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 Gardhouse was an amazing support during the hardest time putting our cat down. She was so sincere and kind and was able to come out the same day when we needed her most. Highly recommend her if you have to go through this process.

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. Gardhouse was very kind and compassionate throughout the entire process. Nothing could have made the day easier, but Dr. Gardhouse gave us all the time that we needed and to say our goodbyes and walked us through every step. We felt relieved knowing our Uno passed surrounded at home with a big belly full of salmon, surrounded by her loved ones and without pain.

Dr. Gardhouse was the perfect person to help my buddy/best friend make his transition. She was able to create and hold loving space for our intense emotions while we had to say our final goodbyes. Everything was done in the most loving way and I could not have asked for anything more during those difficult times.

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

Dr Guardhouse was very compassionate during our appointment. Choosing to put our dog down at home was absolutely the best decision for us and our pet. Dr Gardhouse took her time to explain the process and make sure we were ready to move to the next step. Our dog's final minutes surrounded by family and getting plenty of love was the perfect way to say goodbye to our beloved pet.
