What pet parents are saying
Dr.Phillips was just wonderful and helped us through a really difficult time. She was very compassionate and was very focused on helping us understand the process of letting our sweet cat go. She gave us space to grieve and had so many suggestions and ideas for memory keeping. We are thankful we found her! Highly recommended.
A very caring and conscientious person. I waited until she was available to put one of our pets to sleep as she was so kind on a previous visit.
We couldn't have asked for a more compassionate person to help our senior puppers pass. We are so grateful to have been connected with someone that showed attentiveness, sensitivity and urgency for not only our pup, but us as well.
Diana was wonderful and kind and I am so grateful a service like this exists. My dog was able to enjoy his last day at home on the grass surrounded by comfort.
Dr. Diana Phillips made the transition from so easy for Jack and us. She reminded me that we may not want to wait until a desperate time when he could not breath. Thank you!
Dr. Diana Phillips was hands down absolutely amazing. Her warmth and empathy were exactly what my husband and I needed during a very difficult time. Her compassion was sooo appreciated.
Dr. Diana Phillips was knowledgeable, kind, gentle, and respectful. She made a horrific thing so much more bearable. She couldn't have been any better. We were lucky to have her doing the procedure.
She was very knowledgeable and very compassionate. I don’t know how what we had to do could have been made any easier than anyone other than her could’ve done.
Dr. Diana Phillips was so amazing during this process of in home pet euthanasia. We wanted to give our 13 year old doberman the most stress free, humane, and respectful last moments. We wanted to do this at home so that all four of us in our family as well as our other doberman were all able to say goodbye. We wanted our girl to be able to have the comfort of her own home as well as her own dog bed. We didn't want a sterile environment or strange smells to be her last moments. Dr. Phillips was professional, kind, caring and so gentle. She told us exactly what to expect before the process began and answered all of our questions. We were able to say goodbye to our girl with dignity and Dr. Phillips supported us the whole way through the experience. She didn't rush us but let us say goodbye in our way. Highly recommend Dr. Phillips during this very difficult time when it is time to say goodbye.
When Dr Phillips came in, Lucy was so happy that some one new had come to visit and pet her. She was completely relaxed. I appreciate that I didn’t have to force my cat 5into a carrier and fill her last hours with fear. Phillips was wonderful with Lucy and so very kind and supportive of my decision.
We are very satisfied with our CodaPet experience. Dr. Phillips was a godsend, providing the perfect solution to an agonizing situation. Our 14 year old Lab Pacey was afforded a dignified, peaceful passing at his spot in the kitchen (where he was always happily underfoot) without a moment's distress or pain. It's the hardest decision a dog's family ever makes, but we never doubted that it was the right one at the right time. We will be forever grateful for Dr. Phillips" gentle kindness. We'll see you on the other side, dear old Pacey. Such a good, good boy.
Dr. Phillips was amazing. She spent I’m with us understanding how much our precious Heidi meant to us. She went into detail about what the process was. I can ‘t imagine how she could have made such an emotional experience any more comfortable than what she did. We were blessed to have her be the one who helped our baby out of the pain she was in. Sincerely, The Foster Family
Dr. Phillips was wonderful. It was a difficult time for our family and when she showed up, she was so kind and thoughtful. She really cared for us while she helped us through this process. Our Remi was a beloved member of our family and deserved a peaceful passing. She offered that and much more.
Dr. Phillips was much more that someone there to perform a task and be on her way. First she was an awesome care giver to our dog Riley who was suffering with cancer. Dr. Phillips care extended way beyond Riley and included our entire family that had gathered for Riley's passing. Dr. Phillips professionalism was surpassed only by her compassion for all who were there. Thank You Dr. Phillips for being there for Riley and us. Rock & Dana
"Dr Diana Phillips is the most loving vet! She made the hardest day of my life so much better with her obvious empathy and loving nature! Losing the love of your life is so hard and having a very loving empathetic person there for you is wonderful! Thank you Dr Phillips!!! From the bottom of our hearts"
Absolutely wonderful. Dr. Phillips could not have been more kind. I’ll always remember her warmth and thoughtfulness. She made a difficult time as peaceful as possible.
I can’t say enough good things about Dr Diane Phillips. She helped us get through one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. It was such a relief that she came to the house so my dog didn’t have to go through the stress of going into the office. Thank you again Dr. Phillips! Lynda Young

I am so glad I chose CodaPet and the in-home euthanasia for my dog, Sophie. Dr. Diana Phillips was so kind and caring and explained all steps of the procedure. We felt much more comfortable being at home rather than at a clinic. At a difficult time like this anything that can reduce the stress is important.
Dr. Phillips did a wonderful job! She was professional ,caring, informative and comforting. Her disposition and experience are perfect for this line of work. We highly recommend her!
