We are forever grateful to Dr. Nicolette Michelli for the compassion and care she showed our family. From the moment she arrived, she treated our Elsa with kindness, patience, and charity. She gently explained each step of the process, giving us the space and time to be present with our girl in her final moments without ever feeling rushed. Dr. Michelli took the time to personally send us a lovely handwritten card and followed up to ensure that Elsa’s ashes were returned to us. We will always remember Dr. Michelli's kindness.
Dr. Christina came with such a passionate and sympathetic heart her love for animals and for animal parents is unmatched. She went above and beyond to give us extra time to say goodbye to our dear Maggie Mae and even let our other dogs in to say their final goodbyes as well. I highly recommend Dr. Christina for any emergency animal euthanizing her care and passion even dropping Maggie Mae off was just been above and beyond. Thank you, Dr. Christina for your love, your passion and your overall professionalism during this difficult time.
The form for the service was very easy to complete. I appreciated this since making this decision was very difficult and I was fraught with emotion. I wanted my beloved cat Buddy to have a pain free transition at our home. He was 18 years. His decline was rapid; he became extremely ill in the span of a week with advanced kidney disease. Dr. Lutri was so gentle and loving to Buddy. She explained every step of the process and asked me before each step if I was ready to move to the next. Dr. Lutri was gracious, kind, and compassionate. She has the most peaceful, calm, loving presence and a profound caring for the pets she serves and their pet guardians. She comforted me greatly as she took care of my magnificent boy. She genuinely understood the magical connection I had with Buddy and treated him so tenderly when she put his sweet body into a beautiful bed to transport him the the crematorium. I felt like Dr. Lutri was an angel sent to me in my dire time of need and loss. She was exceptional in every way. She is a talented doctor overflowing with empathy and understanding who is beautiful inside and out.
Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald is an angel on Earth. The time came to put down our 13 year old family dog. I wanted this to be done in the familiar comfort of our home. Dr Delia came to our house shortly after I reached out. She was kind and compassionate and made Mia’s transition calm, pain free and peaceful. She is an amazing human and is excellent at what she does. I am so grateful. Thank you so much Dr Delia.
Dr. Katie Todd was so kind and informative. She explained the process and answered all of our questions. Our sweet girl is at peace and out of pain and I couldn't have asked for a better experience for her.
Very responsive to a same day appointment and even came earlier when notified that Beau had taken a turn for the worse. Once she arrived at the house, she was very calm, which helped us relax. She also was not in a rush to get it done … she waited for us to tell her we were ready—which is a different experience than my parents have encountered with in-home euthanasias—and much appreciated. Her compassion extended past “the appointment”. She made contact with us the following day to see how my daughter was doing. When I was a bit apprehensive about sending Beau’s ashes to our regular vet, she agreed to have him returned to her residence, so that we could pick him up there and ensure positive control. All-in-all, and with respect to the circumstances, it was a very positive experience and the best that you could expect that situation to be—Dr Laura made what was otherwise probably the worst day of my life, just a little bit better. If I’m ever able to take the plunge into fur-parenting again, I would not hesitate to use Dr Laura and Codapets services again when the time came.
Dr. Pilago showed so much care and compassion when we had to make the painful decision to put our handsome pup Rodney to sleep. I highly recommend her.
Dr. White was very kind, compassionate, professional, and accommodating. She contacted me shortly after scheduling to confirm the appointment and offer an earlier visit, which was greatly appreciated. When she arrived, she explained the process and treated us with great respect. The following week, Dr. White reached out again to arrange to have my pet's remains picked up. She was, again, accommodating and prompt with the transfer. Losing a pet is very painful, but allowing your pet to pass in the comfort and safety of their own home was a great relief, and Dr. White's kindness and understanding helped make the passing a little less painful. I could not have asked for a more calm and respectful transition.
Dr. Thomason was so supportive and helpful during such an incredibly hard time. I can't say enough about what an amazing vet she is. RIP Lovely Lolita
When Dr Martin arrived, my little guy Barney ran to the door to greet him like he did all guests. He even barked at him, before jumping up to him to get attention. Dr Martin greeted him back, warmly and sincerely. He was playful with Barney while explaining the process to us. Lane made a horrible no win situation more acceptable with his calm demeanor and soothing words. I can't thank Dr Martin enough for helping little Barney come to peaceful end to his life's journey.
