Verified Veterinarian
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.

DR Kristina is amazing, we have had a few at home services and by far we felt the most connected to her and her compassionate ways. DR K was thorough and respectful at the same time. She gave us all the steps that she would be taking as Jake was set free. She was so gentle and the procedure went smoothly and without any complications. I would highly recommend DR Kristina Pugh to anyones pets that need end of life services. Thank you doesn’t seem to be enough.
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 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.
As difficult as this choice may be, choosing Dr Pugh to facilitate the process was easy. She came with amazing referrals and was absolutely wonderful. Everyone knows the pain, deep pain of making this decision. With Kristina leading us through the process, we were able to focus on sharing quality time with Dennis, my cat. I’ll always be grateful for that.
Dr Kristina Pugh was a very compassionate caring person at this difficult time. She was professional while also helping us cope with the loss of Benny. Once again thank you so much for what you did for us and I would recommend her to anyone who is in this difficult time of need.
Dr. Pugh was a wonderful, calming presence in the midst of an extremely difficult time. She treated our dog’s final moments with empathy, respect, and truly cared for us in our difficult time. We thank her for helping us through a terribly difficult day.
