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 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

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.

We had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to our sweet Stella, and we chose at-home euthanasia so she could be surrounded by love in her own space. From the moment Dr. Keri Wasmoen arrived, her kindness and empathy were evident. She spoke softly, gave us the time and space to say goodbye, and made sure Stella was comfortable every step of the way. The entire experience was handled with such compassion, dignity, and care. Stella felt safe and loved up to her very last moment with us. Every step was explained gently, and she treated Stella like she truly mattered. We will always be grateful for how peaceful she made such a heartbreaking moment. It didn’t feel rushed or clinical—it felt like a peaceful, loving goodbye. We truly couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate experience during such a difficult time.

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.

Review by Dr. Keri Wasmoen

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.
