Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
One reason I became a veterinarian was to serve the bond between people and their pets. Saying goodbye to a longtime friend is one of the most difficult passages we face. Being able to say goodbye peacefully at home, in a familiar environment, can eliminate some of the stresses of the process for both people and pets.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Dan could not have been more kind and thorough with this experience. If one has to send their beloved furbaby over the rainbow bridge, there is no one better to help you though the process.
When our “little-girl” of 13 years suffered a sudden stroke, my wife, daughter, and I knew that if we didn’t act quickly she was going to suffer. We found that Dan was available to help us, so we booked an in-home appointment immediately. When Dan arrived he was so polite, reverent, and respectful of us and our situation. Her awareness and strength were beginning to slip before he arrived, but he gently checked her to make sure that our suspicions were correct. Thankfully we were able to spend those last precious moments together holding her , crying our eyes out together, telling her how much we loved her, and how thankful we were for her love of us, how she rescued us, and that she will always be with us. We truly could not now look back on that experience as a positive one, had Dan Taylor not been there for us. From all of us, and “our little-girl” we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We miss her beyond words, but we due so knowing that she died peacefully, at home with us, cuddled-up in her “blanky”with all her stuffed-animal friends, and that beautiful smile on her face.
Doctor Taylor was incredible during a really difficult time. He took time to explain the process, listened to our stories about our cat, empathized, and made sure we were all comfortable. He gave us a gift that was priceless- and that was peace.
He was extremely kind and supportive through the process of putting our sweet dog down. He walked us through everything, made us feel very comfortable, and gave us all of the time we needed. It was a heartbreaking moment but he made it the best it could be. We can’t thank him enough for the kindness he showed us during this time.
Dr. Dan really couldn’t have been more amazing. He was so sensitive and kind, and so respectful of our kitty’s life and our grief. This was an incredibly tough thing to go through, but he made it so much easier. The man is truly an angel and I couldn’t recommend him more! Thank you Dr. Dan, we will always be grateful for your compassion!
Dr. Taylor explained everything so we knew what to expect, gave us the time we needed, and made the passing of our pet peaceful and at home. He is compassionate and caring.
