Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Our pets become our beloved family members. After helping hundreds of families through end-of-life decisions in the emergency setting, I became experienced in being able to develop relationships with owners during times of stress (often times unexpected) and grieving. It was during my time in emergency that I realized the profound impact that the hospital environment plays into the end-of-life experience for not only the families but their pets as well. As a pet parent myself, I made the decision to leave ER and transition to practicing in-home euthanasia full time in order to fulfill my passion of providing a more serene experience for both the pet and the family members.

What pet parents are saying
Two weeks ago, Dr. Poole provided in-home euthanasia for my cat, and I am deeply grateful for her care and compassion during such a difficult time. She was incredibly professional, gentle, and kind. What meant the most to me was how clearly she explained each step of the process, so I knew exactly what to expect. That gave me the time and emotional preparation I needed, and helped me feel a sense of calm despite how hard the moment was. She treated my cat with great respect and dignity, and her empathy truly made a difference. Thank you, Dr. Poole for helping Mono leave this world peacefully.

Dr Poole was empathetic, helpful and all around great. She made a very sad situation the best it could be and she was extremely detailed about the process. My puppy passed peacefully with her help.
Dr. Poole was very professional and compassionate in helping us say goodbye to our boy. Our choice for in-home euthenasia was the best one for us, especially given the often busy nature of our regular vet clinic. Her assistance and calm manner made his passing more peaceful for all of us.
When the time came to say goodbye to our beloved Jazzy, we were comforted beyond words by Dr. Poole and her gentle care. She came to our home and treated our sweet girl with such tenderness, respect, and compassion that the experience—though deeply emotional—felt peaceful and dignified. Dr. Poole took time to explain every step, making sure we felt prepared and supported. Her calm presence and empathy allowed our sweet girl to pass comfortably in familiar surroundings, surrounded by love. It was clear she truly cared, both for our pet and for us as grieving owners. We’re so grateful for the comfort she provided on one of the hardest days of our extremely difficult day. Dr. Poole's service is a gift to families facing loss, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who wants their pet’s final moments to be handled with grace and compassion.
Dr Poole was lovely, compassionate, so gentle with my old boy, and so very kind. She thoroughly explained what she would be doing and how he would react. She reassured me that it was time. It is always difficult to say goodbye to a beloved 4 legged family member. Dr Poole made the experience as soft and gentle as it could be. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of these services.
Dr. Poole was supportive and a great presence as we said goodbye to our dog. She listened to our stories about him and patiently and clearly explained each step of the process. We knew exactly what to expect and she was just a really lovely person to have there, as well as a great vet. We are very appreciative of her skills and support.
