Dr. Anna L. Peterson, DVM
Verified Veterinarian
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 was responsive and compassionate and we had a very sweet and peaceful goodbye in our home instead of at an emergency vet because she was willing to come to our very rural house. Could not have asked for more from her.
Dr Anna Peterson took care of the end of life needs for my buddy/family member, Mallory. He gave me a good life and I and my daughter gave him one right back. Won’t lie I was a blithering sobbing mess but Dr Anna handled it with respect and compassion for both Mallory and I. As much as any end of life isn’t by anyways an enjoyable experience, Dr Anna and the rest of the crew phone staff, cremation staff took care of all the needs. Thank you Dennis
Dr. Peterson was amazing! She was professional, kind, compassionate, and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye to our buddy Shelly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience in such a difficult situation.
Putting our dog down was one of the hardest things our family has done and we are very grateful for the support and compassion Dr. Peterson provided to us, she was wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.
Dr. Anna did a wonderful job. She had a very gentle way with Samantha, my baby of 14 years. She stroked her and talked to her. Gently wrapped her in the blanket that had been hers and mine when she sat in my lap. SamE was a 65 pound lap dog for 12 of her 14 years. She was a lap dog until she could no longer climb into my lap. Dr. Anna listened to me babble and gave me Kleenex for my tears. I could not have asked for a more gentle passing for our baby. Anyone who uses Dr. Anna’s services would be very pleased.
I learned about CodaPet after getting a brochure at my vet’s office. Pixie was nearly 17 when her time came but it did not make my decision any easier, but I wanted it to be at home. Coda’s staff were wonderful and walked me through the entire process. They were professional, understanding, and empathetic. When Dr. Peterson arrived at my house, I was immediately put at ease by her calm, caring manner. She was so gentle with Pixie, and explained every step she was taking along the way. Luckily the procedure didn’t take long and it was peaceful, for which I’m eternally grateful. The Coda website also has many resources that have helped greatly in the days since Pixie’s passing. I did opt to have Pixie’s ashes returned to me but I can’t speak to that as I have not yet received them; overall I am impressed with the service Coda provided and can’t tell you how glad I am to have found them. If you’re here, my heart goes out to you. Let Coda help, you will not be disappointed.
Dr Peterson was amazing. She was kind and gracious. She took such good care of my girl. This is the worst day in any pet guardian's life, but this process grants our pets so much comfort and kindness in their last moments. I could not have imagined a better experience.
Dr. Peterson was easy to work with. I liked the option of scheduling online. I was finding it difficult to make THAT CALL. So the online scheduling option made it a little easier. My whole family (kids included/ages 11, 16, & 19) was able to be as present as they were comfortable with during the process and were able to step away and rejoin as they needed. She gave us space and time as we needed during the process. She was very respectful and compassionate and reassured me that I was making the right decision for our dog. And we were comfortable in our own environment and Zeus didn’t have the added stress of being brought into a vets office.
We are very thankful to CodaPet and Dr. Anna Peterson. Dr. Anna came to our home on a sleeting, cold night to help us say goodbye Bella. Dr. Anna was gentle and kind. She took her time and gave Bella a sedative before the injection. Bella, who had suffered so much, went to sleep peacefully, in my arms, in her own home. For such a painful event, Dr. Anna did everything she could to ease our girl's passing. WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY.
Dr. Anna made a very terrible time bearable. She is very compassionate and empathetic. So very glad that our regular doctor gave us the information to contact her.
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. Peterson was amazing! She was the exact type of person that we needed at this trying time. Thank you for being so compassionate and understanding.
Anna was fantastic. Personable, professional, and kind. I'm grateful that there are people in this world who can do what she does. Thank you Anna, for making a heartbreaking situation at little bit more peaceful.
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. Anna was caring, knowledgeable, and was able to very comfortably lead us through this painful process. We were very thankful to have us there with us.
When the day came for our beloved Blue's euthanasia, Dr. Peterson handled everything professionally, efficiently, and with great compassion. We would highly recommend Dr. Peterson to anyone having to make that heartbreaking decision.
Absolutely amazing. It was a tough decision and Dr. Anna helped us tremendously throughout the process. Our Carmen was so comfortable with Dr. Anna and the entire experience was truly peaceful. Dr. Anna was so gracious and patient. She is so caring and truly amazing!
