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.

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.

Review by Dr. Keri Wasmoen

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

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

Review by Dr. Keri Wasmoen

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 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 🙏
