What pet parents are saying

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.

Dr. Gersten made a sad and traumatic experience better for our family and pet. She was kind and informative along with very compassionate. I recommend it to anyone going through this terrible situation.

Dr. Diana Gersten was absolutely wonderful. She was very responsive through text message, and helped me make the tough decision of putting my sweet kitty boy to rest. Her presence was very calming and she explained everything as she did it. She gave us as much time as we needed to love and kiss on him before she took him. She delivered his body to Monarch Pet Memorial Services where they did an absolutely beautiful job memorializing my baby. Thank you Dr. Gersten for making an awful situation bearable, and for your kindness, compassion, and patience with me.

Review by Dr. Diana Gersten

After a shocking cancer diagnosis and a rapid decline in health we were devastated to have to say goodbye to our sweet Koda. Our appt was for the following morning but Dr Gersten was so kind when I called her and came the afternoon before (even though there were no openings). She explained each step in a delicate & compassionate way and gave our whole family ample time to be with him while she stepped away here and there. We can’t thank her enough for everything and we were comforted to know he would be in good hands afterwards.
