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 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 very personable, caring, and empathetic when we made the decision to let our sweet fur baby pass away. Very kind and thoughtful through out the process. I would recommend her to anyone who wants their pet at home when the time comes to send them over the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈

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.

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.
