Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I became a veterinarian due to my love of animals, science and medicine. I work in a busy, private practice specialty hospital and function as Department Head of the Critical Care unit. My current job includes both hospice care and euthanasia, and now I strive to provide this service to pets and families in their home.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Walton and her assistant Morgan were the most compassionate, respectful, and sympathetic professionals when it came to putting my dog down. They both intuitively knew what to say, what to do, and I appreciated their gentle presence, kindness, and communication beyond words. This was my first time having to part ways with a pet, and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. However, even in my profound grief, there was a moment during the process I thought of how beautifully tragic this was. If it has to happen, this is the most peaceful and poetic way to do it. Zoey took her last breath just how she wanted - in my arms, surrounded by the people and things she loved most, in the comfort of her own home. Dr. Walton and Morgan, I hope to never see you for your services again… but if I or someone else does, I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you for making an extremely difficult process a little easier
Dr. Becca and her assistant, Morgan, were more than I could have asked for on the hardest day of my life. She intuively knew the best way to ways communicate with us in our profound grief, and they were incredibly respectful and gentle despite my rather terse communication at the time. I never wish anyone to have to go through this, but if you do, I can't recommend Dr. Becca enough.
Words cannot describe how comforting and kind Dr. Becca and her assistant Morgan were during the process. However I will do my best. My family's situation with our family dog was difficult which led us to the deciding to let him rest. He had grown very old, sick, and was in poor condition. It was embarrassing. I explained the situation to Dr. Becca, asking to please do not judge us and our dogs state. Her communication and assurance that she held no judgement made the experience less painful. We were her last appointment during the night, but she and Morgan showed up with positive and compassionate energy. Holding such soothing demeanor, they conversed with us, explained each step, and kept strong composure as we grieved his last breath. They took him away with such consideration, it made my family and I feeling light knowing we did the right thing and that he is in good hands with them. Then their visit to bring our dog back to us was endearing as they brought flowers, a written card, his paw print, and his ashes. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Dr. Becca and Morgan! The experience would have been unbearable without you.
Dr. Rebecca Walton was wonderful. O couldn;t have asked for a more passionate and caring vet to be with me during Tippy's passing. Thank you

Rebecca was amazing to work with, we really appreciate her care and understanding of the hard times we were going through. She was professional and at the same time compassionate, both my partner and I are so happy for her services. Also she went above and beyond to send us a little card which we thought it was super thoughtful of her. We really are truly thankful for all she did for us.
