Verified Veterinarian
I've gravitated towards helping pet parents and their pets in their last moments. Growing up, I had many childhood pets and occasionally tended to injured wildlife. The ability to calm and comfort animals seemed to come naturally. I believe a peaceful passing is the last gift we give our pets and that it’s a gift best given at home. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and running, although my favorite time is spent together with her husband and their young children.

Thank you so much for making this traumatic experience easier. I was dreading this day, but the wonderful care from Dr. Bethany made the experience much easier. I would recommend this service to anyone going through the loss of a pet.
This was a beautiful experience that was gentle and peaceful. We are very appreciative of Dr. Hsia. She was so empathic, sincere, and kind. We felt so loved and cared for.
Dr. Hsia was not only a consummate professional, but incredibly compassionate. Obviously this situation is incredibly emotional and draining, and she was calm, patient, and honestly just a sweet presence with our family.
Dr. Hsia was wonderfully understanding and informative. I’ve never had to do anything like this before and was very anxious, but she talked me through everything and was very kind. She was also very sweet with my old man in his final moments. I really appreciate the care she put in to ensuring my old man crossed over peacefully.
Very understanding and kind words, not only for my Little Girl, but to our family members also, she made a very hard decision much easier. We will always miss our Little Girl.
Dr Bethany Hsia had a wonderful peaceful presence. She was perfect with us and our dog Koda at this difficult and sad time. We are glad Koda got to be at home in his favorite place.
