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 was a consummate professional. Her expert care was invaluable to us during Swayze’s end of life care. She was a kind and calm presence for all of us. Swayze’s appointment was so peaceful. There was no doubt that he was comfortable until the end. I cannot recommend this service more.

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 very kind and compassionate. She explained to us the process as we went, giving us time to process before proceeding. We are grateful we had her to guide us through this hard time and appreciate the care she gave our beloved Rascal.

Dr. Hamid was wonderful in my time of sadness and stress from having my 13 year old dog put down. She was very through which made this process go more smoothly. I loved my dog so very much and she was very kind and understanding.

Making the decision to end our beloved Cabbage's suffering was one of the hardest decisions we had to make as a family. She was only 6 years old and had been fighting advanced kidney disease for about 6 months. We had scheduled euthanasia with our vet for Monday morning. On Saturday, our sweet girl was in so much pain we knew that it could not wait until Monday morning. I called Coda and Dr. Hamid was able to come to our home within a few hours. Her calming presence made the experience as easy as it could be under the circumstances. I highly recommend Coda and Dr. Hamid for anyone facing the loss of a pet. Allowing Cabbage to pass peacefully at home surrounded by her family was the best decision we could have made.

Dr Hamid’s care of us, Xochi’s K9 sisters, and most importantly of Xochi was exceptional. She came to our home and spent quality time with us. She did a complete assessment of Xochi. Her advanced age and associated health challenges were just too much for our Sweet Xochi to have to endure any more. Then when we were all ready, she helped our Xochi with the most peaceful, compassionate “passing on” that I have ever witnessed (K9 or human). I am a retired nurse and lover of rescued K9’s all my life, so I have witnessed many. I felt that the hug she gave us after it was all over was truly a genuine one. In summary, Dr Hamid was an Angel of Mercy for Xochi and our family. I would highly recommend her care to everyone.
