Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

From my experiences in general practice hospitals, it is clear to see how so many pets get extremely anxious when visiting the vet. Vet offices do their best to provide quiet and peaceful grieving rooms for pet euthanasias, but this isn't always logistically possible in a busy practice setting. There really is no place like home for this very private and delicate family matter. Providing services in the home allows the entire family to be present, in a familiar place where everyone feels comfortable, especially the beloved pet.

Education

Undergraduate: I attended UC Davis for my Undergraduate Degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology with a minor in Animal Science

Veterinary Medicine: I attended Murdoch University in Perth, Western Australia, an AVMA accredited university with no foreign equivalency exam required to practice in North America.
