Dr. Doolittle was very sensitive, gentle and respectful to me and my beloved Jasmine. He was reassuring that this was the right time to ease her pain and help her transition. I’m so grateful to Dr. Doolittle for his kindness.

We thank Dr Kemper from our hearts for coming to our house to release Pantera from end stage kidney disease. She was so compassionate and caring, told us exactly what to expect from each step. The procedure was fast and Pantera did not feel any pain. We still are in mourning, BUT we know we did the right thing for our sweet lil kitty and companion of 20 years. Thank you, Dr Kemper. You are a bright Light.

My Girl Chloe was a cherished family member. Unfortunately, her health had declined and we had to make a life ending decision that was very upsetting for everyone. We could not bear to take her anywhere to have the euthanasia done. We thought it was important to have this done at home where she is most comfortable. The in-home pet euthanasia was done by Dr. Karen Duncan. We had not met Karen, but when she came, she immediately put us at ease. She took her time with Chloe, and was very compassionate and understanding. She was here with us for at least an hour and explained the process in detail allowing time for us to absorb the procedure as needed. She then wrapped Chloe up in a warm blanket and transported her with TLC. I cannot say enough about Karen and the process that was done at our house. It gave us complete privacy, a special time to spend with Chloe and the opportunity to send her off in a very quiet, compassionate, and cherished way. Karen is obviously a special person to provide a service for those families having separation anxiety from their cherished pets. We appreciate all that was done to help us send Chloe off in a quiet and dignified way. We would highly recommend this, if you want that special time helping that cherished family member cross the Rainbow Bridge!

Thank you, CodaPet, for helping make one of the most heartbreaking moments—saying goodbye to my sweet pup Mia—a little more bearable. Dr. Keri was incredibly compassionate and supportive throughout the entire process. She gently explained each step of the procedure, helping me understand what was happening and what to expect. What meant the most, though, was that it didn’t feel like just a service or a job to her. She took the time to ask about Mia, to learn what made her special, and to truly honor her memory. Thank you for being there for me—and for so many others—during such a difficult time. Your care and empathy mean more than words can express.

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 .