Dr. Phillips was kind and comforting and went above and beyond texting me throughout the night with medication help and advice to ease my dogs discomfort. She came hours earlier than our scheduled appointment when things escalated very quickly. She helped tremendously during a very difficult time and took wonderful care of my sweet girl Frankie.

Dr. Diana Phillips was exactly the right person for what was one of the most significant moments in our lives. I was so grateful for this service, that something like this exists , that Dr. Phillips was so careful and knowledgeable and kind with my friend. It was perfect.
How do you say a final goodbye to your family furbaby? Absolutely dreading having to make ‘that’ decision. Being referred to Dr. Diana Phillips was a Godsend. Dr. Phillips guided our family gently and patiently, answering all questions of the ‘at- home’ euthanasia process by putting our minds at ease and our emotions safely without doubts. Her soothing and compassionate nature made it incredibly peaceful for our family to surround our Lab, telling him past stories and assuring him it was alright to gain his wings. We are so grateful to have experienced such a peaceful passing. Thank you Dr. Phillips
Dr. Phillips was an amazing soul to have help us with our 14 year old love, Raleigh. I did it know such a service existed until we needed it. And with Raleigh’s quick decline, we were able to arrange his passing within 24 hours. Dr. Phillips took care of every detail and it was such a relief. Thank you so much for being with us and helping Raleigh - forever grateful.
Thank you Dr. Diana for helping Zena over the bridge peacefully it really meant a lot to us, you did everything perfectly from explaining the process to the little locket hair, it was still incredibly hard but you did great and made the process easier on us..
Dr.Phillips is a very kind and compassionate person. She was very thoughtful in explaining the process. She also allowed me all the time I needed with Daisey after her passing. She lovingly made a cast print of her paw and presented it to me. She made a difficult time better with her mindful presence and her expertise. Forever grateful ❤️
Dr. Diana Phillips provided compassionate care to our cat Nikita. Dr. Phillips was thorough as she communicated the steps that would aide in our cat’s passing. She was a calm presence in our home and treated our cat in a dignified and respectful manner. We are extremely grateful for the professional, kind, and compassionate care that Dr. Phillips provided.
I am a retired Hospice nurse. It was most important to me that my loving companion Daisey have a peaceful passing at home with me by her side. Dr. Diana Phillips was so supportive and an absolute blessing at such a difficult time. She compassionately walked me through the process each step of the way. Daisey indeed passed without discomfort or fear. I am forever grateful for this program. I very much appreciated the time she took and obtained a beauty keepsake of Daisey’s paw print. 🌈❤️
We did not know you could do euthanasia at home until my daughter told me. Jack loved being outside even though he was an inside dog. He had cancer for 2 years and let us know he was ready when he stayed outside day and night for the last 3 days of his life. Diana let us all sit is the front yard, and he passed away very peacefully. Much better than going to the vet, which most animals don't like anyway.
Dr.Phillips was the Angel that came to our home. Without her kindness and caring this experience would have been so heartbreaking for us. She is indeed an Angel that all animals need at this time in their life. Thank you from our hearts and Bookers
Dr. Phillips showed us and our beloved dog, Blockhead, the deepest compassion during one of the most painful moments of our lives. Her gentle presence and kindness brought comfort and peace, making an unbearable goodbye feel tender and dignified. We will always be grateful for the care and respect she gave our boy.
Dr. Phillips is so kind, caring, and gentle. She makes sure that you have all questions answered, and gives you the time needed to say goodbye to your beloved pet. She made sure our senior dog was as comfortable as possible and was just wonderful during a difficult time. I recommend her 1000%. She is such a kind and caring person.
Dr. Diane was awesome in helping our sweet girl Molly Brown. She was kind and compassionate to both Molly and her brother Tommy as we all went through the process together. It was truly a blessing to have her leave while still in her bed at home. Forever grateful…
We cannot say enough about the compassion and care we received from Dr. Phillips during one of the most difficult moments of our lives. From the time she entered our home, she was truly heaven-sent. She thoroughly explained every step of the process, which brought us so much comfort and peace. She was incredibly gentle with our sweet boy, Skipper, who was always so anxious, and treated him with the utmost care and respect. She gave my husband and me all the time we needed to say our goodbyes in the comfort of our home, never rushing us for a moment. From beginning to end, her presence was calm, kind, and truly angelic. We will never be able to fully express how grateful we are for such an intimate and peaceful experience. It meant everything to us.
Dr. Phillips has truly met her calling. She has such a kind and caring soul and made a difficult situation so much more bearable. She treated us and our dog Chloe with the utmost respect and kindness. I will forever be grateful that she was the one that assisted us through this difficult time.
Dr Phillips was wonderful with our baby. She get him pain relief medication so he could be comforted while she walked us through the decisions and overall process. His comfort was her priority. Saying goodbye is painful, doing it with a caring partner who understood what we were going through made it less difficult. I would highly recommend.
