Companion Home Vet Care

Companion Home Vet Care is a veterinary housecall service that provides compassionate care and in-home euthanasia for pets. Knowing when it's time to say "goodbye" to our beloved pets can be a very difficult decision. Aging pets often have severe arthritis or other underlying disease processes that significantly impact their quality of life. Dr. Cross can help guide owners through the decision process on whether to pursue palliative care or whether it's time to consider euthanasia. Home euthanasia minimizes stress for both pets and owners. Instead of experiencing the anxiety of car rides followed by waiting rooms at the vet clinic, pets can stay in their own familiar environment with their family by their side. A sedative is given first to help pets relax. Once the sedative has taken effect, euthanasia is administered and pets can pass on peacefully, surrounded by the people who love them. Body aftercare is a service provided by Companion Home Vet Care, in which your pet's remains are transported to a pet crematorium. Owners can choose private cremation (cremains are returned in an urn) or communal cremation. A paw print is made for any pet when requested by owners. Additional information can be provided for owners who may need grief counseling during this difficult time
