We want to express deepest gratitude for the extraordinary compassion and care Dr. Keri showed during a difficult time. Her professionalism, kindness, and empathy were evident in every interaction The comfort she gave our Dewey and the support she offered us, went far beyond medical care. Dr. Keri made a heartbreaking experience a little more bearable with her compassion and care.

In home pet euthanasia is so much less stressful for your pet and yourself. Dr. Lisa Littlejohn did an outstanding job in comforting us and administering pain medicine. In our case once the pain medicine was administered our sweet baby Rufus passed quickly. We were able to have Rufus outside in his favorite spot laying in the grass. We sat with him in the grass and she administed the pain medicine. He passed peacefully right there with us loving on him. She gave us time with him alone then brought a basket to place him in. She took him to be cremated and will contact us when his ashes are ready to be picked up. I would highly recommend this experience over taking your furry family member to the vet clinic.

Daniela from CodaPet was wonderful during what was a hard time for our family. She was professional and showed knowledge of pet wellness and illness, further reassuring us of the decision we made. Putting your loved family pet down is never an easy decision, but she helped us feel confident it was the right call for Lexi who was beginning to suffer with age. Throughout the whole appointment, she put our dog first and made sure Lexi was relaxed, comfortable, and surrounded by love. Beyond that, she came into our home in what was a difficult situation and helped us during this period of grieving. I am grateful for Daniela and Codapet, and that Lexi received their care during her last moments.

When we found out that our dog Hercules was diagnosed with Lymphoma and given only weeks to live, we were devastated! He was only 4 years old and was such a good dog. I was terrified of the idea of euthanizing my baby. I couldn't imagine that my dog's last moment was going to be at the Vet's office. A friend of mine told me about in-home pet euthanasia and explained every detail of their experience. Although our hearts were torn, we decided that not only was it the best service for our family, but it was also the best for Hercules. Everything was explained so well, step by step, in a manner in which our children were comfortable with saying goodbye to their friend at home. Each last moment that was spent with him was filled with sadness, joy, and hope. We were honored to be there for him as he transitioned. Although we were sad to let him go, we were happy that he met a peaceful and dignified end. We decided to have Herculese cremated and brought back home. I received a beautiful urn and my fur baby will be at home with me forever. I highly recommend Dr Briell Dzierga at CodaPet!

On Sunday we made the appointment for Friday. Monday/Tuesday we noticed Tinkerbelle's condition seemed to be declining and asked Dr. Kemper if she could come sooner. She found (made) time on Wednesday for an earlier appointment and we really appreciated that. We liked her friendly professional approach, explaining the process and options in the details of how and where to perform the euthanasia. We think she carefully relieved any pain that Tinkerbelle had and gently put her to sleep. We liked that she wrapped Tinkerbelle up in a basket with her head exposed for final viewing and goodbye. Seem that our other cat misses Tinkerbelle too. Thank you.

As difficult an experience as our in-home euthanasia appointment was, CodaPet was compassionate and helpful throughout the entire process, and relieved the stress around the logistical and administrative part of saying goodbye to a pet and friend. There are not enough positive words to say about Dr. Larsen. She was highly communicative and available leading up to the appointment, arrived on time, and handled the business side of things in a very respectful and professional manner. Her bedside manner and attentiveness to our feelings and wishes were top-shelf. She handled our pet with care, empathy, and respect, which was greatly appreciated. Dr. Larsen definitely made this a little more bearable, and we are grateful for her compassion and professionalism.

Dr. Briell Dzierga is an angel. We had to say goodbye to our sweet 20yr old kitty, Belle, two weeks ago. Dr. Dzierga was more amazing and wonderful than I could have wished for. I can't even put into words. She did not rush us during the process. It was a peaceful process. We are still grieving but Dr. Dzierga was the most caring person I've ever met and, when it comes time for our other senior kitties, I will be calling Dr. Dzierga.

Deciding to let our sweet cat, Toby, go was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. But it was clear his cancer was beating him, and there was nothing more we could do for him. We couldn't stand to see him suffer. I called "Codapet". The person I spoke with on the phone was so kind and considerate. She took all of my information, and thankfully, Dr. Lisa Fieg was able to come to our home that afternoon. She was very calm and gentle with our Toby. She explained the procedure well and made sure we didn't have any questions. We sincerely appreciated the time she gave us to hold him during the process. She even stepped out of the room, allowing us to be with him alone, after he passed. Everything went very smoothly and took about an hour. I had a friend who put her dog to sleep at home. She kept telling me it was a "beautiful experience!" I'm not going to lie. It wasn't "beautiful" to me. There was no way around it being anything other than a gut-wrenching experience. We were losing something we loved dearly! I cried so hard, I could barely see! I would have given an arm and a leg not to have needed to make that call that day! But, it had to be done. For that reason, this company, Codapet, and Dr. Lisa were a Godsend. I would highly recommend them to anyone facing an end-of-life decision for their pet. Everyone we came in contact with was sincere, respectful, beyond caring, and professional. Everything was timely and efficient, but never felt rushed or robotic. That day, 4/21/25, was our worst nightmare, but Codapet and Dr. Fieg made it the best that it could be. She got us through it and gave our sweet boy the comfortable release he needed, while he was held by two people who loved and adored him. For that, we are eternally grateful.

