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
Having Dr Wasmoen come to our home for our sweet Sophie was a godsend! She was so calming. It allowed Sophie the comfort of being in a place she knew, it allowed my children to be there to say goodbye. It also allowed my other dogs to say goodbye as well. I would recommend CodaPet a million times over!
I always thought when it was time I had to bring my dog to a vet. I was told you can do it at home and I said yes immediately. In home euthanasia was amazing. My dog was comfortable and at home where I wanted him to be when it was his time. Dr. Keri was amazing. She made sure I knew I was making the right decision for my dog. She made him comfortable x2 before starting the euthanasia medicine. She let me have all the time I needed after he had passed to say goodbye. I recommend in-home euthanasia to anyone making that decision for their family member. Picture of my baby of 14 years eating his last meal.
Dr Keri Wasmoen was a light in such a dark situation. I was so confident and comfortable going though this process with her. She is so caring and calming I cant put in to words. It would be such a hard job walking families through this process but the comfort she gives our beloved pets and families, I cant say enough good things about her. What a caring and compassionate vet!!!
She was so sweet when I was having an absolute melt down letting ym sweet old girl cross the rainbow bridge. She talked through every moment and made sure there was no pain at all. I cant thank you enough for helping us. Such a beautiful service you offer.
Like all pet owners making the decision to end your pet’s life is one of the hardest decisions you will make in your life. So, when our little dog's medical condition began to worsen, and it became apparent that her getting better was not an option we prayed on the decision to euthanize our beloved dog. We had heard of "in home pet euthanasia" from friends and decided to explore that option. We were glad we did and found a wonderful, compassionate and professional Vet that specialized in home euthanasia. Dr. Keri Wasmoen with Codapet was recommended by a friend and we could not have been more pleased with how she handled the last moments of our precious dog's life. From the moment she arrived we were set at ease and given comfort during the process. Dr. Wasmoen took care of everything with unbelievable patience and professionalism. She has a three-step process that gradually leads to the end with a calm and clear explanation of each step and what your pet is experiencing. Dr. Wasmoen made the experience comforting and much easier than we had expected. We feel that our dogs last moments were peaceful and loving and as hard as it was Dr. Wasmoen consoled us and took care of all the details which made the process easier to deal with. We highly recommend Dr. Keri Wasmoen for any pets Euthanasia.
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.
