Dr. Gary Hsia

Dr. Gary was our vet for two of our dogs over the last six months. His kindness and ability to calm even an excitable little dog was a true blessing for us. He helped to create a beautiful passing, and their follow up with returning the ashes was also so respectful and kind. I have already recommended them too many friends for their future needs.

Dr. Hsia was very professional and gentle with our Lola. He made the experience very easy for our family. His patience with our pet and allowing the kids time with her made it so much easier. He has a calming presence that makes a difficult process easier to handle. He was a great match for us and our pet.

We recently used Dr. Gary to bid farewell to my beloved dog, Monkey. This dog was THE best dog (everyone says it and everyone is right). He saw me through every moment of my adult life- joy, trauma, sickness, and grief- and I was adamant that he have the best possible experience to cross the rainbow bridge. He deserved the world and more, so in my soul I felt certain that in home euthanasia would be the best option for his comfort. I underestimated what a truly peaceful, stress-free experience it would be. Dr. Gary was incredibly kind, patient, and professional, and truly cared for Monkey’s comfort from beginning to end. Opting to put Monkey down in the comfort of his home and his mama’s lap alleviated so much anxiety for our dog, and for each member of our family. Dr. Bethany was equally lovely to work with when she returned our boy’s ashes to us. I would recommend this service, and Dr. Gary and Dr. Bethany, to anyone who has to make the gut-wrenching decision to bid farewell to their pet.

If you’re considering in-home euthanasia, Dr. Gary Hsia is the person you want by your side. I had to say goodbye to my Great Dane — my lifelong best friend — and I truly couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate, peaceful experience. Dr. Hsia’s empathy was immediate and genuine. He walked into my home with calm, care, and deep respect for the bond I had with my dog. He didn’t rush anything. He gave us space, time, and dignity. The entire process felt gentle and sacred, which is exactly what my best friend deserved after a lifetime of unconditional love. If you’re facing this heartbreaking decision, know that it can be peaceful — and Dr. Hsia made that possible. I wouldn’t do it any other way. Forever grateful, —Erica

Dr. Gary Hsia showed empathy and compassion when we had to make the heartbreaking decision of putting our 13-year old pug out of his pain/suffering from cancer. Dr. Hsia handled Rocky with much care and attention to his every detail and need. The experience of being able to provide love and comfort for Rocky in his own home by utilizing this method made this already difficult experience of his passing, just a little bearable. The card and the delivery of Rocky's remains made it personal. - Thank you Dr. Hsia (and Bethany) - Jodi W.

Dr. Hsia was very kind and compassionate. He explained every step of the process and he gave me plenty of space and time to say goodbye to my loved one. It was the first time I have ever had to euthanize a pet at home, and I will never take another pet of mine to a vet to euthanize them ever again. The peace and less stress for such a painful thing, was well worth having this done in the home my girl and I shared.

We recently made the very difficult decision to help our beloved 18-year-old cat, Phoebe, cross the rainbow bridge. Wanting this to be as peaceful as possible—for her and for our family—we invited Dr. Gary Hsia into our home to guide us through her final farewell. From the beginning, Dr. Gary was kind, compassionate, and communicative. He made sure we had all the information we needed ahead of time and was incredibly respectful of our wishes. During the visit, he talked us through every step of the process with care and gave us all the time we needed to say our goodbyes. I can’t recommend Dr. Gary highly enough. Saying goodbye to a pet is never easy, but being able to do so in the comfort of your own home, surrounded by love and familiarity, made a world of difference. We are grateful for his presence and professionalism during such an emotional time.

Dr Gary was so kind and gentle with our sweet Lola. From the moment he came to our front door, he made sure we knew he was there for as long as we needed him to be. Never in a hurry, Dr Gary allowed us to spend as much time as we needed to comfort our baby and love on her. The manner in which he delivered his care was professional and dignified. We definitely recommend home euthanasia, because although difficult for us to say our last goodbyes, Lola had us with her for her last breath. In her bed, in her home. We received emails and texts for a few days after from Codapet and that really helped us with the grieving process.

