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
When we knew it was time to say goodbye to our beloved Stella, we wanted her final moments to be filled with love, comfort, and peace. Thanks to CodaPet and Dr. Courtney White, we were able to give her exactly that. On a beautiful summer evening in our backyard, surrounded by our entire family, we said goodbye to Stella. Dr. White arrived with a calming presence and gently walked us through each step of the process. Her kindness and professionalism were deeply comforting during such a painful time. Though our hearts were breaking, Stella’s passing was peaceful and serene; accompanied by the sounds of our voices, birds singing, and neighbors kids playing nearby. After Stella passed, Dr. White gave us as much time as we needed with her, and when we were ready, she gently took our girl into her care. A few days later, Dr. White personally returned Stella’s ashes to our home, bringing a sense of closure and deep gratitude. We are forever thankful for Dr. White’s compassion, calm demeanor, and the respectful way she guided us through one of the hardest moments of our lives. Saying goodbye is never easy, but with Dr. White, Stella’s passing was as beautiful as her life.
Dr Courtney White was sweet and helpful and caring. She explained everything and took the time we needed. It was such a blessing to have her in this difficult time and having an at home visit was truly a relief as I just could not take my cat out of the home never to return.
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!
She was so thoughtful, sweet and the best part was that she never rushed the situation or made us feel like she had anywhere else to be. Her gentleness and understanding of our situation did not go unnoticed. I HIGHLY recommend her and this service to anyone navigating through this terrible, yet unavoidable transition.
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.
Highly recommend!! Courtney was compassionate, and spent a lot of time on the floor with my wife and I holding and petting our dog. She explained the whole process, and how everything was going to go. I will definitely use her in the future if she’s still in business. Thanks again Courtney for making such a difficult time/decision for us that much easier. I’m glad to see Bella crossed the rainbow bridge while in the comfort of her own dog bed, in front of the lit fireplace. She was extremely content and under zero stress. I wouldn’t have done it any other way.
