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.
