Dr. Cara Gordon with Coda Pet embodies the epitome of compassionate care and patience. From the moment she stepped into our house, she greeted my family with empathy, setting the tone for a truly remarkable experience. Dr. Gordon’s genuine love for animals shines through in every interaction, as she took the time to listen attentively to our concerns and addressed them with utmost care.
Her patience knows no bounds, whether it's answering endless questions or soothing nervous pets or handling my young kids decide whether or not they wanted to be in the room. She was patient and so kind to our family. She had a remarkable ability to ease our minds and reassured us that Mavrick was no longer going to be in pain and we were doing the right thing.
In times of uncertainty and difficult decisions, Dr. Gordon provided unwavering support and guidance, offering empathy and understanding every step of the way.
I would absolutely recommend this service to anyone. This experience has been so helpful in our grieving process. Mavrick was our black lab/chow mix and he 15 years old and traveled the world with us while we served in the Military. We are so thankful for Dr Cara Gordon.
5.0Mar 13 2024 by Chelsea L She is very kind, caring, supportive. She took her time and made sure my dog was calm, and sedated well. She talked me through everything and I even got a condolence card later in the mail. Her final words of "He was such a good boy" gave me relief and calm.
5.0Jun 13 2024 by Tempi J 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.
5.0Sep 14 2025 by Savannah Cottrell She was amazing, sweet and compassionate. I really appreciate that she was able to come earlier then originally planned since my sweet Rallo took a turn for the worse the morning of the appointment.
5.0Sep 30 2025 by Mary Kate C. Dr Gordon was so caring , compassionate and amazing! It was super hard for me to let go of my 15 year old cat 🐈⬛ but she did make his last day feel special.
5.0Sep 01 2024 by Monica Smith Dr. Gordon was so caring and patient. She explained the process, gave us time through each step and encouraged us to share our life with Oscar. I would 100% recommend her.
5.0Dec 06 2024 by Victoria J. We had a 13 year old who was deteriorating rapidly and we wanted to help him before him started suffering. We contacted codapet who sent Dr. Cara Gordon who came to our house for in home pet euthanasia. I can’t imagine the experience is ever great, but Dr. Gordon was incredibly kind, gentle and sincere. She talked us through the procedure (as much as we wanted to) and was incredibly compassionate. I’m sorry for anyone that needs this service, but I can say that Dr. Gordon was an excellent person for this.
5.0Jan 07 2026 by Manish R. Dr Gordon was kind, patient and very helpful during this difficult time for our family. Thank you for providing a calm and peaceful crossing for our Susie.
5.0Nov 10 2024 by Stephen V. Dr. Gordon came through for us in every way--compassionate, a good listener and able to explain the process clearly . Her communication was always open, timely and never was there a question unanswered about Pepper's in home euthanasia and the cremation process at a local Oklahoma facility. The most needed and appreciated part was the follow up by Dr Gordon, taking care in making sure our first days following were going ok. I suggest for potential clients to look at the CODA website and see what they have to offer. ( options, pricing, aftercare and veternarian bio) I am very happy with CODA and Dr Gordon.
5.0Nov 03 2024 by Christie W. Dr. Gordon showed great empathy for what my puppy, AJ Brown, and I were experiencing. She was so delicate with my little boy. He did not even know she had entered the room. He had no stress or anxiety in his final moments. He gently and peacefully crossed Rainbow Bridge to be joined with his Creature and family. Thank you, Dr. Gordon
5.0Oct 29 2025 by LAURA B. Dr. Cara was very understanding, knowledgeable and helped us say our hardest goodbye to our best friend 💕😭 She explained everything before/during the process and was very patient with any questions we had. We are forever grateful for her and her service which allowed him to pass in peace and comfort of his own home ❤️ Thank you!
5.0Apr 02 2025 by Julie Haynes She was very kind and we appreciate her help very much. We already shared her information with a friend who also used her & we're pleased. We would definitely use her again if the opportunity arises.
