Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Veterinary medicine is as much about family as it is about animals. Our pets are our mascots, our comedians, our best friends and sometimes our lifelines. It has been a privilege, as a vet, to be a part of so many lives, from newly adopted puppy, kitten, or small mammal, through the mischievous youthful years, middle age, and then the senior years. As pet parents (because I am one too), we sign up for this relationship and all the joy, comedy and surprises. In the senior years, we provide more support, but also get to enjoy a shared history and comfort that is irreplaceable. Giving our pets the dignity and comfort of a low-stress death is a gift, and you could say, a responsibility. Undoubtedly this is also the hardest part of that relationship. Having experienced profound loss in my own lifetime, I’ve learned how to look scary things in the eye and hold steady. I can support you, your family and your animal through this process and it is my honor to do so.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Duvall helped us say goodbye to our 21 year cat who was failing in health. She made a difficult time less painful by explaining the process and being patient while we said our goodbyes.
Dr. Megan Duvall was the best we could have asked for. This was such a hard decision and experience- one I have never been through. From her text the day before to her compassion and gentleness the day of and the follow up note she send us helped make this decision not as difficult. I would recommend her to all my friends and family. Thank you Megan, we truly appreciate everything you did to help us with Oliver.
Dr. Duvall was a kind support in a tough situation. We were very thankful to her for the professionalism, her care, her availability, and the graciousness she offered us through this experience. Highly recommend!
Dr. Duvall did an excellent job with our sweet dog and our family. She touched base a few days before the visit, and then explained everything well when she arrived. It was our first time using in-home pet euthanasia and I would recommend it. It’s so nice to be at home in a familiar environment for both the pet and those that loved the pet.
This very difficult decision and time was made much easier by the home visit by vet Megan Duvall. I was able to have my dog in her home where she is comfortable and at peace. Dr. Duvall was so patient and sweet with Maggie and I am thankful for that.
Dr. Duvall was so kind and caring during such a difficult time, we really appreciated it. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone one of our family and friends.