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.
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.
I had never met Dr. Peterson until she arrived to euthanize my little boy. He was 16 1/2 years old and had been fine just 2 days earlier. He had 2 days of such a rapid decline and his regular vet was talking about being able to get him in in about a week, which I found to just be cruel. In calling CODApet, they had 2 appointments available that afternoon. I took the 5:00 appointment and let them know my door would be unlocked, so she could just walk in. At 4:30, I brought Carrie into the loving room, put his favorite soft blanket over me and laid him in my lap as I sat in my recliner. Dr. Peterson came through the door as my clocks were chiming 5:00, PERFECTLY on time. She could not have been kinder. She was soft-spoken throughout, explaining every thing she would be doing. She did all she needed to do with Carrie continuing to lie on me and that is where he died. She was empathetic, SO incredibly thoughtful, not seeming rushed, allowing me the time to cry and let her take Carrie when I was ready. I have a second cat that wandered through a bit and she'd talk to him and pet him. I have no idea how many times I said thank you to her. This is the absolute worst time in a pet owner's life but I also believe it's the last thing we can do to love them. Dr. Peterson made this time the easiest she could. I am so thankful for this wonderful, kind woman and this service that didn't make me wait or Carrie suffer. It was the most peaceful time it could have been. I had chosen to have Carrie's ashes returned to me and, coincidentally, they arrived this afternoon. Dr. Peterson had a choice of options for this service as well and my little boy is back home. This woman was an absolute blessing both to me and to the loving care she provided my cat.
I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Anna Peterson. She was so kind, compassionate, and patient throughout the whole process. It takes a special soul to do what she does. Having said goodbye to several pets in my lifetime, I won’t do it any other way. Thank you Dr. Peterson and codapet for what you do.
Having Dr. Peterson come to our home was like having a good friend there. She was a literal angel and made the awful decision I had to make feel like it was the right one. Thank you so much-highly recommend 1000%.
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.
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.
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.
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. ❤️💔
Our beloved dog, Rainy, had a bad fall and hurt himself so badly that he couldn't stand. We were so lucky to have Dr. Anna Peterson nearby. She was able to come to our home that day to give Rainy a peaceful passing. Dr. Peterson was more than kind and caring, she was so gentle with Rainy, and later distracted and played with our puppy so that we could say our last goodbyes to Rainy. I can't say enough about how much we appreciated her kindness and how much it meant to us. It is hard to lose a friend, even if the friend isn't human, and it meant so much to have Dr. Peterson come quickly so that poor Rainy didn't have to suffer, and could pass in his home surrounded by familiar things and the people he loved.
Dr. Peterson is, literally, an answer to my prayers! Words cannot express how grateful we are to have had her come to our home to help us... say goodbye... to our beloved fur-baby, Annie. Nothing was rushed. We talked, as she quickly made friends with both of our dogs. Her compassion & ability to establish rapport is truly amazing! She helped us through an, otherwise, unbearably hard time, and I have since referred to her as an angel. Our precious girl was 14-yrs-old, and had a condition that gradually caused her throat to close up-- making breathing extremely difficult. When it progressed to the point where she was having difficulty even finding a comfortable position to lay in-- we didn't have to make things more stressful for her by hauling her to our vet clinic (with all the noise & commotion there). She was able to quietly & peacefully fall asleep in her own home, in a spot she chose, while I cuddled her. Dr. Peterson then, very compassionately, took care of everything else-- while making sure that we were okay. She left us information on the grief process & contact information for support groups. Having her come to our home may have been more expensive-- but it was worth every cent! Thank God we found her!
I thought Dr.Anna L. Peterson was very understanding and compassionate. I highly recommend her in a time of need. I would recommend her 10/10 times.
I was very impressed and thankful for the doctor. She was extremely knowledgeable, kind, understanding, and a great help. Reassurance that we were doing the right thing, by putting our dog down, was much needed and appreciated. Dr. Peterson made everything easier during the most difficult time.
Dr. Anna did a wonderful job. She had a very gentle way with Samantha, my baby of 14 years. She stroked her and talked to her. Gently wrapped her in the blanket that had been hers and mine when she sat in my lap. SamE was a 65 pound lap dog for 12 of her 14 years. She was a lap dog until she could no longer climb into my lap. Dr. Anna listened to me babble and gave me Kleenex for my tears. I could not have asked for a more gentle passing for our baby. Anyone who uses Dr. Anna’s services would be very pleased.
