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 very compassionate, and the passing of my 14 year buddy was very peaceful and handled respectfully. Although it was a very tough time for me, she handled it with grace, care, and compassion.

Dr. Dover was so wonderful in such a difficult time for us. She took excellent care of our beloved friend. Dr. Dover took the time to go over each step and gave us the time we needed to say goodbye. She was gentle and kind with all of us.

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.

When it came time to help our dog Lucy cross over the rainbow bridge we contacted Dr. Andrea Dover. She was very compassionate towards both us and Lucy. She helped us through the procedure in such a calm and reassuring way that we could understand every step. As hard as this moment was for us I can honestly say she made it less painful. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing to make this decision.

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!

She was very comforting and made an extremely difficult situation easier than expected. Explained the process before hand and while each step was taken. When we rescued Chapo, we knew he would only be around for a Few years, we never expected it to be less than two. While, it was an extremely difficult decision to make I knew he was suffering and at the same time knew My family and myself had given him more love in two years than he had experienced his entire life. She was very understanding and supported the extra family friends that we had present and made my sons choice to leave after the serum and before the lethal Injection much more comprehensive to him. Highly recommend.
