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.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Stukey was so kind and supportive of us when we lost our sweet boy Cooper. Having her there with us made a huge difference and we are very grateful that we found her, and that she was able to take care of Coop in such a kind and thoughtful way. My husband and I would highly recommend her.

We lost our beloved fur baby after eleven years together. Dr. Stuckey texted me numerous times during the day to ask for feedback and throughly explained everything. My dog was very much our protector and taking him somewhere to be put to doggy eternity was out of the question. She was so patient with our request with our baby. In such a sad time she made it so calm for Charlie and my family . He was able to pass in his home surrounded by his loved ones . She was absolutely remarkable!! I will forever hold her in my heart ❤️

It is always a very hard decision to help a good doggo over the bridge, but it was the right one, and Dr. Stukey is very compassionate and kind, which made the process much easier to handle. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Stukey was extremely kind and gentle with our Preston. He was never nervous or upset in any way. It was a very peaceful experience for us all.

We've euthanized our pets in the vets office and it wasn't pleasant. Saying goodbye to your furry babies at home makes the process easier. Our other dogs were able to also say goodbye and witness our boys passing. It is a great service and Dr. Stukey was very compassionate.
