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

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.

Review by Dr. Anna L. Peterson, DVM

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.

Dr. Anna Peterson was so kind, caring and compassionate. I cannot tell you what it meant to our family to be able to be with our sweet Eska in our own home. She was surrounded by love and it was so peaceful. Until we meet again sweet girl. I know you are running free.

In what has been one of the hardest goodbyes, Dr Anna Peterson helped bring our beloved Miles peace and comfort in his home. Surrounded by all those that loved him where he was most comfortable. I appreciated that she spent time answering our questions, she reached out prior to check in, and she helped ease some of our anxiety. I am forever thankful that we didn’t have bring Miles somewhere on a holiday where he would have been terrified. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

We couldn't have asked for a better vet to come to our home to help our dog Nala cross the Rainbow Bridge. We were full of dread and sadness and she made the procedure peaceful and calm and made a very hard day a little easier. We would highly recommend Dr Peterson and this service to anyone who is forced to make this very hard decision. Thank you Dr. Peterson!