Dr Dover was an angel. She made the whole process as comforting as she could. She explained what she was doing, showed compassion, and really helped me through a tough and emotional time. She was conscious of everyone involved too, even my little girls. Thank you Dr. Dover for helping our Yuuki cross the rainbow bridge. I can’t recommend you enough!
I cannot express enough the gratitude I feel for Dr. Lisa Feig. It was heart wrenching knowing I had to say goodbye to my precious Dottie before she began to suffer. We loved her so much. With that said, Dr. Lisa Feig made the experience so much easier and peaceful for our sweet girl. I knew Dottie was not in pain and crossed over in the most peaceful way. Dr. Feig is the most compassionate, caring, thoughtful doctor anyone could ask for. Anyone who has Dr. Feig in their life as wife, mother, daughter, friend--is an extremely lucky person. She was so giving of her time and patience. I recommend at home euthanasia to everyone. Having your loved one home, comfortable in their surroundings is really the best option. I hated the idea of her being at a hospital or vet clinic in a sterile environment. I got to hold her and tell her how pretty she was and how loved she was. And all the while, Dr. Feig demonstrated such genuine compassion. My fiancé and I were blown away. It takes a special person to do this type of job. And Dr. Lisa Feig more than meets that requirement. A million thanks to her and Coda Pet.
Dr Gold berg was the best. I am so glad I chose to have my best friend (best dog ever) transition at home. Dr Goldberg allowed me to cry my eyes out.
We decided to use CodaPet when it was time for us to make that decision for our sweet 14 year old St Bernard, Fiona. It was the best thing we could have done. Dr Jason Doolittle made sure the experience was peaceful and went at a pace we were comfortable with. He explained in detail everything that would happen and was very gentle with Fiona. Thank you for providing a service that allows our fur family to go peacefully in their homes surrounded by comforting faces and love.
Dr. Lisa made herself available for a last-minute urgent call for us and she couldn’t have been more lovely and caring. This is obviously a challenging and sad time for anyone in the position to call. She treated it with reverence and kindness. Feel lucky to have had her.
Dr Jill was incredibly kind and compassionate. Her skill and calm are beyond words. She gave our sweet Sugar comfort and peace while we felt her love and respect for us and Sugar. She provided us with support and comfort and dignity for our dear little Beagle. We are forever grateful and appreciative. This was a beautiful end of life for the beautiful dog we will always love. Thank you, Dr Jill. Bridget and Michael
This is the 2nd time we have used Dr. Danielle Jackson. She is kind, compassionate and we would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you again Dr. Jackson!
Best decision ever. While my heart is broken, this option of a kind, gentle passing in our home, with no anxiety for my sweet girl was a blessing for both of us. Dr. Gibson was so sweet and compassionate. It is obvious she was born to do exactly this. Her respect for my baby was so comforting. I won't ever go a different route again.
The team at CodaPet made all the difference in the world. The process was smooth and they were readily available to answer any questions. Dr. Katie Simpson was so considerate, gentle, and kind. She and her team made what was a very hard day a little bit better.
There is no good way to lose a loved friend and companion. We are grateful to have found Dr. Ortman when our AB “Zeke” began to rapidly decline in health due to NCL. Dr. Ortman was professional and empathetic while he provided us with the very best care. He was well organized, prepared, and able to guide us through the euthanasia process. He was gentle and kind to Zeke. Dr. Ortman’s care and expertise enabled Zeke to pass gently and peacefully with the love he deserved. Dr. Ortman also helped us move toward healing by enhancing our understanding of Zeke’s condition. That knowledge gave us comfort in knowing that we made the only decision possible to spare Zeke from further suffering. Not every case is without hope. If your pet is suffering, Dr. Ortman also offers a Quality of Life consultation. I would trust him to provide sound recommendations for any of our pets and I believe you can, as well. God Bless
Dr. Delia is truly one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She gave us peace of mind by answering all of our questions and throughly explaining what our baby girl was experiencing. We are so happy that our Mira was surrounded by love and comfort in her final moments.
Lauren is very kind and thoughtful. She took the time to explain the entire process. She was not in a hurry and allowed us to take the time we needed to say see you on the other side to our beloved Xena.
