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 provided us the best service for the worst day. The gentleness of her services and understanding of explaining everything to my kids was so helpful. Everything was thought of, nothing I would have changed. If we ever need this service again, this is who we will call.
As difficult as this process was, Dr Keri was so kind, empathetic, and calm. She made our Luna feel very loved. I appreciated that she didn’t make the process feel rushed and she was really good at explaining what she was about to do, which helped my children understand. Highly recommend Dr Keri.
Dr. Keri Wasmoen was an angel for our family and for our beloved cat,Vinci. She provided peace, calm, and a serene atmosphere. We miss our cat so much, but we have absolutely no negative feelings associated with his passing because Dr. Keri Wasmoen came into his space and offered him, and us, a beautiful opportunity to look back on his last minutes with surety that he was at peace.
Dr. Wasmoen was very comforting for us during this difficult time. We had to make the decision to put down 2 of our senior dogs, so it was extremely difficult and a very sensitive time. She was calm and collected, she explained everything wonderfully. She gave us time alone with them both after they passed. The in-home pet euthanasia was the right choice for our family. With a 6 month old at home also, it was much more comfortable for us to all be together in our home. I couldn't imagine taking my babies to a scary vets office to send them over the rainbow bridge. I'm so glad I found this option for us, and I have already been telling many friends and family about the option. It's definitely worth every penny. We got to keep some of their fur, and we also got paw print keepsakes as well. Dr. Wasmoen bundled them up in soft blankets when she took them, and handled all of the cremation process afterwards. 100% recommend. Sad situation, but a comfortable experience.
Dr. Keri was a consummate professional with just the right balance of kindness, patience and compassion. The entire process was easy to navigate, timely and so very dignified for our precious dog. We debated initially about the cost benefit of doing this at home vs at the vet. Hands down it was the right decision. Dr Keri carefully explained every step along the way and made sure we understood. Our dog was comfortable, surrounded by her favorite people and took her last breath gently and painlessly. We are grateful.
Dr. Wasmoen was extremely understanding and compassionate. She explained every step of the process and sweetly tolerated our other two dogs who were over curious and barking. She earned our trust so quickly that she made a very sad and difficult day as bearable as possible. We are forever grateful.
