Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

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.

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.

Dr. Marlene was absolutely wonderful! She made the whole process a breeze. It was such a treat to share our dogs’ journey with her, and reminiscing about the past was like a good therapy session.

Dr. Marlene went above and beyond to make the whole experience as peaceful and calm. She was kind, patient, and gave us the time we needed with our dog. We couldn’t thank her enough for everything she did for us.

Review by Dr. Marlene Anschultz

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.

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.
