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.

Review by Dr. Jenny Krueger

I’m so glad to have Dr. Kruger helps us when it was time to put our dog down—cannot recommend her enough. She was very caring to our pet and extremely thoughtful in dealing with us and our two kids. She made the event not as much sad and we that was what we were hoping for.

Review by Dr. Jenny Krueger

Dr. Krueger and the staff at CodaPet were fabulous in helping us during or 14+ y/o Cavalier's, Sophie, transition across the rainbow bridge. Being able to do this in our home made it so much more comfortable for Sophie and for us. She was surrounded by the people who loved and cared for her.

Dr. Jenny Krueger works with compassion, care, and patience. She is there both for the pet (in my case a very beloved Corgi) and the human. Having needed to euthanize pets both at the vet and at home, being able to do this at home makes a terrible experience so much calmer. Setting everything up through the CodaPet interface was very easy and the fact that the portal gives you options about what kind of follow up you do or do not want was very respectful. I could not recommend Dr. Krueger more highly; her gentle care at such a wrenching time helped to confirm that we were making absolutely the right choice.

Dr. Krueger was incredibly kind and gentle with not only Kona but with me. She ensured I was thoroughly informed of each step of the process and gave me ample time at each phase to be with Kona. I am incredibly thankful for her kindness and patience, and could not have asked for a more peaceful way to say goodbye.

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.
