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 with in-home euthanasia services.

What pet parents are saying

Dr Kristina was empathic, kind and compassionate. Dr Kristina also took her time, answered questions and made this painful experience more bearable. As a result we feel more at peace.

Dr Pugh was very thoughtful and professional for every step. This was my first experience with in-home euthanasia for a pet. I highly recommend it. This was much better than a potentially stressful trip for the animal's final moments.

Review by Dr. Kristina Pugh

Dr. Pugh was so compassionate and kind. She hugged our dog Sammy as if he was her own. If he had any idea she was a vet, he would have been extremely anxious. Instead, he thought she was an instant friend. She explained every step to us and treated Sammy with such care. We cannot thank her enough for helping us during such a difficult time.

Dr. Pugh is one of the most compassionate people I have met in a long time. She guided me through the process with kid gloves. I couldn’t have had a better experience in such a very difficult and heartbreaking situation.

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.
