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. 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.

Though are meeting with Dr. Peterson was under heartbreaking circumstances since she was going to perform euthanasia on our ailing dog, she made it as bearable as possible. She was right on time, not too early or late, which was good. She was very compassionate and was willing to answer any questions. She spoke as if our dog was the greatest and was so kind to him. I would highly recommend her services.

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!

Review by Dr. Anna L. Peterson, DVM

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. ❤️

I'm so glad I heard about Coda Pets. I was worried Minnesota Pets doesn't serve the Arrowhead region anymore, we had them 5 yrs ago for Doras mom Loki. There's no way I'd bring my dog to a vet clinic to say goodbye. And the one vet that comes out, I've had bad experiences with and was dreading to support them. Doras passing was holy as I got to spoon her and grieve. I arranged for Furever Love to come later so I had time to anoint her body. I barely remember Anna being here, I was out of my mind. , she was kind and respectful. I will tell everyone that has to make this decision about Coda Pets...

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. ❤️💔
