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 is a wonderful doctor. She never made us feel rushed in the process of putting our beloved family dog down, and answered all of our questions so we truly understood the process and what to expect. Having her come to our home for the euthanasia was so much more peaceful than taking him to the vet, and we will always choose this option with her moving forward. Thank you Dr. Mays for everything you do, you made this decision much less stressful for us, my family truly appreciates it!

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.
