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.

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.

We've euthanized our pets in the vets office and it wasn't pleasant. Saying goodbye to your furry babies at home makes the process easier. Our other dogs were able to also say goodbye and witness our boys passing. It is a great service and Dr. Stukey was very compassionate.

Review by Dr. Kirsten Stukey

Dr. Stukey was truly amazing. Putting down our beloved dog had me an emotional mess and Dr. Stukey handled everything with so much patience and compassion. She explained everything great and it shows she truly cares. When hearing about the condition of our dog, she was able to come much quicker than the appointment slot, which meant a lot to us. I highly highly recommend her!

Kirsten was so kind and compassion during such a difficult time. She allowed my family and I as much time as we needed to say goodbye both before and after. She talked us through the process and made sure we were ready with each step. I’m so grateful that we were able to send my baby off in our own home, surrounded by people who loved him and who he loved back.

Dr. Kirsten was totally amazing! She was super compassionate. She was kind and calm with me and my sweet dog Emma. She gave us the time we needed together. And she gave me the time at the end that I needed to hold Emma. And then she allowed me to carry Emma in a basket out to her car. She was incredibly kind, empathetic and professional! I would recommend her to all of my friends and family. She made a very difficult situation more comfortable. I very much appreciate her.