Dr. Magnotta was wonderful. She was able to take a difficult time and treat it with dignity and compassion. I’m tremendously thankful for all of her kindness and help during this time.
Anna was fantastic. Personable, professional, and kind. I'm grateful that there are people in this world who can do what she does. Thank you Anna, for making a heartbreaking situation at little bit more peaceful.
Dr. Stukey was so amazingly kind, patient, and caring! She created such a gentle way to say goodbye during a very difficult experience. If you are finding yourself at the tough position of having to say goodbye to a beloved pet, she is the vet to help your loved one cross the bridge. ♥️
We are so grateful that Dr. Courtney White was available to us, last minute nonetheless. We were able to say goodbye to our precious boy Radar in his favorite spot in our backyard. Dr. White was so kind and compassionate, explaining the process as it progressed, allowing us to make the decisions we could. She truly understood the bond we had with our boy. We will cherish the memory of him forever ❤️
Dr. Norman was wonderful in helping our pet pass away peacefully at home. She was professional, compassionate and genuinely kind. We would highly recommend Dr. Norman and CodaPet for those looking for in home euthanasia services.
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.
Kirsten was incredible in every way. The days leading up, she texted words of encouragement and provided information that was so incredibly. I cannot imagine a smoother experience. It didn’t take away our pain, but we felt so well cared for throughout. This was so, so much harder than we ever imagined, but Kirsten was key in making such a difference for us.
Dr. Wolfingbarger provided us with such compassionate and respectful care during one of the hardest moments of our lives. When we had to make the decision to euthanize our beloved cat, Nene, Dr. Wolfingbarger treated him—and us—with incredible kindness, patience, and understanding. She took the time to explain everything, never rushed us, and made sure Nene was comfortable and surrounded by love. We are deeply grateful for the empathy and professionalism shown during such a painful experience. I truly can’t imagine having gone through this without such caring support.
Dr. Magnotta was amazing. She gave our family a great amount of comfort on such a difficult day. I could not recommend her and this service enough.
This was definitely the way to give your baby wings. My dog was very afraid of the vet office, and i did not want him to be on his last day on earth. Dr Anna was on time, very loving, caring and made us all feel at ease with going forward. She even brought a treat for him, and my very usually picky dog ate it! She was amazing, and I would definitely call on her again. Thank you, Dr Anna. The Hallfrisch's.
From the moment that Dr.Jones arrived, I knew she was the right choice. She was polite, empathetic and just so kind throughout the entire process. She took ample time to talk to our family after examining our dog and then allowed us to make a decision without pressure. Once the decision was made we were given plenty of time…no rushing at all. It was as peaceful of a passing as I could have ever imagined for such a beloved part of our family. I would use Dr.Jones again and highly recommend her services.
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.
It's the service you never want but when it comes I was so thankful for Dr. Todd. She was so compassionate and patient with us. Our sweet cat was able to cross the rainbow bridge in the comfort of his home without the stress of being moved to a vets office in his final hours. She even brought his ashes back to us. I can't thank her enough for this. We also had to move his appointment up and she was quick to move to his needs. I hope I don't need their services for a long time for my other fur babies but I will use her again in the very, very distant future.
Such a great experience, during such a difficult event. Dr. Anna Peterson was incredible. So kind, kept things light, and was so skilled. Thank you!
Highly recommend Dr. Clem!! She was very kind and explained the process without us feeling rushed to get it done quick. She was gentle with our sweet Miley and for that we are forever grateful.
Dr. Magnotta is a kind soul who brings compassion to families in very difficult situations. We were fortunate to find her in a time of need.
Dr. Mitchell was wonderful. She was very caring with our pet and our family durning a difficult time. I would highly recommend Dr. Mitchell.
Michelle Albrecht is my neighbor and friend and we shared in the care of our feral cat, "Fluffy". Fluffy was accustomed to us, but was still leary of carriers and traps. When he appeared one evening in terrible stress and pain, we didn't know what we would do to get help for him. I spoke with Dr. Carolyn Anderson who told me about CodaPet. We were very grateful. It was soon obvious that the best we could do for Fluffy was to relieve him of his pain. Dr Perzak came early the following morning and we were very pleased with her care of Fluffy as well as concern for us. She has a huge heart and love for animals and their caregivers and it's very obvious. We will always remember her kindness and her patience in sending Fluffy over the rainbow bridge. She made a difficult time much better for us, and for Fluffy. God bless you all connected with CodaPet.
