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 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.
He was very compassionate and communicative. He let us know when he would arrive and made sure we understood what was happening each step of the way, explaining both before and during. He made a difficult process a bit easier and we’re thankful.
Dr. Bruker was incredibly kind and thoughtful through the process of my pet’s home euthenasia, and made sure I was very comfortable and informed. Many thanks to him for helping to make a difficult experience easy and peaceful.
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.
He was very nice to me and my friends who were there to say goodbye and support me. He was very patient with me and listened to me, just what i needed.
Dr. John was incredibly passionate and caring about his work. He had great bedside manners and was there for me when I needed him the most, even on a Sunday when other home vet services weren’t available. I highly recommend him.
