Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
At a previous practice, Dr. Wasmoen was able to provide in-home euthanasia services to a limited degree. It didn’t take long to realize that while these services are of vital importance, they were in short supply. Dr. Wasmoen was drawn to provide this type of care to allow families to say goodbye to their beloved companions in a familiar, loving, and private environment which can make a world of difference in these difficult situations. CodaPet in particular allows veterinarians to tailor patient care to individual pets and provides the ability to service many communities, extending the option for a peaceful in-home goodbye sometimes outside the range of other veterinary providers.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Wasmoen was extremely understanding and compassionate. She explained every step of the process and sweetly tolerated our other two dogs who were over curious and barking. She earned our trust so quickly that she made a very sad and difficult day as bearable as possible. We are forever grateful.
Dr. Wasmoen was very comforting for us during this difficult time. We had to make the decision to put down 2 of our senior dogs, so it was extremely difficult and a very sensitive time. She was calm and collected, she explained everything wonderfully. She gave us time alone with them both after they passed. The in-home pet euthanasia was the right choice for our family. With a 6 month old at home also, it was much more comfortable for us to all be together in our home. I couldn't imagine taking my babies to a scary vets office to send them over the rainbow bridge. I'm so glad I found this option for us, and I have already been telling many friends and family about the option. It's definitely worth every penny. We got to keep some of their fur, and we also got paw print keepsakes as well. Dr. Wasmoen bundled them up in soft blankets when she took them, and handled all of the cremation process afterwards. 100% recommend. Sad situation, but a comfortable experience.
Dr. Keri was so sympathetic and professional yet not stuffy. Explained what she was doing and what was happening with Honey as she passed. I would recommend Dr. Keri for your vet when the time is near to put your pet to sleep.
Dr. Keri did an absolutely amazing job at comforting Butterfly, our precious kitty, and our entire family when she came to our home to ease Butterfly out of her pain and help her cross the rainbow bridge. Dr. Keri's soft voice and gentle ways made the experience easier for all of us. We cannot thank her enough. We miss Butterfly with our whole hearts. It is the most beautiful thing to have a precious little fur baby come into your life and bring SO much joy. ❤️
Dr. Keri was wonderful, she was very patient and kind with us during the entire process, and explained in detail answers to any questions we had. I am very grateful this service exists, because I could not imagine going through this at a vet office instead of the comfort of our home. It was especially peaceful for my fur baby, he was with us for fourteen years, and left peacefully. <3
Dr. Keri was wonderful! She communicated with us through the entire process from the point we scheduled to when we got our dogs Ashes. She was kind, respectful, understanding, and informative. She was a calm presence on a very hard day. She allowed us to grieve, process, and say goodbye to a member of our family without feeling rushed or judged. I will recommend Dr. Keri and the Coda service to anyone who has to make this decision.
