Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

What pet parents are saying

Our cat went downhill really fast from kidney failure and we wanted to help him pass away peacefully at home. We were able to get a same-day appointment with Dr. Lane Martin, scheduled online. Dr. Martin communicated with us via text so we'd know when he was arriving (he got stuck in traffic, but let us know so we had a few extra minutes with our sweet cat). At our home, Dr. Martin was compassionate and respectful, explaining the process and giving us plenty of time to say goodbye to our cat. He administered a sedative first, and we were able to hold and pet our cat as he peacefully passed away. Dr. Martin then stepped out of the room so we could take the time we needed to say goodbye. Losing a beloved pet is so hard, but I'm extremely grateful that our cat was able to pass peacefully at home. Thank you, Dr. Martin.

Dr. Martin was absolutely wonderful during one of the hardest moments of our lives. He explained the process with so much care, gave us time to say goodbye while Ruger passed, and also time afterward to just be with him. He even hand-delivered our pup’s ashes and sent the sweetest card. I will absolutely recommend Dr. Martin to anyone who has to go through this heartbreaking process—he made it as gentle and compassionate as it could possibly be.

It was really the best choice I ever made for good 'ol dog Bennie at 19.5 years old. Not only could the closest people to him be close to him in the comfort of his home, but his other fur friends could be there with him as well so they could understand why he left. It was a very peaceful passing and I couldn't thank Dr. Martin enough for his kind and passionate care for my beloved Bennie.

On our most heartbreaking day, Dr. Lane Martin was the most professional and the most empathetic vet and human. His compassion and care made it so we could focus on saying goodbye to our goodest girl. Our tessa bonita was 15 years old and with us for 14 of those. It was not a choice we wanted to make but Dr. Martin helped us understand we were doing right by our girl. So what could have been grief with guilt about making the wrong choice is regular grief with relief that it was ok to say goodbye. We are so grateful for the humanity demonstrated by Dr. Martin and that this service exists.

Losing my Yorkie baby Tank on October 23rd was the hardest thing I ever experienced. Tank was the sweetest dog we had for more than 14 years and he joined our family when he was only 8 weeks. It was a very difficult decision to schedule the appointment with Dr. Martin, and even harder to make the call at the last moment. Dr. Martin was very professional. He was patient and compassionate; explained everything in details and comforted us that we were making the right decision. Tank end up passing on his own. While Dr. Martin was examining him before the injection, Tank knew it was time for him to go. I really appreciate Dr. Martin to be there with us during this difficult time and he even personally delivered Tank (in a wooden urn) back to us one week later. Thank you so much, Dr. Martin for doing this hard job. You are helping so many pet parents...you are such a blessing to us. We also received the hand written card from him which brought us comfort. Thank you, Doctor!
