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
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
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 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.
I recently had the privilege of booking Dr. Heather White through CodaPet for in-home euthanasia services, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the experience. From the very beginning, Dr. White demonstrated extraordinary compassion and understanding during what was an incredibly difficult time for me. She approached the process with patience and sensitivity, ensuring my dog was never placed in an uncomfortable position or situation. Dr. White administered a "happy" medication that allowed my dog to relax and become comfortably sleepy. This gave him the chance to rest in my lap as I gently stroked his head and body, telling him how much he meant to me and what a wonderful companion he had been. Throughout the entire process, I never felt rushed or pressured. Instead, Dr. White created a calm and peaceful environment, which brought a sense of comfort despite the gravity of the moment. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. White to anyone facing a similar situation. Her professionalism, kindness, and care make an otherwise heart-wrenching experience as gentle and comforting as possible. I wish you and your beloved pet the same level of compassion and support that I experienced.
Using CodaPet was the absolute best experience. They got to us so quickly and it was such a peaceful experience. Highly recommend Dr White - we've got another sick dog and will definitely be using her and this service again. I can't say enough good things about it - you won't be disappointed.
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.
