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 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

Dr.Peterson was such a blessing to have during our last moments with our pup. She made us feel very comfortable off the bat. She guided us through such a hard situation. I never felt rushed and she really took the time to know us as a family unit. I can tell she is well experienced and compassion driven. I would recommend her to anyone!

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.

Review by Dr. Anna L. Peterson, DVM

Dr. Peterson was the perfect person to help euthanize our beloved Daisy. The process of applying for a home appointment online was seamless. I was instantly contacted through e-mail and able to ask questions about the stages we were going through as Daisy was failing. Gave all of us comfort and peace of mind while our hearts were breaking. I ultimately requested that perhaps she could come even sooner than our designated appointment, and she was able to accommodate us. She was kind, deeply compassionate and committed to helping us and Daisy through the process. She explained in detail the steps that would be taken to release Daisy from her struggles. She helped us provide the best possible passing for our sweet girl. She let us take all the time we needed to say our goodbyes. There was no pressure to buy anything we didn’t want, but choices were offered. Pricing is comparable to what we paid a decade ago and Dr. Peterson drove quite a ways. Cannot thank her enough! I would recommend no other.

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.

She was wonderful. Very kind and compassionate during such an emotionally devastating day for us. She waited for us to be ready to say goodbye to our dog Luna and didn’t rush us. She explained what was going to happen and what to expect. I am so thankful that Luna got to spend her final moments at home with us where she was comfortable and with her family.

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.
