Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Our pets become our beloved family members. After helping hundreds of families through end-of-life decisions in the emergency setting, I became experienced in being able to develop relationships with owners during times of stress (often times unexpected) and grieving. It was during my time in emergency that I realized the profound impact that the hospital environment plays into the end-of-life experience for not only the families but their pets as well. As a pet parent myself, I made the decision to leave ER and transition to practicing in-home euthanasia full time in order to fulfill my passion of providing a more serene experience for both the pet and the family members.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Poole was kind, calming, and reassuring. She seemed to genuinely care about both our kitty and us. I would recommend her to others in a heartbeat. When the time comes for our other baby to pass, we would love to have Dr. Poole come out again.

Dr. Poole was beyond wonderful. In such an emotionally difficult situation, she could not have been a more calming presence. She was so empathetic to the loss we were feeling. She was super patient and kind throughout the process. I would so highly recommend her to anyone making the difficult end of life decision for their pet.
We are really grateful that we had Dr. Poole to help us say goodbye to our friend. She was a kind and compassionate guide, and a very professional veterinarian. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Poole if you are in the unfortunate position of having to say goodbye to a pet and want to ensure a peaceful transition.
Dr. Poole was supportive and a great presence as we said goodbye to our dog. She listened to our stories about him and patiently and clearly explained each step of the process. We knew exactly what to expect and she was just a really lovely person to have there, as well as a great vet. We are very appreciative of her skills and support.
When the time came to say goodbye to our beloved Jazzy, we were comforted beyond words by Dr. Poole and her gentle care. She came to our home and treated our sweet girl with such tenderness, respect, and compassion that the experience—though deeply emotional—felt peaceful and dignified. Dr. Poole took time to explain every step, making sure we felt prepared and supported. Her calm presence and empathy allowed our sweet girl to pass comfortably in familiar surroundings, surrounded by love. It was clear she truly cared, both for our pet and for us as grieving owners. We’re so grateful for the comfort she provided on one of the hardest days of our extremely difficult day. Dr. Poole's service is a gift to families facing loss, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who wants their pet’s final moments to be handled with grace and compassion.
Dr Poole was lovely, compassionate, so gentle with my old boy, and so very kind. She thoroughly explained what she would be doing and how he would react. She reassured me that it was time. It is always difficult to say goodbye to a beloved 4 legged family member. Dr Poole made the experience as soft and gentle as it could be. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of these services.
