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

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.

We’ve lost 2 babies in the last 8 months and the only thing that made it easier was knowing that we could could help ease their suffering at home surrounded by all their fur siblings and the people who love them! We will always do at home euthanasia moving forward. It’s easier for everyone involved and it was so peaceful and private. Dr. Stukey is an incredible doctor and an even more incredible human. She’s helped us now twice and you can tell she cares about your babies just as much as you do. It was truly a gift to say goodbye this way!

Dr. Stukey was very professional with taking care of Nate (12.5 years) to help ease his pain. He was our baby before we had two boys. She went above and beyond to further assist me with carrying Nate Dogg to his final, earthly resting place. I recommend their services.

Dr. Stukey was very kind and patient with our family as we went through the process of saying good bye to our sweet girl. She had treats for Sierra, loved on her, and listened to our stories. I would highly recommend Dr. Stukey to take care of your precious pet.

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.

Review by Dr. Kirsten Stukey

It was very difficult to make the decision to put my fifteen year old pup Lucy to sleep. Dr. Stukey provided in-home euthanasia with the utmost care, compassion, empathy and respect for both me and my girl Lucy. On one of the saddest days of my life, Dr. Stukey was a true blessing. Dr. Stukey was an angel when I really needed one. I will always be grateful for the loving way that she handled a truly difficult situation. Thanks again.