Dr. Walden brought peace to the most difficult day of my life. She helped me navigate my decision and gave her time to provide comfort. I greatly appreciate the love she showed Chief in his final moments and allowing me the time I needed to say goodbye. As horrible of a situation it was I couldn’t imagine going through it without a service like Codapet. I highly recommend any pet owner going through this decision to give your pet the proper comfort they deserve by allowing them to pass in their safe space.
Dr. Jason Doolittle showed our family extraordinary compassion during one of the hardest moments of our lives. He walked us through every step of the at-home euthanasia process with patience, kindness, and clarity, ensuring we never felt rushed or uncertain. He handled our beloved Ranger with the utmost respect and gentleness, truly honoring him as the cherished member of our family that he was. Dr. Doolittle stayed in contact with us throughout the process, including updates on the return of Ranger ashes along with a beautiful nose print and paw print that we will treasure forever. Allowing Ranger to spend his final day at home, surrounded by love and comfort, meant everything to us. We are deeply grateful for Dr. Doolittle’s empathy, professionalism, and the genuine care he showed our family and our sweet pup.
We are deeply thankful to Dr. Shannon Nakaya for the care and compassion she showed during our beloved dog Giggsy’s final moments. Saying goodbye was an incredibly painful decision and a very difficult day for us, but her kindness, patience, and gentle approach helped ease the burden. Dr. Nakaya guided us through the process with understanding and treated Giggsy with such tenderness and respect. Her compassion and professionalism truly made all the difference during this heartbreaking time.
D. Derecka Alexander was the special person we needed on a very sad day for us. Compassion and professionalism combined to help us on a crushing day!
Dr. Katie was amazing! She handled everything so professionally yet personally too. Ruger will be so missed by many (as she can attest to, she said it was the biggest crowd she'd had, there were 9 of us) and I will never take my pets to a cold impersonal clinic to pass if I can help it. Having your pet pass at home where they're comfortable and familiar was such a blessing!
Putting my beloved Avery down was the hardest day of my life. While there is no easy way to do that, Dr. Noe made the experience so much better. From the moment she came to my house, her calm presence put everyone at ease, including my dog. She was professional, yet spoke as if she had known Avery for years. She gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye to our baby without feeling rushed. After Avery passed, Dr. Noe gave a heartfelt speech and hugged us all. I couldn't imagine having to euthanize in any other way.
Mac was my first pet- my kitty cat of 18 years. I consider myself very fortunate to have had him as a buddy for so long. So when he showed signs of his time being up, I knew from a friend -in home pet euthanasia- was a peaceful goodbye. Dr. John Murray was beyond thoughtful and professional with amazing bedside manner. Mac had a wonderful last day at home and I held him in my arms as we said goodbye. It was beyond hard, but I also wouldn’t have it any other way looking back. Mac hated his car carrier, the car, a vet office is so cold. We were in our beautiful, sunny room, comfortable and well, I’d want to go the same way! Thank you again for being so wonderful to our sweet baby.
Dr. Ayala was very kind and considerate, she was focused on our feelings and the hardship we were experiencing. Thank you very much for the way our service was handled.
Dr. Duvall did a fantastic job easing our dog out of this world, and in tending to our human needs and concerns as well. She really went the extra mile and was full of compassion for all of us. I can't imagine how the inherently difficult situation could have been made any easier.
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!
Dr. Peterson was so compassionate and caring. She really helped us get through this terrible time of having to put our precious dog Lincoln down. She treated him with so much respect and care. When he passed she was so gentle with him, and was so careful taking care of him. I would highly recommend her if you are going through this difficult time with your dog.
In my life I have been blessed to have a few dogs. Saying goodbye is part of the price we pay. Dr. Gordon made this horrible time easier. I will be eternally grateful for the kindness and compassion she showed not only our precious Baby Girl but also us.
Wanda was 14 years old. She was such a big part of our family, we couldn’t imagine saying goodbye to her at the vet’s office. Everyone was here with her, including Kiko our 6 year old rescue. Dr John was everything we needed that day. Patient, understanding, compassionate and professional. Thank you to Dr John and Codapet, especially for the questionnaire to help understand if it was time to say goodbye. Wanda runs free now with Mel and Bruiser. Goodbye girl.
