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

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.

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.

Dr. Anna Peterson 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.

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.

Review by Dr. Anna L. Peterson, DVM

We are so grateful for Dr. Anna Peterson and the compassionate care she provided during one of the hardest moments for our family. She came to our home last week to help our beloved Maude pass peacefully, and we could not have asked for a more caring, gentle, and professional presence. Dr. Peterson took everything at our pace—there was never any rush, only calm and reassurance. She explained every step of the process clearly and compassionately, making sure we understood and were comfortable throughout. She treated Maude with such tenderness and respect, and her kindness extended equally to our family, offering both medical clarity and emotional support. She was personable, warm, and genuine—a true gift in a moment of grief. Dr. Peterson helped create a peaceful and loving space for Maude’s transition, and we will always be thankful for her care. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone facing this difficult decision. Her presence was a comfort beyond words

Yes, I miss my sweet girl, but this was made way-less worse by the care Dr Peterson took of Lucy and her people. Anna is a gentle, calming presence who was thoughtful and intentional from her first pets of Lucy to tucking her in a soft blanket as she took Lucy with her. It was the peaceful, compassionate passing my sweet fur-bestie deserved. I’ve already recommended her to several pet-parents and will use her services again. Thanks, Anna.
