About Angel Vet
At Angel Vet we know that pets are family. They deserve honor and respect throughout their lifetime and especially at the end of life. We believe that in home-euthanasia is very important because it provides a peaceful passing for them and a less stressful situation for the family as well. At the end of a pet’s lifetime, they may be very sick, weak, painful, or confused. Many pets are experiencing all of these. When it is time to say good-bye, they should be in the comfort of home where the sights, sounds, and smells are familiar to them.
About the Home Euthanasia Process
For your pet to experience the most peaceful transition at the end of life, we will follow the following process:
Dr. Alexis will come to your home as previously discussed during the phone consultation. She will help your pet begin to relax with the first shot. The first shot is a pain medication, which allows your pet to relax and relieves any pain or anxiety. While your pet relaxes, it is important for you to be close to them. We will then take a few moments to confirm the cremation choice, sign the forms, and take care of the payment.
When your pet is ready, and when all family members are ready, Dr. Alexis will give the shot of euthanasia medicine. This shot puts your pet to sleep in the most humane and peaceful way possible. After your pet has passed, we will transport your pet immediately. They will be cremated at All Pets Great and Small Cremation Service in Mesa.
A clay paw print will be crafted for you by AngelVet prior to transporting your pet from the home. Also, if you choose individual cremation service, we will deliver your pet’s ashes to you in 2 to 3 weeks.
When we accept a pet into our lives, we know that one day we will have to decide when the time is right to relieve them from pain or illness. If your pet has been diagnosed with an incurable illness that takes away the quality of life, or if your pet’s day is full of senior moments where they are confused or sad, then it may be time to end their suffering with in home euthanasia. You may see that your pet has more bad days than good days, or you may be seeing the following changes:
- Your Pet has lost interest in food
- Your Pet is no longer able to go to the bathroom without accidents or falling down
- Your Pet is no longer greeting you when you come home
- Your Pet is no longer patrolling the yard or protecting their territory the way they once did
- Your Cat has stopped grooming themselves
- Your Dog no longer wags it’s tail
- Your Pet isolates themselves from the people or other pets in the home
If you know this difficult decision is approaching, give Angel Vet a call now so that you can prepare for the process. We will answer your questions about home euthanasia and discuss cremation and end of life service choices. By learning more about your pet’s condition and illness, we can also help you decide whether it is truly time to say good bye.

Dr. Veena Alexis DVM
Dr. Veena Alexis earned her bachelor’s degree in Microbiology from Coloardo State University in 1996. She continued on to earn her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from the College of Veterinary Medicine at CSU in 2001. She has practiced in the Phoenix area for the past 15 years.
Through the years, Dr. Veena like many veterinarians, has had numerous requests from families for in home euthanasia. Oftentimes, there would be a scheduling conflict leaving her unable to leave the clinic due to the appointment schedule. In those instances where she was able to visit the home, she witnessed the amazing difference between putting pets to sleep at home as opposed to putting them to sleep in the clinic setting. There is a certain calm that surrounds the families and the pets, knowing that they are not frightened or anxious because they are at home. Although it is a difficult calling, it is also a privilege to be able to end the pain and suffering that pets endure at the end of life.
I had to put my kitty Sheba down today after 16 years, Dr Veena and her assistant wre very professional and compassionate, didn’t make us feel rushed in our goodbyes. Hoping I don’t need their services anytime soon but if I did I wouldn’t hesitate to call them. It was so much more wonderful doing this at home than the vets office, too stressful on a sick animal to transport. I will recommend them to anyone needing it’s and thank you so much Dr Veena and also your assistant whose name I didn’t catch for getting us through this.

Making the decision to put my beloved Tasha down was the hardest thing I had to do. I was so worried about the whole process but dr. Veena already had great reviews so I trusted her and I am glad I did. She was so kind when she first got to our house, and passionate. She gave us all the time we needed with Tasha. She explained everything she was about to do and answered any questions we had. and once the process started it was like she wasn’t there, she did everything so calmly & took her time. She gave each of us hugs & let us knew everything would be okay. She really helped us through this tough time and even checked up on me after a few days. If you need someone to help your animal get to the other side, Dr. Veena is an amazing person for the job.

We had to say goodbye to our beloved Rotties, Colt and Rugar. We are now left with memories of many years of faithful companionship. We will never be able to put into words how compassionate Dr. Judy and Julie were in assisting our family dogs to a final resting place. Our dogs were a member of our family and we appreciate how professional and caring the staff at Angel Veterinary Services were. It gave us great comfort to know their transition was in our home and they were surrounded by love. Again THANK YOU

This was one of the hardest and saddest things we had to do, but with the service that Angel Vet provides it was far more peaceful than going to the regular vet. Being able to say our last good-byes to our sweet girl in her favorite spot in the yard (on a Sunday) was priceless.
Words can’t express how grateful we are for the in-home service you provide. We would highly recommend this service for anyone who faces this difficult situation.

Dr. Veena is one of the most caring and skilled veterinarians in Arizona. When it was time to put down our beloved Labrador retriever Dr. Veena came to our house and it made all the difference in the world. She put the whole family at ease and let us focus on our pet while she performed the euthanasia. It was not easy, but we truly believe our pet was comfortable and calm.

I can’t begin to say enough good things about this wonderful woman. She showed nothing but love, kindness and respect for us and for Morgan. If you are in the Phoenix area and ever need this service, this vet is incredible. Morgan hated riding in the car and hated more than anything going to the vet’s office. We knew the end was nearing and I didn’t want her in pain or to suffer any longer than she had to. Dr. Veena drove across town and was here to make Morgan’s passing very peaceful. This vet is an angel.
