She took the time to explain everything, made sure we understood what was happening, and never made us feel rushed.

Sherry R. from Clovis on Dr. Sarah Clem: My beautiful, beloved older dog had been diagnosed with a life ending condition and the time had come when she needed help transitioning. Instead of “the last car ride”, I decided on looking into having a vet come to my home. I’m so glad it was Dr. Sarah Clem. She is knowledge in her field of animal medicine, explaining each procedure, while also having a sincere and caring presence which calmed my dog as well as myself. She took loving care of my fur baby’s body as she prepared to take her with her. I chose to have the ashes returned to me and was contacted by Dr. Clem in what seemed to be a short time to arrange to have the ashes delivered. The price is comparable with vet office fees and as I mentioned, I no last car ride for your dog and no driving home without your fur baby. It’s such a difficult time, saying goodbye to a beloved pet. It’s never easy on the heart. I am very thankful Dr. Sarah Clem truly made it her priority to make it easier for both my dog and I.

Dr. Loweth was compassionate, gentle, patient, and respectful throughout the entire process. I never felt rushed, and she gave us the time and space we needed to be with Poopoo and say goodbye. Being able to do this at home meant that Poopoo was able to pass peacefully, safely, and comfortably, surrounded by the people who loved her, rather than having her final moments happen during a scary or traumatic emergency. As painful as losing her has been, I am incredibly grateful that I was able to give her a peaceful goodbye and prevent her from suffering.

Dr. Karen Whala
Dr. Karen has always carried a deep compassion for senior and ailing pets, recognizing early in her career the profound importance of helping them pass peacefully—at home, in the arms of those who love them most. In 2018, she founded Peaceful Passing to provide in-home euthanasia services for families in the Fresno and Clovis areas, with the goal of ensuring that every pet’s final moments are marked by dignity, comfort, and grace. She is often asked how she can do this work every day. Dr. Karen explains: “Though it is hard, I believe I am helping our beloved pets carry out their final wishes when it’s time—to be at home, surrounded by all that they love, and to pass peacefully in their sleep. It is what any of us would want as well.” Dr. Karen believes that a peaceful goodbye at home is one of the most meaningful gifts an owner can give. In her experience, pets are noticeably more at ease in familiar surroundings, and she feels honored to support both animals and their families during such a tender and sacred time. A native of Fresno County, Dr. Karen grew up in the foothill communities of Dunlap and Miramonte. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Animal Science and Management from UC Davis, where her passion for animal care first began to flourish. As a young entrepreneur, she ran a mobile petting zoo that visited schools, birthday parties, and libraries, using her diverse menagerie—from iguanas and frogs to ducklings and lambs—to inspire children to care for animals with kindness and respect. She went on to earn her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from UC Davis in 2006 and began her career in mixed animal practice, treating dairy cattle, horses, dogs, and cats. Later, she shifted her focus exclusively to companion animals. During a break from private practice, she pursued a Master’s in Public Health and became board-certified in Veterinary Preventive Medicine, broadening her expertise while deepening her commitment to community well-being. Today, Dr. Karen resides in Fresno (though she dreams of one day returning to country life). She continues to devote her heart and skills to providing gentle end-of-life care for pets, while also volunteering with Pathfinders youth ministry, backpacking in the Sierras, and warmly welcoming friends into her home.

Dr. Mashawn Orth
Dr. Orth developed a love of animals and science at a young age and knew that veterinary medicine was the perfect career choice. She obtained her bachelor's degree at the University of California, Davis. While there, she stayed busy volunteering at local veterinary clinics, working with a parrot outreach group, and participating in research at a feline nutrition center. During this time, she also enjoyed tutoring undergraduate students and substitute teaching for K-12. After some post-graduate education, Washington State became her home, and she soon obtained her Veterinary degree from Washington State University. She has worked in Fresno since graduation in both a day practice and an emergency setting. While she loved healthy puppy, kitten, and even reptile visits, she soon realized that sometimes a vet's job also necessitates relieving suffering and helping pets to pass peacefully. To be able to further experience and support the bond between humans and their pets has been an honor that she is truly grateful for. Dr. Orth believes that euthanasia in our pet’s homes is a peaceful, loving, and more comfortable way to help them pass, surrounded by the people they love. Family is so important and our pets make up such a special role in our lives. Her husband and she have 3 children, and a household full of fuzzies, fins, fangs, and feathers. In her free time, she enjoys reading, jogging, and catching up on great television series.

Dr. Sarah values not only the time spent with the furry members of pet families but just as much, those who provide their love and care. She has recognized over her years in private practice just how important not only the first day we have with our pets is, but also the last. She desires to help make the goodbyes as comfortable and peaceful as possible.

Dr. Jessica Loweth
Dr. Jessica Loweth knew from the age of three that she wanted to be a veterinarian, a calling that began after her own cat was tragically lost. Born and raised in northern Virginia, she pursued her passion for animal care by earning a bachelor’s degree in Biology from Longwood University in 2010. She then attended Ross University on the beautiful Caribbean island of St. Kitts, followed by clinical rotations at Colorado State University, and graduated in 2014. Her dedication to veterinary medicine led her to complete surgery-focused internships in both Tucson, Arizona, and Tacoma, Washington. Dr. Loweth’s journey has been diverse, including a unique opportunity to serve as an on-board veterinarian for the U.S. Navy during Full Ship Shock Trials in 2016, before practicing emergency medicine in Boise, Idaho, and Fresno, California. Since transitioning to general medicine in 2021, she made the meaningful decision to incorporate in-home euthanasia into her practice in 2024. Dr. Loweth believes that providing in-home euthanasia is the most compassionate final gift we can offer our beloved pets. By allowing them to pass peacefully in the comfort of their own surroundings, she ensures that this difficult moment is handled with the utmost care and respect. For Dr. Loweth, it is a profound privilege to support pets and their families through this transition, honoring the human-animal bond in a way that is both dignified and loving. When she’s not caring for her patients, Dr. Loweth enjoys crafting, gardening, and seeking out new adventures, particularly those involving warm weather and beaches. At home, she is surrounded by her two dogs, Marley—a Coconut Retriever from St. Kitts—and Ruka, a Golden Retriever. A self-proclaimed “Crazy Cat Lady,” she also cares for a herd of cherished kitties.
