“The Team at Loved was very kind and patient to me. I had scheduled multiple appointments and kept cancelling them because I wasn't ready to move forward when the time came. They were very gracious with me, and never made me feel bad about constantly changing my mind. Dr. Carrie did a quality-of-life assessment on my baby, and was able to get me 6 additional weeks with him. When the day came to finally let let him go, Dr. Carrie was very sympathetic and caring with my baby. I would definitely recommend Loved, and Dr. Carrie specifically, to anyone who is facing letting their fur baby go.”

“Dr. Carrie was wonderful and supportive through the process. I am glad we were able to have this done at home where our dog would be comfortable. Would definitely recommend and use again.”

“The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do was made a little easier and peaceful by Dr. Carrie’s care and reverence. Our dog was at peace and with his family on his “place” on the couch. It was gift to let him pass at home.”

“Dr. Schultz and the scheduling team at Loved did a great job of getting us set up for in home end of life services. We needed to schedule during a weekend and it was a holiday and they still responded back with their availability the following week and got us set up, which I greatly appreciated not having to wait to get it set.
While this is always a hard time, the process and communication was good from start to finish and let us know what to expect. Dr. Schultz personally returned our beloved pets memorialization to us shortly after to make sure everything was as expected. They also sent a lovely card to us. We appreciate all the compassion we received and definitely recommend.”

Questions
In-Home Pet Euthanasia FAQs
Real answers to questions we hear most often from Houston families.
Yes. In-home euthanasia performed by a licensed veterinarian is fully legal in Texas. Our veterinarians are licensed in the state of Texas. Our full-time Loved veterinarians are Certified Peaceful Euthanasia Veterinarians (CPEV).
Call our care team at (346) 680-1716 and we will tell you what is available for the Houston area.
We serve all of Houston and surrounding areas including Spring Branch, Garden Oaks, Oak Forest, The Heights, Uptown, Galleria, River Oaks, West University, Montrose, Downtown, Memorial Villages, and more. Not sure about your address? Just call us.
We coordinate cremation through a trusted partner. Families choose private cremation, which returns your pet's ashes to you, or Gentle Transportation, which does not return ashes. Our team handles the coordination, and you receive one invoice from Loved. Ashes and memorial items typically come back to our team within 7 to 10 days, and we keep you updated if anything takes longer.
This is one of the most common worries. Your veterinarian begins with a gentle sedative, given as a small injection just under the skin. It brings sleep, pain relief, and anxiety relief together. In about 5 to 10 minutes your pet feels drowsy and settles into sleep, and many pets snore softly. The sedation does not wear off during the visit, so nobody has to rush. Some pets react to the injection itself, and your veterinarian tells you so before beginning. Most families find the experience calmer and more peaceful than they expected.
Yes, and it is complimentary. Every family we serve in Houston can join our free online pet loss support group, led by a licensed veterinary social worker. We also leave each family with resources on how to connect for ongoing support. You are never left alone after we leave.
During a quality-of-life consultation, one of our veterinarians evaluates your pet's comfort, pain levels, appetite, mobility, and overall wellbeing. The goal is to help you make an informed, loving decision, with no pressure toward any particular outcome. We'll be honest with you, always.
