Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I have always been extremely passionate about animals. I was fortunate to have a wonderful mentor while in middle school that showed me how great the connection between pets, owners and their veterinarian could be. I had a lot of animals growing up and have even more these days! I have always had a mobile practice and enjoyed providing veterinary services to animal owners at their home. In my experience it was always so much less stress on the animal owner and the pet themselves for the euthanasia process to be performed at home. It is something that I have done since the very beginning of my practice but now I would like to make those services available to even more people.

What pet parents are saying

This is the first time we ever had to go through this and put a pet down. It was a wonderful, comforting option having it done in our home with our fur baby in our arms. Dr. Carner was calm and explained everything to us and eased out hearts. So happy we used her during this tough time.

Review by Dr. Helena Carner

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Helena Carner, but here are a few - - She was available on short notice on a weekend which enabled me to keep my baby at home, where he was most comfortable and other vets were not available. She alleviated my fear of having to put him through a difficult car ride to a noisy office with clinical smells. - She arrived exactly on time and was so compassionate and empathetic. - Dr. Carner worked with me to have some time so that my younger cat could witness and understand that her "brother", whom she'd known all her life, wasn't with us anymore. This was valuable time for me, too as the transition from being with me to being gone was not rushed and allowed me time to adjust. - Communication was great and continues to be while I await the return of my beloved cat's cremains. I have already sung her praises to other pet parents who aren't in need of her services yet, and will continue to do so as the need arises. Many thanks for Dr. Carner for being so easy to work with and making a very difficult time easier for both me and my cat.

Doctor Helena was very kind when picking up our beloved Rags after he passed. It was a very difficult time and we so appreciated her care and taking the time to listen. She returned his ashes with care and again compassion. We thank her so very much!
