Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Being a vet was a childhood dream that started when I was about 4 years old. I started to develop a strong interest in senior pets and end of life care during vet school. I loved the human animal bond and felt so much reward from being able to walk with owners through their pet's later stages of life. I grew up with a little Westie named Maxie. She was my constant companion through grade school and started living with me when I went to vet school. I was her sole caregiver during her "senior years" until I made the decision to say goodbye to her when she was 17 years old. I was a vet at the time and had the gift of having my colleague being able to come to my home. I said goodbye to Maxie surrounded by friends in the comfort of our home. I wish everyone had the opportunity to say goodbye to their furry family members where so many of their memories are made and where they feel most comfortable.

5.0 Nov 13 2024 by Debra R.Kirsten was so wonderful with us during this tragic situation. She checked our sweet girl to ensure we were making the right decision and gave us peace that we had done everything possible to save our sweet girl! Thank you for your patience and caring during this difficult time.
5.0 Nov 06 2024 by Brian H.We've euthanized our pets in the vets office and it wasn't pleasant. Saying goodbye to your furry babies at home makes the process easier. Our other dogs were able to also say goodbye and witness our boys passing. It is a great service and Dr. Stukey was very compassionate.
5.0 Nov 05 2024 by Elissa P.Very kind and empathetic. Answers questions and has a warm personality and tone of voice. She also did the cutest set up of my cat bundled up after when I wasn't sure if I wanted to look or not and I'm glad I did, she looked peaceful and like herself
