From the AP Article featuring Rob Twyning:
Pet Loss at Home has served more than 35,000 families since 2003. It operates with about 75 doctors in 50 metropolitan areas, including Seattle, San Francisco, Denver, Houston and Minneapolis. We have been experiencing a steady increase in business, said Rob Twyning, who founded the company with his wife, Karen, a veterinarian.
“Right now the phone is ringing off the hook,” said Twyning, in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. “We have so many calls that we just can’t help everybody.”
Pet Loss at Home charges anywhere from $300 to $600 or more, depending on the city and the drive time.
“It’s about comfort,” he said. “At home, your pet is familiar with the smells and sounds. A vet clinic is filled with other pets’ smells. It’s filled with other noises, like barking dogs. It’s typically a shiny table where the pet will be elevated. A lot of the time, it’s not a veterinarian. It’s a technician. At home, you can take your own time.”
Twyning’s vets serve mostly dogs and cats but have handled other species too, from snakes to parrots.
