Verified Veterinarian
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.

Dr. Hamid was an extremely compassionate person. We were able to say our final goodbye’s at home in a very peaceful manner. Dr. Hamid answered all of our questions and allowed us to share our last minutes as a family. We’ll miss our baby girl and Dr. Hamid was the angel sent to take her home. Thank you for the love and comfort in such a sad time…
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.
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.
It was very hard to lose my beautiful Medusa but she went very peacefully. Dr. Cherissa was very soft spoken and explained every step in great detail. This procedure was done at home which is why my Dusa didn't suffer.
This was our first experience with at home pet euthanasia and we are so happy that it was recommended to us. Our sweet boy Kuma, became terrified of the vet in his later years but this option enabled him to be totally at ease for the whole process. As heartbreaking as it is to lose him we are so grateful we could offer him the comfort of his favorite spot in the yard surrounded by all his familiar smells and people. Dr. Abdul was wonderful and understanding in every way, we were glad to have her help through this process.
Very patient, kind and understanding. Dr. Cherissa Abdul Hamid 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.
