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. Pugh was kind, compassionate, and professional. She took the time to answer all of my children’s questions and concerns which really made an incredibly sad experience a bit easier. Dr. Pugh did not rush the process and every step felt personal and empathetic. If you find yourself having to say goodbye to a beloved pet, Dr. Pugh is the one you want by your side. Thank you ❤️
Dr. Kristina was absolutely incredible. We needed to say goodbye to our handsome boy of 18 years, and it was honestly the hardest day of my life. We wanted to do it at home to make things easy on him and us. Dr. Kristina was compassionate, caring, and handled our cat's needs as though he were her own. Her bedside was amazing, and she explained every step of the way to us so we knew what to expect and how he would be feeling. She even gave us time to let the other 2 cats say goodbye. Well worth every penny for the visit, she is an incredible vet and human <3
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. 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.
Thanks so much for taking care of our dearest OC and us yesterday. Your amazing empathy, patience and kindness turned our sadness into a very special, memorable and loving goodbye that will forever remain in our hearts, thank you Dr. Kristina!
Dr. Pugh was absolutely amazing during our very devastating time. She handled our boy with such care and took the proper action to ensure he was comfortable and not suffering. Dr. Pugh's compassion and empathy during the whole process and even thereafter was unprecedented. We are thankful everyday that she was our vet and helped make the most difficult moment in our lives bearable.
