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.

Review by Dr. Anna L. Peterson, DVM

When an unexpected diagnosis left us little time to say goodbye to the coolest cat ever (a part of our family and family lore for over sixteen years), we couldn’t imagine Tsing’s final moments in a clinical setting (in addition to the trauma of getting him there). It was difficult to think about a potentially stressful end for a cat whose personality was consistently “chill.” So, when our trusted and most awesome veterinarian explained the services of CodaPet, we could not imagine a better setting. And just as described, Dr. Anna Peterson was simply wonderful – so extremely skilled and competent, while incredibly compassionate and understanding of our situation. We were able to gather our family together, both remotely and in person, to share our favorite “Tsing moments” while Dr. Anna made quiet preparations, allowing us time to say goodbye and be with him until she, ever so gently, eased Tsing into his next cat life. I cannot effectively describe how kind and considerate Dr. Anna was every step of the way. Family present online commented on how they felt included because of her careful attention, calm demeanor, and reassuring explanations. Once he had passed, she gave us all the time we needed, then carefully swaddled Tsing in the coziest of quilts to carry him away. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend an in-home pet euthanasia for a most peaceful end of life experience. And, if you are fortunate to have Dr. Anna Peterson, I know you will be ever so grateful for her expertise, and the tender care your pet receives.

Probably one of the hardest things to do is make the decision that your pet ( Best Friend) quality of life has become painful and a struggle for them and it’s time to say goodbye. It hurts like Hell. For me being able to do this in the comfortable surroundings of your pets home is a blessing. And I truly have to thank Dr Anna Peterson, DVM for making just that very comfortable my Friend. And me as well. I appreciate you and you thank you Dr Anna Peterson.

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.
