Dr. Gersten provides a get service! She came in and took her time explaining the process there was no rush to start. I had time with my baby to get comfortable with the situation and time with him after it was done as well. The cremation service was wonderful too. I love the box/urn it has his name and paw print engraved, clay print and lock of hair. Strongly recommend!

Dr. Gersten was extremely kind, patient and compassionate during the entire process. I felt very comfortable with her and the way she carefully explained everything. My expectations were exceeded today when I received my memorial package. I will definitely recommend Coda Pet and Dr. Gersten to family and friends!

In the past two years we have lost both of our dearly loved pet cats to chronic Kidney disease. One was 16 years old, her brother, the second and more recent loss was 18 years. the euthanasia necessary to relieve suffering in their final days was an unwelcome but expected additional personal trauma. Their usual veterinarian's office was very familiar with the sister and brother cats and with our personal emotions, and suggested CodaPet, in the home euthanasia, as an option for Zorro. That is how we met Dr. Gersten. We made a home appointment so that the surroundings, the home, and our being able to hold and comfort Zorro would be possible. It is never easy to say goodbye no matter how necessary. Dr. Gersten was the very best , arriving at our home at the planned time, tending to our very ill cat, and for supporting my wife and I during that difficult time. Much better than a dash to a vets office amidst rush and confusion . She was also able to provide services for a cremation which was an added and ultimately highly appreciated service. My wife and I are very pleased with our experience and highly recommend Doctor Diana.
