What pet parents are saying

It’s still to hard to express but I will say she was very loving and caring. She explained everything and never rushed me. 10 of 10. I would rate her. Im so glad I could do this a home, a wonderful service that allowed privacy and peace.

For Any Pet Parent Considering in home Euthanasia please use Codapet and Dr. Diana Gersten. I have had to put many pets to sleep over the years. And recently learning that this service exsited changed my life. I will always do in home Euthanasia. It was such a peaceful Beautiful passing for my Baby girl Bettylu. Thats all i wanted for her, In her home in her bed with her blanket while i held her. I was the last human she saw on this earth.And The compassion and understanding Dr. Gersten showed us was second to none. She made a very difficult time easier. Thank you to Dr. Gersten and Codapet for the amazing services and care you provide.

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.

Dr. Diana Gersten came to our home to help our pup, Thor, cross over the rainbow bridge. She's professional, compassionate and down-to-earth. She made this sad experience the best we could have hoped for. I highly recommend using her.

Pet euthanasia done the right way, we didn’t want to make the difficult decision that it was time to let go of our elderly dog but Dr Diana Gersten at CodaPet made the process as stress free as possible for us & our dog. From the ease of booking the service on line that gave us time to make the last few days as memorable as possible, to the communication before the appointment was gentle & supportive. When meeting Dr Diana Gersten in person she was very kind & compassionate walking us through the process, there was no pressure to rush & she sensed when to step back & give us time & space in our own home, our dog was calm & comfortable in his bed when she arrived & remained so throughout & that was perfect. Even though it’s one of the hardest things we have had to do I wouldn’t change a thing & would highly recommend the service without hesitation.
