Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I've found helping people say goodbye to their cherished pets to be one of the most gratifying and fulfilling aspects of the practice of veterinary medicine. It truly is an honor and privilege to be a part of end-of-life care for my patients.

What pet parents are saying

Dr Martin, made a very difficult decision easier. He was thoughtful, kind, empathatic and added even a little humor to our parting. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing to say goodbye to their pet.

Review by Dr. Lane Martin

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.

Review by Dr. Lane Martin

We made a very difficult decision to euthanize our sweet Shorthair Havanese dog. She was 13 years old and we had her since 7 weeks old. We decided that in home euthanasia would be the best option for our family and for Snickers. Dr. Martin brought his calm and caring presence at our agreed time. He greeted us and our Snickers with compassion and consideration for the difficult decision we made. He made us all comfortable with the decision we made and understood that Snickers was ready for that cross over to the Rainbow Bridge. We didn't feel rushed and was able to spend the last moments with her. We have another dog who is 15.5 years old and when his time comes, we hope to make a similar choice when the time is right.

It was such a difficult decision to let 16 yr old Gabriel go. But he was suffering. Now he is at peace. Dr Martin was very compassionate. The process was also calm & peaceful. Gabriel took his last breaths on my lap I am sad, but I am glad that my Gabriel is at peace & in pain no more

Dr. Lane Martin had the exact right type of personality for the service he was performing as well as being very quick and sure with the needle so my Nacho barely flinched and didn't even whine. My husband was shocked at how reasonable the bill was. I cried a lot when I realized it was time to make the appointment and doubtless will cry a bunch more but during the procedure all I felt was a sense of relief. Seeing Nacho between the sedative and the final injection just resting comfortably in his final moments meant the world to me.

Dr. Martin helped our family on one of our hardest days. We needed to book an appointment first thing in the morning and appreciated the simplicity of booking online. After we booked the appointment, it was easy to communicate with Dr. Martin, and thankfully he was able to come to our home even earlier than the scheduled time. He helped us understand what was happening with our dog, and was very kind and clear about what was going to happen when he gave our dog rest. He allowed us time to grieve and made everything a little bit easier on a terrible day. Would definitely recommend.
