Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
When I was 5 years old, I believed that I came up with the wonderful new idea of becoming a doctor for animals. My father gently explained that the concept had already been invented, but I could be the best vet there ever was! My role model growing up was James Herriot. I read every book he wrote at least three times, and by the time I got to high school, I was ready to help every animal in the world. Where other kids were getting the titles of Most Likely to Succeed, or Most Likely to Get Rich, I was voted as Most Likely to Become a Veterinarian. In my senior year of high school, I was selected into Mississippi State University's Early Entry Program which allowed me to complete by basic prerequisite courses and enter directly into Vet School. I graduated in 1997 and have been helping pets and their families ever since.

What pet parents are saying
It has been a week since we lost our baby. At home euthanasia was truly the best choice we could have ever made. Our Loki felt so comfortable around Dr. Heather White. He really didn’t care for a lot of people and that is a testament to Dr. White’s compassion. Again, we felt lost going in to this and it was one of the hardest things ever, but it could not have happened more perfectly and peacefully. We love you Loki forever!
I'm so grateful for this being available to me when I needed it. Booking a time was so easy and the vet, Dr Heather White, was so comforting and had a wonderful soothing vibe that made the experience exactly what I wanted it to be.
Dr. White came the same day I contacted her and she was amazing. She was very compassionate, knowledgeable, and patient with my questions. She noticed my daughter wasn’t handling the situation well and offered to put some of our sweet kitty’s fur in a little keepsake bottle. That meant so much to us both. Given the circumstances, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
After the rapid decline of our beloved dog Bailey - we felt it was time to say our goodbye. I found Codapet and Dr. Heather, the process was easy and all online. Dr. Heather showed up on time and make sure we were comfortable with every step in the process, she was kind and compassionate. It made what was an unbearable situation better than I had imagined. Saying goodbye to a pet is never easy but this service made it much easier. Thank you for the opportunity to share my feelings. RIP Bailey Gene
Dr. White was incredibly kind and compassionate. She made sure that both we (the humans) and Benny (the pet) were as comfortable as possible. Her kindness and empathy helped to put us at ease and make an impossible situation a little bit easier.
Dr. White is one of the kindest, most knowledgeable veterinarians in west Tennessee. My sweet boston terrier, Lillie Lou, does not really like new people. She did not resist when Dr. White pulled her into her arms. I thank Dr. White for all she did for me and my family. Highly recommend.
