Gentle, in-home euthanasia so your pet can rest where they feel safest — in their own bed, in their favorite sunny spot, surrounded by the people who love them.

There is no waiting room and no rush. We move at whatever pace feels right for your family.
Schedule online any time, or call and we will find a time together. Same-day visits are often possible.
Dr. Simer contacts you ahead of time to answer any remaining questions and confirm the details.
A calming sedative and anesthesia are given by injection, so your pet drifts comfortably to sleep in your arms.
Once your pet is fully anesthetized and feeling nothing, a second injection slows the breathing and stops the heart.
Your pet is retrieved respectfully for cremation if you wish. Ashes are returned to you within 7 days.
You will have a complete total before the visit. Nothing is added afterward.
A licensed veterinarian comes to your home and properly sedates and anesthetizes your pet before the procedure.
No communal mixing of ashes. Returned in an urn with your pet's name, along with a paw impression, a locket of hair, and a cremation certificate.
Respectful retrieval and care. Ashes are returned to the earth or held in an ossuary, rather than returned to you.
If you would prefer to lay your pet to rest at home, we will help you prepare them with dignity. Call to discuss.
We accept cash, credit card, Venmo, and Cash App at the time of the visit.
We work with established local crematories and will walk you through the options without any pressure.
In their own words, from some of the families we have helped.
Mr. Simer got Buddy to lay back down next to me and calmly explained what was going to happen.
Having the option for a peaceful, dignified passing in the comfort of our backyard made all the difference.
There are not enough words to explain how caring, thoughtful and professional Robert was.
He made the whole process calm and peaceful for my whiskey boy and family.
Dr. Simer was able to come to our home on short notice to give our big boy a compassionate and peaceful passing.
He was attentive to both my cat and me, who was experiencing the loss of my pet.
My Woody peacefully transitioned from this life at home with us.
The vet and staff treated our situation with the most grace and dignity.
We could feel that he cared for her and he did his best to make it a painless experience.
We travel the region every day across McLennan, Bell, Bosque, Coryell, Falls, Hill, Williamson, Milam, Limestone, Navarro, and Freestone counties. If your town is not listed, call — we very likely come to you.
I have spent more than thirty years caring for animals, and I have come to believe that the last visit matters as much as every one before it.
Bringing that care into your home changes it completely. There is no car ride, no cold exam table, no strangers coming in and out. Your pet stays where they feel safest, and you get to simply be with them — which is, in the end, the only thing that matters that day.
If you are not sure whether it is time, call me. That conversation is part of the job too, and there is never a charge for it.
Miss y'all.
This is the hardest question there is, and there is rarely one clear moment. Most families look at the things their pet has always loved — eating, greeting them at the door, moving comfortably, resting without pain — and ask how many are still there. If you would like to talk it through, call me. I am glad to help, with no obligation to schedule anything.
We start by talking, and I answer any questions. Your pet then receives a sedative injection so they fall into a deep, comfortable sleep — most simply relax in their bed or in your lap. Once they are fully anesthetized and feeling nothing, I give the second injection. It is quiet and quick, and you can stay beside them the whole time.
Yes, and many families choose to include them. Other pets often seem to understand what has happened, and it can help them settle afterward. There is no right answer — do what feels right for your household.
Often the same day. Real availability appears when you schedule online, so you can see actual openings for the next several days. If nothing works or you need us urgently, please call.
With private cremation, ashes are returned within 7 days, in an urn with your pet's name, along with a paw impression, a locket of hair, and a cremation certificate.
We accept cash, credit card, Venmo, and Cash App, handled at the time of the visit.
Schedule online to see the next available times, or call and we will take care of the rest.
