecca will be our first choice going forward for this incredibly personal and heartbreaking procedure. Pet euthanasia at home is the only way to go and I highly recommend Dr. Becca if services are needed.

Dr. Walden put our cat, Andy, to sleep today. She called yesterday and we had a very comforting conversation. And, we spoke again before she came today. She said it was a privilege for her to help animals transition. She spent a lot of time with us beforehand. It was my hope that Andy could be euthanized laying on my lap in our (his and mine) recliner. It worked out perfectly and was so peaceful. Dr. Walden explained in detail each step and how the sedative/anesthesia would work and what to expect. She was professional, comforting, patient with our (my husband and me) reminiscing. She made sure to go through the euthanasia at our pace. Our last sight of Andy was him wrapped in a beautiful blanket resting in peace in a lovely basket. Our only regret was that Dr. Walden and Codapet were not available with our prior animals.

I can't say enough fabulous things about Dr. Jessica Pruitt! It was a hard decision (as it always will be) when its time for our "buddies" to have to leave us:( but Dr. Jessica is so gentle and kind. She explains everything, is very patient and my Molly just warmed right up to her which made things even easier. I can't express the gratitude to Dr. Jessica enough as she made this as peaceful as can be for all of us:) Thank you Dr. Jessica!
