Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Our pets are one of the few constants in our life. They play such a grounding role for us, with their unconditional love and support. It is truly the last loving decision we can make as their caretakers to help them pass peacefully, with dignity and respect. As a veterinarian that has helped with end-of-life care both in home and in a clinic, I see the many great benefits for families and their pets with the privacy of in-home services, where both are the most comfortable and relaxed in their own environment.

What pet parents are saying
If I could give Dr. Jessica 100 stars, I absolutely would. We recently faced one of the hardest moments of our lives, saying goodbye to our 10.5 year old golden retriever, Seamus (left in photo), just five months after losing his littermate, Logan (right in photo). It was a heart wrenching decision, but Dr. Jessica made an unbearable experience as comforting and compassionate as humanly possible. From the moment she arrived at our home, she felt less like a doctor coming to perform a service and more like a trusted family member walking alongside us. She came out to our back porch where Seamus was resting. Although he was too weak to show his usual smiles, he still greeted her with a wagging tail, a testament to the warmth and gentleness she brought with her. Dr. Jessica took her time to sit with us, pet and love Seamus and explain every step of the process with such patience and care. She emphasized over and over, "Take your time," and "It's okay. When you're ready." There was never a sense of being rushed, only compassion, understanding and genuine love for our boy in his final moments. She even brought extra treats for Seamus, ensuring he was spoiled with love and kindness right to the end. Dr. Jessica also had a couple of thoughtful surprises for us that meant a great deal to our family. Her attention to both the emotional and professional aspects of her visit was extraordinary. If you are reading this and struggling with an impossible decision, I am deeply sorry. I understand the pain you're feeling. But if it offers even a small bit of comfort, I can confidently say Dr. Jessica is the person you want by your side. We will forever be grateful for the care, dignity and compassion she showed us and Seamus during this heartbreaking time. Thank you, Dr. Jessica! You are truly a blessing.
She was very caring, and you can tell how much she loves animals. She helped us feel better about our decision to have to put down our beloved pet and helped us know we were doing the right thing for our cat. She did her best to explain everything that we were going to be experiencing. It takes a very special person to do what she does and we were very grateful to have us there helping our cat at the end.
We recently had to say goodbye to our beloved dog, Wilson, and chose in-home euthanasia so he could be comfortable in his favorite place. Wilson was quirky, special, and so very loveable. Dr. Jessica Mumm came into our home and showed such kindness, patience, and empathy throughout the entire process. She treated Wilson with the utmost compassion and dignity, and she gave us the space and support we needed during such a difficult moment. Her gentle presence made an incredibly hard day just a little bit easier. We are so grateful for the care she provided to both Wilson and our family.
Our dear hound Frankie woke up Saturday morning unable to walk due to the pain of his hip dysplasia. We knew our 13 yr old friend suffered from the condition, but it finally crippled him. We spent a sleepless night, watching him agonize over not being able to go outside to do his business. Sunday morning I looked for home services for pet euthanasia and found Dr. Mumm. She replied immediately and put me at ease. Frankie had suffered abuse before we adopted him and had a terrible fear of riding in a vehicle so we needed someone to come to us. She arrived and explained the procedure calmly and sympathetically. Our whole family was able to be there to say goodbye. It is one of the hardest choices a pet lover has to make, but Dr, Mumm did everything right, as far as we are concerned. Have already recommended her to friends and family. Thank you!
Dr. Jessica was amazing. She had so much care for our sweet George and the entire family. She listened to our stories and never pushed us. She was patient and really made a very sad day a little easier. Having to say goodbye to a beloved furry family member is never fun, but Dr. Jessica was a true blessing for our family. We can’t say enough good things about our experience. We are grateful for her help.
Dr Jessica was absolutely wonderful ❤️ She made one the hardest days, as peaceful as it could possibly be. Having our sweet Bonny at home, where she was the most content, was such a blessing!! I am forever grateful for this service!!❤️🐾
