Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I became a veterinarian to make a meaningful difference in the lives of animals and their families, offering comfort, healing, and support through every stage of their journey. I chose to offer in-home euthanasia because I believe it provides the most compassionate, stress-free way for pets to pass in familiar surroundings, surrounded by love.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Todd was very kind and gentle with our little Peanut, and respectful of our grief. She carefully explained everything that would happen and gave us as much time as we needed to be with him before and after. She made his passing much more peaceful for him, especially since she came to our home so he didn't have to experience another trip to the vet's office.
She explained every step of what was going to happen before she did anything. She gave a space to grieve without judgment. Would recommend Dr. Todd to anyone .
Dr. Katie Todd was highly recommended to us. Our 18 year old shihpoo had been struggling with rapidly declining health. I can vividly remember bringing Lilly home at 8 weeks old and spending 18 years of pure joy with her. It was a wonderful honor to get to be her Mommy. That little girl was my primary sidekick and we had a ball together. She was right there with me throughout everything good and bad that life threw our way. When her little body became to tired, I knew that I wanted to make sure that her time was as perfect as it could be for her. I wanted to make sure that Lilly had a calm and peaceful transition. Dr. Katie Todd provided just that for us. She made herself available to us on a Sunday evening and came to our home. Dr. Todd was so kind and soothing. She calmly explained everything to us prior to and as she was administering the medications. Dr. Todd has a very difficult career watching people grieve so terribly but also being so helpful in such a time of need. It takes a very strong person with a tremendous heart to be able to accomplish that. We are so grateful for her and that she provided our beautiful Lilly the opportunity to pass peacefully in the comfort of her own home while be held in her Mommy's arms. Thank you Dr. Todd for being there for us.
Dr. Katie Todd came to my house on a Saturday night at 8pm, after having worked all day. My original appointment was to be Sunday morning at 845AM but she asked if I would like her to come that night. She came and explained the process which I know all too well, but this was the first time having this done at my house. She was so very kind and listened to a man who could barely speak at times without crying. I was able to just lay down with my cat and talk to him as he drifted off to sleep. She also made a set of pawprints for me to keep. I cannot thank her enough for what she did for me and my cat, Buddy. I am forever in her debt. She has a heart of gold to be offering this in home service. It costs more than the traditional vet but it is so worth letting your pet pass peacefully at home, not somewhere that they probably never liked to visit in the first place. Dr Todd will certainly be my first choice when I have to make this difficult decision again. Thank you so much Katie.
Dr. Katie was amazing! She handled everything so professionally yet personally too. Ruger will be so missed by many (as she can attest to, she said it was the biggest crowd she'd had, there were 9 of us) and I will never take my pets to a cold impersonal clinic to pass if I can help it. Having your pet pass at home where they're comfortable and familiar was such a blessing!
Dr. Katie was wonderful. We couldn’t have asked for a better, more calm and peaceful experience. She was so respectful with our precious Kacie.
