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
I think I just did this. But I couldn't get out of this site when I finished. If my review didn't go through, let me know and I will do it again.
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.
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 wonderful with our in home pet euthanasia experience. He was warm, spoke softly around our cat and us, gave us all the time we needed through each step of the process, and spoke words of comfort and encouragement at a time we really needed to hear it. It is always a difficult decision for pet owners, but I will definitely look him up when the time comes that we need to make this decision again. Thank you Dan for being so wonderful.
One of the most heartbreaking experiences is losing a beloved furry friend. I recently had to face the loss of my 19 year old cat, Pickle. The option to have him pass in the comfort his own home in the presence of his family who loved him so was such a precious gift to all of us. Dr. Dan Taylor was instrumental in helping us through the process and giving Pickle the gentle, peaceful passing he so deserved. Dr. Taylor’s compassion, kindness, patience, and knowledge made the moment bearable for us. After I made the initial appointment on-line, Dr. Taylor immediately reached out to me to offer support and to answer any questions I might have. Shortly afterwards we talked by phone and he remained available to me as I needed throughout the next few days, offering support and guidance. He even rescheduled so that my daughter could be present as well. His presence comforted and seemed to reassure my precious cat. I am so grateful for Dr. Taylor’s gentle assistance during one of the most heartbreaking experiences of my life. I will be forever thankful for him and will contact him again if faced with this situation again. Thank you Dr. Taylor from the bottom of our hearts.
Dr. Dan Taylor was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made the entire experience much easier for my family during a very difficult time. He was in constant contact throughout the week as I hemmed and hawed my decision. When it came time for our appointment, he spent a good amount of time explaining everything to my family and allowed time for questions. He assured us that we had made the right decision, which I know helped me in that moment. While this was an overall overwhelmingly difficult situation, he made it as seamless and stress free as possible. If I ever had to put another pet down, he would be my first call. Thank you Dr. Taylor, the Howell family appreciates you and your kindness!
