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.

She was very compassionate and very gentle handling not only Penny, but us as well. We had plenty of time to say goodbye, and we felt very comfortable having her take care of Penny's last moments.

When the time came to say goodbye to our sweet husky, we knew we wanted to do it at home. This proved to be the best case scenario for this heartbreaking experience. Dr. Kirsten Stukey was so kind and compassionate. She gave us all the time we needed and ensured that our dog was fast asleep before performing the final procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Stukey’s at home service when this sad time comes.

She was very compassionate and patient with the current situation in every way she was trying to give us comfort with our pet. I appreciate her coming in and helping our baby to pass in our home with family.

We are so very glad we chose to do in-home pet euthanasia, especially with Dr. Stukey. She was very respectful and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the process, especially our sweet pup. We wanted an intimate moment with our sweet Sammy, and doing this at home where we could take our time was priceless. We wouldn’t have done it any other way.
