What pet parents are saying
Dr. Cory Korsgen has been incredible with both of my dogs. Her genuine passion for animals really shines through in the way she interacts with them, and it’s one of the main reasons I keep coming back. She’s amazing at reading their body language and understands their individual personalities, which allows her to tailor each visit to their unique needs. I have a cocker spaniel who is anxious and a german shepherd that's more rambunctious, and she handles both of them with patience and care. Thanks to her calm demeanor and ability to build trust, my dogs feel comfortable with her, even in stressful situations. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a vet who truly understands and loves animals!
In-home euthanasia with Dr. Korsgen is truly the best option. Dr. Korsgen put me at ease and walked me through the entire process from start to finish. She was very knowledgeable, gentle, and my dogs loved her. While it was unbelievably hard to say goodbye it was really nice to be able to do so at home. It was also very helpful to have my other dog present during the process so that he could have some closure. Thank you so much Dr. Korsgen!
My puppy loves it here! She always comes in happy/excited and comes out the same way. Dr. Korsgen has made every experience here great and we are so appreciative Editing to emphasize how GRATEFUL we really are! We couldn’t have picked a better place to take care of Penny- having your pup injured is scary for your pup… let alone you. We always felt informed and in the right place. Thank you to everyone at EAH - can’t wait for her regular check ups
We recently had to say goodbye to my beloved dog, Cocobella. Dr. Corey made this heart-wrenching moment as bearable as possible. Her compassion, understanding, and professionalism provided immense comfort during a very difficult time. I am deeply grateful for the care and support they provided to both me and Cocobella. Thank you from the bottom of heart!
Dr Cory was patient and kind and informed us every step of the way. It was a very difficult time for us, but she reassured us. We were making the right decision to let our Coco pass peacefully at home. We highly recommend Dr Cory she treated Coco with Grace and Love all the way and had a special memorial in her car which just made it even more comforting that she was going to be transported with Love.
On February 25th, I had to make the most heartbreaking decision—to say goodbye to my sweet girl, Bella, after her battle with cancer. As painful as it was, the thought of doing it in a cold veterinary office and walking away with only her collar made it even harder. I couldn’t comprehend how I was supposed to walk in with her and leave without her. In the midst of my distress, a friend told me about in-home pet euthanasia—something I hadn’t even known was an option. I immediately began researching and found CodaPet - At Home Pet Euthanasia. I am beyond grateful for this recommendation, as it allowed Bella to spend her final moments at home, surrounded by family, her favorite toys, and the warmth of the sunset from her favorite window spot. Dr. Cory Korsgen was an absolute blessing. She was incredibly compassionate and understanding, not only toward Bella but also to me and my mom. She provided us with comfort and support, walking me through every step of the process with care and patience. She was gentle with Bella, ensuring she felt no pain, and allowed me to hold her paw and stroke her head as she peacefully passed. While nothing can take away the pain of losing Bella, knowing she was in her own home, in peace and comfort, rather than on a cold metal table, brought me immense solace. To anyone facing this incredibly difficult decision, my heart is with you. If you are able, I strongly encourage considering an in-home service—it makes an unimaginable moment just a little more bearable, both for you and your beloved pet. Days later, as I was slowly beginning to pull myself together, I found a beautifully handwritten letter from Dr. Cory Korsgen in my mailbox. The moment I opened it, tears filled my eyes. It was so personal, so thoughtful, and an unexpected kindness that meant the world to me. That letter now sits beside Bella on the mantle, a testament to the love she gave and received. I hope Bella knows how deeply she was loved and how she left a pawprint on every heart she ever met. 🐾💕🙏🏻🐶
