Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I have loved animals from the time I can remember and pursuing veterinary medicine meant that I got to spend every day with the animals I love and helping them from all avenues. In my many years as a veterinarian, I deeply understand the challenges of treating critically ill patients and the nuances of end-of-life care. I am honored to help pets pass away peacefully in the comfort of their home and with their loving family at their side.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Gardhouse was so empathetic and caring with me and my kids. She reached out before and after to let me know she was available for anything. She made a difficult process as seamless and comforting a possible. Thank you, Dr. Gardhouse!

Review by Dr. Sara Gardhouse

Dr. Sara was so kind and caring. She was patient and understanding. She recognized our need to just “be” with our sweet Jack a little while longer. She showed tons of love for Lil Jack. She gave us a safe space to “ugly cry” as we helped our sweet boy cross the rainbow bridge. Thank you, Dr. Sara for helping make one of the most painful things we’ve ever had to do hurt just a little less with your love and compassion for “furbabies” & their humans!

A very wonderful caring , warm and compassionate Dr Sara Gardhouse was the right person in my life to take care of my needs when it came to the final day of Rex’s life here on earth. She was accommodating to where I wanted. Rex euthanized . That to me was the greatest gift of all. Even though it rained all day, we went forward, so Rex wouldn’t suffer anymore. She answered questions I had after the procedure, when I was overwhelmed with heartbreak and grief, stating she was there for me if I needed. Dr. Sara Gardhouse, I can’t say enough how grateful I had her by our side, it was comforting. I would recommend her to anyone that needs in-home or out of home euthanasia. You’re in the best care with this great doctor.. thank you Leia Hanson

Dr. Sara was awesome! She came a day earlier than scheduled, knowing my kittie was not doing well. Having my kittie put down at home was less stressful on our cat and us than taking her to the vet. Dr. Sara was also able to handle the cremation services afterwards. The cost was the same or less than what we would have paid at our vet. I would highly recommend having your pet euthanized at home. Thanks again, Dr. Sara!

Dr. Gardhouse was so patient and caring. She explained what was going to happen and allowed us to process as much as we needed. When we were ready, she was so sweet and tender. We felt very taken care of as we said goodbye to our beloved kitty. Thank you for helping us through this very difficult time with so much grace and compassion.

Dr Sara helped us in dire circumstances by helping Sable start the next part of her journey. She was gentle and caring both for our comfort and to ease our big dog out of this life as painlessly as possible when there was no more hope for her recovery. We miss Sable every day! Thank you Dr Sara. /Dave and Olga
