Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
When I was in high school, I was required to perform mandatory service hours. I started volunteering at a local stable and took care of all the horses, led trail rides, farm tours, etc. I decided I wanted to be able to give back to these animals that help us every day. I majored in Animal Sciences while in undergrad and then worked as a small animal surgery and anesthesia technician while awaiting my vet school acceptance. Originally, I went to veterinary school to specialize in equine sports medicine and radiology and I even completed an equine internship post-graduation. However, while I will still continue to work on horses, I would like to be able to give back to the community. Six months before starting vet school, I had to put down my beloved family rescue dog that I had for 10 years. She was terrified of everyone besides my mom and I, and she hated being in a vet office. Having to put her to sleep in a strange room surrounded by strange people was horrible. I would like to offer my services in order to help your furry friend cross the rainbow bridge in their own safe space, surrounded by the people they love.

What pet parents are saying
I am so glad we had Dr. Michelli out to our house during this very difficult time. She was perfect. Could not asked more from the Dr.
I’m grateful Dr Michelli was an able to accommodate us on such short notice so that our old boy could has a peaceful passing at home. Dr Michelli was so caring and comforting during this hard time. Thank you again.
Dr Michelli made the whole process of taking care of my 22 YO kitty “Bunny”. As peaceful as possible. She came out at just the right time to keep my baby comfortable, as she passed over the rainbow 🌈 bridge.
Thank you for what you do. Letting go of our Molly was extremely difficult but we knew it was time since her illness had taken away her quality of life. I am grateful your service was available for my Molly. She was always afraid at the vet and I didn’t want her final moments in this world to be scary for her. She was able to be home, in her bed, without fear. It’s the best last thing I could give her and I will be forever grateful for the ability to do that for her. Your are an amazing and caring vet and I would recommend you to anyone who asks. Thank you for what you do. My family and I will forever be thankful for you.
