Dr. Angela helped us through this very painful experience. Her empathy for us and her care for our loved pet made helped us all in more ways than we can express. Ellie was in her home surroundings so she was not nervous at all. We were able to comfort Ellie as Dr. Angela helped us through her transition from her pain to the next world where she could run, play and be loved. Dr. Angela was so kind and so considerate of all of us. She is absolutely the best! We cannot say enough kind words about her. Thank you so much for helping Ellie and us through this.

Dr. Delia could not have been more compassionate in her work with me and my dog. Her presence, gentleness and pacing all contributed to a peaceful process at this heartbreaking time. Would recommend her to anyone facing the same situation.

Dr. Collins was truly wonderful. She walked us through the entire process with such compassion, explaining what would happen and gently preparing us for each step. She gave us all the time we needed with our sweet girl and helped us create beautiful keepsakes with her paw prints and nose print. We are deeply grateful for Dr. Collins and for this service, which allowed Dolly to pass peacefully in her own backyard, surrounded by love.

It’s been about two weeks now since we helped my guy Benny over the Rainbow Bridge. At 15 years and numerous health / mobility challenges, it was his time. When it was “their time”, we always took our furry children to the vet’s office for the “final visit”. Each office did their best to make it as easy as possible for all concerned, but it still felt a little “cold”, clinical and a little frighting. I was fortunate to have found CodaPet.com at the urging of our own vet’s office. We made the decision to help Benny at around 3:30pm on a Saturday. We received immediate response after scheduling online and Dr. Cassandra Lewis arrived at our house promptly at 7pm. After assessing Benny, she provided him with carefully administered sedatives to ease his suffering while surrounded by his family in the comfort of his favorite room on his favorite bedding. For the next 40 minutes or so, Dr. Lewis listen to us tell Benny’s life story. She was truly sent by the Angels. Allowing us to unburden ourselves to her compassionate ear allowed our healing to begin. She explained each step in the procedure and allowed for our questions as well as our periodic expressions of tearful grief. When we said our final “goodbyes”, she lovingly took Benny’s suffering away as we assured him the he was indeed “a good boy”. We chose the option for water cremation and carefully prepared him for transport in her vehicle. The entire process was professional, compassionate and even a little spiritual. We are forever grateful to Dr. Lewis (and CodaPet) helping us through this difficult time and giving Benny comfort and peace as he traveled the Bridge.
