If you're reading this, you're probably facing one of the hardest days you'll have with your pet. I was there two weeks ago with our cat Potato. Here's what I can tell you about Dr. Lew. She answers fast. I had three home euthanasia vets on my list. I texted Dr. Lew first, and before I'd even started writing to the second one, she had replied. She doesn't rush you. We scheduled a few days out so the whole family could be there. She arrived on time with everything ready, then let us set the pace. Every part of it was thought through; we felt supported and cared for the entire time. And I didn't think I'd want any keepsakes. I was wrong. We have a clay paw print that's going in our backyard with his ashes, plus ink paw prints, nose prints, and some of his fur. I'm really glad we have them. A week and a half later, a card from Dr. Lew arrived, at the same time as Potato's ashes; again, we feel seen and supported in our loss. read more

Saying goodbye to Bijou was the most painful experience of my life. He was my first dog, and I have never experienced a loss this difficult. Dr. Lew was the most compassionate person we could have chosen to help guide us through such an incredibly painful time. She had the perfect energy, empathy, and level of engagement throughout the entire process. She was kind, thoughtful, and deeply attentive to both our needs and Bijou's. It truly felt like we had a trusted family friend with us during one of the hardest moments imaginable. I cannot recommend Dr. Lew highly enough. If you are facing one of the most difficult decisions a pet owner can make, having someone as compassionate and caring as Dr. Lew by your side makes all the difference and allows you to be fully present with your loved one. read more

Sadly I had to put down another cat. Thankfully Dr. Lew was able to help me. This one was a kitten I found outside several months ago who was rejected by his mother and came up to me "asking for help". His health declined rapidly in a day for some reason, and I knew going to a vet was not going to help along with the added stress it would cause. So I reached out to Dr. Lew and she was so accommodating. I am so grateful to her for taking very good care of Artie and his passing at home along with his aftercare. Thank you so much Dr. Lew! You are an angel! read more

Dr Lew helped my baby pass over the rainbow bridge recently, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience given the devastating circumstances.

When it was time to say goodbye to our beloved cat of over 11 years, Dr. Lew was the perfect fit for our family's needs. Our cat started to decline pretty quickly, and my daughter who lives in SCAL wanted to come home to say goodbye, but could only stay for 24 hours to do so. These two things meant we needed to find someone fast and who also showed some compassion around our stressful situation. Dr. Lew responded to my outreach quickly, and was able to find time for us within my daughter's timeline. She shared on the phone consult and in her email an overview of the process and the decisions we needed to make. When she arrived, she gave us all the time we needed as we said our goodbyes before she began the process. She gently explained to us what would happen, and waited for all of us to say our last farewells after the injections had sent her on her way. We did not feel rushed or pressured at any time, and she treated us with dignity and respect. This is never an easy decision, but Dr. Lew was the consummate professional during a very stressful and sad situation. read more

On April 23, 2026, we made the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to my dearest Cookie, my beloved 13-year-old cat, through euthanasia. Around noon, a gentle and kind doctor came to our home. I don't know why, but in Dr. Lew's compassionate and understanding eyes, I somehow felt that Cookie would be in good hands. I held my Cookie in my arms. To avoid frightening him, Dr. Lew quietly kept the syringe hidden in her pocket before gently giving the first injection. I carefully wrapped Cookie in his favorite blanket, and then came the second injection... and he was gone. To comfort me, Dr. Lew tied a small tuft of Cookie's fur with a red ribbon and placed it in a tiny heart-shaped box she had brought for me. Thank you, Dr. Lew. I will forever cherish this final farewell. Thank you for giving me so much comfort and peace, and for accompanying Cookie through the last journey of his life. Happy Mother's Day. read more

Yesterday I had to say goodbye to my 17 year old cat Cleo. I had a bad experience with home euthanasia in the past so I was a little concerned. That all went away the minute we met Dr. Lew. Dr. Lew is so compassionate, respectful and gentle. She made Cleo, my wife and myself feel at peace knowing it was time. As sad as it is to say good bye to our furry kids she made it a beautiful loving experience that I will never forget. I will recommend her to everyone when that awful time comes and you need a true professional that cares. Thank you so much Dr. Lew, much love from the Romiti family. read more

