Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

One of my earliest memories is of saying goodbye to my mom’s dog, Amy, when I was 4 years old. The veterinarian who helped us through that experience was so kind, compassionate, and methodical—I never forgot it. That moment inspired me to become a vet, and it continues to shape my passion for supporting pets and their families during end-of-life care. Before starting this work, I spent years in emergency veterinary care, helping families through some of their hardest moments. This experience helps me bring both clinical expertise and heartfelt understanding to families facing the most difficult goodbye. After recently saying goodbye to my own beloved dog, Jackie, I truly came to understand how important it is to be able to say goodbye at home—in a space filled with comfort, love, and familiarity. That experience shaped my approach and deepened my commitment to helping others navigate this difficult time with compassion, respect, and peace.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Thomason was wonderful. Kind, compassionate, sensitive, professional. She was the ideal person to help us through this difficult ordeal. She was very responsive via text, and accommodating on the timing we needed. I posted a review on Google, you can take a look at that as well. I highly recommend Dr. Thomason , without reservation.

Dr Thomason made our beloved cat's passing a calm, peaceful, and loving event. She was responsive, and her communication was kind and professional. When the day came, she took the time to let our kitty acclimate to her presence by speaking calmly and lovingly, eventually luring her out from her hiding place with treats etc. I am so grateful our kitty passed in a state of "exploring a new human", peacefully and seemingly oblivious to any discomfort. I highly recommend Dr Thomason.
