Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Growing up as early as about 13 years old I loved animals and wanted to work with them to some capacity as part of my career. Once starting college I obtained a job as a veterinary technician assistant and the rest is history. I never saw myself offering In Home Euthanasia as a career within this profession, although a big part of my job on a day to day basis is performing this procedure. It was only after being able to perform this on my own pet in my own home that I was awakened with the huge difference it made and the comfort it offered both myself, my family and my passing pet. After experiencing this I wanted to ensure others in my area had an option like this as this service is not offered in the area I live. I am happy to do so and look forward to allowing other pet parents to benefit from the service.

What pet parents are saying
Thank you Dr. Josh Though it was a low spot in our lives Josh made us feel better about letting our long time partner move on. We appreciate the love and respect he had for Tilly.
Saying goodbye to your best friend is never easy. Josh was sweet and loving and made our precious yellow Labrador, Toby’s last moments on this side of eternity much more comfortable. He was extremely respectful and understanding. Truly a wonderful human being.
I'd be pretty hard-pressed to say what hasn't already been said about Dr. Josh Williams' compassionate and professional care. I do, though, want to echo those words with the greatest amount of respect and appreciation. Every bit of it is true. In the early afternoon light of a sun-filled day, my sweet boy Max was put to rest in our backyard. One of his favorite places to be. There was so much grace in those moments. No drama, no struggle . . . just peace. Forever grateful ~
Dear doc Williams, I want to express my deepest gratitude and humanity and deepest compassion you shown not only me but my beloved Kona. His journey was done in such a humanity way ever shown. Thank you for your kindness and love you have shown Kona.
Nothing prepares you for the loss of a pet. When the time came we were very sad and we felt the weight of what was to come. I wasn’t quite prepared for Josh or anyone for that matter to come in with higher energy than what we were feeling. He continued to speak and inform us of what to expect & his tone and manner reassured and comforted us. He told us she wasn’t going to feel any pain. He could tell how much we loved her. (This was her health status: This was the fourth time that she had become too weak to walk on her own and she had stopped eating solid food & stopped drinking water). If I had to do it again, I would choose Josh. He was respectful of her little body which meant everything to me. He made a very painful decision bearable. He’s a very sweet man. I’m very grateful for him and people like him that make a difficult process easier. Thank you for being positive in such a hard time. Thank you, Josh, for your positive attitude and your love for animals.
This was the best experience we could hope for when being heartbroken saying goodbye to our beloved girl. The sensitivity and care provided by Dr Josh was professional and helped our family move through the process.
