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!

Very caring and compassionate about how she treated Katnis. She was very supportive and comforting for me as well. I was an emotional wreck and she took her time and allowed me to process my emotions to what felt like a heart wrenching experience. I appreciate the approach and she was very professional. Thank you.

We unfortunately had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to our 17-year-old dog, Rosy. When Dr. Sarah Warren arrived, she immediately embraced my parents with a hug as if she were an old friend. From the moment she came to Rosy and me, she gave off such a calm, loving, and comforting presence that even in one of the most painful moments of our lives, she brought us peace. She explained the entire process with such respect, compassion, and clarity. She climbed onto the bed with Rosy and me, gently gave her sedation, pet her, talked to her, and comforted not only us, but Rosy too. Rosy was my baby, and seeing how much genuine love and care Dr. Sarah had for her was incredibly heartwarming. You can truly see and feel how deeply she loves animals. She gave us all the time in the world to say goodbye and allowed me to make every decision about the next steps when I was ready. She made an unbearable moment just a little bit easier, and for that, I will never be able to thank her enough. Without me even needing to say the words, she understood when I was ready to say goodbye to my baby forever and comforted me through the hardest moment of my life. I am so thankful that she was the one there during Rosy’s final moments. She will forever have a special place in all our hearts for the work she does and the kindness she showed Rosy and us. She allowed us to carry my baby into the box and out to the car ourselves. The next morning, I decided I wanted to do a witness cremation. I immediately texted Dr. Sarah and received a reply within minutes. She personally helped place a hold on Rosy and even called and emailed the crematorium herself to ensure everything would be arranged. I was drowning in grief, yet she took that burden into her own hands and helped make it possible for me to see Rosy one last time before cremation. Because of Dr. Sarah, I was able to create more keepsakes and have a witness cremation a few days later. I truly cannot find the words to express how much that meant to me. Thank you, Dr. Sarah, from the bottom of my heart for treating Rosy and us with so much love and kindness. 🤍

Dr Lisa was amazing. This was one of the hardest things we have ever had to do, but she made saying goodbye to our girl so much easier and with no stress to Abby.

Dr Vernon was great! We knew it was time to say goodbye, but she took time to discuss the situation and confirmed we were correct, in our assessment of our girl. She allowed us time and didn't rush the process. She also explained everything we needed to know, along the way. Thank you, for making that really hard day a little easier.

Dr Lane was truly amazing. He helped us though one of the toughest things imaginable. I would highly recommend him and this whole process over going in to a clinic or worse yet, letting your loved pet suffer. From beginning to end it was peaceful and gentle. Our "Charlie" went without the slightest discomfort. Thank you.
