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 was very kind and caring and immediately had a connection with our dog. She was responsive and communicated with us days ahead of our appointment. While in our home she thoroughly explained everything to us and answered all questions. Her love for animals and people is evident. Our dog was relaxed and passed peacefully. We were pleased she was there for us during a difficult time.

Dr. April immediately felt like part of the family. She was there to share wisdom, cry with me and was extremely professional. Thank you for making one of the hardest days that much brighter. I highly recommend her.
