Dr. Heather White
Verified Veterinarian
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
She was so caring and supportive. She made the experience much more tolerable than it would have been otherwise. When the need arises I wouldn’t hesitate to call on Dr. Heather again. I’ve told all my friends to do the same.
Dr. White was so amazing during this difficult time. Her empathy and sympathy were crucial in helping us through this. Our Loki (who normally didn’t care for people) was so comfortable around her. She made his last moments peaceful and relaxing. She is an amazing woman and the people and pets she helps are lucky to have her.
Heather was so understanding and prepared for our loss. She truly made the experience as comfortable as it could have possibly been. I really appreciate that we had her care in such a hard time
After the rapid decline of our beloved dog Bailey - we felt it was time to say our goodbye. I found Codapet and Dr. Heather, the process was easy and all online. Dr. Heather showed up on time and make sure we were comfortable with every step in the process, she was kind and compassionate. It made what was an unbearable situation better than I had imagined. Saying goodbye to a pet is never easy but this service made it much easier. Thank you for the opportunity to share my feelings. RIP Bailey Gene
She was very nice and caring. My dog Coco went peacefully. It takes a special person who provides this service every day. Thanks again Dr. White.
I couldn’t have asked for a more empathetic and kind veterinarian to help my seventeen year old cat make his final journey. Dr. Heather White was able to visit us the same day we called for help. It was gentle and peaceful and such a relief to know that my Kitty 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. You’ll know in your bones when it’s time to call, even if you don’t want it to be, and when it is time, CodaPet will help you and your pet through it.