As our large breed dog entered his senior years we knew when the day came we wanted an at home euthanasia option. The day came where he could not get up on his own so we reached out to Dr. Gary. Dr. Gary was professional, patient, and considerate the entire way through. He discussed my dog's health with great care. He never once rushed any step of the process, allowing me to decide when I was ready for the next step. Letting our dog go was the most painful thing I have ever had to do, but with the aid of Dr. Gary I believe it was a gift to our sweet boy. He was home, in his bed, with his toys, cuddled up with mom.

I cannot say enough positive praise to Dr. Gary. He made time, showed all the care and compassion during an extremely difficult time. Not only that but showed the most love and sensitivity to my pet during this time of his passing. I know this cannot be easy on Dr. Gary however, the amount of heart, patience and knowledge was more than felt. A pets passing is an emotional time however handling it with the love and care along with professionalism with the upmost concern for the 4 legged family member will forever be appreciated by me and family. When faced with a difficult choice, having Dr. Gary and The peace at home will always be recommended by me. Thank you Dr. Gary with all my heart.

I recently had to make the very painful decision to choose in home pet euthanasia for my beautiful black lab. Cancer is a total train wreck of a disease, and my dog was in horrendous pain. Dr. Gary was the most calm and collected person. He took the time to explain the process, and to help with simple better care options/advice during my dog's last days. The process was quick, but not rushed. Dr. Gary was kind and gave my family plenty of time and space to process what was happening. As much as I wish this service was never needed, Codapet has found the way to make this horrible process a little easier, and I appreciate them for doing so. Thank you Dr. Gary and Codapet

On 5/7/25, our 13.5 year old Lab, Max was taking a turn for the worst, and began to suffer, after 5 days of unable to eat or drink on his own. We decided the most humane thing to do was to help Max pass on. After contacting other Vets we have worked with and unable to get anyone put to our house for at least over 24 hours, we found Dr. Gary on Codapet at 6:00 AM and he was able to come out at 10:00 AM. The scheduling processing online was easy and quick. Dr. Gary contacted us within couple hours to confirm the appointment. Dr. Gary arrived at our house early, and was professional and respectfully supportive. He took time to exam our boy Max and explain his assessment and the procedure to us. It was a difficult and emotional time for my wife and I, but Dr. Gary had really made it comforting and supportive for us. Dr. Gary demeanor was really of someone who cares for animals. Dr.Gary had provided us ample time to say goodbye to our beloved boy Max. Once we decided that is was time, Dr. Gary began the procedure. Max's pain eased quickly and easily. Max drifted into sleep, then passed on peacefully and quietly. Once Max passed on, Dr. Gary suggested that we bring our second dog, who we had kept at our neighbors house during Max's passing, back to the house to say goodbye to Max. Dr. Gary explained that it would help our second dog from any confusion, if he came home and suddenly his brother was no longer there. We thought the suggestion was very thoughtful and kind. We appreciate that very much. We have had other pets gone through euthanasia in the past at the vet office, but this at-home passing with the assistance of Dr. Gary was definitely most positive, peaceful, and kind! Euthanizing a loving pet is never an easy decision, but with this experience with Dr. Gary helping our beloved Max to pass so peacefully at home, we truly believed that it was the most loving and humane thing we could have done for our Max! Thank you Dr. Gary!

Dr. Gary Hsia was extremely hands on with us. Our girl was young and initially he gave us some dietary and medical assistance to try and alleviate her struggle somewhat and prolong her life. He even went into my pantry and helped me with her dietary requirements. In spite of this follow through not helping her circumstances, I appreciate that he gave me an opportunity to truly say I had tried everything and that putting her down was the correct thing to do. When he returned on his next visit. He was calm; spoke soothingly (out of respect for my girl.) Made sure she was lying comfortably and gave us time to say goodbye. He was well prepared for every step of the procedure. The aftercare has also been fantastic. We received a beautiful card from him and the overall communication through texting has been very good. I am so glad that my girl got to spend her last minutes around people at home and with a doctor who cared.

