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. 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!

Dr. Anna helped us say goodbye to our four-legged family member on our terms. It was very helpful and she showed plenty of empathy along the way. I suggest anyone to go this route if needing more comfort when saying goodbye to your loved one.

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.

We couldn’t have asked for a better doctor to help us through one of the worst times of our life. She was truly human in all the right ways. There was so much care and respect, which in our experience is rare of doctors regarding any discipline or type of patient. I’m so thankful for her.

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

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.
