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

In what has been one of the hardest goodbyes, Dr Anna Peterson helped bring our beloved Miles peace and comfort in his home. Surrounded by all those that loved him where he was most comfortable. I appreciated that she spent time answering our questions, she reached out prior to check in, and she helped ease some of our anxiety. I am forever thankful that we didn’t have bring Miles somewhere on a holiday where he would have been terrified. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Dr. Peterson provided compassionate, gentle care during one of the hardest moments of my life. She came to our home and treated Akora with such dignity, patience, and kindness, allowing her to pass in the place she was most comfortable. She explained every step with calm reassurance, never rushed us, and held space for our grief in a way that felt deeply human. Her presence brought comfort during a moment that could have been overwhelming and traumatic, and instead felt tender, respectful, and loving. I am grateful to Dr. Peterson for helping Akora cross with peace and grace, and for showing such care. I recommend her to anyone facing this impossible decision and wanting their beloved companion treated with the utmost compassion.

Dr. Anna was so caring, as if it was her own dog. She made a horrible day tolerable. I cannot say enough about the at home service, and how wonderful Dr. Anna was for my dog Evie, and myself. Thank you so much!

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. Anna made the most difficult decision as a pet owner easier with her services. She showed compassion and gave us the time we needed to get through the toughest situation. Our dog who was actually unbelievably calm in her presence and the whole experience couldn’t have gone better. I was concerned having my teen kids watch but she explained the process in just enough detail to prepare us all through each step. I would highly recommend her services and appreciate that she is willing to help people give their pets a chance to be home during the end of life.

Dr. Anna was very supportive and kind to us when we decided to let my best friend Pedro go. She came on time, was well prepared, listened carefully to his health history and was very reassuring that we were doing the right thing. She was patient and gave us lots of privacy when we needed it. It’s the worst task ever, but she comes with a compassionate heart and a calming demeanor. We were so grateful to be able to give him a kind goodbye at home with us and the whole process was very simple to book online.
