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. 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.
We cannot thank Dr Kristina Pugh enough for the compassion and professionalism she showed during one of the hardest moments of our lives. When we had to say goodbye to our beloved Sunny, her gentle approach, genuine care and understanding made an incredibly difficult situation bearable. Dr Pugh handled everything with such kindness, explaining the whole process clearly and treating Sunny with dignity and respect. We are forever grateful for the empathy and professionalism she showed us.
We used the at home euthanasia services of Dr. Kristina Pugh for our cat Cricket. I am very thankful for the comfort she was able to provide us. The process was very smooth and professional in the comfort of our own home. Dr. Kristina provided a paw print for keepsake and helped us with after care arrangements. The peaceful, radiant vibe of Dr. Kristina is exactly what I want if I ever have to use at home euthanasia services. If the time comes when I have to do this again I will surely contact Dr. Pugh.
As difficult as this choice may be, choosing Dr Pugh to facilitate the process was easy. She came with amazing referrals and was absolutely wonderful. Everyone knows the pain, deep pain of making this decision. With Kristina leading us through the process, we were able to focus on sharing quality time with Dennis, my cat. I’ll always be grateful for that.
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.
Dr. Pugh made this event as easy as it could possibly go. She handled this with an experienced and confident demeanor, and my cat was not one to cooperate with vets. Thank you for helping us through a difficult time.
