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 didnβt 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. Keri made what could have been a very stressful and traumatic experience (for us and for our pet) a peaceful and beautiful one. Our petβs comfort was her top priority. She explained each step of the way professionally and compassionately. I highly recommend her services. I imagine that providing this service takes a special person with a passion for the dignity and care of our 4-legged friends..and Dr. Keri is such a person.
Even with our beloved pets, saying goodbye is heartbreaking. When my dog receives a terminal diagnosis- I had to help him no longer suffer, no more pain or nausea. Dr. Keri Wasmoen was a true blessing, with her in home euthanasia services. She provided the needed services to help my pet move onto a better place, in the comfort of our own home. comforting me as the process was carried out. If you also have to make the difficult decision- please consider in home euthanasia.
My dog Maggie would have been 14 years on September 10th. She fought so hard to make it till her birthday, but at the end she was struggling. I know we all wish that our pets (ourselves as well) would just fall asleep and pass peacefully, but that didn't happen. The Dr had told me she had congestive heart failure two weeks before, and she declined rapidly. I could not stand to see her struggling. My family decided to help her on her journey. That was the hardest decision I have ever made. Maggie was my companion, my best friend, my baby, my confidant, my snuggle buddy, my walking partner, my travel partner, my everything. I rescued her when she was about 10 months old. I wanted her to be at peace, not in any pain, able to let go and rest. Dr. Keri Wasmoen from CodaPet came to my house and was so kind, so compassionate, so patient, so wonderful. I appreciated very much how when she arrived, she didn't automatically go into the "clinical" aspects of what was happening/going to happen. She sat down on the floor and took some time to let Maggie feel comfortable with her. There was no fear, no anxiety on Maggie's part, and that is because Dr. Keri took that time to ease into everything. She explained step by step what was happening and when, and what to expect and when. She went at our pace. She did not rush anything. She gave my family time to have private, alone time with Maggie after she passed. She wrapped Maggie up in a snuggly blanket. She gave me a lovely box with one of Maggie's paw prints in it, Maggie's name engraved in it, and a space for Maggie's picture. The whole thing was calm, peaceful, loving, compassionate, and I so appreciated everything Dr. Keri did to make Maggie's transition easy for all of us. I would never want to go through that process again, it was so painful on my heart, but I know it was the right decision and I am so grateful that it was Dr. Keri that came and was with us during the process. I would definitely recommend CodaPet and Dr. Keri Wasmoen to anyone that may need to make a decision like I did. I will miss my Maggie every day and will cherish the memories I have of her until I see her again. Maggie Moon 9/10/11 - 8/30/24
Dr.Keri Wasmoen was our Soul Returning angel of mercy. The deep gentle sincere compassion was evident with everything she said and did. I am raw brokenhearted to my core but strangely at peace because of her and the availability of home departure. Fawn my sweet Sweet girl I know you know how precious you π have been in my life...We will be together again...Sweetie Kitty misses you toooooo
The whole process, while extremely difficult for us emotionally, was handled in a thoughtful, professional, caring way that really helped us work through a sad and difficult decision. Dr. Keri explained things thoroughly and never rushed us in any way, gave us time to handle our grief, and was genuinely empathetic. She was gentle and kind to our sweet kitten. This was obviously an incredibly hard thing to go through, but we were very glad for the support that Dr. Wasmoen gave us.
Dr. Wasmoen was so helpful and caring when we had to say goodbye to our 7 year old dane. She explained everything fully and was so patient with us. If we ever have to do this sad ordeal again, I would definitely have Dr. Wasmoen do it.
