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
This was a very difficult decision for our family, but Dr. Krueger treated our dog with such compassion. As painful as it was, the entire process was peaceful.
Dr. Krueger was excellent! She was nice and respectful. She asked about our girl, Daisy, and our life with her. She interacted with Daisy and was a calming influence. She answered all of our questions and walked us thru every step of the way. She gave us the space we needed to grieve as a family. Dr. Krueger helped make a very sad, emotional, devastating experience as calm, serene, and beautiful as possible. We cannot ever say enough about Dr. Krueger to do her justice.
We highly recommend at home pet euthanasia. Our beloved pet went to sleep peacefully surrounded by her favorite place and people who love her. She was relaxed and comfortable. It made it tolerable for us to say goodbye.I highly recommend it to everyone. We loved our Vet Dr. Jenny Krueger. She was amazing.
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.
Dr. Jenny Krueger works with compassion, care, and patience. She is there both for the pet (in my case a very beloved Corgi) and the human. Having needed to euthanize pets both at the vet and at home, being able to do this at home makes a terrible experience so much calmer. Setting everything up through the CodaPet interface was very easy and the fact that the portal gives you options about what kind of follow up you do or do not want was very respectful. I could not recommend Dr. Krueger more highly; her gentle care at such a wrenching time helped to confirm that we were making absolutely the right choice.
We are so grateful to Dr. Krueger for helping us through one of the hardest decisions we’ve ever had to make. From the moment she arrived at our home, her compassion, professionalism, and kindness immediately put us at ease. She patiently walked us through every step of the process, explained everything in detail, and welcomed all of our questions. She gave us as much time as we needed—both before and after—to say our final goodbyes. While our hearts are broken to let our senior pup cross the rainbow bridge, we feel incredibly blessed to have had Dr. Krueger by our side. She ensured his last moments were filled with love, peace, and plenty of treats. We couldn’t have asked for a more caring or thoughtful veterinarian during such a difficult time.
