Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

After over 30 years of emergency veterinary medicine, I feel it is time for me to transition to another phase of pet care giving. Being able to humanely and lovingly let go of a beloved pet, when it is their time, especially in their home, is a gift.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Le Blanc helped us get through a very hard experience with our cat. She was empathetic and took the time to explain every step. I really appreciate her. She was also patient with me and understanding as I had reservations leading up to the appointment. We’re very sad but we are also grateful to have our boy pass away peacefully in our arms at home. Thank you Dr. Le Blanc

Dr. Le Blanc is a compassionate veterinarian who made the whole experience go smoothly and meaningfully for us. I would recommend her to anyone making the decision to say goodbye to their pet, she obviously cares about what she does.

We are very grateful for Dr. April and her kindness through this difficult process. Our beloved cat passed in her favorite chair in the sun. Dr. April talked us through the process with empathy and understanding.

Review by Dr. April Le Blanc

Dr. April was wonderful. She was kind, empathetic, and patient. She listened to my daughter and me talk about our memories with Emerson. She cried with us. She fully explained the process and assured us that we were giving Emerson peace and freedom from pain. She helped us save memories with locks of Emerson’s fur and paw prints. She made sure that Emerson left with dignity, carrying him gently in a comfortable bed. She helped make this most difficult time meaningful.

Dr April was the perfect person to guide our family through saying goodbye to our beloved dog. We could not have been more satisfied with April's compassionate care in our home. Highly recommend Dr. LeBlanc.

Review by Dr. April Le Blanc

Dr. April was an amazing support during this time. I feel so fortunate that she was able to be with us as she had such empathy for what I was feeling and was comforting and reassuring that this was the best decision. She let us take the time we needed. It was awful saying goodbye but she is a very kind soul.
