Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Growing up as early as about 13 years old I loved animals and wanted to work with them to some capacity as part of my career. Once starting college I obtained a job as a veterinary technician assistant and the rest is history. I never saw myself offering In Home Euthanasia as a career within this profession, although a big part of my job on a day to day basis is performing this procedure. It was only after being able to perform this on my own pet in my own home that I was awakened with the huge difference it made and the comfort it offered both myself, my family and my passing pet. After experiencing this I wanted to ensure others in my area had an option like this as this service is not offered in the area I live. I am happy to do so and look forward to allowing other pet parents to benefit from the service.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Williams is an amazing and compassionate care provider. Although I don’t want to have to use this service again in the future, as a senior pet owner I know the inevitable will happen and I will definitely request Dr. Williams again. Thank you for taking such good care of me and my family during such a sad time.
We’re incredibly grateful that Josh was there to help our boy peacefully cross over. He took the time to explain everything, and his presence made us feel safe and comforted, even during such an unbearably difficult moment. Given the circumstances, we wouldn’t have wanted to say goodbye any other way. Josh will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we are deeply thankful for his compassion and the gift he gave us.
DR. JOSH WAS MORE THAN I ANTICIPATED. IN FACT JUST GETTING THIS EMAIL IS MAKING ME CRY. I MISS HER SO MUCH. HE WAS COMPASSIONATE AND MADE THIS SAD TIME MORE BEARABLE. I APPRECIATED HIM WITH ALL MY HEART. THANK YOU DR.WILLIAMS. I COULD NOT ASK OR PRAY FOR ANY FINER VET! I'VE NEVER HAD AN AT HOME EUTHANASIA AND I'M SO GLAD I DID. I STILL CRY OVER LOSING HER ALMOST EVERY DAY SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. ANNIE WAS SUCH A GOOD GIRL AND WENT THROUGH SOME UNBEARABLE PAIN. I'M SO GRATEFUL SHE IS NOW IN HEAVEN WAITING FOR ME. GOD BLESS YOU DR. WILLIAMS.
Dr. Williams is truly an angel on earth. During one of the hardest moments of our lives, he helped us say goodbye to our beloved Koffy.with a level of compassion and kindness that is impossible to put into words. He took the time to explain the entire process gently and clearly, making sure we understood every step and felt supported throughout. His empathy, patience, and compassion were extraordinary. From the moment he arrived, he treated Koffy with so much love, tenderness, and respect, as if she were his own. In such a painful moment, Dr. Williams brought us comfort and peace. His professionalism, warmth, and genuine care made an unbearable situation a little easier to endure. We will be forever grateful to him for giving our sweet girl a peaceful and dignified goodbye. Thank you, Dr. Williams, from the bottom of our hearts. We will never forget your kindness.
I only did a consult with Dr. Josh Williams. As of today, my pet is still alive so somehow your paperwork hasn't caught up. I will be calling Dr. Josh, when the time comes to euthanize her. But my review of my consult is that, Dr. Josh, is an excellent vet. He's very caring, professional, and was wonderful with my dog. He has the perfect personality for this job that he does. I wish all vets were like him. I thought I wanted a female, home-visit vet, as my dog likes females better than males, but Dr. Josh, proved me wrong. He was so gentle with my little rescue dog, Bella. I have already recommended him to a couple of my friends.
Nothing prepares you for the loss of a pet. When the time came we were very sad and we felt the weight of what was to come. I wasn’t quite prepared for Josh or anyone for that matter to come in with higher energy than what we were feeling. He continued to speak and inform us of what to expect & his tone and manner reassured and comforted us. He told us she wasn’t going to feel any pain. He could tell how much we loved her. (This was her health status: This was the fourth time that she had become too weak to walk on her own and she had stopped eating solid food & stopped drinking water). If I had to do it again, I would choose Josh. He was respectful of her little body which meant everything to me. He made a very painful decision bearable. He’s a very sweet man. I’m very grateful for him and people like him that make a difficult process easier. Thank you for being positive in such a hard time. Thank you, Josh, for your positive attitude and your love for animals.
