Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

In my many years as an Emergency veterinarian, I deeply understand the challenges of treating critically ill patients and the nuances of end of life care. I am honored to help pets pass away peacefully in the comfort of their home and with their loving family at their side.

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 made us and Marley feel so comfortable through his transition process. Her lovely energy made for a peaceful send off ceremony.

Review by Dr. Daniella Ross

Dr. Daniella Ross met us on one of the worst days of our lives with empathy, compassion, and kindness. We said goodbye to our cat of 15 years and she walked us through each step of the process-including what and how long until we would receive his ashes. Everything was done with care and a lot of thought-from where he was placed to how he left our home. She even provided additional medical insight that helped us fully appreciate that we were indeed making the right choice for our guy. She listened to our stories about him and let us say goodbye how and when we wanted. The additional thoughtful touches-like leaving us with a sample of his hair, the delivery of his ashes, and a sympathy card was above and beyond my expectations. I cannot recommend this company and Dr. Daniella enough. Angels do exist-and her name is Daniella. Thank you Dr. Ross.

It took me so long to even think about writing this review, let alone actually setting about doing it. It was the hardest decision I've had to make, one that has been fraught with 'what if's' and just wanting it to not have been true in the first place. Daniella, Dr. Ross, didn't make this experience somehow easier, there's no such thing, and she did help to just 'ease' things for me. She explained everything she was doing and what was happening at each step; it was agonizing and yet comforting to know what was happening to my best friend at her end. The kindness, the compassion in just letting me cry on her shoulder, the basket she brought along with the little blankie she used to wrap up my Momo; they all helped knowing she was so cared for by this stranger that helped her move on to the next place. I will always be grateful to Daniella and will call on her strength and kindness to help me again when the time comes.

Thank you to Dr. Ross. Daniella was so empathetic and loving. She gave us all the time we needed with our little furry soul. It is perhaps one of the most difficult decisions ever to be made. It has been 2 weeks since Henry has passed over the rainbow bridge. We have been beside ourselves with grief but knowing he left this physical plane surrounded by love in the comfort of his home - I would not change it for anything. We miss him so much, but Daniella was able to help us through the moment. Highly recommend.

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.
