Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I have wanted to be a veterinarian since I was a little kid. I loved helping animals, and as I grew older, I also learned that I loved helping owners better understand and care for their own fur babies. I enjoy all aspects of veterinary medicine, and while working in brick-and-mortar practices was fulfilling, I also could tell that there was something missing. I started an in-home euthanasia business in 2019 because I could see the need for an option for more personalized, compassionate, and comfortable experience for animals at the end of their lives. Euthanasia is the kindest final gift we can give the animals that have given us so much, and it is genuinely an honor to help these furry family members feel as safe and pain free as possible while they pass into a peaceful death. On a more personal note, I want to emphasize that I know exactly how hard the choice to euthanize is. I have had to make that decision more often than I would like for my own beloved pets, and each time it is heartbreaking. The last thing anyone needs when traveling this difficult path is pressure or judgement from a veterinarian. I want to be a partner in helping you decide what is right for your family, and know that I will do everything I can to take the sting out of death for both you and your fur baby.

What pet parents are saying
We struggled with the decision to end our beloved Layla's life (of 17 years). Aside from kidney disease she "appeared" in good health though she had been suffering from dementia; she had forgotten how to play, was confused, and had been having many toileting accidents. It was tremendously helpful when we first spoke with Dr. Crozier on the phone. She addressed our worries around the decision explained her process of euthanasia. This gave us clarity and confidence that this was the right time. On the appointed day Dr. Crozier was incredibly supportive. While we were terribly sad to say goodbye to "our girl" the process was very respectful and peaceful. Dr. Crozier was a godsend at this difficult time in our lives.
Oh my gosh, this is Been such a difficult time losing our beloved Mr Jude. Dr Sarah Crozier was so caring and supportive. She is a patient and kind person. Though were hoping we wouldn't have to do this, I'm so grateful that we found her and were able to allow him to have a very peaceful loving final moment in his home.
Dr. Crozier was amazing. She helped us get thru a really hard day. She took the time to not only get to know Georgia but our family as well. She was so kind and patient . She talked us thru every step. Most importantly, Georgia was never scared. That all I wanted was for her to not be pain or know what was going on. Georgia just drifted off to sleep peacefully. I highly recommend Dr Crozier if you have to make the hard decision to euthanize
Dr. Croizer was so kind and gentle during the whole process. While one no wants to go through this sad process, it was much easier having Dr. Croizer there, making Jake comfortable, talking with me about Jake and his life while he passed.
She was so thoughtful and took her time to make sure that everyone was comfortable, especially Tucker. It was one of the most peaceful euthanasias I've ever been part of
Dr. Sarah Crozier was absolutely incredible. My pup had terminal mammary cancer and had stopped being able to sit or lay down for comfort, and I made the terribly difficult decision to put her down. Dr. Crozier called me before my appointment date to get an understanding of my dog, and gave me time to ask any questions or air any concerns. When she arrived for our appointment time, she had a calm kind presence, and my pup immediately trusted her. She was so very kind through the whole process, moving at a pace I was comfortable with, and being so kind and friendly to my pup. She even had my sweet girl excited and happy for the treats her sedatives were hidden in. She asked questions about who my dog was and some of our very best memories, and she allowed me the honor of my dog passing peacefully in my lap, knowing she was loved and never knowing anything was wrong. She allowed me to assist in cleaning her up before leaving with her, and let me take all the time I needed saying goodbye. Losing my dog was more difficult than I could explain, but having Dr. Crozier to make the experience so gentle on my pup and I meant the world to me. She afforded us a beautiful last few minutes together, and made a horrible event so much better with her kindness, knowledge, and heart. Hugely and forever thankful for Dr. Crozier and her work.
