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 is so caring, sweet and understanding. She made my family and I and our beloved dog so comfortable during a difficult time. Thank you so much!
Dr. Marlene is one in a million. Our 15 year old Tibetan Terrier had Canine Cognitive Dysfunction. She came to our home and was calm , sympathetic , and professional . She has a way that makes a person feel ok in such a terrible situation. She did not rush us . She explained in detail how and what to expect during the process. She gave us as much time as we needed to spend our last minutes with “ Bentley “ . You could not find a Veterinarian better to help you through this horrible part of life. We will be forever grateful to her . The Steve Shulman family
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.
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.
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.
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!!
