Stillwaters Vet Care and In Home Pet Euthanasia - Skaneateles, NY
With over three years of experience in providing compassionate in-home pet hospice and palliative care, I understand how important it is for both pets and their families to feel comfortable during such challenging times. As a Licensed Veterinarian and Certified Hospice and Palliative Care Veterinarian (CHPV), I specialize in ensuring that your beloved pets, whether they are dogs, cats, birds, or even small mammals like chinchillas and hamsters, receive the dignified care they deserve. My team and I are dedicated to creating a peaceful environment for your pets, allowing them to spend their final moments surrounded by the love of their family.
In addition to my medical qualifications, which include certification from the Companion Animal Euthanasia Training Academy (CAETA) and membership in the International Association for Animal Hospice and Palliative Care (IAAHPC), I also offer environmentally responsible cremation options, memorial items, and pet loss counseling. This holistic approach allows families to navigate their grief while honoring the memories of their cherished companions. I am proud to be bonded, insured, and licensed, providing you with the peace of mind that you are working with a qualified professional.
I understand that these decisions are never easy, which is why I strive to offer flexible scheduling, including online consultations when necessary, to accommodate your family's needs. My mobile services allow me to travel within a broad radius to bring comfort directly to your home. If you’re ready to provide your pet with compassionate care and create a loving farewell, book me through Petworks today.

🦔 Compassionate In-Home Pet Euthanasia by Annette Otis
When the time comes to say goodbye, where it happens matters. Annette comes to your home so your dog or cat can pass peacefully in a familiar, loving environment — surrounded by the sights, smells, and people they know.
Annette provides gentle, respectful in-home pet euthanasia in Skaneateles, NY, serving pet parents throughout Onondaga County and surrounding areas including Syracuse, Auburn, Rome, Utica, Ithaca, Cortland, Oswego, Watertown, Canandaigua, Geneva. Each visit is paced entirely around you and your pet — there is no rush, no cold clinic setting, and no moment spent away from home.
What should I expect during Annette's visit?
When Annette arrives, they will take time to meet you and your pet, answer any questions you have, and ensure you feel comfortable before anything begins. There is no rush.
The visit typically has three stages. First, a sedative is administered to help your pet relax completely — most pets become calm and drowsy within a few minutes. Second, once your pet is fully at ease, the final medication is given. The process is gentle and painless, and your pet will simply drift off to sleep. Third, Annette will confirm the passing and give you as much time as you need to say goodbye. You are welcome to hold your pet, have family members present, or simply sit quietly together. The entire visit is guided entirely by you.
