In-home Euthanasia

Dr. Nagel knows how hard saying goodbye to pets that have such special places in our hearts. She is here to offer them the compassion and dignity to pass peacefully at home with their loved ones. When Dr. Nagel arrives she’ll spend time to walk you through the process and answer any questions you may have. If after care services are elected, Dr. Nagel will kindly transport them for this. For the larger pets, she will ask a family member to assist carrying them to her car.

If you have additional questions about when to know it’s time, the process, or grief support please visit our resource section or contact Dr. Nagel for additional information.

Please note, Dr. Nagel does not work with an assistant. Due to that, if you have a pet who can be protective/aggressive with strangers, she may need to refer you to someone who has the additional staff support to handle this more complex situation.

Also please note, Dr. Nagel works solo. She will do everything in her power to never have to cancel an appointment. However, if she ever has an unexpected emergency or illness of her own, there is a chance for cancellation. She will provide you with information for other service providers in the unforeseen chance of this happening.

Includes ink paw or nose print.

Includes a locket of hair.
