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

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.

Letting go of a beloved pet is heartbreaking. I wanted my Zooch to stay at home where he was familiar with everything. His health had declined and he was struggling to get up on his own and I couldn’t imagine putting him in my car and taking him somewhere. I called CodaPet and was able to schedule a same day appointment with Dr. Anna Peterson. She was wonderful. Her sweet nature and genuine care for animals was so helpful during this difficult day. She was so calming and thorough. She explained the process before we started and let me know what was happening at every step. I am grateful for this service. It allowed for privacy and my safe space to grieve this loss. I will miss Zooch forever but thankful he is no longer suffering. ❤️💔

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!

Dr. Peterson made a hard day as gentle as possible. She explained every step of the process and let us set the pace as we said goodbye to our precious cat in the comfort of our home. Her empathy, skill, and preparedness made us feel well cared for. I'd highly recommend her for any family facing this difficult decision.

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.
