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

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.

Review by Dr. Keri Wasmoen

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.

We had Dr. Keri Wasmoen. I can confidently say I am glad we chose her. She walked us through every step making sure our dog was comfortable along with us. She never once rushed and always went with our dogs time. She was so kind, gentle, patient, loving and brought peace into our home. Dr.Keri was very professional but also took the time to be there for not just our dog but for us on a level of personally connecting. I HIGHLY recommend Dr.Keri if deciding for home euthanasia for your pet.

We want to express deepest gratitude for the extraordinary compassion and care Dr. Keri showed during a difficult time. Her professionalism, kindness, and empathy were evident in every interaction The comfort she gave our Dewey and the support she offered us, went far beyond medical care. Dr. Keri made a heartbreaking experience a little more bearable with her compassion and care.

Keri was a very calm and compassionate person helping us through the process during a very difficult time for us. Although it is so hard to say goodbye, we're glad that we were able to do it at home since Harley was family.
