Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I became a veterinarian because I believe it is our responsibility as humans to care for animals who don't have a voice or much of a choice in their lives. Whether it's a wild animal, a farm animal, or a pet, we humans impact their environment and what happens to them. My mission is to make every animal I care for feel loved and safe in any situation. Throughout my career, I have had to euthanize many animals, which is never an easy thing to do. During this difficult task, I have developed a way to focus all my love and attention on the life of the animal, not the euthanasia. So that in this challenging situation, the animal feels safe and loved during this peaceful passing, and the owners feel at peace with the decision that has been made.

What pet parents are saying
We are absolutely so grateful for the peaceful passing of our beloved Katie. Dr. Mitchell was amazing. She led us through every aspect of the procedure, we felt so comfortable with her. Thank you so much for your caring spirit!!
Dr. Mitchell was compassionate and professional while guiding us through the process of helping our dog cross the rainbow bridge. Our beloved dog lived to be 17 years old.
Dr. Cara was incredibly compassionate, professional, and caring! She cried with us, prayed with us and thoroughly explained everything to us! What a fabulous job she did at a time when we really needed her.
I highly recommend Dr. Cara Mitchel for home visits. It was time for my sweet boy, Eli, to go and I couldn’t bear taking him to the veterinary hospital. This way and the under loving care and expertise of Dr. Cara, Eli passed in peace in his home with all of his loved ones. Thank you and bless you, Dr. Cara Mitchell. Debbie DeCosta
Dr. Mitchell came to our home and provided us all the time we needed to say goodbye. We had to change our appt and she was able to accommodate us. Our dogs passing was in our bed where she had spent so much time. We are grateful we could do this at home.
Cara was amazing! She was compassionate, gentle . loving and we didnt feel rushed during this experience! We felt so blessed to have her as part of this experience- even though it was sad, her calm assurance made us feel that this was the right decision. We were so thankful that we found such a loving individual to help us usher Ranger to his peaceful resting place.
