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

Dr. Keri was wonderful! She communicated with us through the entire process from the point we scheduled to when we got our dogs Ashes. She was kind, respectful, understanding, and informative. She was a calm presence on a very hard day. She allowed us to grieve, process, and say goodbye to a member of our family without feeling rushed or judged. I will recommend Dr. Keri and the Coda service to anyone who has to make this decision.

Review by Dr. Keri Wasmoen

Thank you, CodaPet, for helping make one of the most heartbreaking moments—saying goodbye to my sweet pup Mia—a little more bearable. Dr. Keri was incredibly compassionate and supportive throughout the entire process. She gently explained each step of the procedure, helping me understand what was happening and what to expect. What meant the most, though, was that it didn’t feel like just a service or a job to her. She took the time to ask about Mia, to learn what made her special, and to truly honor her memory. Thank you for being there for me—and for so many others—during such a difficult time. Your care and empathy mean more than words can express.

We recently made the incredibly difficult decision to say goodbye to our beloved kitty, Mapache, who was 18 years old. After reviewing his rapidly declining health with our veterinarian—he had not eaten in a week, was losing weight and strength, and was becoming increasingly distant and confused—it was clear his condition was not going to improve. We wanted to spare him further suffering or a traumatic passing, and above all, ensure his final moments were peaceful and dignified. Dr. Keri Wasmoen was recommended to us, and after reading about her experience and her reasons for specializing in in-home euthanasia, we knew she was the right person to help us through this. Choosing to have Mapache remain at home—rather than endure a frightening car ride and an unfamiliar clinical setting—was one of the best decisions we made. Dr. Keri was exceptional from the moment she arrived. She was professional, empathetic, calm, and deeply caring. She took time to explain every step of the process so we knew exactly what to expect, never rushed us, and always centered Mapache’s comfort and dignity. Her presence was genuine and reassuring during an incredibly emotional and sensitive experience. She thoughtfully outlined our options, allowed us to make decisions at our own pace, and ensured Mapache was as comfortable as possible throughout each step. Afterward, with our permission, she provided a beautifully prepared paw print kit with his name stenciled on it and space for a photo, along with a small bottle containing a lock of his fur—gestures that meant more to us than we can express. At one point, I told her that she must have such a hard job. She gently replied that we, as responsible pet owners, had the hardest job of all—and that we were doing the right thing. That reassurance was incredibly meaningful and comforting in the moment. We recommend Dr Keri without reservation.

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 Wamoen was the best when the time came to euthanize our beloved dog Teddy who had been with us for 17 wonderful years! She was so compassionate and caring and made something so hard to do seem ok. She was so thorough and explained the whole process step by step. She left us with Teddy’s paw print and picture holder and a lock of his hair to treasure 💕 We would recommend her services again and again. Thanks again Dr Keri !

Never easy to say goodbye to our pets, but finding CodaPet online I took a chance on them. Dr. Keri was very thoughtful and thorough on how the process would go and made sure we had the time needed for our goodbye. Also, I appreciated the communication I received along the way leading to the appointment. Highly recommend Dr Keri!
