Providing loving care, support and relief

Let us come to you.

Full Circle offers home euthanasia services to pet owners in southern Wisconsin who wish to say goodbye to their beloved companion in the comfort of their own home.

The Full Circle: A compassionate way to say goodbye.

Your pet is a cherished friend and companion. When it’s time to say goodbye, it can be one of the most difficult experiences of your relationship.  Full Circle was founded in the hopes of creating a different way for pets and their owners to say their final goodbyes: in peace and with kindness, at home.

​

As you enter this end-of-life journey with your pet, we are here to help you with expertise and compassion as you progress down the path. We can provide insight to help you determine when the time is right, comforting care to ease the passage of the last days, and peaceful euthanasia to make the final moments together a gentle memory. Every beautiful journey comes Full Circle. 

​

Home Euthanasia

A peaceful transition for your beloved companion, in the comfort of your home, wherever you would like to be.  Just as they have been there by your side, through so many transitions in life, you can be with them when they need you the most.  You can choose how you want the end of your pet's life to be, close to you, with no fear, no pain, only love.

Quality of Life Assessment and Hospice Care

We well know that this is the most difficult decision that you will have to make as a pet owner.  We are here to help navigate this time in your companion's life with in-home or virtual quality of life assessments and guidance on hospice care, to assist you in knowing how you can help your pet in the most loving way, and when their quality of life might be compromised

Ask the animals, and they will teach you, the beauty of this Earth.

I cannot thank Dr. Carrie enough for making the most difficult, painful time into one of calmness and peace for both me and my loyal, brave friend. My cat of over 14 years, Timmy, who was by my side for multiple moves, failed relationships, and every high and low in my life was on a slow decline in health and her illness suddenly worsened. Within a few hours, my email request was responded to, and her availability was prompt. Once Dr. Carrie arrived, my nerves calmed and felt at ease while I introduced her to Timmy and my other pets. She talked me through every step of the process, and was quiet and respectful of our bond. I was able to hold Timmy close to my heart the whole time. Dr. Carrie helped facilitate such an emotional time and reassured me that it was not only the right thing, but the most loving thing I could do for my sweet girl. It was worth the very fair price to have my girl pass on at home in the least stressful way possible, it was the best last gift I could give her. I will be using Dr. Carrie's services again for other pets.

Our Story

Full Circle Pet Hospice and Euthanasia was established in 2010 by Dr. Carrie Donahue, who has served the Madison and Milwaukee communities for many years.  Full Circle focuses on making the end of pets' lives an essential and loving aspect of veterinary care.  Since starting to offer this service, we've been on  journey of learning,  loving and respectfully caring for animals at the end of their lives, and helping pet owners to provide support for their older companions.

​

End of life care is not just a business for us at Full Circle. Passion for what we do lives in the hearts of each of us, forming the foundations of who we are and what we do.  We are committed to offering each pet caretaker a personal and caring experience.
