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.

Dr. Peterson is an amazing soul. She was extremely thoughtful and patient with our family as we said goodbye to our sweet boy, Bauer. She demonstrated compassion for Bauer and allowed him to cross over with dignity.

I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Anna Peterson. She was so kind, compassionate, and patient throughout the whole process. It takes a special soul to do what she does. Having said goodbye to several pets in my lifetime, I won’t do it any other way. Thank you Dr. Peterson and codapet for what you do.

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

It takes a very special person to come into your home and handle a families grieving of losing their pet. There are many words that describe Dr. Anna...... She is very friendly, caring,compassionate, thoughtful and obviously a pet lover. Our decision was extremely difficult but she eased our pain. We know our dog Harie is in a better place and we thank Dr. Anna for being part of our journey.

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.
