Compassionate End-Of-Life Veterinary Care
Our pets love us unconditionally, bring laughter and joy into our lives and become part of our families. Our final gift to them is to provide stress-free, peaceful good-bye, all within the comfort of your own home. My purpose and sincerest intent is to provide in-home pet euthanasia service, support and guidance for you, your family and your pet. – Kaitlyn Hemsley, DVM
In-Home Euthanasia
Peaceful, stress-free passing surrounded by family and friends
Why choose in-home euthanasia?
- Allows friends and family to be present
- Eliminates the need to transport your pet, which can be difficult and/or distressful
- Grieving in private
- Enables you to set an atmosphere (candles, music, pictures, etc) that is right for you and your family
- Ability to choose location (favorite bed, outdoors, etc)
- Home burial convenience
- Privacy afterwards
- Other pets can be present, if desired
Saying Good-Bye
Saying goodbye is difficult decision and one that doesn’t have to be made alone.
How do I know when it's time?
You may be preparing for the future or you may know that it’s time to say good-bye to your beloved pet. My purpose and sole reason for starting House Call Vet RVA is to provide in-home, private end-of-life care in the comfort of your own home.