Dr. Sara Gardhaouse has an amazing aura about her. In such an Emotinal time she radiates warmth and kindness to help ease the situations hardness. I would gladly refer this company to help with the passing of any fur baby in their own home.
I am so grateful that Dr Brittany assisted Mandy and me as we sent her across the rainbow bridge. Dr. Brittany was so patient and kind with all of us. I cannot express how much I would suggest Coda Pet and Dr. Brittany to anyone who needs to assist their pets at this terrible time. They are the help you want to be there with you. I am grateful I found this option..
Dr. Katie Todd was so unbelievably kind & compassionate. She made an absolutely awful experience as peaceful & supportive as was possible. We are so grateful for her service.
Renee was very communicative and reached out the morning of to let me know that the roads were bad and she would be possibly late as a result. She handled my sweet, loving boy with compassion and dignity. I’m crying even as I type this. What I appreciated as much as her care in his final moments was the card she sent me. She remembered specific things I told her about him. THAT meant a lot. He wasn’t just another pet she was euthanizing. It was my 16 year old chatty kitty who loved playing fetch at 3am and his special blankies. Thank you for caring for the piece of my soul I lost that day. I’ll never forget your kindness in that moment. Unfortunately, it’s not something that comes by often anymore. Love, compassion, kindness. I’m grateful to her for that.
Dr. Briell was so thoughtful and compassionate during the process. She didn't rush anything and really helped give us closure. We appreciated being able to say goodbye to our beloved pet in the comfort of our own home.
I have known Dr.Thomas for a long time, and I was so relieved to know she would be there during such a difficult moment. Having her with us for my cat's in-home euthanasia brought me so much comfort. She clearly explained the entire process beforehand and was deeply present and calm throughout. She brought special treats for my kitty, that she enjoyed during her last moments, and also gave treats to my dog who was present as well. Her kindness and care meant so much to us, more than I could ever express. Thank you so much Dr.Thomas 💓
We suddenly found ourselves in an unbearable situation with our 17-year-old dog, Teddy. His health declined so quickly, and we had to rush to find someone who could help us say goodbye at home. Thankfully, we were able to book an appointment with Dr. Lisa. She came to our house with such humility, patience, and compassion. She listened as we cried and asked a million questions, gently reassuring us that we were doing the right thing for our sweet boy. She never rushed us, she gave us the space and time we needed to say goodbye. As heartbreaking as it was, Teddy passed peacefully and comfortably in our arms. Dr. Lisa treated him with love, dignity, and respect, and made sure he was safely transported for cremation. She even followed up with us afterward to reassure us he had arrived where he needed to go. Losing Teddy has been one of the hardest things we’ve ever gone through, but we have no regrets choosing Dr. Lisa. She gave our boy the most loving, gentle passing we could have hoped for.
She explained every step and told us what to expect. Communicating with her was easy and she was in contact with us for her arrival time and was personable. We felt comfortable with her and she was kind enough to let me know when my Wolfie’s ashes arrived and she delivered him personally to our home. Thank you for making this difficult time easier.
Saying goodbye to our beloved dachshund Lily was one of the most painful moments of our lives, but thanks to Dr. Lisa Stadler with CodaPet, it was also one of the most peaceful and compassionate. Dr. Lisa, a retired veterinarian, brought a gentle presence and deep empathy into our home—qualities that made an unbearable day a little more bearable. Her kindness and professionalism helped guide my wife and me through the process with grace and dignity. We are overwhelmingly grateful that Lily was able to pass in the comfort of her home, surrounded by the space and the things she loved most. Holding her in my arms as she went peacefully was a blessing I will never forget. The communication with CodaPet was seamless, and scheduling the appointment was simple—something I deeply appreciated during such an emotionally difficult time. I cannot recommend CodaPet and Dr. Lisa more highly. Their service was not just professional—it was personal, compassionate, and deeply respectful. Thank you for being part of Lily’s journey, and ours. You will forever hold a place in our hearts.
Dr Clem was very kind & understanding. The decision I made was extremely difficult and her words of understanding made me feel better.
