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. 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.

Dr. Kirsten Stukey was professional and understanding. She did not rush time spent with our dog and made the experience as easy as it could be. Our Cooper went surround by love without an ounce of fear. He got be to be comfortable in his home. I would recommend Dr. Stukey highly.

She was so incredible. This was our teens first pet death and she took the time to explain what would happen. She gave them and us plenty of time to say goodbye, give kisses and feel ready. In a situation no one wants to find themselves, her kindness and care made it so we have warm memories of saying goodbye to our dog.

Review by Dr. Kirsten Stukey

Although this decision is a tough one to make, know that this is an act of selflessness; to give your fur baby peace and comfort in their last moments is love. I hope that when you read this message it will reassure you that you and your fur baby will be in good hands with Dr. Kirsten Stukey. Everything happened so fast for us, and I am thankful that we landed someone with compassion and gentleness during this difficult period.
