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 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

Kirsten was very compassionate, professional, and kind. I couldn’t have asked for a better vet to help me with one of the worst times of my life. It was heartbreaking to lose my dog, but it was peaceful and loving. I am grateful to Kirsten and would definitely recommend her to family and friends in this difficult situation.

Dr. Stukey made a very sad situation a little more bearable. She was so kind, caring, and gentle with the procedure. I can’t thank her enough for treating my Kloe with care and compassion in her final moments.

Dr. Stukey helped me and my little Dante through an incredibly difficult and sad day. He was suffering, and he was in dire need of relief. She was so kind and patient and just a calming presence for the both of us. We never want that day to come, but I highly recommend Dr. Stukey when that time comes.
