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

There are no words to explain what Dr. Jenny Krueger did for us yesterday. Yesterday we sadly had to put down our 13 year old Flat Coated Retriever Louie. With our dog being 100+ lbs and having trouble standing due to hip dysplasia, we didnt know how we could ever get him to a vet. After coming across CodaPet, we are so grateful we got to do this process in Louies home where he was comfortable and familiar, and surrounded by his family. Dr.Krueger made whats supposed to be a traumatic experience, very peaceful and calm regardless of the circumstances. Louie got to lay exactly where he wanted and got to eat all the treats and spray can cheese hat Dr. Krueger provided for him to enjoy his last moments. Dr. Kruger explained every single step including what each anesthetic was named and the exact things it would do so we would understand the entire process. She asked us all our favorite memories and made the experience very special regardless of how hard it was. Louie passed very peacefully, not in a sterile unfamiliar office but comfortable in his own home, face first in a bowl of spray can cheese. We appreciate Dr. Kruegers empathy and patience for allowing us to spend as long as we needed with our Louie and feeling our pain with us. This is not just a job for her and no one is meant more to do this job then she is. Thank you Dr. Krueger for making this upsetting loss for us as peaceful, special, and informative as possible. We appreciate you more than you can ever know. From, Sami, Abbie, and Kim Solomon

This service proved to be such a blessing. The only time our cat was in our car was when she was going to the vet. We knew it would stress her unnecessarily. Dr. Krueger was so kind, patient and efficient. She listened as we told our cat stories. We laughed and we cried, and when we were ready, our Cozy was allowed to gently drift away. I highly recommend at home euthanasia.

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.

Deeply grateful for Dr. Krueger's compassion and kindness on one of the most painful days of my life. I am fortunate I was able to let my beloved cat, Dory, go in the comfort of her home and with great care from Dr. Krueger.

Absolutely wonderful. She was very kind, patient and explained everything that was going to happen. We have a second dog, a pug, who barked when she first arrived and within minutes was on his back letting Dr Krueger scratch his belly. Highly recommend
