Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Early on, I had a tremendous fascination with animals of all kinds, I found comfort and compassion from them in times of need as a child and on into adulthood. In elementary school, I would be the first to take care of the class pet. There were many: anoles (lizards), hamsters, and guinea pigs to name a few. Science classes intrigued me and were where I excelled. My anatomy class in high school sealed the deal. Ultimately, I wanted to care for animals and challenge myself to solve medical problems. Over time, it progressed to caring for not only the animal but also for their human owners. I have always offered at-home euthanasia services, having performed them for my own personal pets, and I realized the more peaceful experience for all involved. The last several years I've provided oncology (cancer) services to clients and their pets. With this comes the knowledge that even with treatment, most cancers will be terminal, and providing in-home end-of-life service to the numerous pets I treated in this capacity reinforced firsthand how beneficial in-home euthanasia is to the pet and their family when it comes time, allowing for the most gentle and tranquil passing.

What pet parents are saying
Saying goodbye to our beloved pet was terribly difficult, but Dr. Jenny Krueger was so kind and caring, giving us the best possible experience for this painful time. Our dog was immediately at ease with her, and we never felt rushed as we took as much time as we needed to spend with him. Highly recommend.
She was approachable and empathetic, addressing all our questions and concerns. She went above and beyond what was expected in her role.
Dr Jenny came out to our house days before Christmas and made such a difficult time for us, so calm. This was the first time my family has done an at home euthanasia and we could not have asked for a better experience. Dr Jenny was so kind and compassionate. We cannot thank her enough.
Dr. Krueger was incredibly kind and gentle with not only Kona but with me. She ensured I was thoroughly informed of each step of the process and gave me ample time at each phase to be with Kona. I am incredibly thankful for her kindness and patience, and could not have asked for a more peaceful way to say goodbye.
We had to make a very difficult decision regarding our long-time pet of 18 years. He was a special part of our family and Dr. Krueger assisted us through this heartbreaking process. She was professional and compassionate and I highly recommend her if anyone finds themselves in this sad situation. She absolutely made made a positive impact on this extremely unbearable situation.
I found CodaPet and Dr. Jenny Krueger when searching for in home pet euthanasia services for my 13 year old pup. Her health declined very rapidly and our regular vet did not have any available appointments. I was very lucky to come across Dr. Krueger's page that morning and get an appointment the same day in the afternoon. This was my first time having to go through this and she did her best to comfort us by asking stories about Izzy and letting us know what to expect with each step. We were able to make our girl comfortable in her favorite place in the house where she got a plate of canned cheese and hershey's kisses. She helped me get paw and nose prints with a kit I had bought earlier that week and she let us spend all the time we needed to say goodbye. Thank you again for taking care of Izzy and helping her rest peacefully surrounded by her family.
