I truly appreciate having an in-home euthanasia option when faced with a suffering pet. I liked the CodaPet electronic intake form because I didn’t have to struggle through that process telephonically, struggling through my tears and sobbing. I was offered an opportunity to discuss directly with Dr Gersten the day I booked the appointment and appreciated that so much. We connected the morning of my appointment again at my request and she was great and communicative. I’ve sadly been through this before but when she arrived she made sure she let us know what to expect and was very skilled with my pup, Roxie and informed and supported us as we comforted Roxie throughout. I had selected private cremation during the intake process and she confirmed my selections, even crediting a duplicate selection I had made and paid for. It made this heart wrenching need easier and let my Roxie breathe her last breath, and her heart to beat its last beat in the peace of our home while we held and comforted her for the last time. Thank you. We’re very appreciative of everything.

Dr. Gersten was a real professional to help us through the difficult time of putting our 12-yr-old poodle to sleep. Her manner was most caring and sympathetic. She also was experienced and fully prepared to handle our needs. We certainly recommend her to everyone in our position with a beloved pet when this time comes.

To have our last moments with our precious dog at home, no stress of the car ride, other animals and people around was absolutely priceless. I believe my dog was grateful as well. He acted like a puppy just moments before the Dr. came and readily surrendered onto his blanket and my lap when the time came. As painful as is was to lose him, I wouldn’t have done it any other way. Thank you !!!

Dr. Diana Gersten was absolutely amazing. She was so kind and caring during the entire process. I had no idea CodaPet existed and I am so thankful I found them. The afterlife services they provided were exceptional and I was able to bring my best friend back home to his final resting place.

As hard as a process of choosing when is the right time to put your pet to sleep is, I can say our vet and coda pet made that process much easier. Our beloved dog was able to remain in the comfort of her own home without stress and anxiety. It was a peaceful process for her and the care and consideration the vet had for my feelings and time were greatly appreciated. I received her ashes back much quicker than expected and the package was just what I hope for. Thank you for everything.
