Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

Being a veterinarian is something I’ve always wanted to do and there’s never really been a plan B for me that did not involve veterinary medicine. I started working at a vet clinic when I was 14 and that experience really solidified my decision to pursue a career as a vet. I loved the fact that the vet I worked for gave a voice to those that could not speak for them selves. I loved talking to the people and learning about their relationship with their pet. Moreso, I loved seeing what a difference you can make in someone’s life by healing and/or saving their pet, which they consider a family member. That experience along with various others since then helped me be secure in my decision to become a DVM. As far as reason behind wanting to provide in-home euthanasias, I think the human-animal bond is a very unique and precious bond - we view our pets as our family and we want them to be happy always, especially in those last moments. I think being able to provide this service which allows pets to be in the comfort of their home and allowing any and all family members to be there or at least say goodbye at their own pace, is an extremely rewarding service to be able to provide.

Meagan made one of the worst evenings in our life peaceful. Her kindness and professionalism was appreciated. She completely relieved the pressure of that trip to the vet. Thank you Meagan.

Very grateful for Dr. Meagan Batey's help with our elderly chihuahua to end her suffering. Dr. Batey is skilled and compassionate, and helped to make day as bearable as possible for my daughter and me. I recommend her without reservation if you find yourself faced with this decision.

Dr. Batey was wonderful. She told us what to expect and asked whether we had questions. Her personal touch was exactly what we needed during this difficult experience.

Dr. Bates was wonderful to us and our dog during her final moments. She was extremely professional, very communicative about the process, and incredibly kind. I felt my pup was in great hands and she was completely comfortable when she passed. She gave us space to grieve and was additionally super sweet to our other animals.

Dr. Batey made the experience of putting our 16 year old Yorkie down as easy as possible. She is gentle and compassionate and you can tell she loves animals.
