A note from Dr. Chad Geri...
Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is already one of the most difficult things to endure. Pet euthanasia at home provides a safe and familiar environment in which to say goodbye to your pet, especially if they are fearful or stressed out by car rides or the atmosphere of a veterinary clinic. In addition to in-home euthanasia, I can also perform the procedure in your yard or in your pet's favorite place. Having lost several pets of my own over the years, I know just how hard it is, and so it is my primary goal during every euthanasia visit to make such a difficult time as peaceful as possible for both the owners and their pets. Here is what you can expect from such a visit.
I begin by sitting down with you to get some basic information for a medical record. This usually takes around 5 minutes, then we take care of payment. Next I will give your pet a sedative under the skin behind the neck (the same place where vaccines are given). Any injection can sting for a moment, but I've found that if your offer your pet a delicious treat such as peanut butter or cheese when the shot is administered, they are usually distracted enough that they barely notice. It takes just a second to give the injection, but it takes anywhere from 5-15 minutes for the sedative to take full effect, depending on the size of the pet. During this time, I will leave you alone with your pet as they fall asleep and just come back in occasionally to check on them. Once full sedation has been achieved, your pet will be in a very deep state of anesthesia. They will be completely unconscious, unaware of anything happening around them and incapable of feeling any pain or sensation.
At this point I will proceed with the euthanasia injection. This is done differently in different pets depending on size and other factors. You can choose to be present or to step out of the room if you prefer. I'm also able to take the sedated pet out to my vehicle and perform the procedure there if preferred. I will accommodate myself to your preferences.
Once the euthanasia has been done, you can spend more time with your pet if you wish. Once you're ready, I will take them away for cremation unless you've made your own arrangements. If I'm taking them, I will cover them with a blanket (which I provide), then I will carry them out to my vehicle on a stretcher. I can carry any pet up to about 90 lbs by myself, but will need assistance for pets larger than this. If you have opted for an individual cremation, we will contact you to arrange pick up of the ashes once we have them ready for you, usually within two weeks of the visit.
Our Pricing

The following prices include all charges, including the housecall fee. Please note that ashes are returned with a private cremation only. With a communal cremation, pets are cremated as a group and their ashes are scattered on a private family farm in rural Johnson County. You are also welcome to make your own arrangements for burial or cremation, if you prefer. We are unable to offer cremation services for pets >150 lbs, so you would need to make your own arrangements in this case, such as arranging for a pet crematorium to pick up from your home.

About Us
About Dr. Geri
Dr. Chad Geri (pronounced "Geary") was born and raised in Sydney, Australia, and moved to the United States in 2001 with his wife, Kristen, who is a native of Manhattan, Kansas. He completed his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University in 2009, and after practicing as a veterinarian in the state of Washington decided to move back to Kansas to establish Compassionate Care Mobile Veterinary Service in 2011.
Our Philosophy
Dr. Geri feels that genuine compassion is the most important component of excellent veterinary care. His conviction is that his medical expertise is most completely available to clients by being truly present with them through careful listening and genuine care for them and their pets. This is challenging in a busy small animal clinic, and Dr. Geri feels that the more traditional practice of veterinarians visiting patients in their homes enables him to better provide the care and attention his clients deserve.
