Dr Abdul was very kind and compassionate. She explained to us the process as we went, giving us time to process before proceeding. We are grateful we had her to guide us through this hard time and appreciate the care she gave our beloved Rascal.

She did an excellent job and was very professional and calming throughout. She made sad last moments with our beloved dog easier. Our dog was comforted and did not experience discomfort. Highly recommend.

Dr. Hamid was a consummate professional. Her expert care was invaluable to us during Swayze’s end of life care. She was a kind and calm presence for all of us. Swayze’s appointment was so peaceful. There was no doubt that he was comfortable until the end. I cannot recommend this service more.

It was very hard to lose my beautiful Medusa but she went very peacefully. Dr. Cherissa was very soft spoken and explained every step in great detail. This procedure was done at home which is why my Dusa didn't suffer.

Dr Abdul was incredible. Her compassion and kindness will never be forgotten. We are very thankful to have had the option of at home euthanasia for our precious Foxy.

Dr Hamid was an angel sent to Holly and I when we really needed one. She assisted Holly on her way back to her spiritual home with such grace, compassion, and love. Thank you so much Dr Hamid

Dr. Abdul is a very kind, caring, and understanding veterinarian. She treated our family with respect and gave us comfort that our pet’s last few moments would be easy for him. Dr. Abdul was able to calmly explain the procedure and review and confirm our after-procedure requests. She gave our pet the quiet, at-home passing he deserved. We also appreciate Dr. Abdul’s choice of Emerson’s Pet Crematorium as they were also very kind and thoughtful.

This was the first time having to say goodbye to a pet. My pup had declined quickly on Thanksgiving morning. I didn’t even know if there would be any options to do anything that day or if I’d have to wait until the next day to do anything. I am very thankful for Dr. Cherissa. She was very kind and compassionate. She explained what the process would look like and gave us plenty of time for our goodbyes. Thank you again for your service.

Dr Hamid’s care of us, Xochi’s K9 sisters, and most importantly of Xochi was exceptional. She came to our home and spent quality time with us. She did a complete assessment of Xochi. Her advanced age and associated health challenges were just too much for our Sweet Xochi to have to endure any more. Then when we were all ready, she helped our Xochi with the most peaceful, compassionate “passing on” that I have ever witnessed (K9 or human). I am a retired nurse and lover of rescued K9’s all my life, so I have witnessed many. I felt that the hug she gave us after it was all over was truly a genuine one. In summary, Dr Hamid was an Angel of Mercy for Xochi and our family. I would highly recommend her care to everyone.

Dr Hamid is an extremely kind and gracious woman. She lovingly and sensitively walked us through our goodbye to Ripley. She made a sad bittersweet event actually feel full of love. I would highly recommend her services to anyone facing a difficult goodbye to a well loved pet.

Making the decision to end our beloved Cabbage's suffering was one of the hardest decisions we had to make as a family. She was only 6 years old and had been fighting advanced kidney disease for about 6 months. We had scheduled euthanasia with our vet for Monday morning. On Saturday, our sweet girl was in so much pain we knew that it could not wait until Monday morning. I called Coda and Dr. Hamid was able to come to our home within a few hours. Her calming presence made the experience as easy as it could be under the circumstances. I highly recommend Coda and Dr. Hamid for anyone facing the loss of a pet. Allowing Cabbage to pass peacefully at home surrounded by her family was the best decision we could have made.

Very patient, kind and understanding. Dr. Cherissa Abdul Hamid explains the process well. She came to my home earlier than the appointment because she cares immensely. She wanted to make sure our boys last moments were peaceful.

Dr. Hamid was wonderful in my time of sadness and stress from having my 13 year old dog put down. She was very through which made this process go more smoothly. I loved my dog so very much and she was very kind and understanding.

This was our first experience with at home pet euthanasia and we are so happy that it was recommended to us. Our sweet boy Kuma, became terrified of the vet in his later years but this option enabled him to be totally at ease for the whole process. As heartbreaking as it is to lose him we are so grateful we could offer him the comfort of his favorite spot in the yard surrounded by all his familiar smells and people. Dr. Abdul was wonderful and understanding in every way, we were glad to have her help through this process.
