Dr. Gersten was very sweet from the moment she waked it. It was clearly a somber moment and she was a true professional. She treated our dog with care and compassion and allowed for a smooth process.

Dr. Gersten was so kind, caring and professional as our 19 year old beloved cat was suffering from liver disease was put to rest. She fully explained the entire procedure to us and answered all of our questions. It was such a relief that Dr. Gersten is a come to your home Vet which allowed for a very quiet and peaceful passing of our beloved cat. My wife and I fully recommend Dr. Gersten and Codapet. Thanks so much Dr. Gersten for your caring and multiple follow ups checking on us.

Review by Dr. Diana Gersten

I want to thank CodaPet - At Home Pet Euthanasia in Fort Lauderdale for their service. As one can imagine, this is not the easiest decision to make. I did not feel pressured not compelled to make this choice other than it was the right thing to do for Buddha. He was a wonderful dog and I believe he was given a proper, professional, and warming send off. I personally want to extend a thank you to Dr. Diana Gersten. The whole process was difficult for myself on an emotional and spiritual level; however, with Dr. Gersten's caring and gentle approach, i felt as ease. She was great with communication, confirmation in Buddha's condition and walked me through the steps accordingly. With Buddha having issues walking, having an organization willing to come to the house on 24 hours notice was a huge help and sigh of relief. I can not speak for other organizations, but if one needs an in home treatment, I would highly recommend CodaPet - At Home Pet Euthanasia in Fort Lauderdale.
