Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
At a previous practice, Dr. Wasmoen was able to provide in-home euthanasia services to a limited degree. It didn’t take long to realize that while these services are of vital importance, they were in short supply. Dr. Wasmoen was drawn to provide this type of care to allow families to say goodbye to their beloved companions in a familiar, loving, and private environment which can make a world of difference in these difficult situations. CodaPet in particular allows veterinarians to tailor patient care to individual pets and provides the ability to service many communities, extending the option for a peaceful in-home goodbye sometimes outside the range of other veterinary providers.

What pet parents are saying
The whole process, while extremely difficult for us emotionally, was handled in a thoughtful, professional, caring way that really helped us work through a sad and difficult decision. Dr. Keri explained things thoroughly and never rushed us in any way, gave us time to handle our grief, and was genuinely empathetic. She was gentle and kind to our sweet kitten. This was obviously an incredibly hard thing to go through, but we were very glad for the support that Dr. Wasmoen gave us.
I spent nearly 5000 days with Gus. I wavered back and forth between making his last appointment with his primary vet or going with an in-home service. I ultimately chose Dr. Keri through Codapet. I don't think I could have said goodbye in a more kinder, gentler or respectful way. Dr. Keri was so incredibly caring, knowledgeable and patient on which was probably the most difficult day of my tired old life. The pain of the loss will forever linger but I feel comfort knowing that we said goodbye in the best of ways on the best of terms. Thank you Dr. Keri. Sincerely, Gus & Tom.
Dr. Wasmoen is so calm and caring during a very difficult time. Our beloved 14 yr old dog had been recently diagnosed with diabetes and we made the decision not to treat. So, when the time came to have him put to sleep, I came in contact with Dr. Wasmoen through Coda-pet. She came to our home and was so kind and considerate of our feelings and even reassured me that it was the right thing to do. She explained everything that would happen very clearly before and while she was doing the procedure. We had as much time as we wanted to spend with him afterwards and she took him out in a basket wrapped in a blanket. Every step of the process was so well done. We received his paw print, some of his hair and later, his ashes. It was such a difficult time but she made it a peaceful ending to his wonderful life.
Dr. Keri made what could have been a very stressful and traumatic experience (for us and for our pet) a peaceful and beautiful one. Our pet’s comfort was her top priority. She explained each step of the way professionally and compassionately. I highly recommend her services. I imagine that providing this service takes a special person with a passion for the dignity and care of our 4-legged friends..and Dr. Keri is such a person.
Hi Dr. Keri, It is with heartfelt gratitude I write this message to you. Your compassion and warmth, in addition to the time you dedicated to assisting us with Augie's passing was such a positive experience -- both for Augie and our family. You provided us with guidance on how to allow Augie to feel calm leading up to the morning of your arrival at our home with your suggestion of CBD treats and that feeling continued throughout the experience. With your guidance, Augie was able to pass peacefully in the comfort of his home. This enabled our family the space and time necessary to begin the grieving process together and was a humane, respectful and gentle experience, one that we will cherish. Thank you, Andy Miller
I’m could not have imagined a better vet to help my Roux pass. So caring and understanding! She was very patient and kind to both the humans and animals in my home.
