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
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 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.
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.
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
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.
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 💔💔🐾🐾
