Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I value not only the time spent with the furry members of pet families but just as much those who provide their love and care. I have recognized over my years in private practice just how important not only the first day we have with our pets is, but also the last. I desire to help make the goodbyes as comfortable and peaceful as possible.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Sarah was amazing, compassionate and very knowledgeable! She made one of the toughest days a little bit easier with her kind words and empathy towards us! She reassured us every step of the way and gave us all the time we needed with our baby before letting him cross over the rainbow bridge. I would recommend her to anyone going through the same situation and from a pet owners perspective it was a much better experience than we had when we had to put our 1st dog down at a vet's office. Thank you Dr. Sarah ❤️🐾

It was very difficult for me finally to decide that the time had come to release my sweet Loki from my life and his suffering. Having Dr. Clem euthanize him in his own home was my first experience with in-home euthanasia; however, I will never euthanize another pet in a veterinary clinic again unless the pet's condition is so dire at that moment as to give me no other choice. Dr. Clem was very calm and compassionate from the moment she arrived until the moment she left, and the whole experience for Loki (and me) was as gentle as it possibly could have been.

Our hearts were broken when our Gracie left us too soon. Gracie was so sick but managed to get up to greet Dr. Sarah Clem when she arrived to help us. Sarah just sat down immediately with Gracie to love and comfort her. Dr Clem knew exactly what to do to help little Gracie in every moment and each step of the gentle way. Her love and passion for animals is amazing and that includes her involvement with Gracie's Human's. Dr Clem is so kind and passionate. When we knew our beloved Jack Russell would not recover from her illness, Dr Clem showed such compassion during our painful decision. She communicated throughout the whole ordeal including our final goodbye. Gracie left us with such a sweet, gently and loving goodbye with the help of Dr. Clem. Sarah, Thank you.

We recently had to make the incredibly difficult decision to say goodbye to our beloved pet Nugget and I can’t express enough how grateful we are for Dr. Clem. From start to finish, she made the process as peaceful and comfortable as it could possibly be and my heart is filled with joy that we were able to do this as our last gift for my sweet girl. Dr. Clem was incredibly kind, empathetic, patient and took the time to answer all of our questions and ease our concerns. She gave us space to process the decision, but also offered guidance with such gentle understanding. The at-home euthanasia service was a blessing and really the best decision we could have made. It allowed our pet to be in their own familiar space, in her own bed, surrounded by pure love. Dr. Clem truly has a gift for this delicate work and she made a difficult day much easier to bear. If you are facing the tough choice of euthanasia for your pet, I highly recommend Dr. Clem for in home euthanasia not only for her expert care and deep empathy, but above all, her understanding of how to make such a painful experience as loving and peaceful as possible. Dr. Clem even returned my sweet Nugget in a urn, engraved with her name. I really cannot emphasize enough how much this process helped me accept Nugget’s transition home with such peace. If you are on the fence about having Dr. Clem do an in home euthanasia, this is your sign not to be! Thank you Dr. Clem and Codapet for everything. You’ve left an everlasting mark on our hearts and we will never be able to thank you enough - The Carlson’s

I would definitely recommend Dr . Sarah Clem. It was a traumatic experience for me but Dr Sarah was able to explain the process even for a short period of time. She's compassionate and caring.
