Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

One of my earliest memories is of saying goodbye to my mom’s dog, Amy, when I was 4 years old. The veterinarian who helped us through that experience was so kind, compassionate, and methodical—I never forgot it. That moment inspired me to become a vet, and it continues to shape my passion for supporting pets and their families during end-of-life care. Before starting this work, I spent years in emergency veterinary care, helping families through some of their hardest moments. This experience helps me bring both clinical expertise and heartfelt understanding to families facing the most difficult goodbye. After recently saying goodbye to my own beloved dog, Jackie, I truly came to understand how important it is to be able to say goodbye at home—in a space filled with comfort, love, and familiarity. That experience shaped my approach and deepened my commitment to helping others navigate this difficult time with compassion, respect, and peace.

What pet parents are saying

Jill was amazing- she was very communicative and accommodating when we requested an earlier time for our home euthanasia for our pup. I let her know my 4 year old would be there and she was careful and gentle in how she spoke to him. She made an awful process so much more comfortable; I will recommend her again and again!

I am so thankful that we found Dr. Jill to take us through the extremely sad loss of our dear sick pet. She was kind, professional, responsive, flexible, attentive and understanding. She made a very difficult thing as easy and graceful as possible. I highly recommend Dr. Jill.

Dr. Jill was very compassionate, patient, and caring. It was my family's first pet passing and she was very responsive and detailed when I asked her for advice and going through the whole process. Thank you so much, couldn't have asked for a better service during a rough time saying goodbye to our dog and not having any prior experience.

While saying goodbye to a beloved pet is so very hard, Dr. Jill Thomason could not have been a better, more kind and compassionate person to help our beloved dog pass. I highly commend her professionalism and sincerity.
