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

Sara was calm, kind, and attentive to our grief. I'm so glad I decided to go with in-home and Sara was a big part of being happy with that decision.

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

I had to make the painful decision of putting my dog, Luna, down, and wanted to do it at home. Not only was the price fair, but Dr. Gardhouse was amazing. She came earlier than the scheduled arrival time, had a very calm and caring demeanor, and answered all questions. She worked at my pace and enjoyed watching us give my girl a last meal of chicken nuggets, popcorn, and chocolate chips cookies. This decision was not easy, but Dr. Gardhouse was the perfect provider to use. She took great care of my girl and even sent a follow up card in the mail sending her regards. Could not recommend her enough, there’s a special place for humans like her that do this work?

I could not have asked for a more companssionate visit to help my precious pup transition. Dr Sara Gardhouse was the kindest, most gentle soul. Thank you for your help with this painful process, you made it so much more bearable.

A very wonderful caring , warm and compassionate Dr Sara Gardhouse was the right person in my life to take care of my needs when it came to the final day of Rex’s life here on earth. She was accommodating to where I wanted. Rex euthanized . That to me was the greatest gift of all. Even though it rained all day, we went forward, so Rex wouldn’t suffer anymore. She answered questions I had after the procedure, when I was overwhelmed with heartbreak and grief, stating she was there for me if I needed. Dr. Sara Gardhouse, I can’t say enough how grateful I had her by our side, it was comforting. I would recommend her to anyone that needs in-home or out of home euthanasia. You’re in the best care with this great doctor.. thank you Leia Hanson

Dr. Sara was very kind and compassionate with helping us do what was best for Arizona after 14 wonderful years. Having her come to our home to euthanize Arizona was a great relief for our dog and us. I can't say enough about Dr. Sara and would recommend her should the need arise.
