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.

Dr. Abdul was wonderful. She was very caring and sympathetic. She treated our beautiful fur baby with love and was thorough in explaining each step of the euthanization process. Stellar service.

Dr. Hamid was very personable, caring, and empathetic when we made the decision to let our sweet fur baby pass away. Very kind and thoughtful through out the process. I would recommend her to anyone who wants their pet at home when the time comes to send them over the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈

Dr. Hamid was a consummate professional. Her expert care was invaluable to us during Swayze’s end of life care. She was a kind and calm presence for all of us. Swayze’s appointment was so peaceful. There was no doubt that he was comfortable until the end. I cannot recommend this service more.
