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. 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 wonderful. She was very caring and sympathetic. She treated our beautiful fur baby with love and was thorough in explaining each step of the euthanization process. Stellar service.

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.
