Phone Consultation

Phone Consultation


If you know this difficult decision is approaching, give us a phone call at Rainbow Crossings so we can help you can prepare for the process.


I will answer all of your questions about in home euthanasia and discuss aftercare including cremation.

By learning more about your pets condition and illness, we can also help you decide whether it is truly time to say goodbye.



Things to think about for this consult include:

  • Is your pet able to eat and drink?

  • Is your pet able to urinate and defecate without soiling his or herself?

  • Is your pet in pain (crying or vocalizing)?
  • Is your pet able to rest/sleep comfortably?
  • Does your pet have difficulty breathing?
  • Does your pet greet or recognize you?
  • Are there more "bad days" than "good days"?

The answers to these questions will give us a fairly good insight into the day-to-day living and quality of life.

    I grew up as an animal lover, always 'knowing' that I would become a veterinarian. I truly believe that my calling in life is to 'serve' animals. I consider that a blessing as not all know of the 'animal bond' that many of us experience. I earned my Bachelor of Science at Adelphi University in 1987 and continued on to receive my Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Cornell University in 1991. Since then, having practiced full time small animal medicine on Long Island, I have found a special calling for in home euthanasia as the last gift to give to our special four legged children at their end of life.
