Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
When I was in high school, I was required to perform mandatory service hours. I started volunteering at a local stable and took care of all the horses, led trail rides, farm tours, etc. I decided I wanted to be able to give back to these animals that help us every day. I majored in Animal Sciences while in undergrad and then worked as a small animal surgery and anesthesia technician while awaiting my vet school acceptance. Originally, I went to veterinary school to specialize in equine sports medicine and radiology and I even completed an equine internship post-graduation. However, while I will still continue to work on horses, I would like to be able to give back to the community. Six months before starting vet school, I had to put down my beloved family rescue dog that I had for 10 years. She was terrified of everyone besides my mom and I, and she hated being in a vet office. Having to put her to sleep in a strange room surrounded by strange people was horrible. I would like to offer my services in order to help your furry friend cross the rainbow bridge in their own safe space, surrounded by the people they love.

What pet parents are saying
I am so glad we had Dr. Michelli out to our house during this very difficult time. She was perfect. Could not asked more from the Dr.
Dr. Michelli did an exceptional job taking easing our furry friends passage across the “rainbow” bridge. She made sure we knew how every step worked and made it as painless as possible. In a difficult time she provided a service that exceeded our expectations.
Dr. Michelli was the most caring person during this difficult time. She loved on our pups, listened to all of our stories about her through the process and cried with us. It made the event easier to process through our grief. She is an amazing person to do what she does.
Wonderful person, so glad she was the one to do it. Very kind, explained everything, very compassionate, and great to have through this really hard situation.
This was the first time I've ever had to euthanize a beloved pet and Dr Nicolette was very caring and explained the whole process. She was very patient and respectful and had a calming demeanor. She helped ease our sweet Ace's pain as we helped him cross the rainbow bridge... I am grateful for this type of service she has chosen. I don't know how she does it, but she is an angel for it. Thank you Dr Nicolette. Ace was able to pass peacefully in his own home surrounded by his loved ones.
Dr. Michelli was a wonderful doctor who assisted us in giving a peaceful and loving goodbye to our beloved dog of 16 years, Jasmine. She responded very quickly after we booked the appointment and messaged us with all the necessary information and answered any questions we had about the procedure. When she arrived to our home, she was very quiet, respectful and understanding of our grief. She allowed us all the time we needed to compose ourselves and say our last goodbyes before we parted with our beautiful little dog. She explained all the steps and procedures very well and allowed our sweet dog to pass gently in her sleep in the comfort of our home. I cannot reccomend Dr. Michelli's services enough. She made an already painful process easy, gentle, and peaceful. We are thankful we contacted her to give our sweet Jasmine a final goodbye.
