Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I see veterinary medicine as a profession of service, service to the animals in need of care and service to their owners who share and mutually celebrate the human animal bond. Every animal whom I care for teaches me something and helps me be a better veterinarian and a better person. In-home euthanasia is a gift that we can give our pets. We can provide solace for them and our families by letting them pass on in a place they know surrounded by those they love. In-home euthanasia allows us to be able to advocate for our pets and make the choice for how we want to say goodbye.

What pet parents are saying
I’m am forever grateful to Dr. Dixon for her compassionate and caring service. She was able to come out on a Sunday with very short notice and it means the world to know that my Rosie could relax and let go peacefully.
I wasn't aware of this at home service and I wish my primary Vet had suggested it as an option. Thank God a friend suggested this. My dog was able to pass in his own home environment with a ton of love around him. JoAnne was professional and caring and walked us through step by step. This is the only route we will take from now on. I highly recommend this option.
Dr. Dixon is my animal hero! The way she came on very short notice to help my Rosie over the Bridge was such an enormous relief to me. The peaceful passing of my dog gave me the chance to hold that memory as a positive one in my heart The added service of cremation and the return of her ashes was another way to make a difficult time a bit easier. The fact that Dr. Dixon comes from La Pine to all over Bend shows how generous and caring she is. Lyn McClure
Dr Dixon was kind, caring, and gentle with our boy in his final moments. My husband and I are extremely grateful for this service and for Dr Dixon for allowing such dignity and peace in such a difficult time. We will never do it another way if we can help it.
Dr Dixon was so kind and patient with us as we'd never lost a pet before. She explained what would happen and allowed Boomer to pass away peacefully in our arms, in our own home. I wouldn't have done this any other way and we are so grateful for her care.
Dr. Dixon was so kind and helped Eddie with a peaceful passing. She was compassionate. I’m grateful she was able to help us with our sweet boy Eddie. He had cancer and she helped us say goodbye to Eddie. I miss Eddie so much. Thank you Dr. Dixon for your kindness.
