The Compassionate Hands Holding Yours
We are a small team of dedicated veterinary professionals who believe that every pet deserves a peaceful, loving farewell in the familiarity of their own home.
Dr. Crystal McConnell
Dr. Crystal McConnell is a veterinarian providing services in western Michigan. She graduated from Michigan State University's College of Veterinary Medicine in 2012, and now works as a full-time veterinarian in a local West Michigan veterinary clinic, staying closely connected to both her patients and the veterinary community. Her in-home end of life services are not separate from her career; they are an extension of it. This service was created to offer something more personal during an already difficult time. As a privately owned, non-corporate practice, it is built on relationships, trust, and genuine compassion. This work is something she feels deeply passionate about, and she has chosen to offer it in addition to her full-time role to better support families when they need it most.
Dr. Crystal and her partner Ben have four kids combined. They live in West Michigan, and their free time consists of running their kids around to various activities. They have two dogs: Phoebe (a mutt with a cleft lip), and Cinnabun (a goofy pug) as well as three cats (Inky, Smokey, and Trixie) a guinea pig, and a fish.
