Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I decided that becoming a vet was my calling at a very young age after I became obsessed with horses, cats, and dogs. I determined early on that becoming a vet would be the best way to spend my days with animals. As a veterinarian, I have had the opportunity to euthanize my own animals at home and felt like that was the best gift I could give them. Knowing how much it meant to my own pets helped me to realize the importance of giving pets a peaceful passing at home.

What pet parents are saying

On a very difficult day Dr Hart was so supportive, compassionate and professional. She informed us of the process answered all questions and let us set the timing to ensure our Clohe was as comfortable as possible. That was what was most important to us. She reassured us that we made the right decision at the right time for our Clohe bug.

Dr Hart was compassionate and held space on such a difficult day. Her immediate response to me was much appreciated when I reached out late at night for a next morning appointment. Thank you, Dr. Hart!!! We appreciate you!!

Dr. Hart is a very caring and compassionate Dr. She understood the urgency of our needs and she went out of her way to accommodate us with an appointment. Even though this is a very painful experience, she understands and it makes all the difference to be able to make your pet comfortable in their home.

Thank you for being with us in such a hard moment and walking us through the entire thing. I appreciated not having to do anything after the visit and getting her ashes delivered directly to our door.
