Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I believe precious memories with your pet should never be overshadowed by a stressful goodbye. I have firsthand experience with the stress of saying goodbye to my first dog, Willy, at the clinic, and since then being able to say goodbye to two other dogs at home. This is why a peaceful passing at home is so important to me.

Dr. Hsia was very professional and gentle with our Lola. He made the experience very easy for our family. His patience with our pet and allowing the kids time with her made it so much easier. He has a calming presence that makes a difficult process easier to handle. He was a great match for us and our pet.

Dr. Gary Hsia showed empathy and compassion when we had to make the heartbreaking decision of putting our 13-year old pug out of his pain/suffering from cancer. Dr. Hsia handled Rocky with much care and attention to his every detail and need. The experience of being able to provide love and comfort for Rocky in his own home by utilizing this method made this already difficult experience of his passing, just a little bearable. The card and the delivery of Rocky's remains made it personal. - Thank you Dr. Hsia (and Bethany) - Jodi W.

Thank You, Dr. Gary Saying goodbye to my 15-year-old dog, Kona, was incredibly hard, but I’m so grateful Dr. Gary was there for us. He handled everything with compassion, patience, and true care—for Kona and for my family. He made sure the process was peaceful and gave us the time and space we needed. Dr. Gary’s empathy made a painful moment a little more bearable. I’ll always appreciate the respect and kindness he showed during Kona’s final moments. If you’re looking for a vet who truly cares, we can’t recommend him enough.

We appreciate the timely visit for our Chico. The office personnel was so helpful and caring. Our veterinarian, Dr. Gary Hsia made our dear Chico's transition with peaceful compassion to the other side. Our family is beyond grateful for his kind and thoughtful words. Chico's wooden photo box and 👣 footprint gave us comfort knowing he was treated with the utmost respect. The name stones were a nice touch, too.