DR ANNA HELPED US THROUGH THIS DIFFICULT DAY. WE APPRECIATED HER KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE. WE FELT ASSURED THIS WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. THANK YOU
I am so thankful for CodaPet services in a time of need. My senior kitty suffered a quick decline, and Dr. Anna Petersen was kind & caring. She provided information on the process & was very respectful. I would definitely use services again if needed. Very professional. I was also very impressed with timeliness of getting an appointment.
Dr. Anna Peterson, DVM has so much compassion for both animals and humans. She brings her perfect blend of professionalism and loving kindness into your home. Our sweet cat had nothing but the most peaceful and stress free passing. We could not have asked for a better way to say goodbye, and we feel so good knowing that she had the best last day we could have ever given her. We are very grateful for the experience we received with Dr. Peterson and CodaPet. Thank you for providing this beautiful service to pet owners.
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.
We couldn’t have asked for a better doctor to help us through one of the worst times of our life. She was truly human in all the right ways. There was so much care and respect, which in our experience is rare of doctors regarding any discipline or type of patient. I’m so thankful for her.
Dr Peterson was so patient & caring!! She made us so comfortable with saying goodbye to our sweet Bella. I highly recommend her to all our friends & family!!
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.
A wonderful caring and compassionate vet. She made sure we understood everything she was going to do, answering all of our questions. She was wonderful.
Thank you Dr. Anna Peterson for offering at home euthanasia and being so kind, compassionate, caring, informative and helpful. This was one of the hardest days of my life and I'm greatful my Reina got to pass at home in her favorite spot not at the vet where she was stressed. I will miss my dog forever 😢 💔
Dr. Anna Peterson I can not thank you enough for helping my fur son Ceazer cross the rainbow bridge into heaven/ next life! Your diagnosis of what was happening was hard for me to process and accept. With your words you made me see what was right and what he needed me to do for him. My boy was holding on for me and I needed to set his body free to fly high above in the sky! I appreciate you and the hard job you have knowing you are doing the correct thing while hearing hearts break. Well mine did that day and you gave me respect and I thank you! Forever grateful. Rest in peace and comfort my 16 year and 1 day old Boston Terrier Ceazer puppins💝forever in our hearts.
Dr. Peterson made a very hard day into a peaceful one. She treated Roxy with gentleness, love and respect as we helped her cross the rainbow bridge. She was kind and supportive to us as well. Overall, a much better experience compared to going into the vet clinic for euthanasia. We highly recommend Dr. Peterson!
Dr. Peterson was amazing! She made our incredibly difficult situation a little easier. Dr. Peterson was so compassionate and gentle. We can’t possibly express our appreciation for her kindness. Thank you so much!

Dr. Anna Peterson was so kind, caring and compassionate. I cannot tell you what it meant to our family to be able to be with our sweet Eska in our own home. She was surrounded by love and it was so peaceful. Until we meet again sweet girl. I know you are running free.
Dr. Anna was caring, knowledgeable, and was able to very comfortably lead us through this painful process. We were very thankful to have her there with us.
Dr. Peterson provides an honorable service in a kind and gracious way. Having the option to say goodbye to my loved pet at home in a comfortable and stress free environment is a beautiful gift. I would love to extend my deepest thanks to her. She is a wonderful person. I could not have asked for a better experience.
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.
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.
The best way that a horrible thing can be handled. Dr. Anna was amazing, she knew when to be around and when to give us space, when to talk and when to not. She was kind and compassionate and I believe that our boy went as peacefully and feeling as loved as possible.
I had never met Dr. Peterson until she arrived to euthanize my little boy. He was 16 1/2 years old and had been fine just 2 days earlier.

This woman was an absolute blessing both to me and to the loving care she provided my cat.
