What pet parents are saying

Dr. Cory was so genuinely compassionate at a time when our hearts were absolutely broken. We could not have imagined a more caring person coming into our home and helping us survive the trauma of sending our 16 and 14 year old pugs to the rainbow bridge together. She truly was the best Dr. we could have asked for to be with us during the saddest time of our lives.

Dr. Cory was absolutely wonderful and was the best we could’ve hoped for considering the circumstances. She was warm, patient, and great with our young children. We are so grateful to have this option to be home where our dog was happiest. Thank you!

Dr. Korsgen was the most empathetic and kind professional during the euthanasia of my canine friend. She even went the extra mile to rearrange her schedule to arrive at my home a few hours earlier than originally planned, because my dog's decline and suffering were escalating. I'm not a religious person, but Dr. Korsgen was an angelic presence. She was so sweet and gentle with my dog, and so very patient and understanding with me. I will always be thankful to Dr. Cory Korsgen for her special touch.

Review by Dr. Cory Korsgen

Making this decision is one of the hardest decisions, for me, to make - but having the ability to have my Jasper pass at home, in my arms, while in no way easy, but so much more comforting for me and I believe Jasper - there was no stress of going to the vet, waiting in the waiting room, waiting for the doctor. Dr Cory was wonderful, listened to my concerns and extremely compassionate - thank you very much for being there for me and Jasper.

On February 25th, I had to make the most heartbreaking decision—to say goodbye to my sweet girl, Bella, after her battle with cancer. As painful as it was, the thought of doing it in a cold veterinary office and walking away with only her collar made it even harder. I couldn’t comprehend how I was supposed to walk in with her and leave without her. In the midst of my distress, a friend told me about in-home pet euthanasia—something I hadn’t even known was an option. I immediately began researching and found CodaPet - At Home Pet Euthanasia. I am beyond grateful for this recommendation, as it allowed Bella to spend her final moments at home, surrounded by family, her favorite toys, and the warmth of the sunset from her favorite window spot. Dr. Cory Korsgen was an absolute blessing. She was incredibly compassionate and understanding, not only toward Bella but also to me and my mom. She provided us with comfort and support, walking me through every step of the process with care and patience. She was gentle with Bella, ensuring she felt no pain, and allowed me to hold her paw and stroke her head as she peacefully passed. While nothing can take away the pain of losing Bella, knowing she was in her own home, in peace and comfort, rather than on a cold metal table, brought me immense solace. To anyone facing this incredibly difficult decision, my heart is with you. If you are able, I strongly encourage considering an in-home service—it makes an unimaginable moment just a little more bearable, both for you and your beloved pet. Days later, as I was slowly beginning to pull myself together, I found a beautifully handwritten letter from Dr. Cory Korsgen in my mailbox. The moment I opened it, tears filled my eyes. It was so personal, so thoughtful, and an unexpected kindness that meant the world to me. That letter now sits beside Bella on the mantle, a testament to the love she gave and received. I hope Bella knows how deeply she was loved and how she left a pawprint on every heart she ever met. 🐾💕🙏🏻🐶

At a very difficult time Dr. Cory gave us the support and compassion we needed. She helped our girl, Zoey, to pass peacefully and with dignity. We could not have asked for a better vet and person to help us in our time of need.
