What does the day of an in-home euthanasia veterinarian look like?

At Gentle Pet Crossing we are a full service pet funeral home. That means that clients call 1 phone number for all the services we provide. One of our team members will answer the clients’ questions and schedule the appointment. Once we have scheduled the appointment you will go to the clients home to do the procedure. Once we receive the pet, we take care of the rest. You don’t need to notify their clinic of the passing, or follow up with any keepsake requests, or spend your time or pay someone to deliver ashes. We handle everything for the client. So, you can fill your day with euthanasia appointments and spend your time on your area of expertise.
 Veterinarians like you are your own boss, and let us know what your availability is. You work when and where you want, so in many ways, your day will be what you want it to be. But typically, you will work fewer hours and have fewer administrative tasks, all while growing your income and having a flexible schedule.
 
 Typically a full-time in-home euthanasia veterinarian might provide service for 10-12 clients per week, or about two per day on average. So, you might start your day by reviewing your calendar to confirm whether any last-minute changes were made or new appointments were scheduled. 
 
 Each appointment typically takes about 30-45 minutes, with 30 minutes added on either side for travel. This allows for ample time for you to assess the pet’s condition, speak with the owners, provide time for them to grieve their loss, and transport the deceased pet to its after-care arrangements.
 
Why Gentle Pet Crossing:
Gentle Pet Crossing wants to empower vets like you to fall back in love with being a veterinarian again. Our experience is that veterinarians get licensed and after 5-7 years you reach the unavoidable burnout due to the demanding hours, daunting loans, and the rigidity of a traditional veterinary career.
 
 We empower compassionate veterinarians like you to control their own schedule and grow their income while avoiding the administrative burden of traditional solo practices. More importantly, we enable you to make a difference in the lives of pets and their families when they need us the most. We do this by booking your business, scheduling your appointments, processing client payments, facilitating client communication, and reducing your administrative workload.
 
 Our experienced home-euthanasia veterinarians are available to help and support you, from your first in-home euthanasia appointment to your everyday client interaction.
 
 We’ve earned an incredible reputation among veterinary practitioners and pet owners alike. This credibility instantly boosts your practice as a certified veterinary provider on our platform, empowering you to grow your income while maintaining a schedule that works for your life.
 
 Gentle Pet Crossing does not charges you anything to join, and you are free to deactivate your profile at any time. We have no monthly fees associated with our company. At the end of the day, you as the veterinarian want to help give pets a peaceful passage and we want to continue to treat them with respect and dignity throughout their afterlife care journey.
 
You can also expect the following from us:
Conveniently located sanctuaries for you to deliver the pets to us or we can pick up from your home.
A calm, respectful work environment
Opportunity to expand and grow with our company.
A surprisingly gratifying role when you see the joy on our clients faces because they have been able to trust us with their loved one.
