Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

At 16, I started working at an animal rescue and quickly realized that my love of animals was truly a calling, but it wasn’t until later that year when I began as an assistant at the local veterinary practice that I knew where I needed to be. I never looked back! My goal is to make sure that every animal knows they are loved and cherished, and that is especially important in their twilight years. Every pet should have a warm lap, a sunny spot, and a comfortable setting in their final moments, surrounded by love and family, and I am so honored to be able to facilitate that in Hampton Roads.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Struble was so empathetic, calm, and patient with my grieving family. She helped us understand, answered all questions, and was very giving of her time. I am exceptionally thankful with how she handled my six year old daughter, who was losing a family loved one for the first time. She made one of the most agonizing days as peaceful as possible.

Dr Struble provides an invaluable service to both out pets and to us their parents. My elderly large dog was in pain from advanced old age and arthiritis. She was able to stay in her familiar home and routine, and passed away peacefully in her favorite place, with our little cat Jack faithfully at her side the entire time. Erin is a patient and compassionate doctor. She took her time and allowed the process to proceed at its natural pace and when I was ready. I have 3 other elderly pets and hope their journey allows them to have the same stress free, comforting transition when the time comes.

Feels weird to rate the worst day of my life 5 stars, but Dr. Struble provided an amazing service for us since our Zuko had severe vet anxiety. Our girl didn't make it easy on her either, she wasn't fooled for one second that Dr. Struble was just a new friend coming to visit. Thank you, Dr. Struble, for helping us make Zuko's last moments as calm and serene as possible.

Dr. Struble came out and met with us. Our girl started going downhill quickly and she was able to come out early. She explained everything and loved on our Daisy. She was very kind and allowed us time to say our goodbyes. She followed up few days after to check on us. Everything from scheduling to goodbye was great during such a sad time.

Dr.Erin Struble was an amazing partner in this transition of life. She took the time to listen to all of our stories as we gave Little Dog an Oreo cupcake, just before drifting off to sleep. Dr.Struble was well paced, moved when we we ready, and paid us and Little Dog the highest of all respects for this passing. My sweet girl passed in my arms on her favorite bed from her living room with her family surrounding her. It was beautiful and fitting for my life long companion of 16 years. I wouldn't have had it any other way. My urn was so lovely as well; way nicer than the ones I have had in the past. Dr.Struble was amazing. I couldn't recommend CodaPet enough for at home euthanasia. Thank you 🌈🐾
