Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

When I was 5 years old, I believed that I came up with the wonderful new idea of becoming a doctor for animals. My father gently explained that the concept had already been invented, but I could be the best vet there ever was! My role model growing up was James Herriot. I read every book he wrote at least three times, and by the time I got to high school, I was ready to help every animal in the world. Where other kids were getting the titles of Most Likely to Succeed, or Most Likely to Get Rich, I was voted as Most Likely to Become a Veterinarian. In my senior year of high school, I was selected into Mississippi State University's Early Entry Program which allowed me to complete by basic prerequisite courses and enter directly into Vet School. I graduated in 1997 and have been helping pets and their families ever since.

Dr. White was so compassionate and empathetic to our family. Our dog was always nervous around strangers, so we were so worried his final moments would be ful of stress and anxiety. She took the time to talk to us about what she needed to do. And she was so gentle, professional and careful, I don't even think Scooby knew she was there. He went to sleep calm and loved. Dr. White listened to some of our stories, and then gently got him loaded and took care of organizing his cremation. We are forever grateful for this service which allowed us all to say goodnbye in our own backyard. It was truly such a blessing and Dr. White was absolutely wonderful.

Review by Dr. Heather White

I unfortunately had to have my sweet corgi put to sleep due to sudden, unexpected health issues. She was hospitalized at the vet for 2 days, and I couldn’t bare the thought of her not being able to be home for one last night and day. I was able to make an appointment with Dr. Heather on Friday afternoon when Abby was released from the vet to have her peaceful put to rest at home the next day. It was a true blessing at such a horrible time to have the option to have Abby at home where she was comfortable in a familiar environment. Dr. Heather was kind and thoughtful throughout the entire visit. She spoke to my Abby with love and you could tell you genuinely cared. I would highly recommend Dr Heather and Coda Pet to anyone faced with this decision.

Dr. White is one of the kindest, most knowledgeable veterinarians in west Tennessee. My sweet boston terrier, Lillie Lou, does not really like new people. She did not resist when Dr. White pulled her into her arms. I thank Dr. White for all she did for me and my family. Highly recommend.
