Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I've counseled hundreds of owners through end-of-life decisions and experienced my own fair share of heartbreaking pet loss. I appreciate being able to help pets pass peacefully in their own homes and pride myself on providing support for the entire family during this difficult time. ***One of the things I love most about providing in-home euthanasia is being able to customize the experience for each pet & family. I've done euthanasias every where from the backyard to a park to an owner's bed, so please choose wherever you and your pet will be most comfortable. Want to say prayers together? Have a witchy ceremony? I'm here for it! I will do my best to accommodate special requests, so don't be afraid to ask!***

What pet parents are saying
I just want to thank Dr. Kyra Heirich she was such an amazing, caring, loving and so supporting through this extremely difficult time. She kept in touch ever step of the way and always shared her condolences and supportive words. My family and I could not thank her enough for helping us and our precious Jade through this difficult time. And our precious Jade came back home personally delivered by Dr. Kyra was such a beautiful core memory how they captured and brought our Jade home. Such a beautiful box and paw print. 🐾 Thank you again for being there for us every step of the way Dr. Kyra.
Dr Heirich is amazing. She came to my house to do the euthanasia of my beloved cat who had cancer. She was empathetic and practical. She explained everything she was doing before and during. Even my cat loved her and actually went to her knowing she was going to ease his pain. Dr Heirich made a very hard experience, peaceful and comforting. Thank you Dr Heirich.
