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
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.
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.
I truly believe people are placed in your life for a reason. This time, we were given an angel to help us through one of the most difficult moments—letting go of our girl Chi after 15 wonderful years. The entire process exceeded our expectations. Dr. Courtney was incredibly compassionate and caring, and helped us say goodbye with peace, love and dignity. Dr. Courtney we thank you !!!🐾
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.
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.