5.0Jun 04 2024 by Slawomir B Dr Gordon was wonderful. She explained the process to us and was so very compassionate and caring. She made a very difficult day a little easier for us. Having the procedure done at home was less stressful on our beloved Westie Lucy as well. Thank you
5.0Feb 25 2026 by Lori B. 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.
5.0Sep 09 2025 by Pam Miner Dr. Cara Gordon is so compassionate and caring....she talked me thru this devastating process....letting me know step by step what would happen....she was very patient and understanding with our situation with Jett....she prepared me for what I needed to do on my end....so both of us could make Jett as comfortable as possible....I'm so grateful for her kind words and helping us say goodbye to our Jett..Thanku Cara for all u did to make this experience not as stressful for Jett or for us....Thanku again 💜
5.0Jul 28 2025 by Sheima Mitchell Cara seemed very caring and had a calm presence. The issue was the first medicine out of three that were administered. It was an oral med and must have tasted awful to Lily. She freaked out and had a terrified look on her face, and was trying desperately to get the taste out of her mouth. It took several minutes for her to calm down so Cara could go on with the other two steps. What should have been a calm death in our home for Lily instead was horrifying for her and for my wife and me. We have had two dogs and three cats euthanized at the vet, and this has never been an issue before. I would not recommend Coda until they change protocol.
2.0Nov 25 2024 by Michael L. Dr. Cara Gordon was excellent. She was professional, kind, and compassionate during an especially difficult time for me. She immediately connected with my dog and made him comfortable.
Cara explained every thing before proceeding. I would highly recommend her.
5.0May 08 2025 by Susan Burtrum Dr. Gordon took an extremely difficult choice and task and approached it with guidance and grace. I am grateful for her being their for us and our pet during this time. It is an experience nobody wants to go through, but when it is time there is nobody better or more thoughtful than Dr. Gordon.
5.0Mar 11 2025 by Lacey H. I’m so thankful that we choose to go this route at home rather than a cold table in a vet office. Dr.Gordon was wonderful with us. She treated our sweet Nyx with such kindness before & afterwards. I cannot imagine saying goodbye to our girl any other way. I hope I don’t need too but if I ever do I’ll definitely be calling her again!
5.0Aug 23 2025 by Kristina D. I simply cannot imagine a more peaceful, supportive way to say goodbye to your pet. Our beloved hound was unable to stand on her last day and rather than pick her up and carry her to her vet (which would have been painful and confusing), we called Dr. Gordon who worked us in as soon as possible. She treated us and Sahara with dignity and respect and allowed us to say goodbye in the comfort of our home. Thank you for this invaluable service.
5.0Jun 25 2025 by Joey Muth Dr Cara Gordon was kind and professional. She made my pet and my family feel at ease throughout the entire process. She explained everything as in depth as I wanted, was prompt, and listened to my concerns beforehand and my stories of my beloved pet after. For such a sad day, it was peaceful and loving. I would recommend her to anyone for this service and if I were to ever need this service again I would ask her.
5.0Oct 04 2024 by chelsey mead Very kind and caring, T his was very painful for me as I had “ my puppy “ since he was 6 weeks old and it was a difficult decision to put him down. Dr Cara was very compassionate and explained everything she was going to do and allowed me to spend as much time with Rusty before he passed away. I highly recommend her if you ever have to make to make the decision to put your pet down
5.0Jan 29 2026 by Alan R. Dr. Gordon is amazing. She explained to us dogs didn’t get hospice or morphine drips. Our Baby Girl was in pain. She was not going to get any better. She didn’t even lift her head when Dr. Gordon came in. She was so very kind and respectful for both our little girl and ourselves. I will never be able to thank her enough!
