Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I've always had a deep love for animals and an interest in science and medicine. That combination eventually led me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. I've had the privilege of caring for many animals over the past 20 years and have built so many meaningful relationships with the people who love them. Being able to witness the human-animal bond has been the best part of my career. I feel that saying goodbye to a pet that is so loved should be as gentle and peaceful as possible, in an environment where they are comfortable.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Lutgen DeWitt was so gentle helping me through the heartbreaking process of the in-home euthanasia of my best friend cat, Tara. I suspected it was the right thing to do for Tara, and Dr. Lutgen DeWitt thoughtfully weighed-in, presented options without pressure, and let me ultimately decide it was time for me to let Tara go. She treated Tara with respect and dignity, which was so sweet to watch. I'm still so sad, but grateful that my final memory of Tara is in the home she grew up in, eating her favorite meal on her favorite plate. Also worth noting, Dr. Lutgen DeWitt communicated via text to indicate she was on the way, arrived exactly on time, and was quick, efficient, and honest explaining the process and the paperwork. This is to say that none of the business of it got in the way of the heart of the matter. I'm thankful to Dr. Lutgen DeWitt for the graceful navigation.
