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.

Very thankful to Dr. Martin, he was very patient and kind. Grateful that our sweet 12 year old pup was able to pass peacefully in the comfort of her home.

It takes a special kind of person to do this work full time and Dr. Martin easily showed he has what it takes. Even though it was a sad occasion, it was a pleasure to work with him.

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.

Dr Martin was so gentle & kind when he arrived and through out the whole process. He took one look at our senior dog and confirmed how bad he was & would progress. It was a reassuring confirmation to our decision.

I cannot express how much I appreciate the service that Dr Lane provides. For such an awful situation of having to say goodbye to a member of my family was - he brought so much comfort and clarity every step of the way. I didn't have to worry that I was taking One Two to a place that he was fearful of, that he could have everything that smelled like home near by and be comfortable in his own bed. One of the most impactful parts was being able to give my other cats the opportunity to say goodbye as well - something I had never had the opportunity to do before. Every service is so thought out - it makes it so easy to focus on what matters.

Dr. Lane Martin is exceptionally caring, sensitive, knowledgeable, professional and compassionate. Words can't truly express how special he is.  I was having trouble accepting the fact that it was time to put my soul mate dog down. Paris was over 12 years old and her sight and hearing was failing. She was incontinent, and had trouble walking, She would keep falling down due to her weight loss and therefore muscle loss. She used to love long walks now she could only take a few steps before her legs gave out and she fell. She would go up to wall and just stare at it for several minutes. She would go in a tight spot and stay there until I got her out. She was suffering both physically and mentally. As soon as Dr, Martin came in, he gently and caringly greeted Paris. He instantly noticed that she had lost a lot of weight He asked what was happening with her. He patiently listened as I explained everything that was going on. He helped me accept that the kindest thing was to give her peace and the freedom from pain. Thank you, Dr. Martin, for helping me get to the place where I know I truly put Paris first. She was able to pass with me giving her love and her favorite treats.