Dr. Hsia was the kindest, most considerate, understanding vet. He explained everything to us step by step. Let us proceed with each step at our own pace. Didn't pressure, didn't rush. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Hsia on such a sad day in our life.

Dr. Gary was so kind and patient with us. Having To let go of our 18 year old baby girl was hard, but the process was very peaceful. Thank you Dr. Gary.

As our large breed dog entered his senior years we knew when the day came we wanted an at home euthanasia option. The day came where he could not get up on his own so we reached out to Dr. Gary. Dr. Gary was professional, patient, and considerate the entire way through. He discussed my dog's health with great care. He never once rushed any step of the process, allowing me to decide when I was ready for the next step. Letting our dog go was the most painful thing I have ever had to do, but with the aid of Dr. Gary I believe it was a gift to our sweet boy. He was home, in his bed, with his toys, cuddled up with mom.

This is our second time using Coda Pet. When the difficult decision was made that our senior dog needed to be put down to rest we turned to Dr. Gary once again. He is the most gentle, kind and compassionate veterinarian. Our children were present and allowed to snuggle, comfort and say their goodbyes to our fur baby. We truly could ask for a better experience

It was a very sad day having to say good bye to our cat Slinky Malinky. But Dr. Hsia came to our house, and Slinky was calm and relaxed. We had time to say good bye and it was lovely to see how peaceful she was at the end. I highly recommend doing this at home to anyone who loves their pet an wants to make the end as dignified and peaceful as possible.

Dr. Hsia is the BEST! He is very understanding and caring and you can tell he loves animals! My 2 year old English Bulldog was suffering from some Neuro issues and had some aggression he was dealing with. It was such a difficult decision to have to put our Cody down for Behavioral Euthanasia. We knew he was not living his best life and he knew it also. We did not want him to suffer any longer. After months of training, medications, holistic approaches and much more we gave tried nothing seemed to work for him. We contacted Dr. Hsia’s office and from his team to the doctor we made the right decision. He did not even suffer one bit through the process. We never would want to call him again, but I definitely recommend him 100%! Thanh you again Dr. Gary for helping Cody! We cannot thank you enough!

Dr Gary responded to our needs last minute when we needed to put our Mochi down remotely on zoom. She went downhill so fast and we were so grateful to have his solid gentle presence while our daughter held mochi on zoom. He made her transition sacred and important and we felt his care from Australia, thank you Dr Gary

As difficult as the process of putting your pet down is, Dr. Gary made the process much easier. He was so kind and compassionate with us and our dog. You can tell he really cares about animals immensely. Being able to be there with our dog in our home where he is most comfortable was the silver lining of an awful situation. He was so much more comfortable than if we had taken him to a vet’s office. If I ever have to do this again, I would use Coda and Dr. Gary again.

Dr. Gary was very kind, compassionate and very caring in such a heartbreaking time of my life. Him and his wife were both very supportive and caring during my whole process of losing my Holly pup. I can’t thank them enough for the kind work they did for me and all the other families they help.

Dr Gary was very responsive, yet respectful during this challenging time when Finn required euthanasia. This was our second time in a couple years we have gone this route to prevent suffering and Dr Gary was able to explain everything and take of everything so we could just focus on make Finn comfortable as possible.♥️

Dr Gary was amazing. He offered to come early, which since it was clear our baby was suffering, we took him up on. He was so kind and thoughtful, and this week, offered to meet me with his pawprint closer to our home. If we end up in this situation again (hopefully we won't anytime soon, since ours are too young yet!), we will definitely reach out and highly recommend him to anyone else in a similar situation!

