Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I offer in-home euthanasia because it can transform a profoundly sad moment into a deeply personal and peaceful farewell. The clinical environment of a veterinary office can be overwhelming and distressing, not just for pets but for owners as well. At home, the process can be gentler and less traumatic, allowing for a more natural transition. I am dedicated to honoring the beautiful bond between pets and their owners. My ultimate goal is to allow pets to pass away in a familiar, peaceful setting that honors their dignity.

She was very flexible and was able to come to Vergils aid at earlier time than scheduled. She gave us time with our pup before she took him and was very caring. Very friendly and highly recommend her.

Angela was great. She came highly recommended by my vet. She gave great guidance beforehand. We were back and forth on whether my wife and I wanted the kids there. I understand that she runs a business but the customer service and empathy made the experience as good as it could be under the circumstances. Although it was a sad moment, she also helped in making it beautiful experience shared amongst the whole family. Thank you so much.
