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

In July 2023, I had taken my pup to get a rabies shot and within 2 days, she had a limp that didn't go away. The limp turned into a lump, and that turned out to be bone cancer. Using holistic vets & treatments, she was able to live very well until she hurt her foot twice last summer. She made it to 17, but I knew she wouldn't make it through winter. Because she could no longer use stairs, I had to do a house-sitting job out of town for her last days. I'm so grateful that Dr. Peterson could still come and help her for that final moment. She even placed her into the box we had for her burial. This kindness meant so much to Ginny's whole circle of family and friends. There's nothing that could make this day 'easier' but there are a whole lot of things that could make it even worse; so, we deeply appreciate Dr. Peterson's care for Ginny and for us at that very difficult moment. I couldn't bring myself to write before now, but thank you, Dr. Peterson.

Dr. Anna came to our house and made a really hard day a lot easier for us and Koda. She explained everything she was going to do and put everyone at ease immediately. Koda was calm on his own bed at home. We all got to love him and be there for him right up to the end, which was the most peaceful passing I could have hoped for him. He simply and peacefully just went to sleep. She wrapped him in blankets and we put him on a stretcher and she took him with her as we had requested he be cremated. I would recommend Dr. Anna, she is kind, caring and makes a really bad day a lot better and leaves you with a peaceful feeling, you know your fur baby was in the best hands. Thank you Dr Anna for helping us make sure Koda made his transition to heaven pain and stress free. ❤️

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. Anna Peterson is one of the most compassionate people we have ever met. Our hearts are broken with the loss of our 9 1/2 year old English Mastiff, Lilly, however, Dr. Peterson was amazing and braved a snow storm on a Sunday to help our baby cross the rainbow bridge. It was such a sad, yet beautiful experience to be able to let our girl go on her favorite spot on our couch, with no pain, no fear, just her humans there to hug and talk to her. I recommend Dr. Peterson to everyone I talk to in the sad event they need to assist their fur baby. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. Our Lilly came home to us a couple of days ago in a beautiful cedar box and perfectly made paw print. Thank you, again.

Dr. Anna was responsive and compassionate and we had a very sweet and peaceful goodbye in our home instead of at an emergency vet because she was willing to come to our very rural house. Could not have asked for more from her.
