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

She was so gentle and loving to our Fancie. She was wonderful to us in such a difficult time. She explained what would happen and gave us as much time as we needed to say our goodbyes. You are very fortunate to have such a caring employee. Thank you so much for providing this service

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.

She was very kind, compassionate, caring and patient. It takes a very special person to do what she does and she is wonderful. We were very lucky to have her during our difficult time.

She was so kind and calm, walked us through everything and gave us the time we needed at every step. Having to say goodbye was really hard, but being able to have them be where they were most comfortable and being able to grieve at home helped immensely. We hope we don't have to use her services again for a very long time, but would do so in a heartbeat.

Review by Dr. Anna L. Peterson, DVM

Dr. Peterson was kind, compassionate and professional. I talked a lot (my coping mechanism) and she listened with a sympathetic ear. She explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, so I knew what to expect at each step along the way. I asked for a moment alone with my dog after she'd passed. Dr. Peterson was very respectful of that. I am most appreciative of her kindness and support during a difficult process.

In July 2023, I had taken my pup to get a rabies shot and within 2 days, she had a limp that didn't go away. The limp turned into a lump, and that turned out to be bone cancer. Using holistic vets & treatments, she was able to live very well until she hurt her foot twice last summer. She made it to 17, but I knew she wouldn't make it through winter. Because she could no longer use stairs, I had to do a house-sitting job out of town for her last days. I'm so grateful that Dr. Peterson could still come and help her for that final moment. She even placed her into the box we had for her burial. This kindness meant so much to Ginny's whole circle of family and friends. There's nothing that could make this day 'easier' but there are a whole lot of things that could make it even worse; so, we deeply appreciate Dr. Peterson's care for Ginny and for us at that very difficult moment. I couldn't bring myself to write before now, but thank you, Dr. Peterson.
