We are so grateful for Dr. Anna Peterson and the compassionate care she provided during one of the hardest moments for our family. She came to our home last week to help our beloved Maude pass peacefully, and we could not have asked for a more caring, gentle, and professional presence. Dr. Peterson took everything at our pace—there was never any rush, only calm and reassurance. She explained every step of the process clearly and compassionately, making sure we understood and were comfortable throughout. She treated Maude with such tenderness and respect, and her kindness extended equally to our family, offering both medical clarity and emotional support. She was personable, warm, and genuine—a true gift in a moment of grief. Dr. Peterson helped create a peaceful and loving space for Maude’s transition, and we will always be thankful for her care. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone facing this difficult decision. Her presence was a comfort beyond words

Dr. Peterson was easy to work with. I liked the option of scheduling online. I was finding it difficult to make THAT CALL. So the online scheduling option made it a little easier. My whole family (kids included/ages 11, 16, & 19) was able to be as present as they were comfortable with during the process and were able to step away and rejoin as they needed. She gave us space and time as we needed during the process. She was very respectful and compassionate and reassured me that I was making the right decision for our dog. And we were comfortable in our own environment and Zeus didn’t have the added stress of being brought into a vets office.

She was wonderful. Very kind and compassionate during such an emotionally devastating day for us. She waited for us to be ready to say goodbye to our dog Luna and didn’t rush us. She explained what was going to happen and what to expect. I am so thankful that Luna got to spend her final moments at home with us where she was comfortable and with her family.

Dr. Anna Peterson I can not thank you enough for helping my fur son Ceazer cross the rainbow bridge into heaven/ next life! Your diagnosis of what was happening was hard for me to process and accept. With your words you made me see what was right and what he needed me to do for him. My boy was holding on for me and I needed to set his body free to fly high above in the sky! I appreciate you and the hard job you have knowing you are doing the correct thing while hearing hearts break. Well mine did that day and you gave me respect and I thank you! Forever grateful. Rest in peace and comfort my 16 year and 1 day old Boston Terrier Ceazer puppins💝forever in our hearts.

I had never met Dr. Peterson until she arrived to euthanize my little boy. He was 16 1/2 years old and had been fine just 2 days earlier. He had 2 days of such a rapid decline and his regular vet was talking about being able to get him in in about a week, which I found to just be cruel. In calling CODApet, they had 2 appointments available that afternoon. I took the 5:00 appointment and let them know my door would be unlocked, so she could just walk in. At 4:30, I brought Carrie into the loving room, put his favorite soft blanket over me and laid him in my lap as I sat in my recliner. Dr. Peterson came through the door as my clocks were chiming 5:00, PERFECTLY on time. She could not have been kinder. She was soft-spoken throughout, explaining every thing she would be doing. She did all she needed to do with Carrie continuing to lie on me and that is where he died. She was empathetic, SO incredibly thoughtful, not seeming rushed, allowing me the time to cry and let her take Carrie when I was ready. I have a second cat that wandered through a bit and she'd talk to him and pet him. I have no idea how many times I said thank you to her. This is the absolute worst time in a pet owner's life but I also believe it's the last thing we can do to love them. Dr. Peterson made this time the easiest she could. I am so thankful for this wonderful, kind woman and this service that didn't make me wait or Carrie suffer. It was the most peaceful time it could have been. I had chosen to have Carrie's ashes returned to me and, coincidentally, they arrived this afternoon. Dr. Peterson had a choice of options for this service as well and my little boy is back home. This woman was an absolute blessing both to me and to the loving care she provided my cat.

When no forewarning that much, I had to make the decision to end my dogs life via euthanasia. That time, that decision, one of the most difficult times in my life. It wasn't going to be easy, to make an appointment and get to the vet, especially being paralyzed/disabled. I found coda and reached out to them. After some brief paperwork, the doctor was at my house later that evening. She was wonderful, which was much needed and wanted in such a horrible time. The doctor was very knowledgeable, kind, and reassured us many times that we were doing the right thing. That helped us all a lot. The fact that my family, and myself, could spend the last moments with my dog in our home where my dog was more comfortable was incredible. The fact that a company, a veterinarian, would come to our house and help out in these difficult times was appreciated by us all. I highly recommend the usage of this company and doctors. It is truly an amazing service that I will always be grateful for.

Words cannot express how thankful I am for Dr. Anna Peterson and her empathy and compassionate care for our almost 14 year-old lab Spud. This was my first dog and my husband’s first experience being present during pet euthanasia. It was important to us that our kids (ages 3 and 5) were present as well. Dr. Peterson treated Spud with the utmost care and kindness during his last moments. She was clear in explaining the process and worked with efficiency, but it was all done with such compassion that it never felt rushed. She was also amazing with the kids—answering their (seemingly unending!) questions in ways that they could understand. Highly recommend her for anyone with a companion animal who’s reached end-of-life.

