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

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.

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!!

Our dog Zelda just declined so quickly. It was so nice to be able to do this at home, her happy place, her home. Dr Hart was just so lovely and caring and helpful during this time. And a week later, our pups ashes are home with us. Thank you for helping us Dr Hart.

She was perfect during my most painful crisis. I couldn't even look at her when she arrived. I opened the door to let her in, locked myself in my office where I fell asleep crying and she took care of everything without making me witness images I would never be able to erase. She was professional, non judgemental and empathetic which is exactly what I needed at the time.

Review by Dr. Katharyn Hart

Dr. Hart was so kind, thoughtful and empathetic. Her calm, caring demeanor made a difficult decision easier to handle. She allowed me to grieve my way and take as much time as I needed. I will definitely recommend Dr. Hart to any of my friends who may have to go through this.

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