Verified Veterinarian
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 Wasnoen is an angel on earth. She made, what could of been a horrible experience, into a beautiful and compassionate one. Choosing in home euthanasia was an easy decision but choosing a company was difficult. I would choose CodaPet again for their thoughtfulness and communication. They were with us every step of the way, from the time we made the appointment to after the passing. I knew from the moment Dr. Wasmoen arrived we were in good hands. She was so patient, loving and kind. She explained everything and told us what to expect. I knew our precious kitty was going to feel nothing but love. Thank you so very much for your continued love and support Derek and Bari Brouillet
Dr. Keri arranged to assist us with Fawns Soul Return Home and her gentle approach throughout the experience provided us the quietest heartbreak we've ever had to walk through. Our decision was a release from terrible pain our Sweet fur Babygirl was in. We're both very grateful 🙏
Dr. Wasmoen made a very difficult day less so. She gently guided us through the process that was going to unfold allowing us to take the time we needed at each phase. She was calm and understanding and extremely professional.
My dog was 15 years old at the time that we had to make this difficult decision. My family loved him, and he always gave more love back than we ever could have. Seeing him in growing pain the last few days was a lot to deal with, and an at home euthanasia seemed like the most comfortable and timely option to help our dog through the pain. We got Dr. Keri Wasmoen, and she did everything and more that our dog needed to pass on comfortably. She was as gentle and loving as our dog always was during the appointment, and I'm glad she was there to help him cross over.
Thank you to Dr Keri and all of CodaPet. Our sweet boy gets car sick and I didn't want him to feel anxious or rushed in his last moments. It was a very calm and peaceful experience. Dr Keri listened to us and to Miko throughout the whole process. I would recommend this route for anyone who has to say goodbye to their fur baby. Thank you again, it meant the world to us.
Dr. Keri has a loving, calm, and experienced presence during such a difficult experience. We are so grateful that she was available to come to our house and help us send off Daisy Mae in such a peaceful way.
During one of the worst weeks ever, knowing I had to say so long to my most trusted companion, it was a small light to find CodaPet. Dr Keri was so compassionate and kind for both Journey and I. Even though I probably wasn’t making much sense, she held us both with deep care. In home pet euthanasia was a phenomenal choice for us and CodaPet shone through our grief. Deeply grateful!
Very professional, Keri thoroughly expained how the procedure would go, our elderly cat was calm and quiet which was really wonderful as she wasn't very social anymore. We have had pets euthanized at the vet. This experience was sooooo much less stressful for our sweet girl, as well as for us.highly recommend Kerri at codapet
Dr. Keri was so compassionate and kind with us, especially under the circumstances of saying goodbye to our girl. Losing Dixie was sudden and unexpected. We truly felt she cared for us. We never felt rushed. She was the best.
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.
Keri was very professional and a calming energy to be around during our difficult time with our cat . She walked us through everything and was detailed about the process which made us feel safe during the process . Under the circumstances she was wonderful to work with and we are so grateful for her help . I would recommend her to anyone needing to go through pet end of life care . Thank you again Dr. Keri .❤️
Dr. Wasomen went above and beyond to make sure our beloved Evey was comfortable and that we and her bonded partner had time to say his good byes to her.
Dr. Keri Wasmoen was very kind. She helped us through a very difficult time. Our cat Snooks would always get anxious during the drive to the clinic. We wanted her to be at home and comfortable. Dr. Kari was very calming and explained everything to us ahead of time. Thank you very much.
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.
My husband and I think she is absolutely amazing. She was so kind and thoughtful during the entire process. Communicated everything that was happening. It was such a hard decision that she helped make a little less hard and we so appreciate that.
Dr. Keri was showed incredible empathy during a very traumatic experience for our family. She was very comforting and very professional. We appreciate all she did during for us during this difficult time.
In home pet euthanasia with Dr. Keri - Dr. Keri was extremely kind and understanding throughout the entire process as we were all grieving, as a family, losing our very beloved cat, Smokey. Dr. Keri explained the procedure step by step and also explained again as she administered each medication, and reassured us that Smokey would not be in any pain. If you're looking for a personal experience without the stress of the vet's office, I absolutely recommend Dr. Keri with CodaPet.
Dr. Keri was kind, comforting and professional. She made a very difficult day a little easier to handle for our family, as we knew our sweet boy was receiving the respect and care he deserved.
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.
We really appreciated Dr. Keri Wasmoen helping us with our pet's peaceful passing at home. It was a heartbreaking experience for us, but made much better by allowing our pet to move on peacefully at home and Dr. Keri was truly a blessing with her help.
