You and your pet are my only priority.

Dr. Alett only serves one appointment per service day.

When you schedule an appointment with us, your pet’s experience is all that matters. You can feel comfortable knowing that your goodbyes take as long as you need them to. 

It’s more than euthanasia to us.

With end-of-life care, there are no do-overs or second chances.

The last moments you share with your pet need to go perfectly. I only see one appointment per day so the sole focus is on making that one appointment the best it can be. You don’t need to worry about time constraints or going overtime. It’s all your time.

I am committed to handling everything so that all you need to do is be present with their beloved family member.

Wee Paw Way is for you if:

  • Your pet is a beloved member of your family.

    They’ve been with you through thick and thin, staying by your side through all the big events and the little moments in between.

  • You do not want your pet to be euthanized at the vet hospital.

    Although you love your vet, your buddy shakes as soon as they get in the car. It doesn’t feel right to make your pet go through that on their final day.

  • Your beloved friend has retreated to their familiar spot.

    Your pet is most comfortable in their yard, on their fluffy bed near their family, or in their home environment that they’ve known for ages. You want them to stay as comfortable as possible.

  • You need to be at home just as much as your pet does.

    You need the freedom and privacy to feel all of your feelings during this process. You’re not sure how you’re going to feel and want to give yourself the space to cry, wail, or be a slobbery mess. The last thing you want is to drive home in an empty car.

What My Clients Say

  • “Dr. Alett Mekler is true angel. She took the worst day of my life and made it ironically so special. Dr. Mekler is warm, caring and so patient. She explained the steps of euthanizing, waited for us to absorb the information and let us dictate the timing. We never felt rushed, coerced or misunderstood. It was a really powerful and lovely experience, thanks solely to her. I can’t recommend Dr. Alett enough.”

    Kristen A.

  • “One of the most heartbreaking experiences I’ve had to go through but Alett met us with kindness and grace during the entire process. I will recommend her to anyone who has to go through this horrible journey. There’s no better way to see your loved one go then in the hands of someone who cares about your animal as much as you do.”

    Sam K.

  • “Dr. Mekler came to my home at a time when I was distraught and brought a much needed calmness and peace with her. Losing my little love was devastating but watching her suffer was worse. Dr. Mekler was so kind, gentle and compassionate and she helped April pass peacefully. Dr. Mekler even went above and beyond with the memorial that I ordered. She put her own heart and soul into creating a beautiful frame for April's paw print and lock of fur.”

    Deborah G.

  • “Putting down a member of your animal family is so incredibly difficult, but Dr. Alett Mekler made it a beautiful and meaningful moment for our entire family. She explained every single step and allowed our boys to decide what they wanted to be a part of - or not. We were able to do it home where our dog was most comfortable. We remain eternally grateful for her compassion, kindness, and support. Thank you for providing this integral service in the comfort of our home, making it a
peaceful and loving time, even with all the tears.”

    Kathryn B.

  • "Dr. Mekler was the perfect person to help guide us with our end of life care for our puppers. Eternal gratitude for her helping Charles pass peacefully and unafraid in his own home. She cares so much and it really shows in the connections she makes with you and your pets."

 FAQs

  • The booking process requires a completed contact form and phone consultation with Dr. Alett prior to scheduling your services.

    Additionally, Dr. Alett only schedules one appointment during a single service day. This ensures that each pet parent/family gets as much time as they need.

    Therefore, it might not be possible to book a same-day appointment.

    However, please inform Dr. Alett of your scheduling needs so that she may make arrangements if possible.

  • Generally, appointments are kept within 30min radius from Concord, MA. Travel outside of service area might be available at additional travel cost starting at $75

    Dr. Alett can only licensed to provide service within Massachusetts.

  • Traditional ‘fire based’ cremation, requires a lot of energy and is not very eco-friendly. I work with PetriChor to provide eco-sustainable cremation services for your pet.

    You will still receive your pet’s ashes if you choose private cremation services.

    Find out more about PetriChor Aquamation here.

  • General aftercare via Aquamation is included in the listed prices of dog and cat services. Your pet’s body will be with other pets in this aftercare service.

    Individual cremation is available for $350. Your pet will be cremated individually and their ashes will be carefully placed into an urn. This service includes a laser etched stone paw print. When ready, your pet’s ashes will be hand-delivered to you by Dr. Alett.

    Please inquire for more information about the individual cremation option.
