&lt;h2 id="why-in-home"&gt;Why families choose an in-home visit&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many older pets find car rides painful or stressful — and a longer drive can add one more hard moment on an already difficult day. An in-home visit removes that final journey and lets your dog or cat rest somewhere familiar, surrounded by the people who love them most.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>About Dr. Balsara</title><link>https://drkbalsara.com/about/</link><pubDate>Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://drkbalsara.com/about/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="background"&gt;Background&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dr. Balsara is a fully licensed veterinarian practising now in British Columbia. She brings decades of experience from over 35 years of running a full service mobile veterinary clinic in Ontario. With the onset of the covid pandemic in 2020, she transitioned to focus exclusively on in-home end-of-life care in Toronto. After moving to Vancouver, she has recently set up a similar practice here in the lower mainland to bring her years of expertise in caring for pets and their families where the importance of a compassionate, caring and unhurried gentle goodbye is paramount and what every family deserves.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>At-Home Pet Euthanasia in Burnaby</title><link>https://drkbalsara.com/service-areas/burnaby/</link><pubDate>Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://drkbalsara.com/service-areas/burnaby/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Dr. Balsara serves families across Burnaby — including Brentwood, Metrotown, Lougheed, Burnaby Heights, Edmonds, and Capitol Hill — with in-home pet euthanasia and end-of-life care.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="why-in-home"&gt;Why families choose an in-home visit&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A clinic visit is hard on a pet who is already uncomfortable, and the trip itself can be stressful. An in-home visit means your dog or cat can rest in their favourite spot, with the people who love them most.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Contact Dr. Balsara</title><link>https://drkbalsara.com/contact/</link><pubDate>Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://drkbalsara.com/contact/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="phone"&gt;Phone&lt;/h2&gt;

 &lt;details class="faq__item"&gt;
 &lt;summary class="faq__q"&gt;What happens during an in-home euthanasia visit?&lt;/summary&gt;
 &lt;div class="faq__a"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr. Balsara will sit with you and your pet, briefly review their history, and answer any questions. A gentle sedative is given first so your pet drifts into a deep, comfortable sleep. The final injection is given peacefully while you hold them. Afterwards, there is time — there is no rush. Full details are on the Services page.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;/details&gt;
 &lt;details class="faq__item"&gt;
 &lt;summary class="faq__q"&gt;How long does the visit take?&lt;/summary&gt;
 &lt;div class="faq__a"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Plan for about 60 minutes, but the visit is paced to your family. There is no clock — you have as much time afterward as you need.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>At-Home Pet Euthanasia in New Westminster</title><link>https://drkbalsara.com/service-areas/new-westminster/</link><pubDate>Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://drkbalsara.com/service-areas/new-westminster/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Dr. Balsara serves families in New Westminster — including Queen&amp;rsquo;s Park, Sapperton, Quayside, Uptown, and Queensborough — with in-home pet euthanasia and end-of-life care.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A peaceful, unhurried visit in the comfort of your home. The visit typically lasts 60 minutes and is paced to your family, not to a clock.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Includes:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A brief consultation about your pet&amp;rsquo;s history and current quality of life&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A gentle sedative so your pet drifts into a deep, comfortable sleep before the final goodbye&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The peaceful passing, while you hold them&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Time afterwards - I accommodate your pace&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Paw-print or fur-clipping keepsake on request&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Coordination with aftercare and cremation services - full service back to your home&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id="quality-of-life-consultation"&gt;Quality-of-Life Consultation&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not sure if it&amp;rsquo;s time? A separate, quieter visit to talk through how your pet is doing. I use practical, evidence-based scales (such as the HHHHHMM scale) so you can make a confident, informed decision - without pressure. More on this process is in the &lt;a href="https://drkbalsara.com/faq/"&gt;FAQ&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>At-Home Pet Euthanasia in Vancouver</title><link>https://drkbalsara.com/service-areas/vancouver/</link><pubDate>Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://drkbalsara.com/service-areas/vancouver/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Dr. Balsara visits families across the City of Vancouver — including Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Fairview, Kerrisdale, Dunbar, the West End, Strathcona, East Vancouver, Marpole, and Killarney — for in-home pet euthanasia and end-of-life care.&lt;/p&gt;