We are so grateful for Dr. Peterson's expertise and her kind heart! After being told by another vet we needed to put down our kitty, we arranged for Dr. Peterson to come to our home. I don't expect this to be the case that often with these types of things, but lucky for us Dr Peterson has had many years of experience as a GP and seen it all. She examined our kitty Ginger, and to our surprise and relief, Dr Peterson informed us that though Ginger is indeed sick and we don't know when she's going to go, she's not suffering, or in pain or "starving to death" as the other vet put it. We adjusted Ginger's dosage for her meds and she responded well and has been living her best Kitty life for the past two weeks and has even had some improvement. She wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't for Dr. Peterson. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Dr. Peterson was a godsend during a difficult time. She came all the way to our cabin, over 2 hours from her home, allowing us to have our dog Leo rest peacefully and not have to get in the car at the end of his life. She made herself available ahead of the appointment when an unexpected issue came up. She truly went above and beyond to make a difficult time more bearable. Thank you, Dr. Peterson!
It takes a very special person to come into your home and handle a families grieving of losing their pet. There are many words that describe Dr. Anna...... She is very friendly, caring,compassionate, thoughtful and obviously a pet lover. Our decision was extremely difficult but she eased our pain. We know our dog Harie is in a better place and we thank Dr. Anna for being part of our journey.
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.
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.
It was a very difficult time for us especially my wife Doctor Anna came in and right away we felt her compassion for us and Wilbur she treated Wilbur like he was her own she did not rush us through the process taking time to love on Wilbur with us she is a very caring person and I believe she takes her job as a veteran personal if and when we have to do it again we will not hesitate to call codapet and Doctor Anna again and I must add she kissed Wilbur 3 times we do miss Wilbur thank you
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. Peterson couldn't have been better. She arrived promptly and was incredibly caring and thoughtful. Obviously saying goodbye to our loved ones is a difficult time and Dr. Peterson knowing this, was able to just kind of work quietly in the background while we got to spend those last precious moments of love with our cat. It gives me peace of mind knowing that my cat was in her favorite spot and comfortable at home for her passing, highly recommend Dr. Peterson for anyone going through this difficult time.
Dr. Peterson was so compassionate and caring. She really helped us get through this terrible time of having to put our precious dog Lincoln down. She treated him with so much respect and care. When he passed she was so gentle with him, and was so careful taking care of him. I would highly recommend her if you are going through this difficult time with your dog.
Anna was kind, compassionate and understanding on this worst of all days. We really appreciated her scheduling availability and being able to say good-bye to our Rosie girl at home.
I'm so glad I heard about Coda Pets. I was worried Minnesota Pets doesn't serve the Arrowhead region anymore, we had them 5 yrs ago for Doras mom Loki. There's no way I'd bring my dog to a vet clinic to say goodbye. And the one vet that comes out, I've had bad experiences with and was dreading to support them. Doras passing was holy as I got to spoon her and grieve. I arranged for Furever Love to come later so I had time to anoint her body. I barely remember Anna being here, I was out of my mind. , she was kind and respectful. I will tell everyone that has to make this decision about Coda Pets...
We couldn't have asked for a better vet to come to our home to help our dog Nala cross the Rainbow Bridge. We were full of dread and sadness and she made the procedure peaceful and calm and made a very hard day a little easier. We would highly recommend Dr Peterson and this service to anyone who is forced to make this very hard decision. Thank you Dr. Peterson!
Dr. Anna Peterson is one of the most compassionate people we have ever met. Our hearts are broken with the loss of our 9 1/2 year old English Mastiff, Lilly, however, Dr. Peterson was amazing and braved a snow storm on a Sunday to help our baby cross the rainbow bridge. It was such a sad, yet beautiful experience to be able to let our girl go on her favorite spot on our couch, with no pain, no fear, just her humans there to hug and talk to her. I recommend Dr. Peterson to everyone I talk to in the sad event they need to assist their fur baby. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. Our Lilly came home to us a couple of days ago in a beautiful cedar box and perfectly made paw print. Thank you, again.
Special attention and care was given to our fragile little girl who was always scared of strangers. Nobody could have handled it better.
Anna made a difficult situation so much easier. She was extremely kind and informative. She was wonderful with our dearly departed senior cat and with our other cats who were curious as well. I would absolutely love to have her help us again in the future.
Dr. Anna was incredibly compassionate, professional, and most of all very kind! I'm so thankful she provided this service so my dog could pass in the place where she was most comfortable (her home)! Thank you Dr. Anna, Rocky
Dr. Peterson is patient, compassionate and professional. She has amazing bedside manners and respect for our pets . We would absolutely recommend her to anyone without hesitation.
Dr. Anna was the best! She took the time to fully explain the process and made a personal connection with me during the wait for the meds to work. I feel like I made a new friend on the same day I let one go.
