Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

My enduring passion for veterinary medicine traces its roots back to my earliest memories of being surrounded by animals. From a young age, it was clear to me that I wanted to dedicate my life to caring for these incredible beings. My career aspirations have taken various forms over the years, from envisioning myself as an animal trainer for movies or captivating audiences at Sea World to picturing a future as a ranch owner tending to a diverse array of animals. However, beneath these varied dreams, the unchanging core has always been the desire to become a veterinarian. What propels my aspiration in the field of veterinary medicine even further is my desire to practice In-Home Euthanasia (IHE). This passion has been amplified by my firsthand experiences of the profound positive effects animals can have on human well-being, some experiences I've gained primarily through my involvement with Aggieland Pets with a Purpose (APWAP). These organizations have shown me the immense power of the human-animal bond, and they've underscored my dedication to preserving and enhancing this bond. I offer in-home euthanasia services as a compassionate way to honor the strong connections people share with their pets during one of life's most challenging transitions. This is a meaningful path that allows me to not only ensure the health of animals but also to support and educate owners about the sensitive and emotional aspects of saying goodbye to their beloved companions.

Getting to spend my baby’s last moments with her at home, on the bed, all cozy, is something I’ll treasure forever. Dr. Pruett was so kind and thoughtful, we are lucky to have this service in town.

Dr. Pruett was excellent. It was our first at home euthanasia and she really made us feel better about making this decision. She was prompt, very understanding, and explained the process to us. It was incredibly hard losing our dog but ultimately this was the perfect way for us to do it. Thank you so much.

Alex was wonderful with Levi. He was our boy for 13 years and it was VERY hard to let him go. She did a great job of talking us through the process, She took her time and gave us plenty of time to grieve. She handled the sedation process flawlessly. You could tell she cared about Levi as well as us. We would highly recommend her for this very difficult process.

Review by Dr. Alex Pruett

In such an emotional and difficult time, Dr Pruett was perfect in her demeanor, giving us information about the process, making my wife and I and Siobhan comfortable for the process, and quietly performing the process, and helping Siobhan to a calm, quiet transition. After Siobhan’s passing, Dr Pruett's help was greatly comforting and the "paw prints" memorial was a blessed keepsake.