It was an amazing experience. She made the whole thing very pleasant and she was very compassionate and loving. Did not rush the process at all and she lets you process your grief in the moment. I feel like I even rushed her at points. Dr. Lew went above and beyond read more

Beloved Cat Home Euthanasia - Is feeding our orange boy his last treat - Veterinarians Near Me

My sweet cat Latte's urn has returned, and I want to make sure to remember to leave a good review for Dr. Lew's service that helped lessen the trauma associated with sudden deaths. This is my first time using in-home euthanasia. Dr. Lew was extremely quick to respond to emails, texts, and calls. She provided a call to go over an assessment of my cat's situation and also thoroughly explained the process of what to expect. I loved how transparent she was about each step. I also really appreciated that she held hope for the possibility that Latte could pull through with his medications and offered to reschedule/cancel if needed. Unfortunately, death had its own plans, and it was just unavoidable. We scheduled an appt rather quick which was extremely helpful considering how sickness and death just comes so abruptly, especially with cats. During Latte's final hours, it was clear that he was struggling to hold on for a couple more hours. I reached out to Dr. Lew who so very kindly made an accommodation to arrive a little earlier as soon as she could. Dr. Lew's gentle approach, unconditional compassion, emotional support, allowing all the space for grieving, and working at your pace made the process MUCH less traumatizing. Her voice is also super soothing! While grief will naturally follow, I can vouch that having the opportunity and privilege to do an in-home euthanasia made the transition a lot easier to handle. Dr. Lew provided ink prints for paws and nose, clay paw print, but my favorite thing in the world were the fur clippings. There was also an option for a private cremation and to upgrade to the urn of your choice if you wanted, which she provided directions for. Thank you to Dr. Lew forever for this ethical service and for holding such a safe space during a delicate time. I cannot thank you enough for making the final moment as peaceful as possible, for both Latte and me. Dr. Lew is also a highly qualified and certified veterinarian, so putting my trust in her was very easy. I hope everyone who is considering this service reaches out to Dr. Lew- you won't regret this final offering of love to your fur baby. read more

She is compassionate, kind, caring, and makes this difficult journey much easier for both kitty and parents. Dr. Lew 's method is gentle and peaceful. I have had to help many kitty children pass in my lifetime, and I can truthfully say that my experience with Dr. Lew was the most incredible and peaceful transition I have ever experienced. I held my a sweet girl in my arms, wrapped in her favorite blanket throughout the entire process. She did not feel any pain, nor given any reason to feel fear. Dr. Lew gave me and my other kitty child all of the time we needed to say goodbye to our beloved family member. She didn't move from one step to the next until I said I was ready. When my darling child was gone, she allowed me to hold her in my arms and cry over her until I was ready. Dr. Lew then allowed me to place my sweet girl into a lovely kitty bed with a blanket covering her body, but not her head. She looked liked she was peacefully sleeping, as Dr. Lew carried her out. Dr. Lew took care of everything, from euthanasia, having the remains cremated, placed in my chosen urn, and then delivering my baby back to me. She even made beautiful imprints of her little feet as a keepsake. If you must help your kitty child leave this Earth, there is absolutely no one better than Dr. Lew. To be able to think back on that day and have peaceful memories is the most incredible gift anyone could give me. Dr. Lew gave me that precious gift. read more

When my cat was getting close to passing, we called a different vet who wasn't able to come until a couple of days later. We knew our boy wouldn't make it that long and so we were incredibly fortunate to find Dr. Lew. We've had to put two cats to sleep at home before, and Dr. Lew was by far the most patient, compassionate, and warm person to help our boy Milo pass on. It was the most peaceful passing I could have hoped for. He literally fell asleep and started snoring. Dr. Lew explained every step of the process and gave us all the time we needed. Dr. Lew will be my first call when the time comes for any of my other pets, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who needs help with their fur baby to cross the rainbow bridge. read more
