Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

Being a vet was a childhood dream that started when I was about 4 years old. I started to develop a strong interest in senior pets and end of life care during vet school. I loved the human animal bond and felt so much reward from being able to walk with owners through their pet's later stages of life. I grew up with a little Westie named Maxie. She was my constant companion through grade school and started living with me when I went to vet school. I was her sole caregiver during her "senior years" until I made the decision to say goodbye to her when she was 17 years old. I was a vet at the time and had the gift of having my colleague being able to come to my home. I said goodbye to Maxie surrounded by friends in the comfort of our home. I wish everyone had the opportunity to say goodbye to their furry family members where so many of their memories are made and where they feel most comfortable.

She was absolutely wonderful and considerate while helping us. She helped us feel a little more confident about our decision using her expertise. Unfortunately, it really was Nala's time to go. Dr. Kristen did a great job at doing it peacefully for both us and Nala.

Review by Dr. Kirsten Stukey

Losing our beloved labrador was one of the toughest things we’ve had to go through as a family. Dr Stukey could not have been kinder through the whole process. As much as we miss our sweet girl, we take comfort in the fact that she had the most peaceful passing possible. After all she gave to us, it was the least we could do for her. Thank you Dr. Stukey for your kindness and compassionate care for our girl.

Dr. Stuckey was extremely sensitive to our situation in losing our family dog. He was extremely sick and unable to walk anymore. Her bedside manner during our worst hour and caring handwritten letter of her condolences afterwards were surprising and truly appreciated. We have never been more grateful and will always try to use her services again for any of our pet needs. While heartbreaking, it was by far the best experience we've had with the passing of a loved pet.

Dr. Stukey was kind, compassionate, and patient during a very difficult day for our family. She gave us the gift of a peaceful and quiet end to a life that was precious to us. My boy passed gently and painlessly surrounded by everyone he loved.
