In-Home Pet Euthanasia in Tyler, TX

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the hardest moments a family can face. At True Friends Veterinary Services, Dr. Lindsey Hone offers gentle, private in-home euthanasia for pets throughout Tyler, TX and surrounding communities. With compassion and dignity, she helps you provide your pet with a peaceful transition — surrounded by love and the comfort of home.

A Calm, Compassionate Goodbye

In-home euthanasia removes the stress, fear, and sterility of a clinic environment. Instead of a cold exam table, your pet can be in their favorite bed, on the couch, or outside in the sunshine — with you by their side. Dr. Hone creates a quiet, respectful atmosphere where you and your family can focus on what matters most: saying goodbye with peace, presence, and love.

When Is It Time to Say Goodbye?

The decision to euthanize is deeply personal. If your pet is struggling with:


  • Chronic, untreatable pain

  • Loss of mobility or incontinence

  • Severe loss of appetite

  • Confusion, distress, or anxiety

  • Progressive diseases like cancer or heart failure

  • No longer enjoying daily life

Dr. Hone can help guide you through this decision with honesty, empathy, and medical insight. If needed, she offers palliative and hospice care to support your pet’s comfort before the final goodbye.
