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

We are so grateful for Dr. Anna Peterson and the compassionate care she provided during one of the hardest moments for our family. She came to our home last week to help our beloved Maude pass peacefully, and we could not have asked for a more caring, gentle, and professional presence. Dr. Peterson took everything at our pace—there was never any rush, only calm and reassurance. She explained every step of the process clearly and compassionately, making sure we understood and were comfortable throughout. She treated Maude with such tenderness and respect, and her kindness extended equally to our family, offering both medical clarity and emotional support. She was personable, warm, and genuine—a true gift in a moment of grief. Dr. Peterson helped create a peaceful and loving space for Maude’s transition, and we will always be thankful for her care. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone facing this difficult decision. Her presence was a comfort beyond words

Our beloved dog, Rainy, had a bad fall and hurt himself so badly that he couldn't stand. We were so lucky to have Dr. Anna Peterson nearby. She was able to come to our home that day to give Rainy a peaceful passing. Dr. Peterson was more than kind and caring, she was so gentle with Rainy, and later distracted and played with our puppy so that we could say our last goodbyes to Rainy. I can't say enough about how much we appreciated her kindness and how much it meant to us. It is hard to lose a friend, even if the friend isn't human, and it meant so much to have Dr. Peterson come quickly so that poor Rainy didn't have to suffer, and could pass in his home surrounded by familiar things and the people he loved.

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.

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!

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.
