Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I've always surrounded myself with animals (perk of being a country kid with very understanding parents), and decided to be a veterinarian before I even started kindergarten. After being in clinical practice for 14.5 years, I've developed a passion for physical rehabilitation, hospice, and end-of-life care. I consider it a deep privilege to help pets and clients through the most difficult stage of the human- animal bond.

What pet parents are saying

Letting go of a beloved pet is heartbreaking. I wanted my Zooch to stay at home where he was familiar with everything. His health had declined and he was struggling to get up on his own and I couldn’t imagine putting him in my car and taking him somewhere. I called CodaPet and was able to schedule a same day appointment with Dr. Anna Peterson. She was wonderful. Her sweet nature and genuine care for animals was so helpful during this difficult day. She was so calming and thorough. She explained the process before we started and let me know what was happening at every step. I am grateful for this service. It allowed for privacy and my safe space to grieve this loss. I will miss Zooch forever but thankful he is no longer suffering. ❤️💔

Dr. Peterson is, literally, an answer to my prayers! Words cannot express how grateful we are to have had her come to our home to help us... say goodbye... to our beloved fur-baby, Annie. Nothing was rushed. We talked, as she quickly made friends with both of our dogs. Her compassion & ability to establish rapport is truly amazing! She helped us through an, otherwise, unbearably hard time, and I have since referred to her as an angel. Our precious girl was 14-yrs-old, and had a condition that gradually caused her throat to close up-- making breathing extremely difficult. When it progressed to the point where she was having difficulty even finding a comfortable position to lay in-- we didn't have to make things more stressful for her by hauling her to our vet clinic (with all the noise & commotion there). She was able to quietly & peacefully fall asleep in her own home, in a spot she chose, while I cuddled her. Dr. Peterson then, very compassionately, took care of everything else-- while making sure that we were okay. She left us information on the grief process & contact information for support groups. Having her come to our home may have been more expensive-- but it was worth every cent! Thank God we found her!

I am so thankful for CodaPet services in a time of need. My senior kitty suffered a quick decline, and Dr. Anna Petersen was kind & caring. She provided information on the process & was very respectful. I would definitely use services again if needed. Very professional. I was also very impressed with timeliness of getting an appointment.

Dr. Anna was absolutely amazing in every single way! This was the first time I’d ever been in a position to choose when to say goodbye, and although it was by FAR the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do in my whole entire life, Dr. Anna helped me tremendously and she made the whole process as peaceful and as simple as it could possibly be. No words could ever describe how deeply caring, thoughtful and understanding she was throughout the whole entire process. I cannot possibly thank her enough for making our sudden and heartbreaking goodbye as peaceful as one could ever hope for.

Dr. Anna Peterson was amazing from the start. She was caring, focused and attentive. This was a very difficult time for me and my senior cat Jj; however, she helped me walk through it. My Jj went peacefully and lovingly at home, which made the process more personal and easier on him. It takes a special person to do what she does and I'm beyond grateful for her.

Dr. Anna Peterson, DVM has so much compassion for both animals and humans. She brings her perfect blend of professionalism and loving kindness into your home. Our sweet cat had nothing but the most peaceful and stress free passing. We could not have asked for a better way to say goodbye, and we feel so good knowing that she had the best last day we could have ever given her. We are very grateful for the experience we received with Dr. Peterson and CodaPet. Thank you for providing this beautiful service to pet owners.
