Dr. Thomason was incredibly kind and gentle with us in the process of helping our girl, Sheila, go. She took the time to sit with us and explain the process, got to know both Sheila and our other dog, Tillie, and handled what was a very emotional event for us with kindness and professionalism. We especially appreciated how Dr. Thomason followed up with us afterwards sending us a lovely handwritten / handmade card. For something as difficult as making the decision to help a pet pass on, I would highly recommend Dr. Thomason.

Dr. Noe was so compassionate and gentle with my Molly. Her husband came as her assistant who also took the time to make sure Molly was comfortable. I was able to hold Molly in my arms during her process and it was very peaceful.. This is the 2nd time I have used Codapet and would highly recommend it them. They took great care of my Molly Girl.

Dr. Doolittle arrived within 2 hours of contacting CodaPet on a Saturday. He was very caring and explained the entire process clearly. He took our Bella with him and she was returned to us in a beautiful cedar box less than a week later. Dr. Doolittle even checked on how we were doing a week or so later.

Faced the difficult decision to euthanize our beloved 18 year old Papillon and used Codapet to do it in our home as our dog hated to go to the vet. Dr. Katie Todd arrived and explained in detail the process, gave us plenty of time to say our goodbyes, and made the process as easy as possible. She was very reassuring to my children that we had made the right decision and explained all the options for taking care of the remains and provided us with keepsakes to ease the family’s pain. Thank you so much Dr.Todd in doing what has to be one of the world’s toughest jobs!

M y prayers for my sweet aging pup Trixie always included a request that God continue to grant her a peaceful life and when the time came a perfect end. Dr. Bruker’s compassion for animals and their owners, and respect for the moment at hand was evident from the instant he arrived at our home, knelled down on the floor to Trixie, and quickly befriended her. His process was unobtrusive and gentle and gave us time to love her, assure her, and say goodbye to her. She passed calmly and peacefully. Thank you Dr. Bruker for respectfully and compassionately bringing Trixie’s long life to that perfect end.

Dr. Katie came to us close to the Christmas holiday with an impossible task: putting our 13-year-old dog to rest just 3 days before what’s supposed to be the happiest day of our kids year. She walked them through the entire procedure and even included them in the process so they could properly understand what was happening to their puppy dog as well as help him go to the next phase. I can’t say enough on how compassionate Dr. Katie was and, while we certainly never want to have to do these things, people like Dr. Katie make it something to be honored and respected. We appreciate her so much and believe she has played an important role in our children’s lives by helping them with the loss of their first pet. We cannot recommend her enough.
