Andrea was very compassionate, communicative and empathetic when she came to help our 15 year old Border Terrier - Bella, rest in peace. We knew after many episodes of illness this was the end of her struggle. Dr. Dover came out on a Sunday, exactly at the time we requested. She asked questions about Bella and gave us expectations on what would happen. It all went smoothly and as best it could under the circumstances. She took her gently after we said our goodbyes. Within about a week, we got Bella’s ashes back from Peaceful Paws in a very nice wooden urn - along with a footprint, a little fur and a certificate. Would highly recommend Andrea and Peaceful Paws.

Dr. Houck was absolutely wonderful during such a heartbreaking time. She answered all of my questions the day before we had to euthanize our sweet Wally. She helped calm my nerves when I second guessed whether I was making the right decision. Dr. Houck was extremely professional and such a calm and reassuring presence throughout the entire process. We can never thank her enough for helping our Wally boy cross the Rainbow Bridge surrounded by my husband, son, and I in our own yard so he could enjoy the fresh air at home in his final moments.

Dr Divine came to our house to provide an in-home euthanasia for our elderly family dog. She was caring, and gentle and walked us through each step and process. Our dog went to the rainbow bridge in complete comfort and in a peaceful surrounding. Dr Divine provided a beautiful good-bye during a time when our hearts were hurting. Thank you

Dr. Amy went above and beyond for me and Mayhem. She called me in the evening to discuss the plan and made accommodations despite not being availability. She made the process as easy as possible. She then offered to deliver his cremated remains to my house and provided some comforting words. I cannot recommend Dr. Amy enough. Thank you, Dr. Amy. ~Anthony & Mayhem

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.
