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.

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.

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.

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 Kristina was amazing with every step. She was kind beyond words to myself , family and I include my dog as family. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do and she was so helpful and understanding of every moment . I couldn’t have asked for a better Dr to help during this.

Review by Dr. Kristina Pugh

Dr. Kristina was absolutely incredible. We needed to say goodbye to our handsome boy of 18 years, and it was honestly the hardest day of my life. We wanted to do it at home to make things easy on him and us. Dr. Kristina was compassionate, caring, and handled our cat's needs as though he were her own. Her bedside was amazing, and she explained every step of the way to us so we knew what to expect and how he would be feeling. She even gave us time to let the other 2 cats say goodbye. Well worth every penny for the visit, she is an incredible vet and human <3
