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
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. Jenny Krueger could not have been more professional/compassionate/personable. She took her time, was clear what was going to happen and as it happened. She allowed us to be very involved and informed during the entire process. She made an impossibly heartbreaking moment a peaceful and smooth transition. Thank you Dr. Krueger.
Dr. Krueger and the staff at CodaPet were fabulous in helping us during or 14+ y/o Cavalier's, Sophie, transition across the rainbow bridge. Being able to do this in our home made it so much more comfortable for Sophie and for us. She was surrounded by the people who loved and cared for her.
She was approachable and empathetic, addressing all our questions and concerns. She went above and beyond what was expected in her role.
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.
Roxy went peacefully and in her favorite spot on our bed, at home. It was gentle, quiet, and the best thing we could have done for her after she gave us so many years of love. Dr Krueger was wonderful, explained everything, and gave us space to grieve.
