Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

Ive always been an animal lover growing up, and though I have worked a variety of careers, I always ended up back with animals. I worked in clinical practice and enjoyed spending time with my clients, holding their hands as we talked through different disease outcomes and treatment plans, and, eventually crying with them during their last visit as they said goodbye to their pet. I wanted to provide in-home euthanasia so that people could spend the time saying goodbye at their own pace.

What pet parents are saying

I am so grateful for Dr Lauren Frary, the service she offers in being able to keep our beloved animals at home during such a hard yet compassionate transition is such a gift. She holds the space with such compassion and calm. Dr Lauren explains everything, allows as much time is need to say good bye. The care and tenderness she gave to me and my family as well as our sweet Jasper created, while painful, beautiful experience.

Dr. Frary was outstanding. She was very compassionate throughout the while process and very kind. She explained everything very well and let us take our time. We have never done an in home euthanasia but after doing this, it will be the only way I so it from now on. Loosing a pet is always the hardest thing ever and to make it a little better for them on the last day was the best thing I could have ever done. Thank you for taking the time to let us do this peacefully at home.

Review by Dr. Lauren Frary

Lauren (Dr. Frary) was amazing. This was our first time going through this and it was extremely difficult and emotional for our family. We weren't sure at first if this was the best option for our cat, but Lauren looked him over and considered his history and made an objective, professional assessment that this was a good option for him, but never pressured us one way or another. I was so impressed with Lauren's softness, kindness, and understanding of all of our concerns and answered all of our questions. And she was so conscientious and considerate of our pain. From the exact words she used to her gentle mannerisms to the beautiful basket and blanket she brought to take care of our boy, her consideration and kindness and how she did nothing to rush us nor pressure us means that I have been recommending her to anyone with an interest in this service. It costs a bit, but letting our boy go in the kindest, most humane, loving, and gentle way was worth every penny.

Choosing to have your pet euthanized is a difficult experience, but we knew it was time for our cat as he had been struggling with the effects of HCM for weeks. We chose in-home pet euthanasia because Scout always hated being taken to the vet and we didn't want to cause further stress in his final hours. Fortunately Dr. Lauren Frary was near where we live and I had read great reviews about her work. I just want to add that they were all warranted. Dr. Frary was kind and engaged both with us and Scout. The process was explained in detail and we had plenty of time to say our goodbyes. The procedure went smoothly and peacefully. We're so glad we chose Dr. Frary for this difficult choice--she made it a much more pleasant experience.

Dr. Frary was wonderful. She thoughtfully explained the procedure and what to expect. She was so respectful and made our 16 year old mini schnauzer so perfectly comfortable. It was the most peaceful process we’ve experienced. Thank you so much Dr. Frary. Worth every penny.

Dr. Lauren Frary was so very compassionate and took all the time we needed to to say goodbye to our beloved , loyal and best friend, our golden retriever Bear. We will never not use in home euthanasia for our other dogs if it’s needed. She made Bear feel so calm. It’s the hardest thing to know when to say goodbye, but she made it bearable for us. We miss him terribly, but we know it was the right thing to do, and especially the right place to say goodbye instead of having him so anxious and scared in a vets office. We highly recommend Dr. Lauren Thank you so much for making this time bearable.
