Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

At 16, I started working at an animal rescue and quickly realized that my love of animals was truly a calling, but it wasn’t until later that year when I began as an assistant at the local veterinary practice that I knew where I needed to be. I never looked back! My goal is to make sure that every animal knows they are loved and cherished, and that is especially important in their twilight years. Every pet should have a warm lap, a sunny spot, and a comfortable setting in their final moments, surrounded by love and family, and I am so honored to be able to facilitate that in Hampton Roads.

What pet parents are saying

Probably one of the most painful decisions we had to make was to let our cat Mocha go and we wanted to do an at home procedure. Dr. Struble with CodaPet was very thoughtful and caring with every step of the procedure allowing us time to grieve while patiently answering all of our concerns. She showed sincere empathy for our loss and treated Mocha with the greatest respect and care. At the end while saying our goodbyes, she gave us both a big hug in knowing how she felt for our loss meant a great deal to me. She later followed up to see how we were coping, which I'm very grateful for. We will never truly be over this loss and little Mocha will always be in our hearts but it helps tremendously when you have a compassionate veterinarian like Dr. Struble to assist in relieving the suffering of dying pet.

Feels weird to rate the worst day of my life 5 stars, but Dr. Struble provided an amazing service for us since our Zuko had severe vet anxiety. Our girl didn't make it easy on her either, she wasn't fooled for one second that Dr. Struble was just a new friend coming to visit. Thank you, Dr. Struble, for helping us make Zuko's last moments as calm and serene as possible.

Dr Struble provides an invaluable service to both out pets and to us their parents. My elderly large dog was in pain from advanced old age and arthiritis. She was able to stay in her familiar home and routine, and passed away peacefully in her favorite place, with our little cat Jack faithfully at her side the entire time. Erin is a patient and compassionate doctor. She took her time and allowed the process to proceed at its natural pace and when I was ready. I have 3 other elderly pets and hope their journey allows them to have the same stress free, comforting transition when the time comes.

Dr. Struble was amazing and very compassionate. It was so hard to let our Bossman go and she understood that. We did not feel rushed and had the time we needed to say good bye. Thank you Dr. Struble💙💙

Dr. Struble was so empathetic, calm, and patient with my grieving family. She helped us understand, answered all questions, and was very giving of her time. I am exceptionally thankful with how she handled my six year old daughter, who was losing a family loved one for the first time. She made one of the most agonizing days as peaceful as possible.

Dr. Erin was wonderful and caring. She made one of the hardest days of my life a little easier. Bennie immediately loved her and felt comfortable, which was the most important thing. Thank you.
