Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

From a young age I have always felt a strong connection with animals. As I progressed in school, I was fascinated and excelled in biology and science, so choosing a career in veterinary medicine was a natural choice. I believe that every animal deserves compassionate care and I strive to provide the highest standard of care to all of my patients. After years of providing emergency care for pets in Memphis, I chose to extend my practice to include in-home euthanasia. Recognizing the emotional and sensitive nature of end-of-life decisions for pets, I wanted to offer a more comfortable and familiar environment for both the animals and their owners during this difficult time. By providing in-home euthanasia, I aim to create a peaceful and compassionate atmosphere, allowing pets to be surrounded by their loved ones in the comfort of their own homes. I believe that this personalized approach not only helps ease the emotional burden for pet owners but also ensures a more peaceful transition for the pet, allowing them to say goodbye in a calm and familiar setting.

What pet parents are saying

Would greatly recommend Dr Mays for anyone with the unfortunate need of letting their pet go. Allowing our dog to remain in the comfort of our home without adding the stress and anxiety of a trip to the vets office was a true blessing. And Dr Mays was very compassionate and professional in each step of the process.

Review by Dr. Susannah Mays

Saying goodbye to my beloved pup was one of the hardest days of my life, and I will always be grateful that Dr. Susannah was there with us. She was so thoughtful and kind throughout the entire process, showing deep compassion not only for my dog but also for me. Her gentle manner and patience helped make an incredibly painful experience feel peaceful and dignified. She took the time to explain everything with care, reassured me when I needed it, and treated my pup with such respect and tenderness. I cannot thank Dr. Susannah enough for her compassion on that day.

Sr. Mays was very compassionate. She gave us time and checked with us from the first day we made the decision. We were allowed to make Straight comfortable and she was happy to answer any of our questions.

Dr. Mays was wonderful. She was sensitive and appreciated what we were going through. I even received a card from her later in the week. Although a difficult thing to decide codapet was easy to navigate. Ruth

This was our first experience with in-home euthanasia and would highly recommend it. Your fur baby is where they want to be and are surrounded with love and calm. Our Radley had gone down fast over the last month and we had an appt scheduled for a Friday morning. He woke up the Wednesday before, which happened to be New Year’s Eve, and couldn’t hardly walk. Seemed like a stroke or something of that nature. I sent a video to Dr. Mays and asked if there was any way she could come that day. She checked her schedule and worked with us so that our sweet boy didn’t have to suffer much longer. She came out early afternoon on New Year’s Eve and helped us ease our sweet Radley across the Rainbow Bridge. We are forever grateful for her professionalism, kindness and empathy.
