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.
