Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

Our pets provide us so much joy and happiness, that we can't ever truly be ready to say goodbye. After participating in euthanasia's in a clinic setting for 15 years, I'm relieved to be able to provide a more relaxing, peaceful, and personal alternative to pets and their families.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Kristina Pugh is honestly the sweetest person EVER! I will never be able to thank her enough for how kind she was to our family and especially our Harley. I never knew about someone coming to the house. I didn’t know how it was going to go. Our sweet dog got to pass in his home, comfortable. Our whole family, who were all an absolute wreck, thought she was perfect. I can’t say enough about her. It’s a difficult time and she made everything easier. Thank you so much for that, Dr. Pugh!

Though this was the hardest thing I think I ever had to go through, Dr. Pugh was absolutely amazing. She brought as much comfort and reassurance as humanly possible. I know that my sweet boy was much happier leaving this world in the comfort of his own home. I’m glad I chose Dr. Pugh.

Truly was our patron saint during a difficult and emotional process. She exudes kindness, sincerity and gentleness. Her guidance through the process was critical to us and our beloved Tess. We can not be thankful enough to her.

Dr Kristina Pugh was a very compassionate caring person at this difficult time. She was professional while also helping us cope with the loss of Benny. Once again thank you so much for what you did for us and I would recommend her to anyone who is in this difficult time of need.

Dr. Pugh was absolutely amazing during our very devastating time. She handled our boy with such care and took the proper action to ensure he was comfortable and not suffering. Dr. Pugh's compassion and empathy during the whole process and even thereafter was unprecedented. We are thankful everyday that she was our vet and helped make the most difficult moment in our lives bearable.

After an amazing 14 year journey with the kindest German Shepherd that ever lived, we made the impossible decision to allow Jakob to continue his journey without us. Contacting Dr. Pugh and scheduling an in home pet euthanasia was a monumental decision in our lives with Jakob. Thank you Dr. Pugh. You made our heartbreak a wee bit better. He was indeed a Good Boy.
