Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Our pets provide us so much joy and happiness, that we can't ever truly be ready to say goodbye. After participating in euthanasia's in a clinic setting for 15 years, I'm relieved to be able to provide a more relaxing, peaceful, and personal alternative to pets and their families with in-home euthanasia services.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Kristina Pugh came to us on one of our worst days when it was time to put our first beloved pet to sleep. We made our in-home pet euthanasia appointment the day before and from the time of booking, Dr. Kristina was empathetic and responsive and let us know we could chat about quality of life or a more urgent appointment if needed. Dr. Kristina arrived and greeted our dogs, talked us through the process, offered helpful words of comfort and encouragement, and gave us space and time to say our tearful goodbyes. She was caring and compassionate on a very sad and personal day for us. We didn't know exactly what to expect, but we couldn't have asked for a better experience all things considered. Our Molly girl passed peacefully in our arms and she is now at rest. Thank you to Dr. Kristina for making a difficult day just a little bit easier.
Dr. Pugh was absolutely amazing throughout. She was so kind and gentle and made sure my beloved dog had the best possible experience in her passing. If you are considering in home pet euthanasia, Dr. Pugh is the best.
Dr Pugh was very thoughtful and professional for every step. This was my first experience with in-home euthanasia for a pet. I highly recommend it. This was much better than a potentially stressful trip for the animal's final moments.
Dr Pugh was amazing. I cannot describe how gentle, considerate, caring and respectful she was with my dog and with the situation. She made such a hard and sad event as peaceful and as dignified as humanly possible. When the time comes to make that hard decision with my other dog, I hope Dr Pugh is available.
Dr Kristina was empathic, kind and compassionate. Dr Kristina also took her time, answered questions and made this painful experience more bearable. As a result we feel more at peace.
Kristina was patient, kind, and compassionate. All traits you hope for when experiencing the heartbreak of losing a beloved pet. Thank you for helping our baby girl cross over in a calm and pain free way.
