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.

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 helped us create a peaceful and loving environment for our Sully. She encouraged lots of love and treats before starting the process and allowed us the time we needed with him during and after his passing. I would recommend Dr. Hart to anyone having to make this difficult decision.

Dr. Hart was wonderful and handled all my young kids curious questions. I was torn on my kids, 6 and 8, being present and just taking him to a vet but so glad I did it at our home as they were able to say their final goodbyes. I can’t imagine just putting him in the car and leaving and coming back home and then having to deal with all those questions myself. Thank you again!!!

Review by Dr. Katharyn Hart

I can’t thank Dr Hart enough for coming to my house on a weekend evening to help our Kodi cross the rainbow bridge. When I first contacted the service they were extremely informative and empathetic. I was able to get an appointment time within 24 hours and they did a great job keeping me informed until they arrived. Dr Hart was compassionate and professional. Having her come to our home allowed Kodi to remain comfortable in his safe environment until the very end. I highly recommend their service to anyone who unfortunately has to experience their fur baby’s passing.
