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. Wasmoen was extremely understanding and compassionate. She explained every step of the process and sweetly tolerated our other two dogs who were over curious and barking. She earned our trust so quickly that she made a very sad and difficult day as bearable as possible. We are forever grateful.

Review by Dr. Keri Wasmoen

Dr. Kari Wasmoen came to our home last week to help my 21-year-old kitty complete her journey in peace and relative comfort. While it was a heartbreaking event, Dr. Kari did everything in her power to make it peaceful and comfortable for my kitty and my family. She was a kind, calming presence. She explained everything clearly and calmly and treated my cat and our family with the utmost respect. It was my first time using an in-home pet euthanasia service, and the experience was so much more pleasant and meaningful than I think it would have been in vet's office. I hope it is a long, long, time before I need these services again, but I would absolutely use CodaPet and Dr. Kari Wasmoen again.

During one of the worst weeks ever, knowing I had to say so long to my most trusted companion, it was a small light to find CodaPet. Dr Keri was so compassionate and kind for both Journey and I. Even though I probably wasn’t making much sense, she held us both with deep care. In home pet euthanasia was a phenomenal choice for us and CodaPet shone through our grief. Deeply grateful!

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

Never easy to say goodbye to our pets, but finding CodaPet online I took a chance on them. Dr. Keri was very thoughtful and thorough on how the process would go and made sure we had the time needed for our goodbye. Also, I appreciated the communication I received along the way leading to the appointment. Highly recommend Dr Keri!

The whole process, while extremely difficult for us emotionally, was handled in a thoughtful, professional, caring way that really helped us work through a sad and difficult decision. Dr. Keri explained things thoroughly and never rushed us in any way, gave us time to handle our grief, and was genuinely empathetic. She was gentle and kind to our sweet kitten. This was obviously an incredibly hard thing to go through, but we were very glad for the support that Dr. Wasmoen gave us.
