Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
As a veterinarian, my most meaningful experiences are those of guiding families through the process of saying goodbye to a beloved pet. My role is to provide compassionate support that recognizes the unique needs of each family- whether it be an objective conversation regarding quality of life, helping parents guide children through pet loss, or simply providing reassurance that the right decision is being made. Having a trusted guide throughout this complex process is essential.

Dr. Bonnie Goldthwaite took care of my service dog, Armani with professionalism and tenderness. She did not hurry the process and was attentive and loving during the procedure. She carefully explained the procedure and made sure Armani was relaxed and not in pain. I will always be grateful for her kindness.