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.
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 !
Dr. Keri was amazing! In such a difficult time for our family, I could not have asked for a better person to help us through it. Thank you so much Dr. Keri!
I was lucky to find a spot and book online for the next day after deciding to put our dog, Daisy, out of her misery. We didn't know who the vet would be, but were very lucky to have such a calm, knowledgeable, and thoughtful person in Dr.Keri. Everything went smoothly, they sent text reminders and notices that she was on her way. She gave us whatever time we need with Daisy afterward. She had a nice stretcher to take Daisy away in a respectful way. Dr. Keri had a peaceful and respectful presence during the process that was very helpful for such a sad experience. I highly recommend.
Dr Kari was so kind and compassionate. She did an excellent job of explaining every part of the process and allowed us time to say good bye. I highly recommend her.
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.Keri came into our home to put down our beloved cat. She was very sweet and empathetic to our situation and told us to take our time, did not rush the process. She gave me a sweet paw imprint and tiny jar of my tortie's fur to put next to her urn. I highly recommend Dr.Keri to anyone in this situation. ❤️
Keri was very understanding and it made me feel like she cared about what I was going through. She went through the steps very well and explained what was going to happen. She also gave us a nice gift paw print of our pet which is a item I will cherish forever.
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 Wasmoen, Took excellent care of Hunter & myself. She let me know the whole process to what she doing and how Hunter was more than likely to react, everything she said and did was very gentle and made everything a bit more comfortable. Although it was an extremely sad day for me, knowing that she made Hunters passing as easy as possible. I would highly recommend Keri. Also I’d like to thank her for taking great care and compassion to Hunter and I
Dr. Keri Wasnoen did an amazing job with my girl Isla. She was professional and empathetic and overall great. She made my difficult day go as smoothly as possible. I’m at peace knowing that Isla left this world in the most beautiful way. I have no regrets.
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.
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!!!
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 Keri was so kind and supportive. She explained every step and took her time. The whole experience was so comforting. Being able to hold my 19 year old beloved cat AJ on my couch, as he closed his eyes one last time put me at peace.
I apologize for the late review; it's been incredibly hard without Navi....Even typing this has me crying.. Dr. Keri is an amazing, kind, caring, person. People like her are Angels and I'm grateful she was there for me and Navi. I would recommend her to everyone and anyone who needs to say goodbye to their furbaby , saying goodbye was hard but at least she was at home<3
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.
It’s hard to find words even now. In an incredibly tough time and moment she was kind, understanding and patient. I’m thankful it was Keri and would recommend her to anyone having to go through this.
We finally had to accept that our rescue dog of 14+ years was not experiencing an adequate quality of life. We did not want to cause more trauma to Lady, nor could we manage the transportation challenges - so were so pleased that we found CodePet as the solution. Dr Keri was so caring to Lady- but also to us. The service is even better than advertised. The process provided a caring, sensitive environment within our own home, and Dr. Keri was calm and gentle in her interaction with Lady and with us! I have already recommended this very special service to a family member with an elderly dog -- including the information/ education from their website. Thank you. KJ and SJ
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 was Fabulous!! She took such a loving approach to my Big Boy Radar! He acknowledged her with a kiss, in which he was never one to give too many. I believe he knew she was there to help him cross over. And to ease his pain. I am so Grateful that I chose CodaPet and had her as his Dr. She’s the Best, so passionate and caring about what she does and how. I Highly Recommend anyone needing this sad unfortunate service to call them and ask for her. And I know I’m speaking for Radar as well. Knowing he was in so much pain and ready for the journey. Thank you so much Dr. Keri for being so kind and supportive. Taking care of my Baby 💔💔🐾🐾
Dr. Keri was so sympathetic and professional yet not stuffy. Explained what she was doing and what was happening with Honey as she passed. I would recommend Dr. Keri for your vet when the time is near to put your pet to sleep.
A 5 star rating isn’t a high enough mark for the wonderful work that Dr. Keri Wasmoen does. She deserves nothing less than 10 stars! Her gentle demeanor and thoughtful care helped my family say good bye to our beloved Piper. Thank you Dr. Keri!!
Dr. Kari Wasmoen came to our home last week to help my 21-year-old kitty complete her journey in peace and relative comfort. While it was a heartbreaking event, Dr. Kari did everything in her power to make it peaceful and comfortable for my kitty and my family. She was a kind, calming presence. She explained everything clearly and calmly and treated my cat and our family with the utmost respect. It was my first time using an in-home pet euthanasia service, and the experience was so much more pleasant and meaningful than I think it would have been in vet's office. I hope it is a long, long, time before I need these services again, but I would absolutely use CodaPet and Dr. Kari Wasmoen again.
