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

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.

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.

Dr Hamid was an angel sent to Holly and I when we really needed one. She assisted Holly on her way back to her spiritual home with such grace, compassion, and love. Thank you so much Dr Hamid
