Who we are:
We are a small, dedicated team of experienced and honest people focused on making a meaningful impact. Our passion for the wellness of veterinarians and end-of-life care for companion animals inspired us to create a new company with a singular goal: to honor the human-animal bond by bringing peace, dignity, and compassion to pets and their families during one of life’s most difficult moments.
We offer gentle, in-home euthanasia services to families in the greater Chicago area — giving beloved pets the chance to pass in the comfort of their own homes, surrounded by familiar sights and smells as well as the people who love them most. We understand firsthand how important it is for both pets and their families to experience a peaceful, pain-free goodbye in a private, calm setting.
At the same time, we recognize the emotional toll this vital service can have on veterinary professionals. Providing end-of-life care is incredibly rewarding , but can also be extremely heavy. For this reason, our mission extends to supporting the wellness of the veterinary caregivers..
