Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I became a veterinarian, like most, because I had a strong compassion for animals and wanted to help them live longer healthier lives. Unfortunately, our pets never live as long as we would like, and I see home euthanasia as providing both the pet parents and the beloved pet with a peaceful and loving location to say our final goodbye.

What pet parents are saying
There's no way to make this process truly easy. But Dr. Devlin made it as easy as it could be. He treated us and Ruskin with dignity, empathy, and compassion. Being able to do this at home helped lower the anxiety on all of us.
Although it was a very difficult decision to make, Dr. Rob told us exactly what we needed to hear with great honesty and, above all, with great respect. I am very grateful to him for his compassion and kindness. I wouldn't hesitate to contact him again in the future, because, although it's very difficult to accept, death is a part of life.
Dr. Devlin was very gentle and gave a thorough explanation of what to expect during the process. We could not get Grace to our vet but our experience with inhome euthanasia was awesome. Grace passed in the comfort of her bed and she left us very peacefully. Thank you Dr. Devlin, you are a very caring Vet.
Dr Devlin came out to our home to assist with our baby boy, as we wanted him to be in a place he was familiar with to make it easier on both him and us. Dr. Devlin made Tadashi’s departure peaceful and painless. My son insisted on sitting with Tadashi until the end and Dr Devlin treated him as if he was the adult in the room. Walking him through every step. He made a very difficult time just the slightest easier. We all love our animals and it’s a crime of nature that their lifespans are so incredibly short. But if you’re ever in the need, I highly recommend him.
The sad experience was made more comfortable by the veterinarian’s compassion. She allowed us to set the pace. Saying “goodbye” in the warmth of our own home vs a sterile environment made a big difference.
My best friend and constant companion had to cross the Rainbow Bridge. You never want that day to come, but when it does it is so nice to have Dr. Rob by your side. My Luna never takes to new people, or people other than me actually, but Dr. Rob made her comfortable before her journey. Made me comfortable, too. Not easy in either case! But, handled with ease by Dr. Rob. The journey itself was handled with great care and compassion. No pain. Just a gentle sleep and a final good bye. I could not ask for a better experience on such a day. Thank you, from both Luna and I, Dr, Rob.
