Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

As a young girl, I knew two things for certain: I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field, and I wanted to help those who couldn’t help themselves. This guiding principle led me to veterinary medicine. Early in my career as a general practitioner in San Diego, I found myself drawn to the most vulnerable patients—those nearing the end of their lives. I began connecting deeply with families, offering a safe space to openly and honestly discuss quality of life, quality of death, grief, loss and love. When I realized that the traditional clinical setting was limiting my ability to fully support my clients and patients, I transitioned in 2020 to focus exclusively on end-of-life care. Helping families give their beloved pets the gift of a passing that is peaceful, loving and dignified has become my life’s work.

Dr Mills was wonderful and made our home euthanasia experience very calm, peaceful, and comforting. She was very sweet and attentive to Koda and he connected with her right away. Dr Mills explained the entire process and what to expect. Everything went according to plan and our dog passed peacefully in our loving arms. I highly recommend Dr Mills should you decide home euthanasia is needed for your pet.

Review by Dr. Courtney Mills

Saying goodbye to Zoey was one of the hardest things we’ve had to do, but Dr. Mills made the process as peaceful and comforting as possible. She was incredibly gentle, explained every step clearly, and never made us feel rushed. We are so grateful for her compassion and the dignity that she showed our sweet baby in her final moments.

Dr Mills was incredible. Compassionate, caring, patient, loving.... all the things you'd hope for in the situation. We've had other in-home euthanasia experiences, but this was the absolute best. We felt supported throughout, the communication was amazing. She explained the process and what she was doing when and why. I hope not to have to use her services again, but if we do, I'll be using Dr Mills. 15/5 would recommend
