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

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.

Review by Dr. Anna L. Peterson, DVM

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.

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.

Dr. Peterson made a hard day as gentle as possible. She explained every step of the process and let us set the pace as we said goodbye to our precious cat in the comfort of our home. Her empathy, skill, and preparedness made us feel well cared for. I'd highly recommend her for any family facing this difficult decision.

Review by Dr. Anna L. Peterson, DVM

Yes, I miss my sweet girl, but this was made way-less worse by the care Dr Peterson took of Lucy and her people. Anna is a gentle, calming presence who was thoughtful and intentional from her first pets of Lucy to tucking her in a soft blanket as she took Lucy with her. It was the peaceful, compassionate passing my sweet fur-bestie deserved. I’ve already recommended her to several pet-parents and will use her services again. Thanks, Anna.

Review by Dr. Anna L. Peterson, DVM

Myself and my husband had been discussing Charlie’s quality of life for a few days and on Sunday morning we knew it needed to be scheduled as soon as possible. We were able to schedule with Dr. Anna Peterson on Sunday afternoon. Neither of us had been with a pet during Euthanasia and had no idea what to expect. I had been crying for previous 48 hours. Dr. Peterson was a gift to our family. Having an at home option in rural MN was the best thing we could do for our sweet boy. I have felt such relief knowing he passed comfortably at home. Thank you from the Anderson Family!
