Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

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.

What pet parents are saying

When I called, I talked to a very nice gentleman. He put me at ease and helped me make this difficult appointment. Dr. Dixon was very professional. She let us know everything she was doing and what to expect. But, her compassion was above and beyond anything I have experienced before. Thank you so much for helping us through this difficult time.

We had the best experience you could ask for while sending our best boy over the rainbow bridge. He went home in the presence of our other two babies, my husband, and myself. It was peaceful and private.

Extremely thoughtful and kind. Would truly recommend to anyone faced with this difficult decision. We truly could not have gone through this emotionally without her support.

Dr.Dixon was absolutely amazing. It’s never easy to say goodbye to your best friend but she was so patient and sweet. I can’t thank her enough for making this a little easier.

Very caring and gentle experience. Letting go of our almost 18 year old cat was so much easier in our own home on his own bed. Communication was great, and it was an extremely peaceful passing with no pain or stress whatsoever.
