Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I feel that the human-animal bond is a very unique and precious one - we view our pets as family and we want them to know they were loved always, especially in those last moments. I think this service, which allows pets to be in the comfort of their home, surrounded by family who are able to say goodbye at their own pace, is an extremely valuable service to be able to provide. I feel passionate about being able to provide a peaceful and dignified transition. I think this is a final kindness we can provide our pets who have always loved us unconditionally.

What pet parents are saying
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.
She was extremely patient and answered all our questions. She walked us through each phase of the process. She made an extremely difficult time a little more comfortable.
In one of the hardest moments of our lives Dr Batey brought us so much comfort. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals and was so patient and kind. I really can’t say enough to express my gratitude. We never felt rushed or as if this was just a business transaction. It was the best outcome we could have hoped for at such a sad time.
Dr. Batey came to us twice, once for a quality of life assessment. She adjusted the medications to a palliative approach and we were able to spend 3 more good months with our sweet girl. Maura was just a different creature at the vet than she was at home, and Dr. Batey was able to see a different side of her. Today Dr. Batey came again, and helped us let her go with patience, authenticity, kindness and understanding. She explained everything to us and allowed us to say goodbye in the most peaceful way possible. After 17 years of devotion, it was the best choice for us.
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.
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.
