Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I became a vet because of my love for people; by caring and attending for pets, I am directly influencing that person's well-being. I started performing in-home euthanasia during the Pandemic as a way to extend veterinary reach to individuals and their pets that may not have had another option. Providing in- home-euthanasia for families who wish to keep their furry household member calm and at ease during their final moments is another way that I can support families during a difficult and intimate time.

5.0 Mar 21 2025 by Owen R.She did an excellent job and was very professional and calming throughout. She made sad last moments with our beloved dog easier. Our dog was comforted and did not experience discomfort. Highly recommend.
5.0 Mar 04 2025 by Nicole G.Very patient, kind and understanding. She explains the process well. She came to my home earlier than the appointment because she cares immensely. She wanted to make sure our boys last moments were peaceful.
5.0 Jan 18 2025 by Donna B.It was very hard to lose my beautiful Medusa but she went very peacefully. Dr. Cherissa was very soft spoken and explained every step in great detail. This procedure was done at home which is why my Dusa didn't suffer.
