Compassionate euthanasia has been a passion of Dr. Susan Rodgers since she started practicing. She has always worked with her clients to make the hardest day of pet ownership as peaceful and calm as possible. After living in the Dade City area for a few years, Dr. Rodgers started to realize that many of her friends and clients were prevented from at-home euthanasia because of where they live.
WHY IN-HOME EUTHANASIA?
At-home euthanasia allows for a less stressful experience. Most pets are not easy to move at the end of life and are fearful and stressed in some way. A large dog may be in pain and unable to walk. It could seem too difficult or even impossible to get your pet into a car or carrier to transport them to a veterinary hospital. Cats may act aggressively when we attempt to move them when they are uncomfortable. Pets are most at ease in their own home at the end of their lives.
