Dr. Sam
In-Home Pet Euthanasia in Sacramento & Surrounding Areas
I was born in San Diego, California but I moved to Massachusetts when I was 8 years old. Having family on both coasts gave me the best of both worlds—New England’s culture and history, and California’s beautiful weather. From a young age, and after countless trips to the San Diego Zoo with my grandfather, I knew I wanted to live a life of service to animals.
I attended college at the University of Massachusetts Boston, majoring in biology and simultaneously working at a local veterinary hospital. I moved to Davis, California shortly after graduation and established residency while working at another veterinary office. I graduated from UC Davis veterinary school in 2020. I began working in general practice, and discovered a love for animal behavior, the human-animal bond, and hospice care. I solidified my calling to end-of-life care by transitioning to solely veterinary hospice medicine in 2022. I am passionate about honoring the love we share with our furry family members, and take great pride in working in this aspect of the veterinary profession.
