Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
When I was in high school, I was required to perform mandatory service hours. I started volunteering at a local stable and took care of all the horses, led trail rides, farm tours, etc. I decided I wanted to be able to give back to these animals that help us every day. I majored in Animal Sciences while in undergrad and then worked as a small animal surgery and anesthesia technician while awaiting my vet school acceptance. Originally, I went to veterinary school to specialize in equine sports medicine and radiology and I even completed an equine internship post-graduation. However, while I will still continue to work on horses, I would like to be able to give back to the community. Six months before starting vet school, I had to put down my beloved family rescue dog that I had for 10 years. She was terrified of everyone besides my mom and I, and she hated being in a vet office. Having to put her to sleep in a strange room surrounded by strange people was horrible. I would like to offer my services in order to help your furry friend cross the rainbow bridge in their own safe space, surrounded by the people they love.

What pet parents are saying
I’m grateful Dr Michelli was an able to accommodate us on such short notice so that our old boy could has a peaceful passing at home. Dr Michelli was so caring and comforting during this hard time. Thank you again.
Dr Michelli made the whole process of taking care of my 22 YO kitty “Bunny”. As peaceful as possible. She came out at just the right time to keep my baby comfortable, as she passed over the rainbow 🌈 bridge.
Dr. Michelli was the most caring person during this difficult time. She loved on our pups, listened to all of our stories about her through the process and cried with us. It made the event easier to process through our grief. She is an amazing person to do what she does.
Dr. Nicolette Michelli truly made the difference for us. Having to say goodbye to a family member will always be heartbreaking, but the peaceful manner in which we were able to do it brought us a lot of comfort. Dr. Michelli was kind and gentle in her communications and presence. She made herself fully available before and after. Her manner made the process easy and she had great advice for how to handle our other pups saying goodbye. There were a lot of little things she did and offered that showed how considerate and caring she is of our pets and family. It really touched us that she continued to pet our Dacoda even after she passed. We were able to say goodbye as Dacoda slept in our lap, paws in the grass and sun shining on her fur. We would highly recommend if anyone is considering.
I am so glad we had Dr. Michelli out to our house during this very difficult time. She was perfect. Could not asked more from the Dr.
Dr. Michelli was a wonderful doctor who assisted us in giving a peaceful and loving goodbye to our beloved dog of 16 years, Jasmine. She responded very quickly after we booked the appointment and messaged us with all the necessary information and answered any questions we had about the procedure. When she arrived to our home, she was very quiet, respectful and understanding of our grief. She allowed us all the time we needed to compose ourselves and say our last goodbyes before we parted with our beautiful little dog. She explained all the steps and procedures very well and allowed our sweet dog to pass gently in her sleep in the comfort of our home. I cannot reccomend Dr. Michelli's services enough. She made an already painful process easy, gentle, and peaceful. We are thankful we contacted her to give our sweet Jasmine a final goodbye.
