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.

Review by Dr. Kirsten Stukey

Dr. Kirsten Stukey was gentle, compassionate and caring from the moment she entered our home. Our experience with her under difficult and emotional circumstances was nothing but comforting. Even our dog seemed to sense that we were in the presence of an angel. I highly recommend her.

Review by Dr. Kirsten Stukey

Dr. Stukey helped tremendously on one of the most difficult days of my life. She listened to me and validated me and my experience with her could not have been better given the upsetting circumstances. She is beyond compassionate and treated me and my pet with the highest level of care possible. I am so grateful that I found her and that she came to my aid. I would highly recommend her to others.

Review by Dr. Kirsten Stukey

I can't say enough good things about our experience with Dr. Kirsten Stukey. She was prompt in reaching out and scheduling was very easy. No detail was overlooked as far as making this a smooth transition and being respectful during such a hard time. She was the right balance of somber and personable. Everything was such a good experience for such a bad time. I can't thank her enough for coming in and just making such a hard thing a little more peaceful.
