Verified Veterinarian
Providing a safe and beautiful experience not only for the pet but also the family that has loved them so is crucial to a dignified way of saying goodbye. There is no better way that I could use my education than to provide a service that equals the love the family has given this pet over the years.

Dr.Marlene made a pretty terrible day a bit more bearable. She had a kind energy, and was able to provide information about my pet's condition that made it clear I was making the right choice helping her pass. Dr.Marlene kept us in the loop every step of the process and alleviated a great deal of anxiety throughout.
Dr. Marlene was everything we could have asked for but didn't need to. She was so comforting and knowledgeable during my boy's transition, and we felt at peace knowing he was in compassionate hands. Her patience and calm helped us through a really devastating day, and we are so grateful to have found her and Codapet. We even received a beautiful note several weeks later - so thoughtful and kind. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for what you provide to pet parents!
Dr. Marlene was really amazing. She did a thorough examination of our Xena and reassured us that we were doing the right thing. We had to make the very unexpected decision to have our baby cross the rainbow bridge and she offered amazing support and kindness while we grieved. She explained the process very well and kept us updated every step of the way. She was also so great with our toddler and was so very patient and helped to include him in the process which was so meaningful. Having to say goodbye to our baby was one of the hardest moments of our lives but being able to do it at home with our child and other dog there was worth every penny. I highly recommend CodaPet and Dr. Marlene.
We are truly grateful for Dr Marlene Anschultz. Her extra care and compassion was above our expectations. We are so happy we were able to give our beloved Jack the love and dignity he deserved.
This was one of the toughest experiences our family has experienced. Dr. Marlene was very professional, compassionate and informative. She made us feel very comfortable and secure in our decision to euthanize our sweet Cali Girl. I would highly recommend CodaPet.
Dr. Marlene is an amazing vet and a remarkable human. She cares deeply for all the creatures. She will make sure you feel heard, understood and loved.