Dr. Anna Peterson was very supportive and kind to us when we decided to let my best friend Pedro go. She came on time, was well prepared, listened carefully to his health history and was very reassuring that we were doing the right thing. She was patient and gave us lots of privacy when we needed it. It’s the worst task ever, but she comes with a compassionate heart and a calming demeanor. We were so grateful to be able to give him a kind goodbye at home with us and the whole process was very simple to book online.

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. Anna did a wonderful job. She had a very gentle way with Samantha, my baby of 14 years. She stroked her and talked to her. Gently wrapped her in the blanket that had been hers and mine when she sat in my lap. SamE was a 65 pound lap dog for 12 of her 14 years. She was a lap dog until she could no longer climb into my lap. Dr. Anna listened to me babble and gave me Kleenex for my tears. I could not have asked for a more gentle passing for our baby. Anyone who uses Dr. Anna’s services would be very pleased.

Dr. Peterson was the perfect person to help euthanize our beloved Daisy. The process of applying for a home appointment online was seamless. I was instantly contacted through e-mail and able to ask questions about the stages we were going through as Daisy was failing. Gave all of us comfort and peace of mind while our hearts were breaking. I ultimately requested that perhaps she could come even sooner than our designated appointment, and she was able to accommodate us. She was kind, deeply compassionate and committed to helping us and Daisy through the process. She explained in detail the steps that would be taken to release Daisy from her struggles. She helped us provide the best possible passing for our sweet girl. She let us take all the time we needed to say our goodbyes. There was no pressure to buy anything we didn’t want, but choices were offered. Pricing is comparable to what we paid a decade ago and Dr. Peterson drove quite a ways. Cannot thank her enough! I would recommend no other.

We are so grateful for Dr. Peterson's expertise and her kind heart! After being told by another vet we needed to put down our kitty, we arranged for Dr. Peterson to come to our home. I don't expect this to be the case that often with these types of things, but lucky for us Dr Peterson has had many years of experience as a GP and seen it all. She examined our kitty Ginger, and to our surprise and relief, Dr Peterson informed us that though Ginger is indeed sick and we don't know when she's going to go, she's not suffering, or in pain or "starving to death" as the other vet put it. We adjusted Ginger's dosage for her meds and she responded well and has been living her best Kitty life for the past two weeks and has even had some improvement. She wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't for Dr. Peterson. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Our beloved dog, Rainy, had a bad fall and hurt himself so badly that he couldn't stand. We were so lucky to have Dr. Anna Peterson nearby. She was able to come to our home that day to give Rainy a peaceful passing. Dr. Peterson was more than kind and caring, she was so gentle with Rainy, and later distracted and played with our puppy so that we could say our last goodbyes to Rainy. I can't say enough about how much we appreciated her kindness and how much it meant to us. It is hard to lose a friend, even if the friend isn't human, and it meant so much to have Dr. Peterson come quickly so that poor Rainy didn't have to suffer, and could pass in his home surrounded by familiar things and the people he loved.

We are very thankful to CodaPet and Dr. Anna Peterson. Dr. Anna came to our home on a sleeting, cold night to help us say goodbye Bella. Dr. Anna was gentle and kind. She took her time and gave Bella a sedative before the injection. Bella, who had suffered so much, went to sleep peacefully, in my arms, in her own home. For such a painful event, Dr. Anna did everything she could to ease our girl's passing. WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY.

This was the only pet we have ever had. Our dog tinker was 19 years old, blind, and deaf. Since she was our only pet we didn't know the process of putting her down. It was an emergency and i never thought we couldn't get an appointment at our vet. I had googled your company the night before so when our animal hospital referred Dr. Anna Peterson I felt your company was safe. She had one opening at 7:00 p.m. that day that was perfect for us. She explained everything about the medicine and how it worked. She was so kind and patient. Even when she wrapped tinker in the blanket to bring her to the car she was so gentle with her body. Being at home was a wonderful gift to all of us. I was able to have more peace that tinker could smell her own home. The memorabilia that was included in the price was outstanding.I have told many people about your Doctor and your company and how i would recommend this service for anyone. Thank you so very much! You were a blessing to our family! And thank you for your services to our community.

Dr. Anna Peterson preformed an in home euthanasia for our dog, Copper on January 6th 2025 at our home in Ashland, WI. Copper has always been an anxious pup when going to the vet. I feared that we would have to go to the vet for his euthanasia and his last feeling would be anxiety and fear. We were fortunate to find Dr. Peterson. She was patience and kind. We never felt rushed and she took such good care of our little man. I feel confident that he had a peaceful passing and a lot of it was thanks to Dr. Peterson. Our family is forever grateful.

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!