With tremendous heartache and anguish, on Thursday, June 26th, I had to say goodbye to my best friend and soul mate Kaya Sletzinger. She was a 10 year 3 month old Leonberger, who had been struggling with some health issues, most notably arthritis. If you have been through this before as a dog owner, then you know how burdensome it is. If you are a more recent dog owner, and haven’t been through this experience, it may seem unfathomable. I have been around dogs for all of my life, and I know that they’re absolutely the best things in this world. The only downside is that they don’t live long enough. Unfortunately I have experienced having to go to the veterinary hospital to put my best friend to sleep, but the much better option, is having a doctor come to your house, and doing this procedure at home. This method is called in-home pet euthanasia. I have chosen this recourse when I put my awesome Leonberger Nadja to sleep in 2013, I Love You Nadja! And just a little over a week ago, when I truly believe that The Kaya Baby and myself came to an understanding, and knew what had to be done, I called CodaPet, who put me in touch with Dr. Lauren Silvesti. Everyone who I talked with at CodaPet were so kind, respectful, and professional and my words cannot express how highly I exalt Dr. Lauren Silvesti. From our very first interaction on Wednesday morning, she was compassionate, kind, and accessible. Dr. Lauren Silvesti was willing to answer any questions that I had throughout the day, and whenever I tried to get in touch with her, she was available. Kaya was such an amazing girl who had vastly intense energy. She could be stubborn and mischievous and I loved her for it. Principally though, Kaya was loving and sensitive. She could not tolerate any tension or drama, so I did my best to make sure that she wouldn’t have to. If I had decided to take Kaya to a veterinary hospital to allow her to pass on, then there would have been a lot of added stress for her. I would never allow that to happen. Kaya was a very family oriented girl, so the only option for both of us, was to do this procedure at home. Kaya passed away in my arms while I was hugging her and talking to her. My mom and dad were also there, as well as my sister and brother in-law, along with their two dogs Luney and Ruby. They are both Kaya’s sisters, and everyone who was there loved Kaya so much. I was with my Kaya girl for the whole time, and I sincerely believe that she was at peace. Having to make the decision “when is the right time?” And having to say goodbye to all of my dogs, is by far one of the hardest things that I will have to go through in my life. Dr. Lauren Silvesti made this experience as manageable as possible for all of us. She was so professional, and from beginning to end, the procedure was conducted smoothly, effectively, and tenderly. Thank You Dr. Silvesti! I believe it meant the world to Kaya to have so many people who loved her, there with her, when she needed it most. The Kaya Baby was so full of love, and she loved everybody who was there with her also. RIP Baby Girl and Best Wishes on your next adventure! Also to Baxter, Ruffo, Mila, Dreyfus, and Nadja, I miss you guys and I love you! If you happen to be reading this review and you are going through this agonizing time of saying goodbye to your dog. I wanted to say I’m sorry and I’m sending my heartfelt condolences. I genuinely recommend CodaPet out of Ashburn, Virginia, and Dr. Lauren Silvesti, who I will forever consider a dear friend. They specialize at in-home pet euthanasia, which is a truly valuable service. If there is an option to take this course of action when the time is right, in my opinion it is the best way to go, for the wellbeing of your pet. I’m sending everyone my love and please cherish your time with your pets. Time flies by so fast and life is too short. Sincerely and Respectfully, Jussi Sletzinger

I recently had to say goodbye to one of my pets, and I wanted to take a moment to share my gratitude for the incredible kindness and compassion shown by Dr Silvesti. From the moment she arrived, she brought with her a calming presence. She spoke to me softly, she moved gently and she was patient - absolutely nothing was rushed. She truly gave me the time and space I needed to say goodbye - in my own time. What meant the most was how she worked around me. I didn’t want to let go of my pet during the process, and she respected that fully, allowing me to hold my pet in my arms the entire time. She explained everything and never once did I feel pressured or uncomfortable. There was no sense of guilt, no judgment — only compassion and understanding at a time when I definitely needed it. We all too often turn the pain and hurt inward, looking for fault and taking the blame, but she didn’t let me do that to myself. I know I’m not alone in the heartbreak of losing a pet, and I know my experience is not more unique or more painful than anyone else’s, but it makes such a difference when someone takes the time to truly care. Dr Silvesti did that, and I will always be grateful. I will recommend CODA to anyone facing this difficult moment because of their service and empathy during such a difficult time. Thank you Dr Silvesti! - Nancye Lewis

I found CodaPet and Dr. Jenny Krueger when searching for in home pet euthanasia services for my 13 year old pup. Her health declined very rapidly and our regular vet did not have any available appointments. I was very lucky to come across Dr. Krueger's page that morning and get an appointment the same day in the afternoon. This was my first time having to go through this and she did her best to comfort us by asking stories about Izzy and letting us know what to expect with each step. We were able to make our girl comfortable in her favorite place in the house where she got a plate of canned cheese and hershey's kisses. She helped me get paw and nose prints with a kit I had bought earlier that week and she let us spend all the time we needed to say goodbye. Thank you again for taking care of Izzy and helping her rest peacefully surrounded by her family.

