Such a good question. 

 

I can tell you that I have been a veterinarian for almost 30 years now and have performed countless euthanasias. I have found that my most rewarding experiences come when I can provide a peaceful passing at home. During an at-home euthanasia, we don't ask your pet to travel, they stay exactly where they are—on their bed, in their favorite sunny spot, wherever they're comfortable. 

​

Thirteen years ago, I started a mobile general practice that allowed me to deliver medical care to pets in their homes. It was the best decision I ever made.

 

Sometimes they were not mobile enough to get in car, too scared to get in a cat carrier or were just more comfortable at home on the sofa. My patients and their families were able to be relaxed and calm in a place where they had spent their lives being loved every day. 

 

I feel that euthanasia is oftentimes the kindest act we can offer our beloved pets. In the next chapter of my career as a veterinarian, I'm going to maintain my connection with animals and their families, and provide emotional and physical relief whenever possible.

​

While I am at your home helping your pets to pass peacefully, you can play their favorite music and give them treats if they'd like. You can have everyone there who wants to say goodbye—or keep it private if that's what feels right. At home, you get as long as you need.

​

I am so grateful that we can say goodbye together in a warm and cozy environment and not have to do it in a sterile exam room. We miss them no matter what, but somehow a gentle goodbye seems like a loving last gift we can give them.

 

Warmly,

Dr. Logan
