Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

Whenever possible, people want to be able to go home from the hospital for their remaining days, to die at home. Families want the same for their pets. As in-home pet euthanasia has finally become a viable option, I knew I could add value to the euthanasia experience because of my veterinary experience and my compassion for those pet parents who are deeply grieved over the loss of their four-legged family member. I see this as my calling, to care for the members of my local community.

What pet parents are saying

Dr Duncan was so kind to me and has so much compassion. I was worried and confused about the process for euthanasia that my elderly dog was needing. She explained everything, was patient and sympathetic. She used so much care and respect towards my dog and to me. She made the process much easier for me.

Dr. Duncan was FABULOUS. We cannot recommend her service high enough. She is caring, compassionate and thoughtful. She made our dog’s final moments beautiful and peaceful. She even set up a beautiful memorial for us before she left.

Dr. Duncan was kind, compassionate and professional. My cat Baadger died in the comfort of our home. He felt my caresses and the last sound he heard was my voice. Thank you!
