Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I became a vet because of my love for people; by caring and attending for pets, I am directly influencing that person's well-being. I started performing in-home euthanasia during the Pandemic as a way to extend veterinary reach to individuals and their pets that may not have had another option. Providing in- home-euthanasia for families who wish to keep their furry household member calm and at ease during their final moments is another way that I can support families during a difficult and intimate time.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Hamid was an extremely compassionate person. We were able to say our final goodbye’s at home in a very peaceful manner. Dr. Hamid answered all of our questions and allowed us to share our last minutes as a family. We’ll miss our baby girl and Dr. Hamid was the angel sent to take her home. Thank you for the love and comfort in such a sad time…

Dr. Abdul is a very kind, caring, and understanding veterinarian. She treated our family with respect and gave us comfort that our pet’s last few moments would be easy for him. Dr. Abdul was able to calmly explain the procedure and review and confirm our after-procedure requests. She gave our pet the quiet, at-home passing he deserved. We also appreciate Dr. Abdul’s choice of Emerson’s Pet Crematorium as they were also very kind and thoughtful.

Dr. Hamid was very personable, caring, and empathetic when we made the decision to let our sweet fur baby pass away. Very kind and thoughtful through out the process. I would recommend her to anyone who wants their pet at home when the time comes to send them over the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈

Very patient, kind and understanding. She explains the process well. She came to my home earlier than the appointment because she cares immensely. She wanted to make sure our boys last moments were peaceful.

This was our first experience with at home pet euthanasia and we are so happy that it was recommended to us. Our sweet boy Kuma, became terrified of the vet in his later years but this option enabled him to be totally at ease for the whole process. As heartbreaking as it is to lose him we are so grateful we could offer him the comfort of his favorite spot in the yard surrounded by all his familiar smells and people. Dr. Abdul was wonderful and understanding in every way, we were glad to have her help through this process.
