Pet Euthanasia at Home San Antonio
A Little Bit About Me
Hello all, my name is Dr. Jerrod Killian and I’m a retired U.S. Army Veterinarian. I’ve always loved dogs including my Golden Retriever Jesse that traveled the world with me.
Having to let Jesse go due to chronic illness truly crushed me. We buried her next to the cabin my wife, three sons and I built.
QUALITY OF LIFE ASSESSMENT AND DISCUSSION In-Home Consultation
Dr. Killian will drive to your home and perform a Quality of Life Assessment. Key facets of your pet’s condition will be assessed and discussed including appetite, potty control, mobility, activity, comfort, sleep, and overall Quality of Life.
Physical Examination This will include a Nose-to-Tail evaluation to help assess mobility, pain, or other conditions that degrade Quality of Life.

Why use a home euthanasia service?
Pets are more relaxed in their own homes, in the comfort of their own bed, surrounded by families they love. Compare this to the stress and fear often associated with a car ride and a busy veterinary clinic.
When do I know it’s time?
There’s usually not a perfect answer to this question. If your pet is clearly suffering from a debilitating disease such as severe arthritis, where the quality of life is poor, then the decision may be clearer. Often though, it’s an overall Quality of Life decision.
How to prepare for a gentle passage?
Feel free to feed a favorite meal (if they can still enjoy it). Select a place where you would prefer the euthanasia to take place. For example, we can perform the euthanasia on a favorite doggy bed.
