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 FANTASTIC! I cannot say enough great things about her. She was knowlegable, calm and very good with our cat. This was my 25 year old daughters cat that she had since she was 5 or 6 and it was the first time she has had today goodby to a Pet . Dr Stukey answered all of her questions, and was SO compassionate and caring. If you have to say goodbye to your Pet I would strongly reccomend Dr Stukey!!!! A+++++++ She even has her trunk decorated and has a sweet basket for your beloved Pet.

Review by Dr. Kirsten Stukey

I highly recommend Dr. Kirsten Stukey for in home pet euthanasia. Our beloved dog was in bad shape and she was able to come sooner than the scheduled appointment. She was incredibly patient, understanding, and kind when I was an emotional mess. She truly cares and it shows. I highly recommend

Dr. Stukey was so very kind and gentle with our dear dog. She was respectful and knew how hard this was for our family as we lost the only pet we have ever had.

Review by Dr. Kirsten Stukey

Dr. Kirsten was totally amazing! She was super compassionate. She was kind and calm with me and my sweet dog Emma. She gave us the time we needed together. And she gave me the time at the end that I needed to hold Emma. And then she allowed me to carry Emma in a basket out to her car. She was incredibly kind, empathetic and professional! I would recommend her to all of my friends and family. She made a very difficult situation more comfortable. I very much appreciate her.

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.

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.
