Saying goodbye to our dog Lucy was one of the hardest things we’ve ever had to face, but choosing in-home pet euthanasia was absolutely the right decision for HER (and for us) Lucy was only 7.5 years old. She lost her vision at the age of 5 and spent the last 2.5 years navigating the world in darkness. She adapted in her own way, relying on familiarity, scent, and the comfort of home. That’s why we knew we didn’t want her final moments to be in a stressful, unfamiliar environment like a veterinary office. Dr. Murray, who came to our home showed incredible compassion. He took the time to sit with us and ask about Lucy, what she loved, her personality, her routines. It didn’t feel clinical or rushed; it felt personal, respectful, and deeply human. Because Lucy was blind, she didn’t experience fear or confusion about being taken somewhere new. To her, it was simply another calm moment at home—another visitor stopping by. That gave us an incredible sense of peace. Dr. Murray patiently walked us through every step of the process, making sure we understood what was happening and what to expect. Most importantly, he gave us the time we needed to say goodbye. There was no pressure, no rushing—just quiet support during one of the most emotional moments of our lives. Lucy passed peacefully, surrounded by the people who loved her, in the place where she felt safest. We are so grateful for the empathy and professionalism shown to us and to Lucy. For anyone facing this difficult decision, I cannot recommend in-home euthanasia enough. It allowed Lucy to leave this world with dignity, comfort, and love. It gave us the chance to say goodbye in the most meaningful way possible.

Dr. Gordon performed the euthanasia for my sweet soul dog of 16 years. It was the most peaceful experience I could’ve asked for. She knew exactly what to say and created such a calm environment to spend our final moments together. I’m very grateful for her service.

Dr. Murray is one of the kindest and compassionate vets. He thinks of things I never thought of. Example, not ringing the doorbell or knocking on the door when he arrived . This was to avoid upsetting Jet. Sent a text message instead. He speaks in a calm and soft tone. He explained what to expect and kept his bag out of our sight. Jet passed peacefully in his home. Highly recommend Dr. Murray. 🌈

If we could rate Dr.Bailey 10 stars we would. Our elderly greyhound became ill on Saturday and we knew it was her time. We reached out to Dr. Bailey around 5 pm for availability and she was able to schedule for 9 am the following day. At 9 am exactly she showed up and entered our home with her supplies and plenty of dog treats. Breezy never had to leave her chair through the entire procedure. She had a comfortable and dignified final moments and went to sleep in he happy place. We have had many dogs over the years and this is the first time we've used at home services. Going forward, we will use Dr.Bailey again if possible. Sincerely, Mike and Cybele Cook

When Dr Martin arrived, my little guy Barney ran to the door to greet him like he did all guests. He even barked at him, before jumping up to him to get attention. Dr Martin greeted him back, warmly and sincerely. He was playful with Barney while explaining the process to us. Lane made a horrible no win situation more acceptable with his calm demeanor and soothing words. I can't thank Dr Martin enough for helping little Barney come to peaceful end to his life's journey.

Dr. John Murray made this bad situation as comfortable as possible - I would recommend using him if at all possible - The at home euthanasia made it easier on both my pet Tito and me.
