Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

What pet parents are saying

I am forever grateful that my beloved pet was able to be at home during their last moments, and I thank Dr. Daniella for that. However, the experience ended up being more upsetting than needed. One of the silver linings in such an unfortunate situation is that my pet was outwardly still functioning. I’ve had pets in the past who lost abilities such as walking beforehand, and it makes the end of their lives even more heartbreaking. I was relieved to not endure that this time around, but when it came time to begin the end of life procedure, I instinctively reached for my pet. The doctor told me not to, and for some reason I listened. Instead, she gave the first injection while my pet wasn’t close to me. It worked quickly, and as my baby began walking towards me, their legs gave out. They could no longer move, and their head began to lower to the ground. My love was essentially “gone” by this point. So their last moments were of losing their ability to walk, then nodding off on the hardwood floor. The doctor then said “you can hold them now.” Again, they were already gone mentally by then. The second injection caused their heart to stop quickly, in less than a minute. I don’t want to come across as ungrateful, and ultimately it was up to me to do what I saw fit, but it’s still painful to remember my pets last moments. I replay their last day, and am able to hold on until I see them lose their mobility and sink to the floor. I wish I could change my reaction to the doctor in that moment. Please let people hold their babies if that’s what they choose, especially when their pet spent endless hours happily in their arms while living.

Dr. Ross was like an angel coming in to care for my dog, shiloh, in his final hours. I have never received so much reassurance, transparency, and care from a vet and I trusted Dr. Ross to make his transition as peaceful as possible, which she did beyond my expectations. Thank you Dr. Ross for being who you are.

I cannot recommend Dr.Daneilla Ross highly enough for the incredible compassion and grace she showed during one of the hardest moments of our life's. Saying goodbye to my much-loved Maddie was devastating, but Dr. Ross made the experience a peaceful, dignified, and profoundly beautiful transition. From the moment she arrived, her priority was clearly Maddie’s comfort and our peace of mind , as well as Maddie's sister and shadow, Zia. Dr. Ross treated Maddie with such tenderness, acknowledging the deep bond we shared. It never felt like a "procedure"—it felt like a shared moment of respect. She took the time to explain the entire process with such gentleness. Knowing exactly what to expect helped ease the anxiety and allowed us to focus entirely on our final moments together. Respectful of Spac -: Dr. Ross gave us all the time we needed to say our goodbyes. We never felt rushed; instead, we felt supported in a way that allowed us to honor Maddie’s life properly. In a time of immense grief, Dr. Ross was a beacon of kindness. Her professionalism is matched only by her heart, and I am forever grateful that she was the one to help Maddie cross the rainbow bridge. Annie L

Our family is so grateful to Dr. Ross and the services she provided during a very difficult time. She exuded so much warmth, empathy, and kindness that truly made a difference. In the future, we will not do this any other way. I cannot stress how appreciative we are in the care Dr. Ross took in honoring our beloved Lefty's end of life. We send a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Ross with endless gratitude for the peace she provided that night.

Dr. Ross was really gentle in guiding us through what was otherwise a really difficult time. We are so grateful we got to give our sweet Bailey a peaceful goodbye at home, surrounded by her favorite people, on her favorite bed.

Dr. Ross was the most gentle, kind, and present person in a time when you need someone to just be in it and there. She took amazing care of our sweet Kinzie. Talked us through the process. Let us be with her for a moment after she passed. It was as lovely of an experience as you can hope for in such a difficult time
