Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I have wanted to be a veterinarian since I was a little kid. I loved helping animals, and as I grew older, I also learned that I loved helping owners better understand and care for their own fur babies. I enjoy all aspects of veterinary medicine, and while working in brick-and-mortar practices was fulfilling, I also could tell that there was something missing. I started an in-home euthanasia business in 2019 because I could see the need for an option for more personalized, compassionate, and comfortable experience for animals at the end of their lives. Euthanasia is the kindest final gift we can give the animals that have given us so much, and it is genuinely an honor to help these furry family members feel as safe and pain free as possible while they pass into a peaceful death. On a more personal note, I want to emphasize that I know exactly how hard the choice to euthanize is. I have had to make that decision more often than I would like for my own beloved pets, and each time it is heartbreaking. The last thing anyone needs when traveling this difficult path is pressure or judgement from a veterinarian. I want to be a partner in helping you decide what is right for your family, and know that I will do everything I can to take the sting out of death for both you and your fur baby.

What pet parents are saying
Sarah was kind and empathetic, she made a difficult and sad day much more bearable. We would recommend her to anyone going through this difficult time.
She was so thoughtful and took her time to make sure that everyone was comfortable, especially Tucker. It was one of the most peaceful euthanasias I've ever been part of
Dr Sarah was so incredibly thoughtful and caring. Her soft touch and sensitivity was so appreciated during the process of giving our sweet girl Kona a beautiful and honorable death.
Dr. Crozier makes an incredibly difficult time so much easier. This is our second experience with her and I swear she's an angel on earth.
Dr. Crozier was so amazing, compassionate, and caring to us when we had to say goodbye to our dog. It’s never an easy thing but the whole experience made it feel peaceful and respectful and she really expressed genuine care. She was incredibly communicative and open with us and overall for a crappy situation, she made it a good experience. I was really nervous about making it as painless and fear-free for my dog as possible and she really aided in creating that space. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
We struggled with the decision to end our beloved Layla's life (of 17 years). Aside from kidney disease she "appeared" in good health though she had been suffering from dementia; she had forgotten how to play, was confused, and had been having many toileting accidents. It was tremendously helpful when we first spoke with Dr. Crozier on the phone. She addressed our worries around the decision explained her process of euthanasia. This gave us clarity and confidence that this was the right time. On the appointed day Dr. Crozier was incredibly supportive. While we were terribly sad to say goodbye to "our girl" the process was very respectful and peaceful. Dr. Crozier was a godsend at this difficult time in our lives.
