Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
My beloved dog, who saw me through veterinary school, the move to Germany, and through the birth of our first 2 daughters, was dying of cancer. She hated going to the veterinarian. A veterinarian friend came to help her pass at home. Experiencing this tremendous loss, where Roly and my husband and I were most comfortable, made that incredibly hard day the littlest bit easier. I knew that this gift was something I'd someday provide to other pets. That was in 2005 and upon retiring from the Army, I began to offer this service to help other pets and their people.
