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 so kind and caring with my Charlie. She took her time to explain everything and to make sure I was comfortable with what was happening and that Charlie’s passing was peaceful and painless. I couldn’t have asked for better care anywhere and the fact that she came to our home so I didn’t have to put the stress and pain of a car ride on my 18 year old baby meant the would to me.
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.
Dr. Mays somehow turned one of the toughest moments for a pet parent into a very comfortable, meaningful experience. I cannot recommend her more to someone having to make this decision for your fur baby.
Dr. Mays was outstanding, not only in her professional capacity, but also in her compassion & kind-heartedness toward our sweet Mercy and with us. I cannot thank her enough for being there for us.