Dr. Wasmoen is so calm and caring during a very difficult time. Our beloved 14 yr old dog had been recently diagnosed with diabetes and we made the decision not to treat. So, when the time came to have him put to sleep, I came in contact with Dr. Wasmoen through Coda-pet. She came to our home and was so kind and considerate of our feelings and even reassured me that it was the right thing to do. She explained everything that would happen very clearly before and while she was doing the procedure. We had as much time as we wanted to spend with him afterwards and she took him out in a basket wrapped in a blanket. Every step of the process was so well done. We received his paw print, some of his hair and later, his ashes. It was such a difficult time but she made it a peaceful ending to his wonderful life.

With very heavy heart I made an appointment with CodaPet (the only ones who had an appointment for the next day), and after I made the appointment with Dr. Stephanie Norman, she contacted me directly to let me know she will do anything she can if my dog declines fast overnight (my girl had lung cancer), and need her to come the previous night. She was very punctual, and so compassionate. Truly a person you like the first time you see. Very sweet, attentive, and so delicate with my girl. She was so caring, and kept checking on my girl until she was gone. She let me say goodbye as long as I needed, then the wrapped her so gently like you wrap a baby and we carried her to her car. It was like my girl was not even gone. I do not have enough words to express my gratitude for the way she helped me and my baby.

We are deeply grateful to Dr. Stukey for the compassionate care and kindness she showed during one of the most difficult moments our family has faced. Saying goodbye to our cherished dog, Archer, was heartbreaking, but being able to do so at home made all the difference for Archer and us. Dr. Stukey approached every step with gentleness, empathy, and patience. She explained everything clearly, gave us all the time we needed, and treated Archer with the dignity and love he deserved. One detail that meant so much to us was the way she prepared a cozy, respectful space for Archer’s final journey—complete with a cute blanket, soft pillows and silk flowers. It was beautiful and deeply moving. Her quiet, respectful presence brought comfort in a moment filled with sorrow. It takes a special kind of person to do this work with such grace and heart. We will never forget how she helped ease Archer’s passing, allowing him to leave us peacefully, surrounded by love and familiarity. Thank you, Dr. Stukey, for helping us say goodbye in the most meaningful and compassionate way 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!

My girl Molli was 16 this past June and when she took a turn for the worse I reached out to Peaceful Passing/Coda Pet for help. While her appointment was scheduled for a few days later, Dr. Whala was able to come sooner - this allowed Molli not to be in pain or any discomfort for any longer than needed. The whole process was amazing and left me knowing that it was the best outcome for Molli. There was no rush, no judgement, no criticizing - just compassion and understanding. We were given time to be with Molli through the entire process. We also chose to have Molli cremated and wanted her ashes back. I was expecting to get a call to go pick up those ashes but instead I was greeted by an individual at my house that hand delivered Molli back to me. Unbelievable service from beginning to start - I would not do it any different.

Cara was incredible at her job and full of peace and compassion. Just a few hours ago we had to say goodbye to a family friend’s dog. I was sad and nervous as to how the experience would go. We could not have had a better professional, kind hearted, empathetic person to help us with such a hard day. Cara was very communicative and talked us through the whole process. Our sweet dog we said goodbye to was completely at peace and serene through the whole experience. He had a history of being afraid of strangers and being aggressive but it’s as if he knew Cara was only there to help him and offer him peace and kindness. He instantly became friends with her. The whole process made me feel at peace and very cared for as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs at home euthanasia.

Codapet was exactly what we needed for our dog Buddy. I got references from my vet and checked them all out, but Codapet was what we decided with. I have not had in home euthanasia so I felt I was going in blind. Codapet had a very easy website to navigate, (because I couldn’t talk to anyone without crying) and I eventually spoke with a customer service rep after scheduling, and they were very understanding and patient. Then, the local doctor, Dr. White made sure to contact me beforehand and ask any questions about the appointment. Then, she was very informative and patient with us during the appointment. We were not rushed, and everything was at our pace as we said goodbye to our very good boy. She talked us through every step. Dr. White is a compassionate medical professional and truly understands what we were going through. I can’t recommend her enough, she’s absolutely amazing!

Dr. Pickett was very professional and understanding. We had a short conversation on the phone before her arrival. I felt confident that I was doing the best thing for my cat. The doctor stayed w me until we were sure my cat had peacefully gone to sleep and his soul had left his poor sick body. I felt relieved that my kitty didn't have to spend his final moments being scared by a car ride and vet visit at a cold clinic. Yes it was more money than I could afford, but the peace of mind was worth it. My little old sick Poncho is now at peace and out of his misery. He left in peace and purred all the way to the end. I miss him terribly. The Dr was kind and did her job. I know it must have been difficult for her to do. I am grateful to have this service in my home. Dr Pickett was perfect.
