Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

From as early as I can remember, I always had an affinity for animals and dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. A turning point came for me when I witnessed my neighbors struggle to transport their elderly dog for a final procedure. It dawned on me that there was a crucial need for in-home euthanasia services. I firmly believe that our furry companions should spend their final moments in the comfort of their own homes, surrounded by the familiar warmth of loved ones.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Jem Scott-Emuakpor, was amazing during what was a very difficult time. She was kind and comforting and allowed us some extended quite time with our Romeo once he had passed. This was extremely comforting and allowed for some much-needed closure. She was a true professional and so calming.

A very heartfelt Thank You to Dr. Jem who was so very caring, professional and compassionate. She explained every step that she was going to do and what would happen during each process and what she was going to do. She made it very comforting for me and my family to say goodbye to my Abby girl and have her go so very peacefully with no more pain.

Review by Dr. Jem Scott-Emuakpor

Dr. Jem Scott-Emuakpor is a true credit to her profession. We all dread this decision and question ourselves every step of the process and there is no one better to guide you than Dr. Jem Scott-Emuakpor. We had set up the appointment and I panicked, Dr. Jem called me and not only answered all my questions and concerns but did so with so much care and understanding. When the day came she showed so much care and concern for not only Caroline, my husband and myself but also our other 2 dogs and how they could be feeling. While I will be forever heartbroken and miss my sweet Caroline, I am at peace because of Dr. Jem Scott-Emuakpor.

Dr. Scott-Emuakpor was kind and empathetic while maintaining complete professionalism. Her thoughtful follow up two weeks later was unexpected but appreciated. She helped make a difficult decision less painful.
