Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I have loved animals from the time I can remember and pursuing veterinary medicine meant that I got to spend every day with the animals I love and helping them from all avenues. In my many years as a veterinarian, I deeply understand the challenges of treating critically ill patients and the nuances of end-of-life care. I am honored to help pets pass away peacefully in the comfort of their home and with their loving family at their side.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Gardhouse was so patient and caring. She explained what was going to happen and allowed us to process as much as we needed. When we were ready, she was so sweet and tender. We felt very taken care of as we said goodbye to our beloved kitty. Thank you for helping us through this very difficult time with so much grace and compassion.

Dr. Sarah gave us pre-visit medicine to help my anxious dog the night before he crossed the rainbow bridge. Very compassionate and calming.

Sara came to our house to help us send our 17yo girl Poppi to the bridge. She was very kind, compassionate, and did everything she could to make sure we were comfortable with the process. We could tell that she really cared about us and Poppi, even though she had just met her. Sara made sure Poppi was comfortable and then made sure we were ready to let her go to the bridge. While this will always be the worst day for any pet parent, Sara made this day a lot easier with her kindness and care toward Poppi and us. Thank you for making this day just a bit easier. We do appreciate everything you did. Cat Raley

Dr. Sara was kind and compassionate during one of the most difficult moments for a pet owner. She allowed us to move along at our own pace during our dog Jack's crossing over the rainbow bridge, and let us take as much time as needed for each stage of the process. I highly recommend her as a vet for anyone that is facing this difficult time.

Dr. Sara Gardhouse was so caring and compassionate during our in home pet euthanasia. Though an emotional time, she made a peaceful transition for my 14 year old dog. I would highly recommend her.
