Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I became a vet for the same reason as 99% of other veterinarians, because I just love animals! Looking back at my school work from childhood, every poem and diagram involves animals in some way. That combined with my interest in science made the choice quite clear! I decided to get into in-home euthanasia after moving back to the US from New Zealand. While practicing overseas, I first experienced in-home euthanasia and it was so peaceful and intimate that I wanted to continue to offer that service to pet parents.

She was very kind and professional. You can tell she has a heart of gold for providing such excellent service during very sad times for families.

Dr. Gonnering was simply great. She was kind, and compassionate and explained everything that was going to happen. Our kitty was at ease and he slipped away peacefully in my arms. Thank you, Ann for your kindness and the gentle way you treated Parsley.

Ann Gonnering was on time, very sensitive to how we felt and was able to make everyone including our dog comfortable. It is a very difficult thing to do to ptu your dog down but her coming to the house and putting Gypsy down without causing any further anxiety helped us and our dog.
