What pet parents are saying

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.

Review by Dr. Marlene Anschultz

I am so grateful that we chose Dr. Marlene Anschultz for the very difficult decision for our beautiful Luna. She was extraordinarily caring and did not rush us. She gave us time to be with her, and to allow our other dog to see and understand. Dr. Marlene Anschultz not only saw to Luna's comfort to this time, but really ours as well. I have made this decision many times in my life, and in my young years, I worked for a veterinarian and was present when others had to make this choice as well. This is never easy, but this experience was one of the most peaceful I have been able to experience because we were able to do it at home and Dr.. Anschultz' calming presence helped us through. I will forever be grateful to her--and I truly will never forget her kindness.

Dr. A was extremely kind and compassionate. She did not rush us and was very thorough in her examination, gathering of information, explaining the procedure, etc. She made us very comfortable and we appreciated her service very much.