Though are meeting with Dr. Peterson was under heartbreaking circumstances since she was going to perform euthanasia on our ailing dog, she made it as bearable as possible. She was right on time, not too early or late, which was good. She was very compassionate and was willing to answer any questions. She spoke as if our dog was the greatest and was so kind to him. I would highly recommend her services.
Dr. Anna came to our house and made a really hard day a lot easier for us and Koda. She explained everything she was going to do and put everyone at ease immediately. Koda was calm on his own bed at home. We all got to love him and be there for him right up to the end, which was the most peaceful passing I could have hoped for him. He simply and peacefully just went to sleep. She wrapped him in blankets and we put him on a stretcher and she took him with her as we had requested he be cremated. I would recommend Dr. Anna, she is kind, caring and makes a really bad day a lot better and leaves you with a peaceful feeling, you know your fur baby was in the best hands. Thank you Dr Anna for helping us make sure Koda made his transition to heaven pain and stress free. ❤️
Dr. Anna Peterson was amazing from the start. She was caring, focused and attentive. This was a very difficult time for me and my senior cat Jj; however, she helped me walk through it. My Jj went peacefully and lovingly at home, which made the process more personal and easier on him. It takes a special person to do what she does and I'm beyond grateful for her.
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
Dr. Anna has the most beautiful soul. Having to make the hardest decision but the right one. she helped so much by listening to our stories of Josie and sharing some stories of her animals. The kindness and gentleness she had with my baby girl Josie was greatly appreciated. Thank you, a thousand times over Tammy, Greg Chelsy and Cody Varney
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.
Dr. Anna was absolutely amazing in every single way! This was the first time I’d ever been in a position to choose when to say goodbye, and although it was by FAR the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do in my whole entire life, Dr. Anna helped me tremendously and she made the whole process as peaceful and as simple as it could possibly be. No words could ever describe how deeply caring, thoughtful and understanding she was throughout the whole entire process. I cannot possibly thank her enough for making our sudden and heartbreaking goodbye as peaceful as one could ever hope for.
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. 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. Peterson was amazing! She was professional, kind, compassionate, and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye to our buddy Shelly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience in such a difficult situation.
Dr. Anna was very kind and compassionate, and she did what she could to ease our stress level. It's always going to be painful, but my wife, Konnie, and I can't say enough good things about how she handled this sad day. We are grateful to have found such a caring vet.
Dr. Peterson provided compassionate, gentle care during one of the hardest moments of my life. She came to our home and treated Akora with such dignity, patience, and kindness, allowing her to pass in the place she was most comfortable. She explained every step with calm reassurance, never rushed us, and held space for our grief in a way that felt deeply human. Her presence brought comfort during a moment that could have been overwhelming and traumatic, and instead felt tender, respectful, and loving. I am grateful to Dr. Peterson for helping Akora cross with peace and grace, and for showing such care. I recommend her to anyone facing this impossible decision and wanting their beloved companion treated with the utmost compassion.
Kindness & true compassion. Dr. Anna provided us so much comfort on the most difficult day you have as a pet parent .🐾🌈 She was kind & gentle with our best friend, Diesel, and a true professional. We are grateful beyond words for the service she provided. Thank you!
Dr Peterson was extremely compassionate, caring and comforting . It was a difficult decision to actually book my appointment however she was able to answer all questions and walked me through the process . I was able to lay with my dog as she proceeded this gave Tres me comfort. Dr Paterson gave me time afterwards to say goodbye in private. My beloved Tres was able to be home with his family in his own bed surrounded by his loved ones.
It takes a very special person to come into your home and handle a families grieving of losing their pet. There are many words that describe Dr. Anna...... She is very friendly, caring,compassionate, thoughtful and obviously a pet lover. Our decision was extremely difficult but she eased our pain. We know our dog Harie is in a better place and we thank Dr. Anna for being part of our journey.
Thinking about my old friend Patrick, my treasured rescue cat who taught me all about trust and loyalty, it was so hard to see him slowly failing after our 17 years together. But things began to change for the better from the moment I contacted Dr. Anna. I could plan the date and time for a quiet morning forecasted to be clear and bright, with no chaotic trip in the car to the vet clinic to worry about. I knew that my old buddy would be loving the sunshine and the quiet of our home that morning. Patrick passed so peacefully in my lap, head cradled in my hand. Thank you, Dr. Anna, for giving us those moments of quiet reflection and peace.
