Verified Veterinarian
As a veterinarian, my most meaningful experiences are those of guiding families through the process of saying goodbye to a beloved pet. My role is to provide compassionate support that recognizes the unique needs of each family- whether it be an objective conversation regarding quality of life, helping parents guide children through pet loss, or simply providing reassurance that the right decision is being made. Having a trusted guide throughout this complex process is essential.

As hard as something like this is to go through, it is at least reassuring that you have a partner who understands the pain and loss that is associated with saying goodbye to one of your closest friends.
The compassion and professionalism of this doctor was unparalleled and exceeded my expectations in every way. I truly felt as though an angel was sent to us to guide us through this traumatic experience.
I contacted CodaPet for in home pet euthanasia for my cat. My cat had lymphoma and though he had been doing well he suddenly 'crashed' overnight and was very much in distress. Dr. Bonnie Goldthwaite responded to my same-day request, and was professional, knowledgeable, kind, and caring through the whole process. My cat is/was very afraid of strangers, and Dr. Goldthwaite called ahead and we discussed how to best handle the situation; I appreciated this so much, and it worked out perfectly. This was the first time I've used an at-home vet service, and I will do so if the situation comes up again. I highly recommend Dr. Goldthwaite if you have the opportunity.
Dr. Bonnie. Is a loving compassionate and professional . I couldn't have asked for a better vet. She cave me a chance to say Goodbye to my sweet. Angel Harlee. I can never forget the wonderful care. And compassion she had for Harlee. I would highly recommend her For anyone who has to say goodbye to there, precious pet. Edith pierce
I made a last-minute appointment when my 14-year-old cat 'crashed' due to cancer. He had been doing well, but in the space of a day just suddenly went downhill and was obviously in his last hours. My vet had recommended a couple in home pet euthanasia services, since my cat is very fearful of strangers and taking him to a vet or hospital would have been extremely traumatic. I contacted Codapet and was able to schedule Dr. Bonnie Goldthwaite for the same day. Dr. Goldthwaite called ahead to review the process, listened to all my concerns, and helped work out a plan to mitigate the stranger-fear. She was prompt, knowledgeable, and kind at a terrible time. She explained the process before we started, and kept me informed through every step. The icing on the cake was the sweet wicker basket and homemade blankets she wrapped my sweetheart in to take him away. I will definitely recommend this service, and Dr. Goldthwaite, to anyone who finds themselves in this situation. It's awful to go through, and having a goodhearted guide makes a huge difference.
Dr. Bonnie Goldthwaite was incredible. She was patient, compassionate, and very professional at the same time. I had a peaceful and beautiful experience in saying goodbye to my sweet cat. Thank you!
