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
Dr. Hart was very kind and compassionate when she was in our home. She explained each step thoroughly and gave us plenty of time to say our goodbyes. I would highly recommend her if you need to say goodbye to your pet.
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.
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.
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.
I was so grateful to find Dr. Hart and be able to book an appointment same day. My Cat of 12 beautiful years Meow Meow had been ill and our vet was unable to find out what was causing his illness. I cannot express how grateful I am to have been able to welcome her into our home to lay him to rest rather than taking him to the vet for his final moments. I did not feel judged for crying, she explained everything every step of the way and made sure that Meow Meow was comfortable with her as well before going through with the service. She allowed me to place him in transport myself and even let me walk out to the car to say goodbye before taking him. If you are looking for a peaceful passing with your fur baby I recommend Dr. Hart. I cannot thank her enough for being there for us.
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.
