Compassionate Mobile Euthanasia Across Greater Vancouver
We are here to offer professional end-of-life veterinary care, consultation, and cremation services for your much-loved companion, in your own home, when you need it.
We humans love our animal companions infinitely. All that love brings joy to our lives, but it also makes it so hard when the time comes to say goodbye. Dr. Jeff Berkshire and the team of veterinarians at Lifting Stars Veterinary Homecare are lifelong pet owners who have experienced that same joy and companionship, and that same sorrow of letting go. That’s why we believe in bringing end-of-life care and consultation to the place where you, your family, and your pet feel the most calm, secure, and comfortable — your home.
Our caring team provides euthanasia and cremation services centred in respect, dignity, and compassion. At a time when you need it most, we offer gentle, comforting, unhurried care that guides and supports you and your family members through a difficult experience. No one can make this moment easy, but we can help make it more peaceful and meaningful for you, and more comfortable for your beloved pet.
Reach out to us with your questions or to book a quality-of-life consultation or in-home euthanasia appointment. We will come to your home in Vancouver or across most of Metro Vancouver. You can find our service map at the bottom of this page.
Our In-home Dog & Cat Euthanasia Services
Our pets can’t stay with us forever, but our love for them can. The animal friends we’ve lost remain in our hearts, as eternal as “the soft stars that shine at night,” as the poet Mary Elizabeth Frye wrote.
We help you honour the joy your pets have given you by providing end-of-life care and consultation in the calm and comfortable surroundings of your own home. We are based in downtown Vancouver, BC, and provide our humane in-home veterinary euthanasia services across Metro Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, including West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, New Westminster, Port Moody, Surrey, Langley, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Maple Ridge.
Read on to learn more about what we do, and how we can help you say a loving goodbye to your companion in a setting that is peaceful, familiar, and comfortable for you both.
Wondering Where to Begin?
If you and your family are facing a difficult goodbye, or if you aren’t sure what to do for your aging or ailing pet, your first step is simply to reach out to us. You can request an in-home visit and get an estimate directly through our online booking form, or use the contact info at the bottom of each page to ask us your questions by phone or email.
We’re here to provide compassionate, gentle, and knowledgeable guidance and end-of-life care, in your own home. Our goal is that you and your family feel supported, informed, and understood, and that your pet feels comfortable, calm, and surrounded by love. We can help you assess your pet’s well-being, give you the information you need to support your pet and assess their well-being on a day-to-day basis, and, if and when the time comes, help you say a loving goodbye.
If you’re new to Lifting Stars, connect with us to find out what you need to know about our end-of-life care services and quality-of-life assessment appointment for your loved and loving animal companion.
