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 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

Dr. Anna was so caring, as if it was her own dog. She made a horrible day tolerable. I cannot say enough about the at home service, and how wonderful Dr. Anna was for my dog Evie, and myself. Thank you so much!

Words cannot express how thankful I am for Dr. Anna Peterson and her empathy and compassionate care for our almost 14 year-old lab Spud. This was my first dog and my husband’s first experience being present during pet euthanasia. It was important to us that our kids (ages 3 and 5) were present as well. Dr. Peterson treated Spud with the utmost care and kindness during his last moments. She was clear in explaining the process and worked with efficiency, but it was all done with such compassion that it never felt rushed. She was also amazing with the kids—answering their (seemingly unending!) questions in ways that they could understand. Highly recommend her for anyone with a companion animal who’s reached end-of-life.

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.

When an unexpected diagnosis left us little time to say goodbye to the coolest cat ever (a part of our family and family lore for over sixteen years), we couldn’t imagine Tsing’s final moments in a clinical setting (in addition to the trauma of getting him there). It was difficult to think about a potentially stressful end for a cat whose personality was consistently “chill.” So, when our trusted and most awesome veterinarian explained the services of CodaPet, we could not imagine a better setting. And just as described, Dr. Anna Peterson was simply wonderful – so extremely skilled and competent, while incredibly compassionate and understanding of our situation. We were able to gather our family together, both remotely and in person, to share our favorite “Tsing moments” while Dr. Anna made quiet preparations, allowing us time to say goodbye and be with him until she, ever so gently, eased Tsing into his next cat life. I cannot effectively describe how kind and considerate Dr. Anna was every step of the way. Family present online commented on how they felt included because of her careful attention, calm demeanor, and reassuring explanations. Once he had passed, she gave us all the time we needed, then carefully swaddled Tsing in the coziest of quilts to carry him away. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend an in-home pet euthanasia for a most peaceful end of life experience. And, if you are fortunate to have Dr. Anna Peterson, I know you will be ever so grateful for her expertise, and the tender care your pet receives.

Review by Dr. Anna L. Peterson, DVM

Yes, I miss my sweet girl, but this was made way-less worse by the care Dr Peterson took of Lucy and her people. Anna is a gentle, calming presence who was thoughtful and intentional from her first pets of Lucy to tucking her in a soft blanket as she took Lucy with her. It was the peaceful, compassionate passing my sweet fur-bestie deserved. I’ve already recommended her to several pet-parents and will use her services again. Thanks, Anna.

I was very impressed and thankful for the doctor. She was extremely knowledgeable, kind, understanding, and a great help. Reassurance that we were doing the right thing, by putting our dog down, was much needed and appreciated. Dr. Peterson made everything easier during the most difficult time.
