Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I have always had deep respect and reverence for all species. Aligning my career with my purpose has been a lifelong journey. After college, I explored the human-only social services field. After doing some deep-purpose work, I became clear that veterinary medicine would be my path for service work. It is an honor to support families and their beloved animals during the end-of-life process.

What pet parents are saying

She spent time w/ Cooper, talking to him, petting him, etc. to try to make him feel relaxed around her. She was very patient and did not rush anything.

Dr Parks was compassionate and caring with our dog Lola. Nobody wants to make this choice for their pet but when Dr Parks came to our door we were relieved to have her there. She was sensitive to Lola’s needs and our needs, as well. It was a beautifully, peaceful experience.

Elizabeth did a truly amazing job of walking us through the process before and then allowing us to pace the process as it went. I am not sure it could be done any better. If I could leave 10 stars I would .

Dr. Parks took great care to let me know each step in the process. She wanted Romulus to feel comfortable with her..Romulus seldom came out with even members of my family. But Dr. Parks is a "cat whisperer." With a soft voice and calm demeanor she had Romulus on his back. As she was gently rubbing his tummy he was purring and making " biscuits ". When I said it was time for the final injection Romulus passed quickly. She went outside for several minutes so my son and I could say goodbye. When Dr.Parks came back in she had a soft flannel covered cat bed. Gently she put him in the center and coverd him up to his chin with another blanket. Romulus looked so peaceful like a baby put to bed. I think that touched me the most. Dr.Parks treated my fur baby with respect and caring. I would highly recommend at home euthanasia.,I would also request Dr Parks to perform this procedure. Not only did she relieve Romulus from his pain, she comforted me in my grief.

Better than I could have imagined!IM SO grateful we could give our old lady a wonderful goodbye in front of the fireplace in her bed.Very discreet hiding behind corners so our cat wasn't curious about the new person or weird smeeling stuff. She even sang along to our goodbye playlist...so sweet and respectful of time needed to go through goodbyes. Thank you so very very much!
