Verified Veterinarian
I see veterinary medicine as a profession of service, service to the animals in need of care and service to their owners who share and mutually celebrate the human animal bond. Every animal whom I care for teaches me something and helps me be a better veterinarian and a better person. In-home euthanasia is a gift that we can give our pets. We can provide solace for them and our families by letting them pass on in a place they know surrounded by those they love. In-home euthanasia allows us to be able to advocate for our pets and make the choice for how we want to say goodbye.

Dr Dixon was so kind and patient with us as we'd never lost a pet before. She explained what would happen and allowed Boomer to pass away peacefully in our arms, in our own home. I wouldn't have done this any other way and we are so grateful for her care.
Dr. Dixon provided such empathetic and knowledgeable care on a very difficult day. She took care of everything and we never doubted Frankie was loved and cared for by her from the moment she entered our home to the moment she returned his ashes. Could not more highly recommend Dr. Dixon! We will utilize her services as long as we live in Central Oregon.
I wasn't aware of this at home service and I wish my primary Vet had suggested it as an option. Thank God a friend suggested this. My dog was able to pass in his own home environment with a ton of love around him. JoAnne was professional and caring and walked us through step by step. This is the only route we will take from now on. I highly recommend this option.
Losing our much loved dog was so difficult. Dr. Dixon was so kind and loving to us and to Buddy. She has a very calming presence and we appreciated it very much. Losing a pet is so painful and there’s nothing that can really make it easier. Her kindness and compassion was comforting.
Dr. Dixon was so kind and helped Eddie with a peaceful passing. She was compassionate. I’m grateful she was able to help us with our sweet boy Eddie. He had cancer and she helped us say goodbye to Eddie. I miss Eddie so much. Thank you Dr. Dixon for your kindness.
Dr. Dixon was absolutely incredible. She made an extremely difficult and emotional process a little easier with her calm demeanor and truly caring treatment of our big old boy. I had a lot of anxiety leading up to our appointment but as soon as she came in and met our fur family, I was quickly put at ease. She gave us plenty of space and provided us all the time we needed to say our final goodbye. For something so difficult, we could not have asked for more from a veterinarian.