Dr Gary was amazing. His vibe was great from the start. We had our Kota Bear for 9 years and he was my baby! But having a Dr that is so calm and sweet made my whole family feel better about this awful situation. I was so happy to be able to do this at home. It was so much better for my Kota Bear. Thank you so much. I will always be grateful to Dr Gary. I would recommend you guys to everyone! ❤️

Dr. Hsia showed us the deepest compassion through the process and was very accommodating about our specific requests. I met him once at my vet office and knew when the time came I'd want him to accompany us. I'm so grateful he was available

Dr. Hsia made a very difficult situation much easier. I would highly recommend their services. I researched price and their at home service was comparable to a veterinarian's office. My dog didn't like going to the vet, so I didn't want to subject him to that stress. I was so pleased with Dr. Hsia and his wife Dr. Bethany Hsia. They were kind, compassionate and very thoughtful during this difficult time for my family.

Dr. Gary was just who we needed in our hardest time. He answered all questions and reassured us through the entire process while comforting our sorrow. The hardest part of being a pet owner is knowing when to say goodbye. And Dr. Gary made that transition for our beloved dog Cash as well as it could be. I’m thankful to be able to be by his side reminding him how much he was loved and how much he meant to our entire family during his peaceful passing in my arms. Just over the rainbow and forever in my heart, rest in peace Cash Michael.

Dr. Gary is by far the best choice for in home pet euthanasia. We’ve trusted Dr. Gary with the care of all three of our pug babies over the years. He is very compassionate and shows so much care and respect. In a time that’s beyond difficult we were thankful to have such a thoughtful and empathetic doctor. Thank you! Renée and Megan Cable

Dr Gary was so gentle and loving. He was thorough in explaining what was going to happen and gave me choices for the procedure. He was very patient and slow. My kitty was able to fall asleep in my arms. For what was happening Dr. Gary gave me a beautiful gift of love. Thank you so very much. I highly recommend Codapet. So much better at home.

The process of losing our beloved dog was so incredibly hard. Dr Hsia was gentle, kind and comforting which made this experience as peaceful as possible. I have shared his information with all my family and friends so they have the same opportunity to say goodbye to their pet in the comfort of their own home. He also delivered her ashes back to me, we never had to drive anywhere. We can’t thank him enough for the support he provided us.

We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Gary for helping our beloved cat, Lily, pass peacefully at home. Saying goodbye to a pet is never easy, but Dr. Gary made one of the most painful days of our lives feel gentler and more humane. From the moment he arrived, he treated Lily-and our whole family — with such compassion, kindness, and respect. He spoke softly, moved gently, and explained every step of the process with clarity and care. It was clear that this is more than just a job to him; he genuinely cares about the animals and the people who love them. We were able to hold Lily in her favorite blanket, in her favorite spot surrounded by the people who loved her most. There was no rush, no clinical coldness — only warmth, empathy, and space to grieve. Dr. Gary helped us give our girl the peaceful, dignified goodbye she deserved, and for that, we will always be thankful. If you're facing this heartbreaking decision, I can't recommend him enough. He gave us the gift of peace in a moment of sorrow, and we are forever grateful. The Brand Family

It’s always hard making the decision to put down your dog. Unfortunately this wasn’t my first time. Normally I also do not write reviews but my experience with Dr. Hsia will be a lasting one. Macy our 12 year old family dog got to eat scrambled eggs for breakfast and steak for lunch. All 3 of our other dogs got to lay next to her as the doctor did his thing. It was a very beautiful experience for the whole family. Thank you Dr. Hsia

Making the choice to do at home pet euthanasia was incredibly difficult; having to choose to say goodbye to my dog was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, but CodaPet made the whole process smooth and comforting for not just our Red but for our whole family as well. Dr.Gary was incredibly kind and compassionate, explaining the process thoroughly and giving us however much time we needed to send Red off. We were able to shower him with love and hold him in his final moments. We miss him so much, but I am certain he is truly at peace. Thank you so much to Dr.Gary and CodaPet.
