Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

As a young girl, I knew two things for certain: I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field, and I wanted to help those who couldn’t help themselves. This guiding principle led me to veterinary medicine. Early in my career as a general practitioner in San Diego, I found myself drawn to the most vulnerable patients—those nearing the end of their lives. I began connecting deeply with families, offering a safe space to openly and honestly discuss quality of life, quality of death, grief, loss and love. When I realized that the traditional clinical setting was limiting my ability to fully support my clients and patients, I transitioned in 2020 to focus exclusively on end-of-life care. Helping families give their beloved pets the gift of a passing that is peaceful, loving and dignified has become my life’s work.

What pet parents are saying

On one of the hardest days of our lives, Dr. Courtney was so patient and caring with us and our sweet pup. She took the time to sit with us and listen to us talk about Longo, she made sure he was calm and comfortable, and when it was time, she made his passing a little less painful. She is exactly the type of person you need on a day like this.

Highly recommend without reservation Dr. Courtney Mills and At Home Pet Euthanasia. The unbearable loss of a special pet was made more bearable by her compassion, consideration, and quiet demeanor.

Courtney was very professional and extremely compassionate! She explained everything that was going to happen and we felt very comfortable with her. Losing a treasured dog is so difficult, yet she made it much easier for our beloved Blitz!

Saying goodbye to Zoey was one of the hardest things we’ve had to do, but Dr. Mills made the process as peaceful and comforting as possible. She was incredibly gentle, explained every step clearly, and never made us feel rushed. We are so grateful for her compassion and the dignity that she showed our sweet baby in her final moments.

Cournety Mills is an angel. Our Kenji was very sick, but kept himself alive for us. It was time to allow him to let go, so we decided for a quiet, in-home euthenasia. Courtney arrived on time and immediately went to where he was laying to interact with him and assure him. Her compassionate and considerate approach and the calm way she carefully explained every step was what we needed. We sat with Kenji and spent the final minutes with him wrapped in his fvorite blanket. The end was peacful. Courtney made the unbearable bearable. We cannot speak highly enough about her.
