Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Ive always been an animal lover growing up, and though I have worked a variety of careers, I always ended up back with animals. I worked in clinical practice and enjoyed spending time with my clients, holding their hands as we talked through different disease outcomes and treatment plans, and, eventually crying with them during their last visit as they said goodbye to their pet. I wanted to provide in-home euthanasia so that people could spend the time saying goodbye at their own pace.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Frary made one of the most difficult moments a little less difficult. She was kind, honest, compassionate and provided my family comfort in a very difficult time. I would recommend her and this process to anyone in need of this service.
I am so grateful for Dr Lauren Frary, the service she offers in being able to keep our beloved animals at home during such a hard yet compassionate transition is such a gift. She holds the space with such compassion and calm. Dr Lauren explains everything, allows as much time is need to say good bye. The care and tenderness she gave to me and my family as well as our sweet Jasper created, while painful, beautiful experience.
Dr. Frary had the calmest, gentlest demeanor during the procedure. She was so good at putting me at ease. I appreciated that she recognized this was the best option for my elderly pet when other vets had ignored my concerns about my pet's comfort and mental state. Her compassion for the animals really shows. Thank you for making a hard thing easier.
This was the best possible experience we could have had for such a devastating day. Dr. Lauren was kind and thoughtful throughout the whole process even spending time over the phone with us the night before. She was a great listener and comforter. We are so heartbroken to have had to say goodbye to our best boy, but we are so happy we chose this service.
Choosing to have your pet euthanized is a difficult experience, but we knew it was time for our cat as he had been struggling with the effects of HCM for weeks. We chose in-home pet euthanasia because Scout always hated being taken to the vet and we didn't want to cause further stress in his final hours. Fortunately Dr. Lauren Frary was near where we live and I had read great reviews about her work. I just want to add that they were all warranted. Dr. Frary was kind and engaged both with us and Scout. The process was explained in detail and we had plenty of time to say our goodbyes. The procedure went smoothly and peacefully. We're so glad we chose Dr. Frary for this difficult choice--she made it a much more pleasant experience.
Dr Lauren made the whole process much easier for our family. She was so kind and patient and gave us the time we needed to retell our favorite stories with Lady and be able to say goodbye to our sweet baby girl. We feel so fortunate that we could do this for her in the familiar and safe setting of her own home surrounded by her family.
