Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
From a young age, I have felt a deep connection to animals and a strong desire to support them through every stage of their lives. My decision to provide in-home humane euthanasia services stems from this passion, as well as my commitment to ensuring pets experience a peaceful passing in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by their loved ones. This approach honors the bond we share with our pets and offers families a compassionate and serene way to say goodbye.

What pet parents are saying
I really can't express how grateful I am to Dr. Hundley for walking with us through this heart breaking time and I can't think of how we could have given our Jenny a better goodbye.
We had the unfortunate event of a cat with a deteriorating health condition. We made the extremely difficult decision to have an at home euthanasia, where she would be warm, comfortable, and surrounded by the ones she loved. Danielle was so sweet, loving, and understanding for the whole process. Danielle allowed us to say goodbye and made sure she was super comfortable. Our little baby passed away with no complications. It hurts, but we know we made the right decision and are grateful Danielle gave us this.
Dr. Hundley was very compassionate and supportive. We were glad that Sully was able to be at home in a comfortable and familiar space surrounded by those who loved him. We were very emotional but we knew it was the right thing to do. Dr.Hundley talked to us and Sully as he was crossing the rainbow bridge. She explained everything ahead of time and gave us time to make our own decision. She thought to ask if he had a favorite toy that he could take with him (which happened to be a tissue box - he is a boxer) and we sent him with his new blanket. She discussed private and group cremation, getting a paw print, clay print, or a Styrofoam print, and she thought to clip some of his soft fur from different spots with his different colors. I would highly recommend this service and Dr. Hundley for anyone who has to face this difficult decision.
Dr. Danielle Hundley helped us say goodbye to our beloved cat at home, and I truly can’t recommend her enough. She was incredibly compassionate, gentle, and respectful throughout the entire process. Her calm presence made a heartbreaking day a little more bearable. We are so grateful for her care and kindness.
Highly recommend this option for pet lovers when the difficult time comes. Dr. Hundley was compassionate, clear, timely, and answered any questions that our family had.
Dr. Hundley is an angel. She came to our home for an urgent situation after our elderly greyhound suffered a broken leg. She was compassionate and caring and provided him (and us) with comfort in his last moments.
