Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
There is truly no better way to honor our beloved pets last wishes than to help them pass, when its time, peacefully and painlessly in their sleep, at home. I firmly believe it, because it ia a desire we all would want when that time comes.

5.0 Jan 31 2025 by chris w.We had a very sudden decline of our beloved dog and Dr Whala was completely sympathetic and allowed us to go through the process in a very peaceful and calm manner. It's so wonderful that there are people who help us as we lose our pets in such a professional and understanding way.
5.0 Jan 31 2025 by Claudia D.Dr. Karen Whala is such a blessing to us. I was so touched on how she approached my Bella. Her presence comforted Bella which I never seen happened before because Bella was a nervous dog around people but not with Dr. Karen Whala. It was as if she knew she was there to help.She also helped us through the difficult process and made sure Bella transitioned painlessly and peacefully. Thank you Dr.Karen Whala for your professionalism, kindness and dedication to our beloved pets, our family members.
5.0 Jan 26 2025 by Jeanna S.Losing a beloved pet is never easy, but Dr Karen made this difficult situation a peaceful experience. Our sweet Roxy got to pass in the comfort of our home surrounded by her favorite human & furry family members. Dr Karen was very kind and compassionate throughout the appointment. She truly has a gift for what she does and how she does it. We can’t thank her enough. While we hope we don’t need to use this service anytime soon, we will definitely seek Dr Karen’s help the next time it is needed.