Doctor was patient, kind and loving with our cat. She treated him as though he was hers. I would highly recommend her to help with anyone’s pet.
Such a great experience, during such a difficult event. Dr. Anna Peterson was incredible. So kind, kept things light, and was so skilled. Thank you!
Dr. Anna 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.
So thankful to have found Dr. Anna L. Peterson. She took great care of my dog. It was really hard to let him go but was so happy he was at home when the time came. Very compassionate. Highly recommend.

This was the only pet we have ever had. Our dog tinker was 19 years old, blind, and deaf. Since she was our only pet we didn't know the process of putting her down. It was an emergency and i never thought we couldn't get an appointment at our vet. I had googled your company the night before so when our animal hospital referred Dr. Anna Peterson I felt your company was safe. She had one opening at 7:00 p.m. that day that was perfect for us. She explained everything about the medicine and how it worked. She was so kind and patient. Even when she wrapped tinker in the blanket to bring her to the car she was so gentle with her body. Being at home was a wonderful gift to all of us. I was able to have more peace that tinker could smell her own home. The memorabilia that was included in the price was outstanding.I have told many people about your Doctor and your company and how i would recommend this service for anyone. Thank you so very much! You were a blessing to our family! And thank you for your services to our community.
Myself and my husband had been discussing Charlie’s quality of life for a few days and on Sunday morning we knew it needed to be scheduled as soon as possible. We were able to schedule with Dr. Anna Peterson on Sunday afternoon. Neither of us had been with a pet during Euthanasia and had no idea what to expect. I had been crying for previous 48 hours. Dr. Peterson was a gift to our family. Having an at home option in rural MN was the best thing we could do for our sweet boy. I have felt such relief knowing he passed comfortably at home. Thank you from the Anderson Family!
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.
Anna is very compassionate and answered all questions thoroughly. Was a great help through this difficult decision. I would highly recommend in home services.
We are so grateful for Dr. Peterson and her openness to offer at-home end of life service. Our dog had always been nervous to leave home, and when she began exhibiting end of life symptoms, it broke my heart to think she would not only be in pain, but also suffer from anxiety at the end of her life, having to take her to the clinic for care. Dr. Peterson not only accommodated us in our home, but was gentle and caring. She made our dog feel at ease and never rushed anything.
I can't express enough how grateful I am to Dr. Anna L. Peterson. My cat Korra deteriorated faster than expected and when I reached out to Dr. Peterson to move up our appointment time she responded right away and was at my door in under an hour. Upon arrival she immediately jumped into action and provided Korra the relief she needed. She was kind, respectful, professional and made one of my hardest days a bit easier. I would recommend her to anyone looking for in-home pet euthanasia in the Superior WI area.
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!
This was definitely the way to give your baby wings. My dog was very afraid of the vet office, and i did not want him to be on his last day on earth. Dr Anna was on time, very loving, caring and made us all feel at ease with going forward. She even brought a treat for him, and my very usually picky dog ate it! She was amazing, and I would definitely call on her again. Thank you, Dr Anna. The Hallfrisch's.
When no forewarning that much, I had to make the decision to end my dogs life via euthanasia. That time, that decision, one of the most difficult times in my life. It wasn't going to be easy, to make an appointment and get to the vet, especially being paralyzed/disabled. I found coda and reached out to them. After some brief paperwork, the doctor was at my house later that evening. She was wonderful, which was much needed and wanted in such a horrible time. The doctor was very knowledgeable, kind, and reassured us many times that we were doing the right thing. That helped us all a lot. The fact that my family, and myself, could spend the last moments with my dog in our home where my dog was more comfortable was incredible. The fact that a company, a veterinarian, would come to our house and help out in these difficult times was appreciated by us all. I highly recommend the usage of this company and doctors. It is truly an amazing service that I will always be grateful for.
In what has been one of the hardest goodbyes, Dr Anna Peterson helped bring our beloved Miles peace and comfort in his home. Surrounded by all those that loved him where he was most comfortable. I appreciated that she spent time answering our questions, she reached out prior to check in, and she helped ease some of our anxiety. I am forever thankful that we didn’t have bring Miles somewhere on a holiday where he would have been terrified. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
