Dr. Maggie's Mobile Euthanasia Services

01/07/2025

Making end of life decisions for our beloved pets is something we would prefer to never have to do. However, pet owners are faced with considering these decisions at some point during the lifetime of their furry friends. Sometimes we start thinking more about end of life decisions after a heart breaking diagnosis, such as organ failure or cancer. Other times it is due to aging changes or dementia. Whatever the reason, being prepared for how you would like to say good-bye to your four-legged best friend can help prevent suffering for them and reduce having to make decisions at a highly emotional and distressing time. While in home euthanasia is not appropriate in every situation, more and more pet parents are seeking this for end of life care. Most in home providers have very limited ability to help on an emergency basis where help is either needed immediately or within a few hours. If the in home experience is a priority, then planning ahead and allowing even a couple of days to get scheduled is recommended.

Did you know that this week is National Veterinary Technicians Week? I would like to say a big thank you to all the registered vet techs, vet techs, vet nurses, vet assistants, kennel assistants and receptionists. These are the people that make vet clinics and services work and I can honestly say I would not be able to get through my days without them. An extra special shout out to Tara, my assistant. I have worked with Tara through the years both in clinic and now as my office assistant. She honors and understands our relationships with our pets. I know she does her best to listen and help schedule these appointments we wish we never had to make. So if you get a chance, post a quick thank you or maybe a picture of a beloved pet for her to see! Pictured here is my Susan. Yes, she generally always looks that serious.

Gone, but not forgotten. I routinely find myself sharing stories about my old girl Bess and laughing about her quirks and habits. I can still picture her sitting primly, expectantly wagging her tail and intensely trying to direct my next moves with her light blue eyes like she was here yesterday. What single thing do you miss most about your fur friend? - Dr. Maggie

Why you might choose Aqua Cremation:
-Flameless.
-Zero emissions, no burning of fossil fuels.
-Uses 90% less energy than flame cremation.
-1/10th of the environmental impact of flame-based cremation.
-Families get 20% more ashes returned.

Tranquil Tides Pet Aquamation offers several urn packages, including custom picture engraving. Additional options are offered to capture memories with an ink paw print, hair clipping keepsake, and a Pawpals Paw Print Keepsake.

Meet Tara! Tara has been working with Dr. Maggie doing her clerical work, answering phones and scheduling appointments since August 2023. Prior to this Tara worked for several years helping to care for your pets on the clinic side of Veterinary medicine. She understands that no one wants to make the phone calls she receives and aims to be there for you in your sensitive time of need. Tara is married with two children and enjoys spending her spare time on their small farm with their menagerie of animals and showing her Labradors.

As I enter into my second year of business, I have been able to spend some time reflecting and remembering the families and patients that I have met and helped over the past 13 months. I continue to hold you in my thoughts as I know grief does not go away in weeks, months or even years. I have recently become a Certified Peaceful Euthanasia Veterinarian as a continued commitment to providing the most peaceful and loving good-bye for your beloved fur-friends. - Dr. Maggie