5.0Jun 02 2025 by Kurt A. so very Thankful for Dr.Gordon! We feel very blessed that we got to say goodbye to Our Gypsy girl in the most peaceful way! Gypsy was in her home and surrounded by what she knew and loved. Dr.Gordon and Gypsy became instant friends and I truly believe Gypsy knew Dr.Gordon was here to help her. One of the hardest days of our lives , was also a beautiful blessing! Thank you! ❤️🐾
5.0Feb 17 2026 by David G. I have nothing but the highest respect for the care, patience, and dignity that doctor Cara Gordon displayed during her visit with our beloved dog, Jake. This was absolutely one of the hardest decision we have ever had to make, and it truly broke our hearts to do so. Dr. Cara was so extremely patient and kind to us, but most especially to Jake. You could tell in her actions that she truly loves animals and wanted the absolute best for us and for Jake. I hope to never have to go through this again, but if we do, Dr. Cara would be the only one I would want to go through this experience with. Thank you so much for the kindness and graciousness you showed Jake, my husband, and me.

Our experience with Dr. Gordon was exactly what we hoped it would be. We felt so lucky to have her calm, kind, caring bedside demeanor as part of this otherwise difficult experience. Dr. Gordon let our pet take things as his own pace, never rushed the appointment, and was very loving in our pet’s final moments. I would choose this service and this provider again.
5.0Nov 18 2024 by Jordan Douglas She was amazing!
Dr. Gordon made the process so much easier. She was kind, professional, and extremely caring. I have already recommended her to several people.
5.0Jan 28 2026 by Deborah B. Dr. Gordon was very kind and understanding during this terrible time. She showed us compassion and made our precious fur babies last moments at peace with us by her. Bentley wasn't scared and she worked around us and talked to us to help keep us at is. This is not something anyone wants to go through. But being able to spend those last moments at home with her instead of being in a vets office will always be something I appreciate that this service offers and would recommend to any pet owner. Dr. Gordon was very responsive and when things got worse quickly she adjusted her appointment to visit us earlier so that Bentley didn't have to suffer more than she was. I am grateful for the care she took of our sweet baby.
5.0Oct 17 2024 by Stevi R. Dr. Gordon was very kind and patient. She brought treats to help keep my cat distracted during the process which I think helped a lot. I highly recommend her.
5.0Mar 12 2024 by Adeline M. On Good Friday I made the difficult decision to put my 13 yr old black lab out of his pain. I set up an appointment with Dr. Gordon and she arrived at the appointed time, sat down and talked with my daughter and I about Bruno, the issues he was dealing with, and his quality of life. I don’t like playing God so it was a very difficult decision for me to make. Dr. Gordon listened to my concerns regarding Bruno and agreed it was Bruno’s time. The process couldn’t have been more peaceful for Bruno, my daughter, and me.
5.0Apr 17 2026 by John S. Dr. Gordon is the absolute best. She is so kind and compassionate. Our dogs instantly loved her when she entered our home, and we know they are the best judge of character. A few weeks ago we had to put down our 16yo miniature dachshund, and then two weeks later we unexpectedly had to put down our 10yo lab. She explained everything, and made our dogs so comfortable through the process. I will never ever use a vet clinic again. She follows up with you after everything is completed, and she will respond anytime day or night if you need anything. She has this calming presence about her, and we can’t recommend her enough.
5.0Jun 21 2025 by Elizabeth G. Dr. Gordon was so compassionate at a time when we were stressed and heartbroken. She came in and made the entire experience as comfortable as possible given the situation. I would 10/10 recommend her in the future
5.0Jun 01 2024 by Debra T Meeting someone for the first time under such sad circumstances has the potential to be quite uncomfortable for all involved. Dr Gordon was caring, kind and empathic. This allowed me to grieve my loss in an accepting, unhurried environment. She took particular care to insure our sweet Hobie was comfortable and was able to cross the rainbow bridge in the love and embrace of his human, he so kindly adopted years before. Thank you, Dr Gordon.
5.0Apr 12 2024 by andrea k Dr. Gordon was so patient, kind, and empathetic. To both us, and our sweet girl as she crossed the rainbow bridge🌈💜 So grateful to tuck her in and give her the peaceful farewell, comfortable in her home, like she deserved.
5.0Jul 08 2025 by Amanda E. We appreciate the kindness and thoughtfulness of Dr. Gordon. She gave us all the time we needed with Charlie during his final time here with us. Her warm heart and compassion helped us during this difficult time. I would recommend her if you are looking for a peaceful time to spend with your pet before they pass over that rainbow bridge.
