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.

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

Kristina was patient, kind, and compassionate. All traits you hope for when experiencing the heartbreak of losing a beloved pet. Thank you for helping our baby girl cross over in a calm and pain free way.

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.

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.
