Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
My enduring passion for veterinary medicine traces its roots back to my earliest memories of being surrounded by animals. From a young age, it was clear to me that I wanted to dedicate my life to caring for these incredible beings. My career aspirations have taken various forms over the years, from envisioning myself as an animal trainer for movies or captivating audiences at Sea World to picturing a future as a ranch owner tending to a diverse array of animals. However, beneath these varied dreams, the unchanging core has always been the desire to become a veterinarian. What propels my aspiration in the field of veterinary medicine even further is my desire to practice In-Home Euthanasia (IHE). This passion has been amplified by my firsthand experiences of the profound positive effects animals can have on human well-being, some experiences I've gained primarily through my involvement with Aggieland Pets with a Purpose (APWAP). These organizations have shown me the immense power of the human-animal bond, and they've underscored my dedication to preserving and enhancing this bond. I offer in-home euthanasia services as a compassionate way to honor the strong connections people share with their pets during one of life's most challenging transitions. This is a meaningful path that allows me to not only ensure the health of animals but also to support and educate owners about the sensitive and emotional aspects of saying goodbye to their beloved companions.

What pet parents are saying
The entire process was amazing. Dr Pruitt was responsive and helpful when we needed her, and very compassionate. And when Luke’s ashes were returned, it was such a nice presentation. They even included his paw print with his name on it.
Dr. Pruett was awesome. Letting a family pet go is extremely hard but Dr. Pruett was very patient and empathetic throughout the process. It gave us great comfort how she handled our Moxie. So thankful I called them.
We are very thankful for learning about this option when making our decision to stop Nomi's pain. Dr. Alex was very kind and professional.
We had two senior dogs we had to euthanize at home this year. Dr. Pruett was there to help us both times. She is so kind, caring and supportive. Our Pearl and Chief passed peacefully at home surrounded by their family. We are forever grateful.
Dr. Alex Pruett treated our fur baby with respect and compassion. She showed up as soon as possible, quicker than expected. She was empathetic and kind to my husband and I. I'm so glad our dog was able to peacefully go to sleep at home. Thank you again, Dr. Pruett.
Dr. Pruett was excellent. It was our first at home euthanasia and she really made us feel better about making this decision. She was prompt, very understanding, and explained the process to us. It was incredibly hard losing our dog but ultimately this was the perfect way for us to do it. Thank you so much.
