Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Growing up as an animal lover, I always saw myself being a veterinarian. Early in my career I realized that veterinary medicine is more than just animals, it's about the people connected to the animals. As friends, family, and neighbors have increasingly asked for my advice and help in guiding them through end-of-life decisions for their pets, I realized there was a great need for the support that in-home euthanasia can provide. I feel privileged to be able to serve my community in this way.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Glenn Jackson was caring, knowledgeable and respectful in helping our very sick kitty have final peace from her pain. He focused on her and responded quickly to ensure her continued peaceful passing. Throughout, from euthanasia to returning her ashes, he was available and compassionate. As a family, we appreciate Dr. Jackson and his help during this very painful time.
Glenn was extremely aware of the special bond between a human and their animal companion and his calm, sensitive manner was so supportive. I felt blessed to have had him present.
This service was so helpful to us. Dr. Glenn was so kind and caring. He walked us through the process and listened to stories about our beloved pup. It helped us immensely to say good bye to our Stella blue in the comfort of our own home. No stress of the vets office and our other dog was able to be there for his sister. We would definitely recommend this to make such a difficult day a little bit easier.
Recently, I had to put my daughter's dear duck (Omelet) down. My daughter was abroad, and I had never put an animal down before. Omelet was the last surviving duck of our flock of four. She was 12 years old - a deeply loved pet, who returned our love each and every day. This was very difficult for me. Dr. Glenn Jackson came to my house, and I am so glad that I found him on this website. I cannot imagine anyone being more compassionate, kind and caring. I shared some stories about Omelet, which he clearly enjoyed hearing, before he gently explained the process. Omelet seemed to know what was coming, and she was remarkably calm and ready. I held her the whole time with Yo-o Ma's "The Swan" softly playing in the background (which she loved). Dr. Jackson even hit "play" on the music for me while I was holding her. He described each step so clearly in advance, and with such gentle reassurance. Omelet never once displayed fear, never tried to squirm out of my arms, and never cried out. She just gently passed away in my arms. I cannot imagine a more beautiful and meaningful experience. I will always be eternally grateful to Dr. Jackson.
The entire euthanization service is excellent from beginning to end. I had been with my Dante for 15 years and he was in terrible pain. I was unable to take him to his regular vet since at this time I am homebound. From the phone call to Dr. Jackson to the crematorium, an excellent job was done. I feel my baby was honored as well as myself and my husband. I love that Dr. Jackson made it possible for my feline son to cross the Rainbow Bridge while I held him in my lap. He knew that I was with him. I feel honored that we had this opportunity and appreciate it more than these, or any, words can say. Thank you so much.
The vet came out on a day he had no appointments because after talking with him, we both agreed that there was no quality of life for Nikeeta. These vets actually care
