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.

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.

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 was extremely communicative which I appreciated. She was very respectful and allowed us time to say goodbye to our sweet girl on our own time and terms. This was an extremely difficult day for our family and for our girl to go in peace in her own bed, surrounded by her family meant a lot to me. We appreciate this service so much.

Kristen was an angel at the time we needed one most. She came in to our house and reassured us we were making the right decision. We will always be grateful for her intervention at a time that we were so vulnerable.

Kirsten was incredible in every way. The days leading up, she texted words of encouragement and provided information that was so incredibly. I cannot imagine a smoother experience. It didn’t take away our pain, but we felt so well cared for throughout. This was so, so much harder than we ever imagined, but Kirsten was key in making such a difference for us.
