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
Dr. Mays was professional and compassionate. She explained everything as we went through the process and was kind and considerate to both my sweet Pascha and me. I would not hesitate to call for her help again. She’s the best.
Dr. Susannah Mays was kind, caring and compassionate. She made us feel so comfortable with her professionalism and guidance throughout the entire process.
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.
She was so kind and gentle with our pet from start to finish. Explaining what will happen prior to, reassuring us he was not in pain and making sure King was comfortable during the process.
This service went above and beyond my expectations. From the ease of the online booking to the exceptional care my pet and I received. Dr. Mays was amazing, very caring, educational and empathetic in the most difficult time. I have no doubts I made the right decision about using this service vs taking to the vet. Additionally, the box for the ashes, the clay paw print and the imprints Dr. Mays did were perfect.
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.