One of the hardest decisions that we have ever made, helping our sweet 17 years old cat go. Dr Diana Phillips was like an angel to guide us through the process, absolutely caring and loving. She answered every question and took great care of our Kitty. In the middle of a hard situation, Kitty left peacefully and surrounded by much love. We highly recommend Dr Diana Phillips if you’re thinking about in home euthanasia for your furry loved one. Thank you Doc! 🙏🏽🐾🧡
Diana was caring and took her time to explain the process to me. She is one of the most amazing human beings I have ever dealt with. She put Da Beats (our pup) in a soft bed for the ride home after the process. She explained that she talks to the pup as she drives to still give all the positive energy she can even though our Sweetie Beats had moved on to her next healthy life. Diana allowed our other dogs time to sniff the Sweetie Beats as a rite of passage for all. She made this experience peaceful. We are forever grateful. It was a stress free process for me and our other dogs. Thank you Diana and the whole staff for being so kind!
Dr Phillips was amazing. Our Layla went down quickly over a weekend, and we couldn’t find anyone to come help give her rest until later in the week (which would have been terrible as Layla was already scared and unable to move much). Dr Phillips went out of her way on a Sunday evening, and drove over an hr (when she was not even on call), to come and help our sweet old girl. Dr Phillips was such a blessing! She explained everything in as little or as much detail as we wanted, and showed our dear pet of nearly a decade and a half, so much compassion. If ever you find yourself in the sad predicament of needing help saying goodbye to a beloved pet, Dr Phillips is who you should get in touch with ❤️
This vet was the most compassionate, understanding & had the patience of a saint. Her personal touches, like arranging our little girl in a small bed with blanket made her look like she was sleeping. She even allowed me to put a black eye Susan in her hair when she left our home. Having your pet put down in the home, if you ever have to do it is the most wonderful way to say goodbye. I want to work for CodaPet. Everyone has you and your pet first!!!!
Losing a pet is never easy, but the ability to end your pets life peacefully at home is a savior. In the past I have always brought my dog to the vet, and it’s not something I ever will do again. Dr. Diana Phillips is a wonderful person. She understands this is a difficult time for both the pet and their owner. She genuinely cares. I was able to say goodbye to my girl Lucy in the comfort of my home, and she was treated lovingly and gracefully.
Diana is very carrying , comforting and knowledgeable with this process. Letting go of a pet is never easy, but Diana made me feel that this was the right decision for our dear Sabi.
She was very business like - and talked a lot of small talk through the agonizing process . I do not recall her ever saying she was sorry for my loss . And she caught my dog off guard with the first sedative and he screamed at the top of his lungs (he never did that with needles ) that was the last thing I remember him doing - then he wen out . Sad last memory . I appreciate what these vets do, but if your empathy is gone , it’s time for evaluation . This was the hardest thing I have ever done . Coda pets charged me 50.00 for her to shave a spot on his tail and give it to me . I will be leaving a public review soon .
My husband and I thought Dr. Phillip was very professional, compassionate, personal to our needs and took care of Sterling with dignity. We’re so thankful she came to us and helped Sterling to leave his physical home peacefully to go to his Heavenly Forever Home.
On the most heartbreaking day, Dr. Phillips was kind, compassionate and truly concerned for Cole’s final moments to be comfortable. Dr. Phillips was also concerned for our family and helped ensure that our final moments with our beautiful boy, Cole, were tranquil and she gave us all the time we needed. We are grateful for her kindness and professionalism.
If you are hesitant about doing at home pet euthanasia, don’t be. This was the most wonderful experience for our family. Dr. Phillips was absolutely amazing, she took her time and answered all our questions and never rushed us with Mabel. This does cost a little more but it’s worth every penny! I’m sorry that I didn’t know about this service sooner. Doing this at home, I feel more at peace with our baby passing. Thank you Dr. Phillips💖❤️🩹 we love and miss you Ms. Mabel💝🐶
On one of the worst days, Dr. Phillips was gentle, caring reassuring. My Cole was my best friend and gave me unwavering love and devotion. Dr. Phillips helped me help my darling Cole be released from pain with the upmost compassion. Cole and I will meet at the Rainbow Bridge and continue our outings that we lived so much. Thank you so very much,Dr. Phillips.
Dr. Phillips made this process so much easier for us letting go of Bella in our home. She ensured Bella passed peacefully and handled the entire process with dignity and respect. Highly recommend her to assist in this difficult decison
Diana was very gentle and very compassionate during the whole process. She explained every step to us. I hope we’ll have Chewy with us for much longer, but will use Diana again when it’s his time. She even explained to us how Chewy would react and she was spot on! It wasn’t a bad experience since we knew Misty was suffering.
