Review by Dr. Diana Gersten

Even though we have had to do this before with our pets during the years, it's never easy. You have to look at the quality of life of your pet and then let go. Dr. Gersten was very kind and calming with her mannerisms and made the journey less stressful. I recommend her to you and your pet.

Review by Dr. Diana Gersten

In the past two years we have lost both of our dearly loved pet cats to chronic Kidney disease. One was 16 years old, her brother, the second and more recent loss was 18 years. the euthanasia necessary to relieve suffering in their final days was an unwelcome but expected additional personal trauma. Their usual veterinarian's office was very familiar with the sister and brother cats and with our personal emotions, and suggested CodaPet, in the home euthanasia, as an option for Zorro. That is how we met Dr. Gersten. We made a home appointment so that the surroundings, the home, and our being able to hold and comfort Zorro would be possible. It is never easy to say goodbye no matter how necessary. Dr. Gersten was the very best , arriving at our home at the planned time, tending to our very ill cat, and for supporting my wife and I during that difficult time. Much better than a dash to a vets office amidst rush and confusion . She was also able to provide services for a cremation which was an added and ultimately highly appreciated service. My wife and I are very pleased with our experience and highly recommend Doctor Diana.

We could not have asked for a better way to honor our Kaos, she was so respectful and kind to our feelings and did the most to make sure we felt informed and supported to help him transition to the rainbow bridge 🌈 thank you so much ❤️

Horrible to have to do, but the vet coming to our house made the process less traumatic for my dog. She got to pass at home surrounded by those who love her in her same familiar spot. The process was quick and the doctor was caring.
