Dr. Heather White
Verified Veterinarian
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
My family and I made one of the biggest decisions.. and that was letting our sweet Nola cross the rainbow bridge. When I contacted Coda Pets to ask some questions that I had, the amazing lady that answered the phone took her time. I didn’t feel rushed and I could tell she genuinely cared. When it was time for our scheduled appointment, Dr. Heather showed up with a warm presence. I was afraid she was going to hop in, insert the euthanasia, and leave. She did just the opposite. She allowed my family to grieve on our own time and allowed us to move through the process on our time. She walked us through the steps and showed true compassion during one of the hardest times that my family has ever gone through. I am truly appreciative of Dr. Heather and Coda Pets for showing so much compassion and love during such a hard time!
Heather was so understanding and prepared for our loss. She truly made the experience as comfortable as it could have possibly been. I really appreciate that we had her care in such a hard time
I unfortunately had to have my sweet corgi put to sleep due to sudden, unexpected health issues. She was hospitalized at the vet for 2 days, and I couldn’t bare the thought of her not being able to be home for one last night and day. I was able to make an appointment with Dr. Heather on Friday afternoon when Abby was released from the vet to have her peaceful put to rest at home the next day. It was a true blessing at such a horrible time to have the option to have Abby at home where she was comfortable in a familiar environment. Dr. Heather was kind and thoughtful throughout the entire visit. She spoke to my Abby with love and you could tell you genuinely cared. I would highly recommend Dr Heather and Coda Pet to anyone faced with this decision.
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.
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
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!
