Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I became a veterinarian due to my love of animals, science and medicine. I work in a busy, private practice specialty hospital and function as Department Head of the Critical Care unit. My current job includes both hospice care and euthanasia, and now I strive to provide this service to pets and families in their home.

What pet parents are saying

Words cannot describe how comforting and kind Dr. Becca and her assistant Morgan were during the process. However I will do my best. My family's situation with our family dog was difficult which led us to the deciding to let him rest. He had grown very old, sick, and was in poor condition. It was embarrassing. I explained the situation to Dr. Becca, asking to please do not judge us and our dogs state. Her communication and assurance that she held no judgement made the experience less painful. We were her last appointment during the night, but she and Morgan showed up with positive and compassionate energy. Holding such soothing demeanor, they conversed with us, explained each step, and kept strong composure as we grieved his last breath. They took him away with such consideration, it made my family and I feeling light knowing we did the right thing and that he is in good hands with them. Then their visit to bring our dog back to us was endearing as they brought flowers, a written card, his paw print, and his ashes. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Dr. Becca and Morgan! The experience would have been unbearable without you.

Dr. Becca was exactly who my family needed when it came time to say goodbye to our sweet rescue boy. Because our pup was particular with who he allowed near him, we needed someone with very calm and gentle energy and Dr. Becca was very much that person. Having to say goodbye is always hard, but Dr. Becca and her assistant made an excruciating time, less so. My family highly recommends Dr. Becca when your family decides the time has come.

Dr Rebecca Walton went above and beyond my expectations of what it would be like to put my dog down, from the start she was so compassionate, caring, sympathetic, knowledgeable and understanding. The whole experience left me speechless at how peaceful it was. I am so grateful I was led to her on that most difficult day, I couldn’t have hand picked a better vet to do the hard job if I tried. The delivery of my dog’s ashes was equally as beautiful and meaningful. Forever grateful.

Review by Dr. Rebecca Walton

Dr. Becca and her assistant Morgan were so kind and professional. This was the 1st time we helped a pet cross the rainbow so we didn't know what to expect but really needed to help our dog ease his way. Dr. Becca explained the process in a kind and gentle manner, it helped to feel their experienced knowledge. They addressed our dog in a personal manner and noted his cute special features, it was like talking to another pet owner. We were able to share anecdotes of our dog which made it feel like we were celebrating his beautiful life. They gave us plenty of private time to be with him before he was eased through the process. I felt like our dog was in the best hands when Dr. Becca swaddled our dog in a blanket and carried him away for cremation. After a beautiful life with us, Dr. Becca & Morgan's kindness and experience helped our 15+ yr. old dog Jimmy's life come in full circle. They came back in a week with the beautiful urn we chose with Jimmy's name engraved on it, and the paw print that was unexpectedly meaningful to me. They were so kind to bring flowers to honor Jimmy and saved us locks of his fur that I requested, after forgetting to clip some myself. I highly recommend Dr. Becca and Morgan to anyone in this difficult time. I am so grateful and feel at ease for how Jimmy crossed his rainbow. Thank You.

Rebecca was so wonderful and so genuine. I really appreciated her and she made the experience the best it could be. She was very communicative and patient. And she gave me a big hug at the end! That was so nice and unexpected.
