Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Veterinary medicine is as much about family as it is about animals. Our pets are our mascots, our comedians, our best friends and sometimes our lifelines. It has been a privilege, as a vet, to be a part of so many lives, from newly adopted puppy, kitten, or small mammal, through the mischievous youthful years, middle age, and then the senior years. As pet parents (because I am one too), we sign up for this relationship and all the joy, comedy and surprises. In the senior years, we provide more support, but also get to enjoy a shared history and comfort that is irreplaceable. Giving our pets the dignity and comfort of a low-stress death is a gift, and you could say, a responsibility. Undoubtedly this is also the hardest part of that relationship. Having experienced profound loss in my own lifetime, I’ve learned how to look scary things in the eye and hold steady. I can support you, your family and your animal through this process and it is my honor to do so.

What pet parents are saying
It’s the hardest decision I’ll ever have to make, and it has to be right, and it has to be perfect. Dr. Duvall was the perfect choice, and my pup’s transition could not have been any better. She was patient, thorough, and most of all, completely compassionate. I could not have thanked her enough.
Dr. Duvall brought her care and experience to help me on a very difficult day. As a retired vet tech, I have been involved in many euthanasias. For me and my boy, Dr. Duvall's combination of technique and appropriate amount of caring conversation made this the smoothest transition I have ever been involved in. I highly recommend her when it's time to consider at-home end of life services.
We were very satisfied with the services provided by Megan Duvall for our beloved cat Bella. Her knowledge and experience as veterinarian treating cats, explanation of the process and patience really helped us during this difficult time of saying goodbye. We can't say enough positive things about Megan.Highly recommend!!
Dr Megan was amazing. We loved our Bella (sweetest Pitbull ever) so much. And this was extremely difficult for us. She helped us rheougj everything and made it such a peaceful transition for Bella. We will be eternally grateful for her manner, professionalism, and sincere caring support. GID bless her.
Dr. Duvall helped us say goodbye to our 21 year cat who was failing in health. She made a difficult time less painful by explaining the process and being patient while we said our goodbyes.
Dr. Duvall did an excellent job with our sweet dog and our family. She touched base a few days before the visit, and then explained everything well when she arrived. It was our first time using in-home pet euthanasia and I would recommend it. It’s so nice to be at home in a familiar environment for both the pet and those that loved the pet.
