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.

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.
I couldn’t say enough good things about Dr. Marlene and CodaPet. Compassionate, kind, informative, and most importantly of all, painless. My beautiful boy was able to cross the rainbow bridge in peace and dignity and it was all thanks to the help of Dr. Marlene. Thank you thank you thank you CodaPet. 10 stars.
I can’t begin to express how amazing Dr Marlene is. She is extremely knowledgeable, kind and compassionate. I feel so blessed to have found her. She goes above and beyond and truly cares and wants what’s best for the pet and the pet owner. Anyone who somehow finds her when they are having to face the most difficult part of owning a pet are so lucky. She treats the family and the pet with the most respect and compassion, She is truly an angel to me.
We couldn’t have asked for a better vet to help us through the most difficult decision. She was compassionate and understanding and erased any doubts we had. Our Zoe passed with dignity and love surrounded by her family. Thank you!!
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 absolutely amazing to work with. My fiancee had never used the service before (I have twice with Dr Whala) and she was very impressed with how gentle, caring, and lovely Dr Marlene was with her cat Issy. As usual, nothing was rushed and Dr Marlene took the time to explain the process before going forward. After it was completed she did a quick check that further confirmed her decision to let Issy go peacefully, as she had more tumors thatn the two that she knew of. She wrapped Issy up beautifully in a lavender blanket and placed her in a little basket to leave. Cannot recommend this service highly enough.
