Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I wanted to be a Veterinarian since I was a little girl. I feel honored to be a part of the final chapter of a pet parent's life & recognize the gift we are able to give our pets by allowing them to cross at home, surrounded by their family in a safe & grounding space.

What pet parents are saying

Very Kind and thoughtful Went at our pace. Especially gentle with my dog. Having them come to the house was less stressful on my dog and it allowed my other dogs to sniff her and say good by as well. She handled everything, including the cremation. Can say enough good things about her or the service.

Dr. Lydia was incredibly sensitive and sincere in such a hard time for me. She was very compassionate and patient. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful way to help my dog cross the rainbow bridge.

Dr. Lydia’s in-home services to help our amazing Lincoln cross over was the right decision for our family. Dr. Lydia was professional, extremely compassionate and truly helped us during a very difficult time. We would highly recommend her services if needed. Thanks Dr. Lydia.

Review by Dr. Lydia Cook McAnulty

Dr. Lydia was a blessing in our difficult time. Scheduling was easy, her communication was great, and she talked us through the whole process ahead of time as well as during. We're really thankful we had that time with our pet at home as we said goodbye. Dr. Lydia was empathetic and considerate throughout. She also coordinated and delivered the ashes to our vet so we didn't have to worry about it. We're very thankful for her help.

I can't imagine a more loving and empathetic approach to end of life care for a beloved family pet. Although our hearts were broken we knew we did the right thing. I couldn't have asked for a better vet than Dr.Lydia. Thank you
