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 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

My family and I are so grateful for Dr. Kristen. She was able to come out the same day we made the painful decision that it was time to put our beloved Percy to sleep. She came at 7pm on a Friday night so we could all be there with him at the end. He was a very anxious dog who didn't like strangers. But she was so gentle and careful with him (and with us) that she won over his trust. His passing was peaceful surrounded by love. This type of home service is not cheap, but it was worth it for the comfort and peace of being in his own home for his last moments. And compared to similar home service companies, it was extremely reasonable.

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.

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.

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.

Kirsten was so wonderful with us during this tragic situation. She checked our sweet girl to ensure we were making the right decision and gave us peace that we had done everything possible to save our sweet girl! Thank you for your patience and caring during this difficult time.
