Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

In all the roles I've had in veterinary medicine, the part I found most fulfilling was supporting animals and their owners through end-of-life care. I have been doing hospice work for over 10 years and truly find it an honor to provide a peaceful, pain-free transition for beloved companions.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Dover was kind and patient for our old kitty's last moments. He had a very peaceful passing, and she made it as quick and painless as possible.

Dr. Dover was wonderful. She was so compassionate and knowledgeable. We appreciated the time she spent educating us on the process of euthanizing our 18 year old dog. She made sure we felt comfortable each step of the way and made one of the most difficult days of our lives much better.

It is such an emotional time when you have to put your beloved pet down. I thought and prayed hard when my little pup Rocky wasn't getting well; he was only getting worse. After signing up online, I was contacted right away, by Dr Andrea Dover. She was able to come when I chose, only a day or two later. She was so good with Rocky. He was totally comfortable with her. After initial consultation, I carried Rocky to my bed, which I thought would provide maximum comfort and relaxation. I held him as he lay there, staring close into his sweet face. I talked to him the whole time, as Dr Dover administered the injections. Rocky didn't seem to notice Dr Dover was there or doing anything. I was free to coddle him and talk to him, and he was listening. We were truly at one during this process. I didn't want to get overly upset, and just let the tears flow as I gave him love, smiles of reassurance and promises to see him again in heaven. Afterward, Dr Dover gently gathered him in a soft blanket and placed him in a perfect-sized basket. Rocky was at peace, his sweet little face looked like he was sleeping, all warm and cozy in the blanket imprinted with hearts. It was so hard to let him go, but there couldn't have been a better way. Dr Andrea is very intuitive, gentle, and kind. She appeared to me very God-centered in her work. I was so grateful that it was her there with me. It's been tough, but lately I have been having exquisite dreams of Rocky running to me, just like he used to do when he was well. He's all excited to see me, full of energy, having fun and feeling so happy. I think that's a good sign. I believe my little Pumpkin (which I often called him), is at peace now and one day we will be together again. Last night, I dreamt I was offering him a bowl of pumpkin!

There are not enough words to describe how helpful Dr Dover was to me and my soul dog Stella. I was in a difficult situation and finding no hope anywhere. I made many phone calls to several area Veterinary clinics and spoke to many professionals, and still was left with no answers or solutions. Then I met Dr Dover who not only helped me, but walked me through it with kindness and compassion. She didn’t give up when issues came up. She went above and beyond. I really could not be more grateful for her during this time. I’m grateful for her knowledge, professionalism, and willingness to help those of us who don’t always fit in the box, and being an extraordinary human being.

Review by Dr. Andrea Dover

Concerns: The process felt rushed to me. Dr. Dover gave my dog TWICE the amount of sedative and pain med for her weight. My dog weighed 12 lbs. and she said gave Chili twice the amount for her weight - enough for a 25 lb. dog. Why? To hurry things along so she could go to her next appointment? Also, Dr. Dover was wearing heavy cologne. Many people are sensitive and/or allergic to fragrances. Disappointing that she’d wear so much fragrance. It lingered in the house long after she was gone.
