Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I have a loving respect for all of Gods creations. After 25 years of stress filled pet emergency work and experiencing the grief and heartbreak that pet lovers go through on a daily basis one can't help but ponder life and death. These experiences, in part, lead me to practice yoga and meditation for over 30 years, which, at their essence are preparation for the transition from this life to something that we really can't explain.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Bruker was compassionate, gentle, and informative when helping us say goodbye to our 15-year-old Vizsla. He answered our questions, made sure our dog was comfortable and pain-free, and gave us the time we needed. His kindness made a very difficult moment easier.

Review by Dr. John Bruker

Dr Bruker was so patient and kind. He helped me through one of the most difficult days of my life with compassion for me and Peaches. He made sure her last moments were as peaceful as possible for both of us.
