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
This was our first experience with home euthanasia. When Dr. Glenn Jackson arrived at our home, he had a calming presence. He is very kind, patient and respectful. We appreciate him very much and are grateful that he provides this service to our community.
The vet came out on a day he had no appointments because after talking with him, we both agreed that there was no quality of life for Nikeeta. These vets actually care
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. Glen Jackson was very professional, sincere, and patient with during this difficult time of having our Jake cross over the rainbow.
Dr. Glenn is very compassionate and kind. He helped us through one of the most difficult experiences of our lives. He is very easy to communicate with, which is important during such an emotional time. I would recommend his services if you are need of them.
I really dont think I could have asked for a better experience to help my family through this time. Dr Glenn Jackson was a blessing. He was soft spoken, heartfelt, and made everyone feel comforted while he helped us say goodbye to our 23 year old cat. My children were able to experience this necessary life lesson with Dr Jackson's support and step by step talk through of everything he did with Dax's (our cat) transition into death. If you have the unfortunate need for their services then Dr Glenn Jackson will be the angel you need in that tough time.
