Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

At 16, I started working at an animal rescue and quickly realized that my love of animals was truly a calling, but it wasn’t until later that year when I began as an assistant at the local veterinary practice that I knew where I needed to be. I never looked back! My goal is to make sure that every animal knows they are loved and cherished, and that is especially important in their twilight years. Every pet should have a warm lap, a sunny spot, and a comfortable setting in their final moments, surrounded by love and family, and I am so honored to be able to facilitate that in Hampton Roads.

What pet parents are saying

We were beyond blessed to have Dr. Erin Struble help our precious Mika transition peacefully across the rainbow bridge. I’ve had painful experiences in the past with saying goodbye to pets, and I was anxious about going through it again. Dr. Struble changed that for me. She walked us through every step with patience and clarity, making sure we understood and felt supported. She never rushed us, giving both Mika and us the time we needed. Most importantly, she ensured Mika felt no pain and left this world in the gentlest, most peaceful way imaginable. Dr. Struble’s kindness, compassion, and professionalism went beyond what I could have hoped for. She not only gave Mika dignity in her final moments but also helped heal some of the trauma I carried from previous goodbyes. That is a gift I’ll never forget. Mika crossed over so calmly, surrounded by love, and I can never thank Dr. Struble enough for the comfort she gave our family. She is truly an angel in this work, and I will recommend her to anyone who finds themselves facing this difficult time.

The service was very kind and compassionate. Dr Erin explained everything and walked us through the process step by step. She was wonderful with Felicity and she was kind with Felicity’s brothers Luke and Moe, whom she left behind. We will use the service in the future if needed.

She did a good job. Cost was high in my opinion when there were other vets on your site $100 cheaper. We just weren't able to get the appointment. We should have acted faster.

Review by Dr. Erin Struble

Dr Struble provides an invaluable service to both out pets and to us their parents. My elderly large dog was in pain from advanced old age and arthiritis. She was able to stay in her familiar home and routine, and passed away peacefully in her favorite place, with our little cat Jack faithfully at her side the entire time. Erin is a patient and compassionate doctor. She took her time and allowed the process to proceed at its natural pace and when I was ready. I have 3 other elderly pets and hope their journey allows them to have the same stress free, comforting transition when the time comes.

Review by Dr. Erin Struble

It’s such a hard decision to make when your best friend has reached the point when he is suffering more than simply struggling. Dr. Struble is extremely compassionate and patient. She made sure my old boy was comfortable and that we could have the time we needed to say goodbye. She explained the process in a kind and quiet way, completely respectful of our feelings in such a solemn moment. Thank you, Dr Struble for helping us make sure Zeus had a peaceful journey over the rainbow bridge.

Dr Erin S was amazing at the awful day we had to experience. She was very sweet and understanding. Took as long as I needed to take to say goodbye to my boy. She was a gentle soul, and I appreciate her in doing this line of work. Thank you ♡
