Dr. Dan Taylor
Verified Veterinarian
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. 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.
Dr. Dan Taylor was so incredibly kind, thoughtful, informative and professional when he came to the house when it was time to say goodbye to my beloved cat Chloe. Having this ability to say goodbye in an environment that everyone was comfortable in without the trauma of having to be uprooted to go to an office where the lights are too bright and nothing seems peaceful was invaluable.
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 was considerate, kind, and understanding. He explained the procedure well and performed it smoothly. He spent time with us. Dr. Taylor was the perfect person for this procedure.
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.
Dr. Dan was absolutely fantastic. Kind, compassionate, reassuring and gentle in his approach. He helped turn a potentially horrible experience to a quite manageable one.
