Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
My father instilled in me his love of animals from a young age. I was privileged to be able to allow my 15 year old Golden Retriever, Annie, a peaceful passing at home, in the spot she chose. I want to be able to provide that same peace and comfort for other beloved pets and their owners.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Courtney White came out to our office on a Monday evening to put our precious shop cat down. We all loved our Mayer but he was 14 and had recently had surgery to repair a broken hip and just wasn't recovering well from the surgery. We didn't want him to suffer and new it was time to say goodbye. Dr. White was so kind and caring and made the whole process so much easier on Mayer and on us. We highly recommend using Dr. White and CodaPet if you find yourself in a situation where you need to say goodbye to your beloved pet. It was so wonderful to allow our special guy to pass in the place he is comfortable, without having to go for a scary ride in the car, and for his people to be able to surround him in those final moments in our comfortable place, too. Thank you so much, Dr. White! -Kristy & Payton, A&H
Dr. Courtney White was very kind and compassionate, it's unfortunate to ever have to make this heartbreaking decision but having someone there who is kind, professional and understanding makes it more comforting.
She was very kind and compassionate. It is such a hard thing to do to say goodbye to your fur family member.she was very patient with my family. She explained the entire process and he passed very peacefully.
Dr. White came over on the weekend and quite at the last minute when our sweet Clementine went downhill very suddenly and our regular vet was closed. Dr White was incredibly respectful and so, so caring as she helped our girl cross the rainbow bridge. Dr. White and Coda Pet made a horrible situation bearable and will forever be grateful for the care she gave to us and to our wonderful Clementine.
This was the most peaceful experience we could have asked for both for our pup and our family. Dr. White was WONDERFUL. She ensured our pup was comfortable and not afraid. She gave our family all the time we needed to get ready and to say goodbye. She explained the process to us and answered all of our questions to help us cope with our decision and she was so incredibly compassionate before and after. She even hand delivered our pups ashes to our home for us afterwards. She made this very difficult process peaceful and put us at ease. We are truly, truly grateful ❤️
Coming to terms with the end of your pet's life can bring lots of emotions and distress. Dr. Courtney White was an incredibly calming presence and walked us through step by step how the procedure would go, what to expect and allowed us to ask questions. She was also super patient and respectful while we were saying our last goodbyes to my dog Petey. She allowed us space and time to mourn before and after and took great care of my dog in transport. She left us with a healing stone as well which was quite a touching gesture. She was very professional, had clear communications, and offered lots of flexible options for receiving my dog's ashes back. I cannot thank her enough for giving me the ability to say goodbye to my life long pet in the comfort of our home.