So kind and empathetic, made a really terrible situation peaceful and comforting. Gave our girl a very respectful and peaceful crossing. Couldn’t recommend Dr. Keri enough.
Dr. Keri was wonderful, she was very patient and kind with us during the entire process, and explained in detail answers to any questions we had. I am very grateful this service exists, because I could not imagine going through this at a vet office instead of the comfort of our home. It was especially peaceful for my fur baby, he was with us for fourteen years, and left peacefully. <3
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.
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 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. 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 so helpful and caring when we had to say goodbye to our 7 year old dane. She explained everything fully and was so patient with us. If we ever have to do this sad ordeal again, I would definitely have Dr. Wasmoen do it.
Dr. Keri was the epitome of compassion. I was so impressed with her empathy, her step by step explanations, and her calming presence. We were very thankful for her at this very difficult time for us.
Wow. She was amazing at a very difficult and emotional time. She thoughtfully explained everything and helped us properly transition Stanley in the most loving way. Thank you for doing the hard work you do. Forever grateful 💓
Exceptional compassion and gentleness. I would recommend her services to anyone in need of excellent in home euthanasia for your beloved friend.
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.
Keri was such a kind person and made this horrible day for our family as easy on us and our beloved Loki as possible. Our dog Loki was comfortable with her from the moment she arrived. She showed real care and concern for us all and showed Loki so much love. She was gentle and not rushed, guided us step by step through the process and did not make the situation uncomfortable or strained by having an outsider there. We really appreciated the gentle and kind way she approached us all, especially Loki, she made a terribly sad day less bad for our family. Highly recommend Keri.
Dr. Wasmoen was absolutely wonderful and an incredible support during the difficult process of saying goodbye to our sweet girl, Coco. Her kindness, empathy, and patience made a world of difference. Dr. Wasmoen's compassion truly put Coco and our family at ease, and we are deeply grateful for her gentle care and understanding.
Dr Keri was so thought in every way she moved, tone of voice, demeanor, and empathy. She explained everything prior and during. She allowed us to grieve and made sure our Daisy was so comfortable. I cannot recommend Dr Keri enough. Thank you.
Even with our beloved pets, saying goodbye is heartbreaking. When my dog receives a terminal diagnosis- I had to help him no longer suffer, no more pain or nausea. Dr. Keri Wasmoen was a true blessing, with her in home euthanasia services. She provided the needed services to help my pet move onto a better place, in the comfort of our own home. comforting me as the process was carried out. If you also have to make the difficult decision- please consider in home euthanasia.
Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the hardest decisions a family can make, but doing it at home made all the difference. From the moment Dr. Keri arrived, she brought an incredible sense of calm, compassion, and professionalism that helped ease our pain during such a heartbreaking time. Our pet was able to pass peacefully in his favorite spot, surrounded by love, in the comfort and quiet of home. It was a moment filled with both sorrow and beauty, and we are so grateful to have had the support of someone who truly understands the depth of the human-animal bond. I cannot express enough how much this service meant to our family. If you're facing this painful decision, know that choosing in-home pet euthanasia offers a gentle, loving goodbye—and in the hands of someone as compassionate as Dr. Keri, it can be a deeply meaningful experience.
Very kind, caring, and compassionate throughout the process. Dr. Wasmoen made a very difficult time a little bit easier. We appreciate her kind words throughout this process. Thank you.
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.
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!
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.
In a time that was unbelievably sad for our family, Dr. Wasmoen was a true light. She showed us all such care and compassion and helped make our last moments with Roger peaceful. She explained all the steps thoroughly to help ease any anxiety we felt. We are thankful for Dr. Wasmoen and would recommend her to anyone experiencing a loss.
We are so thankful for the way Dr. Keri helped our beloved cat pass peacefully in our home. It was not stressful for our cat and Dr. Keri's calming and empathetic presence was truly a gift. She is a hero in our eyes.
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.
