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 explained everything and took his time to shepherd us through an incredibly hard moment. He was kind, thoughtful, and loving. I'm so glad I was able to send Wyatt off from his home where he was calm and relaxed. I've already referred Dr Williams to another friend who was facing the same decision. Thank you for providing this incredible service in Dr Williams! You are an incredible human.
I had been dreading the day I’d have to say goodbye to my sweet girl for a while, between being worried that a vet wouldn’t believe me when I said she was ready and just knowing what the rushed process of having this done in a vet clinic is like. I could not be more grateful to have found Dr. Josh. He was a huge answer to prayer. As others have said, he is very gentle and kind and doesn’t bring an inappropriately high energy to the situation. He let us take our time, he throughly walked us through everything that would happen, and most importantly to me, he reassured us that we were making the right decision for our girl. He even got down on the floor to talk to my grieving toddler and explain that our girl was ready and answered his questions. Losing my girl was so incredibly painful, but Dr. Josh provided us with the best experience we could have had. We got to be in her favorite room in the house by an open window so she could breathe the warm, fresh air while lying on her softest bed in my arms as she fell asleep. No rush, no noise of other pets/people around us, and no having to walk to a front desk afterward to pay the bill while barely holding it together. Dr. Josh’s care for every pet he meets is obvious, and I would highly recommend him and his services to anybody who is needing to help their beloved fur babies cross over to the rainbow bridge!
I'd be pretty hard-pressed to say what hasn't already been said about Dr. Josh Williams' compassionate and professional care. I do, though, want to echo those words with the greatest amount of respect and appreciation. Every bit of it is true. In the early afternoon light of a sun-filled day, my sweet boy Max was put to rest in our backyard. One of his favorite places to be. There was so much grace in those moments. No drama, no struggle . . . just peace. I am forever grateful ~
I really appreciated Josh’s sensitivity, professionalism, and overall kindness in assisting with my dog, Zilly’s at home euthanasia. As my long time companion rested in the grass, we loved her with our words, petting, and compassion. As time passed she peacefully passed away. Josh never rushed us and encus to take our time. He helped us carry her and place her in the grave in the garden. He helped my dog, Zilly, and me through a very difficult transition. This has really helped me to move through the grieving process in a healthy way. I have so much peace of mind that Zilly was able to die in a respectful, peaceful, and loving way . It was my last gift to her. I so appreciate Josh and his ability to provide support for me and my dog at a time that I felt at a loss and out of sorts.
Dear doc Williams, I want to express my deepest gratitude and humanity and deepest compassion you shown not only me but my beloved Kona. His journey was done in such a humanity way ever shown. Thank you for your kindness and love you have shown Kona.
Josh was kind, present and gave me information on my dog's euthanasia. He couldn't have been more supportive. He made a very tough situation so much easier.
