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.

It has been over two weeks and I am still processing the loss of my best friend but one thing is for sure, Dr. Laurie Anne Walden was fantastic. Her kindness and compassion while explaining each step of the process are something I will never forget. I hope no one has to go through this but if the time comes, I highly recommend Dr. Walden.

So helpful, compassionate and patient as well as competent, skilled and professional. She tended to the needs of our kitty as well as mine through the entire process. She accommodating all my crying and need to hold Bandit until the end. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Cara Gordon came to my home and almost immediately got down on the floor with my cherished dog Chloe. She put Chloe at ease which in turn put me at ease. She checked her and came to the same conclusion that I had. Dr. Gordon was so kind to me and answered all my questions. She was so very sweet to my girl and I’ll always be grateful for that. I appreciate the care she took with Chloe and also with me. She even took my other dog into consideration, suggesting I let her see Chloe so she wouldn’t be looking for her and I think that was absolutely the right thing to do. I am so thankful that my baby was able to be comfortable at home for her last moments here with me. I appreciate Dr. Gordon so much.

Dr. Silberman and his wife could not have made my sister and I any more comfortable with the ordeal with Roxy. They are so kind and compassionate about what they do. Thank you very much. We will miss our Pretty girl Roxy..
