Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
At 16, I started working at an animal rescue and quickly realized that my love of animals was truly a calling, but it wasn’t until later that year when I began as an assistant at the local veterinary practice that I knew where I needed to be. I never looked back! My goal is to make sure that every animal knows they are loved and cherished, and that is especially important in their twilight years. Every pet should have a warm lap, a sunny spot, and a comfortable setting in their final moments, surrounded by love and family, and I am so honored to be able to facilitate that in Hampton Roads.

What pet parents are saying
She did a good job. Cost was high in my opinion when there were other vets on your site $100 cheaper. We just weren't able to get the appointment. We should have acted faster.
Dr Erin S was amazing at the awful day we had to experience. She was very sweet and understanding. Took as long as I needed to take to say goodbye to my boy. She was a gentle soul, and I appreciate her in doing this line of work. Thank you ♡
Dr Struble has one of the hardest jobs, yet she handles it with such grace and kindness. We are forever grateful for her help and are so thankful she helped our girl pass peacefully.
She explained everything to us and as she would do what she needed to do to make our Shiver comfortable before putting him down. In fact she had to repeat saying things more than once since family members arrived at different times. She was also very patient and empathetic to our needs. She made letting go of our Shiver bearable. Thanks for your support thru this trying time.
We were beyond blessed to have Dr. Erin Struble help our precious Mika transition peacefully across the rainbow bridge. I’ve had painful experiences in the past with saying goodbye to pets, and I was anxious about going through it again. Dr. Struble changed that for me. She walked us through every step with patience and clarity, making sure we understood and felt supported. She never rushed us, giving both Mika and us the time we needed. Most importantly, she ensured Mika felt no pain and left this world in the gentlest, most peaceful way imaginable. Dr. Struble’s kindness, compassion, and professionalism went beyond what I could have hoped for. She not only gave Mika dignity in her final moments but also helped heal some of the trauma I carried from previous goodbyes. That is a gift I’ll never forget. Mika crossed over so calmly, surrounded by love, and I can never thank Dr. Struble enough for the comfort she gave our family. She is truly an angel in this work, and I will recommend her to anyone who finds themselves facing this difficult time.
She was very supportive during this hard time and very kind and patient. We appreciate all she did to help us with our memorial pieces for our girl and during her passing.
