Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I became a veterinarian with a specific mission in mind: to ensure that every animal receives the gift of a peaceful, pain-free passing. While veterinary clinics are places of healing, the clinical environment can often be a source of stress and anxiety for a pet in their final moments. I believe that every pet deserves to spend their last breath in the place they love most, surrounded by familiar scents and the people who cherish them. By bringing end-of-life care into the home, I aim to honor the dignity of each individual and transform a difficult goodbye into a gentle, private, and sacred transition.

Review by Dr. Renee Schott

First, she arrived 45 min later than appt. Normally I wouldn’t mind but I was holding my pet with the quilt I was ending his life as soon as Doc arrived. She was soft, kind, efficient. She gave me information what was going to occur. It happened so quickly and she was respectful. My next recommendation would be to tell me when I would receive my pets ashes. I called, text, for 10 days before the cremation center called me with reassurance that Toby had been there and cremated but would return to NB Vet. for another 4 days. I picked him up today. ( 2 weeks)

Review by Dr. Renee Schott

Dr. Renee Schott was very kind and compassionate. She took her time getting to know our dog by listening to stories of his life and favorite things. Our dog felt very comfortable with her which he showed by kissing her in face. She also took the time to make sure we all were also comfortable during the process. I would highly recommend her.

Review by Dr. Renee Schott

Dr. Schott is the best vet for in home euthanasia. We are so glad we chose her instead of an in clinic vet. She was very kind and empathetic. She took her time releasing our Butters, giving us time to grieve through each stage and him time to drift off peacefully. We really appreciate her support.

Review by Dr. Renee Schott

She was very compassionate and understanding of our feelings at such a difficult time, she took the time to ask about Baylor and what he was like. We felt like we had made the right decision to do this at home and she handled everything very professionally.
