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.

What pet parents are saying

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 was incredibly kind and compassionate. She made sure that both we (the humans) and Benny (the pet) were as comfortable as possible. Her kindness and empathy helped to put us at ease and make an impossible situation a little bit easier.

Review by Dr. Heather White

I couldn’t have asked for a more empathetic veterinarian to help my sixteen year old cat make his final journey. It was gentle and peaceful and such a relief to know that he was no longer in any discomfort. Hearing him snoring away once Dr. White administered the initial sedative was a tremendous blessing. He could finally rest.

Our dog, Sissy, had been with our family since before our kids. We adopted her a month after we bought our house almost 9 years ago. Dr. White was incredibly caring, gentle and helpful by visiting us when it was time for Sissy to cross the rainbow bridge. I hated the idea of Sissy having to go to the vet for the end of her life, so her getting to sit at home, be in her favorite spot, and get her favorite snack before she left this world. I highly recommend Dr. White!
