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 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
It takes a very special person to come into your home and handle a families grieving of losing their pet. There are many words that describe Dr. Anna...... She is very friendly, caring,compassionate, thoughtful and obviously a pet lover. Our decision was extremely difficult but she eased our pain. We know our dog Harie is in a better place and we thank Dr. Anna for being part of our journey.
Dr. Anna was very supportive and kind to us when we decided to let my best friend Pedro go. She came on time, was well prepared, listened carefully to his health history and was very reassuring that we were doing the right thing. She was patient and gave us lots of privacy when we needed it. It’s the worst task ever, but she comes with a compassionate heart and a calming demeanor. We were so grateful to be able to give him a kind goodbye at home with us and the whole process was very simple to book online.
We are very thankful to CodaPet and Dr. Anna Peterson. Dr. Anna came to our home on a sleeting, cold night to help us say goodbye Bella. Dr. Anna was gentle and kind. She took her time and gave Bella a sedative before the injection. Bella, who had suffered so much, went to sleep peacefully, in my arms, in her own home. For such a painful event, Dr. Anna did everything she could to ease our girl's passing. WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY.
Doctor was patient, kind and loving with our cat. She treated him as though he was hers. I would highly recommend her to help with anyone’s pet.
Thank you Dr. Anna Peterson for offering at home euthanasia and being so kind, compassionate, caring, informative and helpful. This was one of the hardest days of my life and I'm greatful my Reina got to pass at home in her favorite spot not at the vet where she was stressed. I will miss my dog forever 😢 💔
I had never met Dr. Peterson until she arrived to euthanize my little boy. He was 16 1/2 years old and had been fine just 2 days earlier. He had 2 days of such a rapid decline and his regular vet was talking about being able to get him in in about a week, which I found to just be cruel. In calling CODApet, they had 2 appointments available that afternoon. I took the 5:00 appointment and let them know my door would be unlocked, so she could just walk in. At 4:30, I brought Carrie into the loving room, put his favorite soft blanket over me and laid him in my lap as I sat in my recliner. Dr. Peterson came through the door as my clocks were chiming 5:00, PERFECTLY on time. She could not have been kinder. She was soft-spoken throughout, explaining every thing she would be doing. She did all she needed to do with Carrie continuing to lie on me and that is where he died. She was empathetic, SO incredibly thoughtful, not seeming rushed, allowing me the time to cry and let her take Carrie when I was ready. I have a second cat that wandered through a bit and she'd talk to him and pet him. I have no idea how many times I said thank you to her. This is the absolute worst time in a pet owner's life but I also believe it's the last thing we can do to love them. Dr. Peterson made this time the easiest she could. I am so thankful for this wonderful, kind woman and this service that didn't make me wait or Carrie suffer. It was the most peaceful time it could have been. I had chosen to have Carrie's ashes returned to me and, coincidentally, they arrived this afternoon. Dr. Peterson had a choice of options for this service as well and my little boy is back home. This woman was an absolute blessing both to me and to the loving care she provided my cat.
