In-Home Pet Euthanasia in New Haven, CT

Dr. Margaret “Meg” Valentino grew up on Long Island, New York, before earning her undergraduate degree from the University of Delaware and her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Minnesota. Prior to veterinary school, she proudly served with the U.S. Army Reserves Civil Affairs in Iraq and Kuwait, and afterward continued her service as a Captain in the U.S. Army Veterinary Corps as part of the Health Professions Scholarship Program. She spent a decade in Georgia, then several years back on Long Island, and now resides in Connecticut — still close enough to be near family. Drawn to both science and the quiet companionship of animals from a young age, Dr. Valentino has always believed in honoring the profound bond between pets and the people who love them. While end-of-life care is never easy, she sees in-home euthanasia as a final act of love — allowing pets to pass gently, free of pain, and wrapped in the familiarity of home and family. She is deeply committed to ensuring that each goodbye is peaceful, respectful, and reflective of a life well-loved. Outside of her veterinary work, Dr. Valentino enjoys spending time with her children — whether that’s attempting tennis, hiking, biking, or making the occasional trip into New York City to feed the pigeons in Central Park. She also loves neighborhood walks with Mr. Max, her loyal canine companion. Dr. Meg Valentino is passionate about helping families honor their pets with compassion, dignity, and heartfelt care.
