Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I've always surrounded myself with animals (perk of being a country kid with very understanding parents), and decided to be a veterinarian before I even started kindergarten. After being in clinical practice for 14.5 years, I've developed a passion for physical rehabilitation, hospice, and end-of-life care. I consider it a deep privilege to help pets and clients through the most difficult stage of the human- animal bond.

What pet parents are saying

Words cannot express how thankful I am for Dr. Anna Peterson and her empathy and compassionate care for our almost 14 year-old lab Spud. This was my first dog and my husband’s first experience being present during pet euthanasia. It was important to us that our kids (ages 3 and 5) were present as well. Dr. Peterson treated Spud with the utmost care and kindness during his last moments. She was clear in explaining the process and worked with efficiency, but it was all done with such compassion that it never felt rushed. She was also amazing with the kids—answering their (seemingly unending!) questions in ways that they could understand. Highly recommend her for anyone with a companion animal who’s reached end-of-life.

She was wonderful. Very kind and compassionate during such an emotionally devastating day for us. She waited for us to be ready to say goodbye to our dog Luna and didn’t rush us. She explained what was going to happen and what to expect. I am so thankful that Luna got to spend her final moments at home with us where she was comfortable and with her family.

Review by Dr. Anna L. Peterson, DVM

Dr. Anna Peterson preformed an in home euthanasia for our dog, Copper on January 6th 2025 at our home in Ashland, WI. Copper has always been an anxious pup when going to the vet. I feared that we would have to go to the vet for his euthanasia and his last feeling would be anxiety and fear. We were fortunate to find Dr. Peterson. She was patience and kind. We never felt rushed and she took such good care of our little man. I feel confident that he had a peaceful passing and a lot of it was thanks to Dr. Peterson. Our family is forever grateful.

Dr. Peterson was amazing! She was professional, kind, compassionate, and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye to our buddy Shelly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience in such a difficult situation.

Dr. Anna Peterson is one of the most compassionate people we have ever met. Our hearts are broken with the loss of our 9 1/2 year old English Mastiff, Lilly, however, Dr. Peterson was amazing and braved a snow storm on a Sunday to help our baby cross the rainbow bridge. It was such a sad, yet beautiful experience to be able to let our girl go on her favorite spot on our couch, with no pain, no fear, just her humans there to hug and talk to her. I recommend Dr. Peterson to everyone I talk to in the sad event they need to assist their fur baby. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. Our Lilly came home to us a couple of days ago in a beautiful cedar box and perfectly made paw print. Thank you, again.
