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 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.
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. 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.
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 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.
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.
