Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I believe precious memories with your pet should never be overshadowed by a stressful goodbye. I have firsthand experience with the stress of saying goodbye to my first dog, Willy, at the clinic, and since then being able to say goodbye to two other dogs at home. This is why a peaceful passing at home is so important to me.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Gary was very compassionate during this difficult time. He explained the whole process. Gave us time to say our goodbyes. Also made sure our pet did suffer during the process of putting her to sleep. Can’t say enough kind words about Dr. Gary

Very friendly. Was patient and considerate about the situation. He was very easy to talk to and answered my questions. 10/10 would recommend to anyone else needed the same service.

Dr. Gary was so kind, patient and considerate in discussing our sweet Zoey's (15 years) medical situation, answering questions and helping me to arrive at the most devastating but kindest decision for her. I am so very grateful that she was able to pass peaceably at home with me at her side. Dr. Gary also made time to hand-deliver Zoey's cremains to our family, giving us some comfort and closure. Thank you so much, Dr. Gary.

Dr. Gary is very caring and he understands the hurt we're going through. He was so gentle and sweet to our Louie and Mya. Just a truly caring Dr.

Review by Dr. Gary Hsia

Very kind, patient and knowledgeable. I like that he engaged with my dog Bella during her last hour and spoke to her making her feel happy and comfortable. He gave us as much time as we needed, reassuring that there’s no rush at all. I’d recommend this option for home euthanasia with Dr. Hsia to anyone, he made it as pleasant as possible.
