What pet parents are saying

Dr. Cory Korsgen has been incredible with both of my dogs. Her genuine passion for animals really shines through in the way she interacts with them, and it’s one of the main reasons I keep coming back. She’s amazing at reading their body language and understands their individual personalities, which allows her to tailor each visit to their unique needs. I have a cocker spaniel who is anxious and a german shepherd that's more rambunctious, and she handles both of them with patience and care. Thanks to her calm demeanor and ability to build trust, my dogs feel comfortable with her, even in stressful situations. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a vet who truly understands and loves animals!

During one of the saddest moments of my life, I was lucky enough to find Dr. Cory Korsgen to help us say goodbye to Misfit, my faithful companion of 14 years, my amazing cat. Misfit gave me so much more than just companionship, she gave me love and kept me centered in life here and now and notso much in the past. With Dr. Korsgen careful and caring direction, my sweet cat died in my arms after peacefully falling to sleep. Everyone is different, but for me this was the right decision for so many reasons. I am forever grateful to CodaPet and Dr. Korsgen; they were caring, supportive, and treated our grief with respect and understanding.

I am so grateful for the in home euthanasia experience I had with Dr. Korsgen. Dr. Korsgen was sympathetic, knowledgeable and knew just what to say to make a really difficult time a little easier. I’m glad I didn’t have to put Marley through the stress of bringing her to the vet. I was so thankful that the last moments for Marley were spent in her home. I would recommend Dr. Korsgen. I am so thankful that in home euthanasia is now an option. Thank you.

We recently had to make the incredibly difficult decision to say goodbye to our beloved boxer, Rocco. After a lifetime of love, loyalty, and joy it was important to us that his final moments be peaceful and in the comfort of his own home. We were fortunate to have found Dr. Cory, who came to our home and helped guide us through this emotional process with the utmost compassion and professionalism. From the moment she arrived, Dr. Cory was gentle, kind, and incredibly respectful not only to us, but most importantly, to Rocco. She took the time to explain each step of the process, allowing us to move at our own pace and ask questions as needed. Her calm and compassionate demeanor helped bring a sense of peace to an otherwise heartbreaking moment. What stood out the most was the care she showed for Rocco. She ensured he was comfortable, pain-free, and relaxed, treating him with the dignity and tenderness he deserved. Her presence helped us feel less alone in our grief and more at peace with our decision. We are so grateful for Dr. Cory and the service she provided. While nothing can take away the sadness of losing our sweet Rocco, having him at home, surrounded by love, with someone so compassionate guiding us, made all the difference. Thank you, Dr. Cory for helping us give Rocco the goodbye he deserved.

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.

In-home euthanasia with Dr. Korsgen is truly the best option. Dr. Korsgen put me at ease and walked me through the entire process from start to finish. She was very knowledgeable, gentle, and my dogs loved her. While it was unbelievably hard to say goodbye it was really nice to be able to do so at home. It was also very helpful to have my other dog present during the process so that he could have some closure. Thank you so much Dr. Korsgen!
