Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I've always surrounded myself with animals (perk of being a country kid with very understanding parents), and decided to be a veterinarian before I even started kindergarten. After being in clinical practice for 14.5 years, I've developed a passion for physical rehabilitation, hospice, and end-of-life care. I consider it a deep privilege to help pets and clients through the most difficult stage of the human- animal bond.

What pet parents are saying

Thank you Dr. Anna Peterson for offering at home euthanasia and being so kind, compassionate, caring, informative and helpful. This was one of the hardest days of my life and I'm greatful my Reina got to pass at home in her favorite spot not at the vet where she was stressed. I will miss my dog forever 😢 💔

Dr.Peterson was such a blessing to have during our last moments with our pup. She made us feel very comfortable off the bat. She guided us through such a hard situation. I never felt rushed and she really took the time to know us as a family unit. I can tell she is well experienced and compassion driven. I would recommend her to anyone!

I am so thankful for CodaPet services in a time of need. My senior kitty suffered a quick decline, and Dr. Anna Petersen was kind & caring. She provided information on the process & was very respectful. I would definitely use services again if needed. Very professional. I was also very impressed with timeliness of getting an appointment.

I had never met Dr. Peterson until she arrived to euthanize my little boy. He was 16 1/2 years old and had been fine just 2 days earlier. He had 2 days of such a rapid decline and his regular vet was talking about being able to get him in in about a week, which I found to just be cruel. In calling CODApet, they had 2 appointments available that afternoon. I took the 5:00 appointment and let them know my door would be unlocked, so she could just walk in. At 4:30, I brought Carrie into the loving room, put his favorite soft blanket over me and laid him in my lap as I sat in my recliner. Dr. Peterson came through the door as my clocks were chiming 5:00, PERFECTLY on time. She could not have been kinder. She was soft-spoken throughout, explaining every thing she would be doing. She did all she needed to do with Carrie continuing to lie on me and that is where he died. She was empathetic, SO incredibly thoughtful, not seeming rushed, allowing me the time to cry and let her take Carrie when I was ready. I have a second cat that wandered through a bit and she'd talk to him and pet him. I have no idea how many times I said thank you to her. This is the absolute worst time in a pet owner's life but I also believe it's the last thing we can do to love them. Dr. Peterson made this time the easiest she could. I am so thankful for this wonderful, kind woman and this service that didn't make me wait or Carrie suffer. It was the most peaceful time it could have been. I had chosen to have Carrie's ashes returned to me and, coincidentally, they arrived this afternoon. Dr. Peterson had a choice of options for this service as well and my little boy is back home. This woman was an absolute blessing both to me and to the loving care she provided my cat.

Though are meeting with Dr. Peterson was under heartbreaking circumstances since she was going to perform euthanasia on our ailing dog, she made it as bearable as possible. She was right on time, not too early or late, which was good. She was very compassionate and was willing to answer any questions. She spoke as if our dog was the greatest and was so kind to him. I would highly recommend her services.
