In this section, you can read our personal stories and how each of our life journey has brought us to  this very special niche.

Dr. Annie

It made me so sad so many times to euthanize a pet in the hospital when I saw the pet was scared...  So I decided to make this my gift to families.  Being able to say goodbye at home.  Being peaceful.  Providing real care and compassion.  Providing a stress-free transition for the baby...  This is why I created this service.  It is for you.  It is for the pet who has been in your life and has given you so much love.  So that you can say goodbye to him the way you want to.  To allow you to be able to give your baby this final gift before his next journey...  May this difficult last journey be easier for...

Dr. Lily

Dr. Lily's story...  I was born Southern California and grew up in a small city named Paramount. Growing up my home was always full of pets. My childhood pets included pigeons, cats, parakeets, dogs, bunnies, hamsters, and fish. It was this early human-animal bond that ignited my interest in animal medicine... Read more...

Dr. Julie

As a child I collected injured bugs, turtles, snakes, and lizards and strolled around with them in my doll buggy (no pun intended!) rather than the intended dolls... When I met Dr. Annie, I realized that we had so much in common and there was an instant desire for us to work together.  So I have been working for this wonderful company on a part-time basis since then. I realized that being able to put your sweetheart to sleep in the comfort of your own home is such a gift and I am so blessed to be able to help in this capacity. I have always been a compassionate and caring person and I love that I... Read more...

Dr. Daniel

Hi! I am Dr. Daniel.  I was born and raised in Southern California and since the very beginning I have always had a special bond with animals.  There has always been a connection that I have felt with them that I believe is innate.  No one else in my family has this propensity and so I know that my life’s work is meant to be with animals.  I found that helping pets at the end of their lives was a calling.  What keeps me motivated is knowing that I am helping those kindred spirits that I connect to so readily, pass on in a peaceful manner surrounded by family and loved ones… Read more...

Dr. Bridget

Dr. Lis

Since I was 7 years old, with my first pet,  I wanted to become a veterinarian.  I have personally understood what it means to go through the loss of a friend and companion pet, since I experienced it with my first baby Champanhe, who was with me for 17 years. Still today, I enjoy God’s gift of being a pet owner.  I care so much for what we do here at Home Pet Euthanasia, and I am honored to be intimately involved in helping pets and their families at this great time of need.

Dr. Heather

Dr. Heather was born and raised in Southern California.  She graduated with honors from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in the Caribbean and completed her clinical year at the University of Minnesota. Prior to joining our team, Dr. Heather worked in both general practice and emergency. She came to us in hopes to help families find peace when deciding to put their furry loved ones to rest. Dr. Heather personally knows how disheartening it can be to lose a pet and hopes that she can make this difficult decision the most peaceful it can be for you and your family.  Read more...

Dr. Jenny

Hi there! My name is Dr. Jenny. Like most veterinarians, I have been obsessed with animals for as long as I could remember...

Tracy

The question I seem to get a lot of the time is “how can I do this job” (hearing about the loss of a pet every day.) My answer is this, “I can do it every day because I truly know I am helping. I treat every pet owner just how I would want to be treated. I love being able to care for families and their babies. I never get tired of hearing and talking to families who are of need for our service... Read more...
