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.

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.

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

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 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.
