Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I became a veterinarian to make a meaningful difference in the lives of animals and their families, offering comfort, healing, and support through every stage of their journey. I chose to offer in-home euthanasia because I believe it provides the most compassionate, stress-free way for pets to pass in familiar surroundings, surrounded by love.

What pet parents are saying
She explained every step of what was going to happen before she did anything. She gave a space to grieve without judgment. Would recommend Dr. Todd to anyone .
Dr. Katie was amazing! She handled everything so professionally yet personally too. Ruger will be so missed by many (as she can attest to, she said it was the biggest crowd she'd had, there were 9 of us) and I will never take my pets to a cold impersonal clinic to pass if I can help it. Having your pet pass at home where they're comfortable and familiar was such a blessing!
She was very kind and understanding of the situation. She gave us plenty of time for us to say our goodbyes. She didn't treat Camry just like another number and that means a lot.
Dr. Katie Todd was highly recommended to us. Our 18 year old shihpoo had been struggling with rapidly declining health. I can vividly remember bringing Lilly home at 8 weeks old and spending 18 years of pure joy with her. It was a wonderful honor to get to be her Mommy. That little girl was my primary sidekick and we had a ball together. She was right there with me throughout everything good and bad that life threw our way. When her little body became to tired, I knew that I wanted to make sure that her time was as perfect as it could be for her. I wanted to make sure that Lilly had a calm and peaceful transition. Dr. Katie Todd provided just that for us. She made herself available to us on a Sunday evening and came to our home. Dr. Todd was so kind and soothing. She calmly explained everything to us prior to and as she was administering the medications. Dr. Todd has a very difficult career watching people grieve so terribly but also being so helpful in such a time of need. It takes a very strong person with a tremendous heart to be able to accomplish that. We are so grateful for her and that she provided our beautiful Lilly the opportunity to pass peacefully in the comfort of her own home while be held in her Mommy's arms. Thank you Dr. Todd for being there for us.
I cannot express how grateful I am for the exceptional care and compassion Dr. Todd showed when she came to our home to help our beloved dog. She was not only a skilled veterinarian, but also an empathetic person. She treated our furry baby with the utmost gentleness, ensuring he was comfortable in his final moments. She took time to explain everything, answered our questions and did not rush us through our saying goodbyes. Her professionalism, warmth, and understanding made an incredibly painful experience more bearable. Thank you, Dr. Todd for being there for us when we needed it the most. Lastly, thank you for the beautiful keepsakes that we will cherish forever! You are truly amazing!
I am writing this for my mother who recently had to put her dog down. She used Dr. Katie Todd and she was very happy with her experience. She stated that Dr. Katie Todd took her time with the procedure and she stayed with my mother for a time afterwards She was also very sympathetic to the situation. Thank You Dr. Katie Todd for making a hard situation a little bit easier and I thank you for your kindness.
