Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

When I was doing volunteer work in shelters, I once saw kittens die because they were too young to be on their own. There weren't enough resources to help them at such a young age, and I wasn't in a position to offer help or end their suffering. I wanted to be in a place where I could make a difference for the vulnerable. Now, I want to provide in-home euthanasia because it's a conclusion and a peaceful ending, and because there's a need for it where I live. In-home euthanasia gives pets a comfortable conclusion and offers their owners closure.

Dr. Katie Elder, is so wonderful. She helped me through on of the hardest times, with in home euthanasia for our cat. She also is our dogs primary care. I was relieved to see she would be the person coming to my home to help us cross the cat over the rainbow bridge, I knew from my experience with her it would be easier. But I was blown away with her bed side manor, and she really made me feel at peace with our decision. She really was our guardian angel.
