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.

My family and I felt comfortable and supported as we said goodbye to our family member Leia. Dr. Hart really was perfect in helping us say goodbye. I am thankful she was the vet that we chose.

Unfortunately we had to use this service twice in a short amount of time. Dr. Katharyn Hart was our first caregiver for our boy, Wrango and Dr. Lori Thomas was our caregiver for our old gal, Shyloh. They both showed an amazing amount of compassion with our pups, were patient with us as we went through the experience and were so thoughtful in answering any questions we had. They both made the experience very peaceful for all involved and though we were/are heartbroken, knowing that our pups were in the hands of these 2 vets, made it a bit better.

Dr. Hart was amazing! They were compassionate, empathetic, and non-judgmental. They let me know what ever step of the process was going to be before anything was done, asked if I had questions along the way, and reaffirmed what we were going to do next before we did it. They engaged me in conversation at my pace and I did not feel rushed at all through the processes. We only took the next step when I felt me and my fur baby were ready. You will be absolutely lucky if Dr. Hart comes to your home to assist you and your fur baby in their passing.

Katharyn came on an urgent basis and I was so grateful for that. She was professional, kind, answered all my questions, and helped reassure me that our friend Phoenix wasn't experiencing any pain through the process. She was patient with me, as I wasnt thinking at my best. I very much appreciated her services.

We were so sad to say goodbye to our dog Winnie, but Dr. Hart made the experience so loving and warm in our home. It’s truly a gift to allow your pet to say goodbye in the comfort of their home and with their people. Dr. Hart sat with us on the floor, comforted our dog with us, and just held an open warm space for us to say goodbye. We feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to do this at home and with Dr. Hart’s support.