Dr. Keri did an absolutely amazing job at comforting Butterfly, our precious kitty, and our entire family when she came to our home to ease Butterfly out of her pain and help her cross the rainbow bridge. Dr. Keri's soft voice and gentle ways made the experience easier for all of us. We cannot thank her enough. We miss Butterfly with our whole hearts. It is the most beautiful thing to have a precious little fur baby come into your life and bring SO much joy. ❤️
Dr.Keri Wasmoen was our Soul Returning angel of mercy. The deep gentle sincere compassion was evident with everything she said and did. I am raw brokenhearted to my core but strangely at peace because of her and the availability of home departure. Fawn my sweet Sweet girl I know you know how precious you 💕 have been in my life...We will be together again...Sweetie Kitty misses you toooooo
Difficult as it was, we made the right decision to euthanize our dear friend Harper after learning of her serious medical condition. We heard of Dr. Wasmoen through our veterinary clinic. She was outstanding in helping us get through the process. Dr. Wasmoen made herself available when we finally made the decision to euthanize Harper at our home. Her communication skills were excellent. Dr. Wasmoen clearly explained what she was doing, how our dog could respond & allowed us the time we needed to get through it. We were both very emotional & Dr. Wasmoen was gentle, comforting & supportive. Our dear Harper left our home peacefully in her care in a comfortable basket. We are grateful for her outstanding care and highly recommend Dr. Wasmoen. Arlene & Rob
My dog Maggie would have been 14 years on September 10th. She fought so hard to make it till her birthday, but at the end she was struggling. I know we all wish that our pets (ourselves as well) would just fall asleep and pass peacefully, but that didn't happen. The Dr had told me she had congestive heart failure two weeks before, and she declined rapidly. I could not stand to see her struggling. My family decided to help her on her journey. That was the hardest decision I have ever made. Maggie was my companion, my best friend, my baby, my confidant, my snuggle buddy, my walking partner, my travel partner, my everything. I rescued her when she was about 10 months old. I wanted her to be at peace, not in any pain, able to let go and rest. Dr. Keri Wasmoen from CodaPet came to my house and was so kind, so compassionate, so patient, so wonderful. I appreciated very much how when she arrived, she didn't automatically go into the "clinical" aspects of what was happening/going to happen. She sat down on the floor and took some time to let Maggie feel comfortable with her. There was no fear, no anxiety on Maggie's part, and that is because Dr. Keri took that time to ease into everything. She explained step by step what was happening and when, and what to expect and when. She went at our pace. She did not rush anything. She gave my family time to have private, alone time with Maggie after she passed. She wrapped Maggie up in a snuggly blanket. She gave me a lovely box with one of Maggie's paw prints in it, Maggie's name engraved in it, and a space for Maggie's picture. The whole thing was calm, peaceful, loving, compassionate, and I so appreciated everything Dr. Keri did to make Maggie's transition easy for all of us. I would never want to go through that process again, it was so painful on my heart, but I know it was the right decision and I am so grateful that it was Dr. Keri that came and was with us during the process. I would definitely recommend CodaPet and Dr. Keri Wasmoen to anyone that may need to make a decision like I did. I will miss my Maggie every day and will cherish the memories I have of her until I see her again. Maggie Moon 9/10/11 - 8/30/24
Our beloved 15yo ginger cat never liked the car ride to the vet so we decided to keep her as calm as possible when the time came. We can't express how thankful we were to have had Dr Keri help us cross Sunny over the rainbow bridge. Dr Keri was amazing the minute she walked into our house asking about Sunny, how we were doing, explaining the process and telling us to take our time. The hardest decision to make was eased with compassion, tenderness and grace thanks to Dr Keri. She is sincerely appreciated in our household.
Dr. Kari was so understanding to the pain Miss Holly and we were going thru. She discussed with us about what our Miss Holly was going thru and what she would be going thru during the euthanasia. She said that this would relive her suffering. She also acknowledged our grief associated with saying goodbye to Miss Holly. Dr Kari was very sympathetic and compassionate; she listened and understood our sorrow. We really like to thank her again for helping Miss Holly and us.
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
Dr. Keri brought an incredible amount of warmth and understanding to a very hard day for our family. She was so kind while maintaining a steady sense of professionalism. We felt comfortable having her in our home, and were so well held by her. We consider ourselves lucky to have had Dr. Keri be the vet to help us say goodbye to such an important member of our family. Thank you Dr. Keri.
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.
Dr Keri Wasmoen was a blessing! She felt like a member of our family as she gently led us through the process. She was so genuine and sincere. She made a very difficult day a little easier as her peaceful demeanor made us all feel calm and at peace.
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.
Keri was nothing short of wonderful. She explained every bit of the process as we went through it. She spoke with a caring tone and truly seemed to care for Teddy. In the end, it was a very nice touch as she used a basket and blanket to make his last ride cozy.
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!
