Why families choose in-home
A clinic goodbye is not the only option.
Most families have never heard of in-home euthanasia until they need it. Once they learn it exists, they rarely choose anything else.
From Dr. Dolian
"When I lost my cat Sophie after 17 years, I sedated her at home on my lap, outside in the sun, in her favorite spot. She experienced no stress. I believe she only felt my love for her in those final moments."
— Dr. Amanda Dolian, DVM
Why she started Loving Goodbyes
Dr. Dolian has been through this herself. She knows what it feels like to love an animal for years, to dread the clinic, and to want the last moments to be peaceful. That experience is why she started Loving Goodbyes.
