Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I became a vet because of my love for people; by caring and attending for pets, I am directly influencing that person's well-being. I started performing in-home euthanasia during the Pandemic as a way to extend veterinary reach to individuals and their pets that may not have had another option. Providing in- home-euthanasia for families who wish to keep their furry household member calm and at ease during their final moments is another way that I can support families during a difficult and intimate time.

What pet parents are saying

Dr Hamid is an extremely kind and gracious woman. She lovingly and sensitively walked us through our goodbye to Ripley. She made a sad bittersweet event actually feel full of love. I would highly recommend her services to anyone facing a difficult goodbye to a well loved pet.

Dr. Hamid was so very respectful and caring while helping us go through a really tough time. Her gentleness was comforting and her explanations of the process were clear and helpful. She has a talent for what she does! Thank you Dr. Hamid.

Very patient, kind and understanding. She explains the process well. She came to my home earlier than the appointment because she cares immensely. She wanted to make sure our boys last moments were peaceful.

Dr Abdul was incredible. Her compassion and kindness will never be forgotten. We are very thankful to have had the option of at home euthanasia for our precious Foxy.

She did an excellent job and was very professional and calming throughout. She made sad last moments with our beloved dog easier. Our dog was comforted and did not experience discomfort. Highly recommend.
