Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

One of my earliest memories is of saying goodbye to my mom’s dog, Amy, when I was 4 years old. The veterinarian who helped us through that experience was so kind, compassionate, and methodical—I never forgot it. That moment inspired me to become a vet, and it continues to shape my passion for supporting pets and their families during end-of-life care. Before starting this work, I spent years in emergency veterinary care, helping families through some of their hardest moments. This experience helps me bring both clinical expertise and heartfelt understanding to families facing the most difficult goodbye. After recently saying goodbye to my own beloved dog, Jackie, I truly came to understand how important it is to be able to say goodbye at home—in a space filled with comfort, love, and familiarity. That experience shaped my approach and deepened my commitment to helping others navigate this difficult time with compassion, respect, and peace.

She was so great. It’s never easy losing your pet but she has such a calming demeanor and presence about her. She approached everything very gently which was comforting for us, our pet and our kids. Thank you, Dr. Jill!

Review by Dr. Jill Thomason

This is one of the hardest experiences for those of us who adore our pets. For animals who are traumatized by car rides and vet visits it makes it all the harder to know their final moments are stressful. I was given Dr Thomason's name by our vet and opted for the in-home procedure. It was still a heart-breaking moment, but having Jojo in her usual place, on my lap, unafraid was a much more peaceful end to her life. Dr Thomason is empathic and caring. She didn't rush anything and took the entire process at my pace. I am so grateful for her calm demeanor. She made one of the worst moments in my life easier, knowing Jojo was not stressed in the least and her final moments were with her family in her familiar home. The paw-print card that arrived in the mail was so appreciated. I very highly recommend Dr Thomason for anyone who opts for an in-home euthanasia.

My sweet Lilli was ready to go heaven. Dr.Jill came into our lives to help her go. She was kind and caring My Lilli took to her and her treats right away. She sat on the floor next to her bed and made sure she was comfortable. Her last minutes on earth was in her loving hands. Because of Dr Jill my Lilli went to dog heaven with style and grace. Thank you Dr Jill

Dr. Thomason was timely and responsive on short notice. She explained what to expect, was patient and compassionate and was great with follow up. Could not have asked more under a very difficult decision. Thank you.