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. Amanda Harper was the epitome of professionalism. She was kind and took her time with us and our dog. Smokey was relaxed and felt very loved, at home, with his family. I would never choose to do it differently if we were ever to be in that situation again. This service made a terrible situation as easy as it could ever be. Highly recommend to all my pet-loving friends.
Dr. Gordon performed the euthanasia for my sweet soul dog of 16 years. It was the most peaceful experience I could’ve asked for. She knew exactly what to say and created such a calm environment to spend our final moments together. I’m very grateful for her service.
Elizabeth did a truly amazing job of walking us through the process before and then allowing us to pace the process as it went. I am not sure it could be done any better. If I could leave 10 stars I would .
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!
Dr. Kim was an absolute angel! She made the passing of our sweet Belle (15 year old blue tick) so much easier. Her compassion and just overall presence during such a hard time was so comforting. I will be recommending the at home service to anyone I know who has an elderly dog.
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.
I believe I commented here before.she is the best! Dr. Cassandra is the most caring, kind hearted veterinarian I have had the pleasure to meet. I only wish I knew of her years earlier! Dr. Cassandra left us with no doubts that we did make the selfless and right decision first out Reyna. I will always recommend her and Codapet. Jen Boucher
Absolutely wonderful. She was very kind, patient and explained everything that was going to happen. We have a second dog, a pug, who barked when she first arrived and within minutes was on his back letting Dr Krueger scratch his belly. Highly recommend
Dr. Magnotta was accommodating with her availability, and was even able to come help us earlier than anticipated as our cat's health exponentially deteriorated overnight. We know Dr. Magnotta helped us make our cat as comfortable as possible as we said goodbye. It was one of the hardest days of my life, but Dr. Magnotta helped give me peace of mind knowing my cat Sadie felt no pain and was cared for with kindness. Dr. Magnotta was so compassionate and caring. She made us feel cared for, and we felt reassured that we were making the right decision. I highly recommend Dr. Magnotta.
she was very understanding, caring and gentle i would definitely recommend her to anyone who maybe in need of. thank you for your kindness during such a heartbreaking time.
Dr. Sara was so kind and caring. She was patient and understanding. She recognized our need to just “be” with our sweet Jack a little while longer. She showed tons of love for Lil Jack. She gave us a safe space to “ugly cry” as we helped our sweet boy cross the rainbow bridge. Thank you, Dr. Sara for helping make one of the most painful things we’ve ever had to do hurt just a little less with your love and compassion for “furbabies” & their humans!
I called about my dog because for some reason her pain had just gotten unbearable all of a sudden so the doctor came to the house. I had my dog already laying down with the blanket and. When the doctor reached in her bag, she pulled out a needle that was large. My dog is Chihuahua mix 14 pounds at the time. The first shot, she screamed in pain yelped the second time I was trying to hold her head as still as I could and I did and she screamed again, but she, the doctor thought that the dog was already sedated and was going to give her the euthanasia shot and I said no she’s not asleep and she said she should she’s asleep and so I pulled out my dog’s leg up and she pulled back The second sedation shot was given and she cried again. I’m only telling you this because I feel like I wanted to do it at home because I wanted her to be more comfortable but after that, I don’t know I mean she was at home in bed with me, but I felt like she was she was going to think that I was hurting her right before she died. I can’t get it out of my mind. The euthanasia shot was given and and Dixie passed I understand these things happen but it just left a it left me feel bad for my dog. The doctor was nice but that doesn’t matter for my dog. It should’ve been smoother anyway the total charge was close to that $1000 but that included her urn And paw print . Bottom line I feel like the shots for sedation should have been done with the smaller needle and the light should’ve been enough to be able to put the needle in easier? I can’t take back her pain. I just hope she understands that I wasn’t trying to hurt her in her last time here thank you for your understanding. This is not meant to be mean this is just how I feel.
Many thanks to Dr. Bailey during our families' loss of our 15 year pet dog, Cody. She discussed the timing and purpose of the euthanasia, and gave us excellent advice and encouragement through this difficult time.
Dr. Hundley was very compassionate and caring. She brought a calming energy to the situation and was so respectful of our family. I would highly recommend having her assist when a fur baby needs to make their way to the rainbow bridge. Avoid the stress of making a final trip to an office and allow your pet to pass in the comfort of their home.
