Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

Growing up as an animal lover, I always saw myself being a veterinarian. Early in my career I realized that veterinary medicine is more than just animals, it's about the people connected to the animals. As friends, family, and neighbors have increasingly asked for my advice and help in guiding them through end-of-life decisions for their pets, I realized there was a great need for the support that in-home euthanasia can provide. I feel privileged to be able to serve my community in this way.

What pet parents are saying

We are so grateful for Coda and Dr Glen. The experience of saying goodbye to our little Lucy was so heartbreaking, but Dr G. was patient, kind and so very gentle…with Lucy And with us. This is a fabulous service. We are so appreciative to have had Lucy enjoy her final time here at home, and pass peacefully here in her own bed. We thank you.

This service was so helpful to us. Dr. Glenn was so kind and caring. He walked us through the process and listened to stories about our beloved pup. It helped us immensely to say good bye to our Stella blue in the comfort of our own home. No stress of the vets office and our other dog was able to be there for his sister. We would definitely recommend this to make such a difficult day a little bit easier.

Dr Jackson is a wonderful Veterinarian who respects and honors the bond between animals and their human caretakers. He made a difficult time as gentle and fear free as possible.

Recently, I had to put my daughter's dear duck (Omelet) down. My daughter was abroad, and I had never put an animal down before. Omelet was the last surviving duck of our flock of four. She was 12 years old - a deeply loved pet, who returned our love each and every day. This was very difficult for me. Dr. Glenn Jackson came to my house, and I am so glad that I found him on this website. I cannot imagine anyone being more compassionate, kind and caring. I shared some stories about Omelet, which he clearly enjoyed hearing, before he gently explained the process. Omelet seemed to know what was coming, and she was remarkably calm and ready. I held her the whole time with Yo-o Ma's "The Swan" softly playing in the background (which she loved). Dr. Jackson even hit "play" on the music for me while I was holding her. He described each step so clearly in advance, and with such gentle reassurance. Omelet never once displayed fear, never tried to squirm out of my arms, and never cried out. She just gently passed away in my arms. I cannot imagine a more beautiful and meaningful experience. I will always be eternally grateful to Dr. Jackson.

Dr Glenn Jackson was truly such a kind gentle person, I couldn’t have picked anyone better to help us through a terribly difficult time. Right off the get go made me and my partner feel comfortable with him. He went above and beyond and even sent us a kind card a few weeks after. I cannot recommend these services enough. Thank you!
