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. Sara was very supportive. We have lost two older dogs in less than a year. Always a difficult decision. Having this service at home was less stressful on our pets. Thank you for your support.

Dr. Sara Gardhouse came to our home on May 29th to help our sweet 16 year old boy cross over. She made sure that he was comfortable and at ease. He laid down next to her like he knew she was there to help him. She was so kind and gentle to him. She allowed us to say our goodbyes in private and when he was gone she promised us that she would take good care of him. We highly recommend Dr. Sara because of her professional qualities and love she has for our fur babies.

Dr. Gardhouse was so sympathetic and patient during the process and I would highly recommend her when having to make the hard decision to say bye to a furry family member.

Review by Dr. Sara Gardhouse

Dr. Sara recently helped us say goodbye to our sweet girl cat.  It was such a hard time for us and she was very mindful of that.  We are grateful to have done this at home and the service she provides is beyond appreciated.  The compassion and empathy she shows means a lot.  The Cremation company used was great and respectful.  She was home within 8 days.  We highly recommend this company and Dr.Sara."

She was absolutely wonderful during a very hard time. Such a painful time, that it's taken me months to be able to write this review. But she deserves it, and will be a wonderful kind choice in your time of need as she was for us.

Dr Sara helped us in dire circumstances by helping Sable start the next part of her journey. She was gentle and caring both for our comfort and to ease our big dog out of this life as painlessly as possible when there was no more hope for her recovery. We miss Sable every day! Thank you Dr Sara. /Dave and Olga
