Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I have always had a strong love for animals, combined with a fascination for science and problem solving I knew becoming a Veterinarian was my calling. After serving countless pets over the years, my professional interest has evolved into a desire to provide a source of help in the times most pets and their owners need it the most. I strive to provide the most compassionate, peaceful, and stress-free experience possible. Having seen way too many pets suffer or experience stress in their last moments, my goal is to help provide relief while ensuring your pet experiences the utmost love and comfort as they pass in the comfort of their own home.

What pet parents are saying

She was so kind and sweet and asked about my dog Capone and what was going on with him. She was even able to fit as in a day earlier as he seemed to be declining so much quicker then I hoped. She walked us thru the process of how everything was going to happen. She took care of my Capone and felt very secure with her handling him after his passing. She sent texts a couple days later checking in on me and my family and how we were doing as well as received a card in the mail. She brought his ashes home about a week later. In this very hard and sad time, I appreciate all the warm heartfelt support she provided.

Dr Christina is awesome! On my worst day, she was very compassionate and gave us the time needed when saying goodbye. We chose to keep our sweet boy, and she provided us with a pamphlet with burial information. I would highly recommend this service.

Even tho this is a time that was very hard and stressful for me, She made the whole experience so peaceful. She was kind and didn’t make us feel rushed or push us. She assured us and made sure to examine Lulu to be sure the time was right. The extra care she put and gave my Lulu in her last moments were so appreciated. We will be forever grateful for the peaceful passing she provide for your forever loved Lulu. 💕 we made the right decision going with her.
