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
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.
Dr. Mumm was incredibly compassionate and caring even though we booked a same day appointment and she had not met our family before. Our dog was so clearly in pain that day and we needed help urgently, she was truly incredible. I work in hospice (for humans) and had high expectations, she exceeded all of them. I just can't say enough about how she made a very difficult situation less painful for the whole family.
I can't say enough about the care and true feelings Dr. Jessica had for my cat Sasi and I. She provided us with everything for a gentle and comfortable good bye for my sweet girl. I was able to continue petting her gently the entire time. I highly recommend this service to anyone with a beloved pet.❤️
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.
Dr. Mumm was absolutely amazing. She helped to make the experience smooth and comfortable for my cat, Mignon, as well as for my family. Recommend 100%.
We had a wonderful experience with in-home pet euthanasia. Dr. Mumm was kind, gentle, knowledgeable, very prepared with supplies. She was so nice and so understanding. My daughter and I really appreciated her and her service in so many ways. I would highly recommend her and this service. Our fur baby was 14 years old and had been struggling with illness probably longer than we realized. It was the right time, although heartbreaking, and the right thing to do.
