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.

We wanted to thank Dr. Hart for responding so promptly and for providing comforting service to our precious Milo. We also appreciate the tender care given in our home and for the safe transportation service following. It's a difficult decision, but the assurance and understanding cannot be overlooked.

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.

Review by Dr. Katharyn Hart

Dr. Hart was great and the experience could not have been more peaceful. This was a very painful day for me but Dr. Hart did not rush me and I had plenty of time to comfort my baby and say goodbye. She explained the process and told me what she was doing and what to expect for each step. I highly recommend her and it was worth every penny to be able to give my girl a peaceful passing.

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.

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!!
