Say goodbye to your pet
Meet Dr. Metten
Dr. Greg Metten is an experienced veterinarian who began caring for pets in 1977. He is known for his gentle manner and his keen diagnostic skills.
Dr. Metten has been told throughout his career how families prefer to have their pet pass at home. Now, it is possible to receive personal end of life counseling to help you through the difficult decision that you are making.
When it is the right time for you and your pet, Dr. Metten will come to your home for a gentle and painless passing.
When the time is right
The decision to euthanize your beloved pet is one of the most difficult you will ever have to make for your pet. Unfortunately, only you can make the final decision because you know your pet better than anyone else.
It's my pleasure to help others through this difficult time.
“I am 82 years old and have gone through numerous medical traumas and two surgeries. During all those experiences I have never had a doctor with even a fraction of the kindness and empathy of Dr. Metten. You will never know how much I appreciate your care of my pet, Kiki. Thank you so much.”
“Just a short note to say thanks for the compassionate and professional manner in the way you helped send our boy Jesse on his way. Your calm and caring approach allowed us to make a very difficult and emotional time less painful. Your follow up by means of personally delivering Jesse’s cremated remains and sending us a caring card speaks highly of your dedication to your customers and, more importantly, your devotion to the animals you relieve of their issues.
Thanks again.

“Last night we had to let our favorite, most special cat, Tony, go. We are devastated. But we found solace that we did not have to put him into the cat carrier and drive him to the vet. Instead, we found Dr. Metten who provides this last service for animals in your home. Dr. Metten was so compassionate. He explained every step and took his time. It is so special that such a service exists which makes one of the hardest parts of your pet owning experience less painful.
Tony went peacefully on my bed, his favorite place, surrounded by my son, husband and myself. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Metten to anyone! He was just the best and so sensitive to all our needs and questions. He gave us as much time as we needed.
Thank you Dr. Metten and also thank you to your sweet, nice, compassionate staff.

“Thank you so much for helping j.lo go to her eternal home peacefully last night. My husband and I have talked and it was the best thing we could have done for her. You were very professional and compassionate and made it an easier process for all of us.
Thank you again. We were so glad to have this as an option and would recommend you highly.”
Farewell My Old Friend
By John McGuire
You looked me in the eye; said “It’s all right.”
Time to send me on my way.
Don’t be sad.
I’m just glad.
This old dog has had its day.
Farewell my old friend.
Don’t mind if I cry.
Grieving’s just a way to say “goodbye,”
To someone that I’ve loved and lost; that’s why.
Here’s to all those good times we spent together;
Pulling on that leash and running free.
Rainy days, lonely nights,
You were always there to share with me.
Farewell my old friend.
Don’t mind if I cry.
Grieving’s just a way to say “goodbye,”
To someone that I’ve loved and lost; that’s why.
So long my old pal.
Thanks for being true.
Giving back the love I gave to you.
There’s another dog who’s waiting for some, too.
I’ll pass it on and love ‘em just like you.
