Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I believe precious memories with your pet should never be overshadowed by a stressful goodbye. I have firsthand experience with the stress of saying goodbye to my first dog, Willy, at the clinic, and since then being able to say goodbye to two other dogs at home. This is why a peaceful passing at home is so important to me.

What pet parents are saying

Dr Gary was amazing during a very sad time for us. He was compassionate and caring. He gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye to our Sniper. I would highly recommend using Dr Gary if you are having to say goodbye to your pet.

I cannot thank Dr. Gary Hsia enough for the compassion and care he showed during one of the hardest days of my life. When it was time to say goodbye to my beloved Darla, Dr. Hsia provided an at-home experience that was gentle, peaceful, and dignified. He walked us through every step with patience and empathy, ensuring Darla was comfortable and surrounded by love in her final moments. The ability to say goodbye at home made such a difference—it felt calm, private, and full of care instead of clinical and rushed. Dr. Hsia’s professionalism and genuine kindness gave me comfort and peace during such a heartbreaking time. I am forever grateful for the way he handled this experience and would wholeheartedly recommend him to any pet parent seeking a compassionate option for end-of-life care.

Review by Dr. Gary Hsia

Dr. Hsia was absolutely amazing. He was empathetic and so understanding during the whole process. He gave us all the time we needed and wanted. I was able to take nose and paw prints and he was just so communicative and caring. Literally exceeded our expectations and then some. I am so grateful for Dr. Hsia and being able to share those final loving moments with our Biscuit. Can’t thank you enough.
