Pet Requiem Veterinarian in NYC & NJ. Founder of Pet Requiem www.petrequiem.com & Home Vet www.homevetnyc.com. P Pet Requiem and Home Vets NYC were both established in 2009.

Pet Requiem is a veterinary house call service providing veterinary care and in-home euthanasia for New York’s geriatric and infirmed pets. Dr. Wendy McCulloch graduated from the University of Florida in 2004, and completed a rotating surgery and medicine internship at the Animal Medical Center in New York City in 2005. While practicing General Veterinary Medicine at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital, she established and ran a house call practice. She is now based in New York City offering end of life services (Pet Requiem) and routine in-home veterinary care for the city’s beloved cats and dogs. Dr. McCulloch feels that it is important for owners to have the option of pet euthanasia in the stress free environment of their own home.

Compassionate care. In the comfort of home.

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is never easy. But where and how it happens can make a meaningful difference.

Founded in 2009 by Dr. Wendy McCulloch, Pet Requiem was New York City's first veterinary house-call service devoted exclusively to end-of-life care.

For more than 17 years, we've helped families navigate one of the most difficult moments of pet ownership with compassion, dignity, and understanding.

Our in-home veterinary services allow pets to remain in familiar surroundings, close to the people who love them.

Same-day appointments are often available.

Three moments. Three reminders about caring for the pets we love.

A quiet moment watching the world go by. A senior dog finding the stairs a little more challenging. A cat enjoying a favorite resting spot.

As our pets grow older, each of these moments reminds us of something important: the value of familiar routines, recognizing changes in mobility, and providing comfortable places to relax.

Every pet ages differently. Understanding their changing needs helps us make their senior years as happy and comfortable as possible.

You're never too old to play.

Senior cats may slow down, but their curiosity doesn't have to.

A little gentle play can help keep older cats mentally stimulated, physically active, and engaged with their surroundings.

Try slowly moving a wand toy across the floor, offering a simple treat puzzle, or hiding a favorite toy somewhere easy to discover.

Keep play sessions short, let your cat set the pace, and remember that even a few minutes of activity can make their day more interesting.

Sometimes they’re telling us without making a sound.

As pets age, changes in how they feel aren’t always obvious.

Eating a little less. Hesitating before jumping. Spending more time alone. Losing interest in a favorite activity. Small changes can be easy to dismiss, but together they can tell us a lot about a pet’s comfort and well-being.

Knowing what’s normal for your pet makes it easier to recognize when something has changed.

Pet Requiem’s Senior Mind Check can help you identify and track changes as your pet grows older.

Getting older is tiring work.

Senior dogs often spend more time sleeping and resting than they did when they were younger. Giving them a quiet, comfortable place to recharge—and letting them sleep without interruption—can be an important part of their daily routine.

Pay attention to changes, too. If your dog suddenly begins sleeping much more than usual or seems reluctant to get up for things they normally enjoy, it may be worth checking in with your veterinarian.

Growing older may mean more naps. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

It's National Dog Week

For many dogs, few things are better than going for a walk.

As dogs get older, walks may become shorter and slower — but they can still offer so much:

• Gentle exercise
• Mental stimulation
• New sights, sounds and smells
• Quality time together
• A chance to simply enjoy the day

Let your senior dog set the pace. Sometimes a slower walk with plenty of time to stop and sniff is exactly what they need.

Is Your Pet Drinking Enough Water?

Water is an important part of keeping pets healthy at every age. A few simple habits can help encourage good hydration:

• Keep fresh, clean water available throughout the day
• Place water bowls in several easy-to-reach locations
• Wash bowls regularly to keep water fresh and appealing
• Consider a pet fountain for pets who prefer moving water
• Pay attention to noticeable changes in how much your pet drinks

Drinking significantly more or less than usual can sometimes be a sign that something has changed. If you notice a difference, talk with your veterinarian.

Why do families choose in-home pet euthanasia?

Because saying goodbye is difficult enough. Where it happens can make a difference.

Familiar Comfort —
Your pet can remain in the place they know best — on a favorite blanket, in your lap, or resting in a sunny window.

A Calmer Experience —
No stressful car ride, busy waiting room, or unfamiliar surroundings. Just the quiet and comfort of home.

Time to Say Goodbye —
Private, unhurried, and at your own pace, giving your family the time you need together.

A More Loving Final Memory —
Your pet can spend their final moments surrounded by the people they love, with tenderness and dignity.

With decades of veterinary experience, Dr. Wendy McCulloch helps NYC families say goodbye to their pets peacefully in the comfort of home.

Founded in 2009, Pet Requiem was New York City’s first veterinary house-call service devoted exclusively to end-of-life care. SAME DAY SERVICE is often available when you need us.
