Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Being a vet was a childhood dream that started when I was about 4 years old. I started to develop a strong interest in senior pets and end of life care during vet school. I loved the human animal bond and felt so much reward from being able to walk with owners through their pet's later stages of life. I grew up with a little Westie named Maxie. She was my constant companion through grade school and started living with me when I went to vet school. I was her sole caregiver during her "senior years" until I made the decision to say goodbye to her when she was 17 years old. I was a vet at the time and had the gift of having my colleague being able to come to my home. I said goodbye to Maxie surrounded by friends in the comfort of our home. I wish everyone had the opportunity to say goodbye to their furry family members where so many of their memories are made and where they feel most comfortable.

5.0 Feb 16 2025 by Jodi N.Kirsten was very compassionate, professional, and kind. I couldn’t have asked for a better vet to help me with one of the worst times of my life. It was heartbreaking to lose my dog, but it was peaceful and loving. I am grateful to Kirsten and would definitely recommend her to family and friends in this difficult situation.
5.0 Jan 27 2025 by Stacy S.Dr. Stukey was very kind and patient with our family as we went through the process of saying good bye to our sweet girl. She had treats for Sierra, loved on her, and listened to our stories. I would highly recommend Dr. Stukey to take care of your precious pet.
5.0 Jan 26 2025 by Deanna A.Dr. Stukey truly embodied what it means to be a compassionate professional. We are deeply grateful for the care and kindness shown by her as it truly helped us through one of the hardest moments we’ve ever faced. Our 15-year-old Boston terrier, Harley, needed to say goodbye and I don’t think anyone is ever ready to let go. We are deeply grateful for the care and kindness shown by her. She approached the situation with such compassion.She blended empathy, sympathy, and a calm presence that made us feel supported and understood during this difficult time. Her gentle approach provided a sense of peace, both for Harley and for us, and we couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate professional to guide us through it. We’ll forever be thankful for her emotional intelligence and care in helping us say goodbye to our best friend and fur baby.
