Saying Goodbye at Home, With Love

A Guide to In-Home Euthanasia with Dr. Becker

We understand that saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the most difficult decisions a family can make. Our goal is to provide a peaceful, compassionate experience in the comfort and familiarity of your pet’s own home.

Dr. Becker will be there to guide you through each step, answer your questions, and allow you and your pet the time you need together.

CPEV CERTIFIED

About Dr. Becker

Dr. Becker has earned her Certified Peaceful Euthanasia Veterinarian (CPEV) credential, reflecting her commitment to helping pets and their families navigate one of life’s most difficult moments with kindness, dignity, and compassion.

Her goal is to provide a peaceful, gentle experience that allows your pet to remain surrounded by the people they love and the comfort and familiarity of home.

Step One Before Your Appointment

Prior to your scheduled visit, one of our Client Service Representatives will contact you to discuss and arrange your pet’s aftercare services and complete payment.

Taking care of these details ahead of time allows you to focus completely on your pet and your family when Dr. Becker arrives, without having to worry about paperwork, payment, or making difficult decisions during such an emotional moment.

Our team will walk you through the available aftercare options, answer any questions you may have, and ensure your wishes are clearly communicated to Dr. Becker before her arrival.

Step Two Dr. Becker Is on Her Way

Before arriving, Dr. Becker will send you a text message letting you know she is on her way to your home.

Once she arrives, she will spend time with you and your pet, explain the process, answer your questions, and make sure you feel comfortable with what to expect. There is no need to rush, this is your pet’s journey, and you are welcome to be part of the entire experience.

You are welcome to create whatever environment feels most comfortable for your pet and your family. Choose their favorite place in the home or yard, have their favorite bed or blanket nearby, and invite the people who are important to them. And yes—favorite treats are absolutely welcome. This time is about your pet and what brings them comfort and joy.

We Welcome

Favorite treats • Toys • Blankets & Beds • Family members • Other household pets

PRE-MEDICATIONS

Your pet’s comfort is our priority.

Before the final euthanasia medication is given, your pet will receive medication designed to help them feel calm, relaxed, comfortable, and pain-free.

This allows your pet to peacefully settle in while surrounded by the people, sounds, smells, and comforts they know best.

DURING THE APPOINTMENT

Your pet can remain wherever they are most comfortable - on their favorite bed, curled up on the couch, outside in the sunshine, or surrounded by their family. Dr. Becker will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you and your pet. You may choose to be present for all or part of the process. There is no right or wrong choice.

After your pet is relaxed and comfortable, Dr. Becker will administer the euthanasia medication. Your pet will peacefully pass while surrounded by the comfort of home and the people they love.

TAKING TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

After your pet has passed, there is no need to immediately say goodbye. You may spend some quiet time with them, share memories, allow other family members or pets to say goodbye, or simply sit together. Every family grieves differently, and we want you to have the space and time you need.

AFTERCARE

When you are ready, Dr. Becker will assist you with the next steps and your chosen aftercare arrangements. Our team can discuss available options with you ahead of time so that, on the day of your appointment, your focus can remain where it belongs,on your pet and the time you have together.

Our Commitment to You

Saying goodbye is never easy. Providing your pet with a peaceful passing at home is one final act of love. Dr. Becker and our team are honored to be trusted with this incredibly important moment and will treat your pet with the same compassion, dignity, and respect we would want for our own.
