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.

She was so gentle and loving to our Fancie. She was wonderful to us in such a difficult time. She explained what would happen and gave us as much time as we needed to say our goodbyes. You are very fortunate to have such a caring employee. Thank you so much for providing this service

Dr. Peterson was a godsend during a difficult time. She came all the way to our cabin, over 2 hours from her home, allowing us to have our dog Leo rest peacefully and not have to get in the car at the end of his life. She made herself available ahead of the appointment when an unexpected issue came up. She truly went above and beyond to make a difficult time more bearable. Thank you, Dr. Peterson!

We are very thankful to CodaPet and Dr. Anna Peterson. Dr. Anna came to our home on a sleeting, cold night to help us say goodbye Bella. Dr. Anna was gentle and kind. She took her time and gave Bella a sedative before the injection. Bella, who had suffered so much, went to sleep peacefully, in my arms, in her own home. For such a painful event, Dr. Anna did everything she could to ease our girl's passing. WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY.

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.

I had never met Dr. Peterson until she arrived to euthanize my little boy. He was 16 1/2 years old and had been fine just 2 days earlier. He had 2 days of such a rapid decline and his regular vet was talking about being able to get him in in about a week, which I found to just be cruel. In calling CODApet, they had 2 appointments available that afternoon. I took the 5:00 appointment and let them know my door would be unlocked, so she could just walk in. At 4:30, I brought Carrie into the loving room, put his favorite soft blanket over me and laid him in my lap as I sat in my recliner. Dr. Peterson came through the door as my clocks were chiming 5:00, PERFECTLY on time. She could not have been kinder. She was soft-spoken throughout, explaining every thing she would be doing. She did all she needed to do with Carrie continuing to lie on me and that is where he died. She was empathetic, SO incredibly thoughtful, not seeming rushed, allowing me the time to cry and let her take Carrie when I was ready. I have a second cat that wandered through a bit and she'd talk to him and pet him. I have no idea how many times I said thank you to her. This is the absolute worst time in a pet owner's life but I also believe it's the last thing we can do to love them. Dr. Peterson made this time the easiest she could. I am so thankful for this wonderful, kind woman and this service that didn't make me wait or Carrie suffer. It was the most peaceful time it could have been. I had chosen to have Carrie's ashes returned to me and, coincidentally, they arrived this afternoon. Dr. Peterson had a choice of options for this service as well and my little boy is back home. This woman was an absolute blessing both to me and to the loving care she provided my cat.
