Home to Heaven

What Home to Heaven does

Home to Heaven is a privately-held, founder-owned professional corporation (Home to Heaven P.C.) based in Fort Collins, Colorado that delivers in-home pet hospice and euthanasia services across the Northern Colorado Front Range, including Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, Longmont, Boulder, and Denver. Founded in 2006 by Dr. Kathleen Cooney, the company operates as a mobile veterinary practice that travels to a pet owner's home to perform end-of-life care, removing the trauma of transporting sick or dying animals to a clinic. Core services comprise in-home pet hospice care, in-home euthanasia, and post-passing body care arrangements.

The company's service stack is built around licensed veterinarians with specialized training in end-of-life care (Drs. Cooney, James, Boal, Chelsea, Kelsi, Autumn, Jennifer, Kelly) and is supplemented by grief-support services, including free pet loss support groups and individual counseling facilitated by licensed pet loss counselor Leigh Ann Gerk. Supporting offerings include the Honored Stories memorial archive (44 paginated pages), Memorial Postings, an aggregated Grief Resources hub linking to regional counseling providers, and the Holly's Fund donation program that subsidizes services for economically constrained families.

The business model is fee-for-service, with revenue generated per visit and no subscription or e-commerce component. Customer acquisition is driven by word-of-mouth, veterinarian referrals, the informational website (hometoheaven.net), and earned local media coverage. Pricing is not publicly disclosed on the reviewed pages. There is no proprietary software, platform, AI capability, app, or technology stack — the offering is fundamentally a human-delivered clinical service with an integrated grief-support ecosystem layered on top.

Others

• Argus Institute at CSU Veterinary Medical Center: Pet-loss counseling and support program referenced on Home to Heaven's own counseling list. A complementary rather than competitive resource, but a key ecosystem partner in the same Northern Colorado pet-owner grief journey.

Emerging players

• Center for Pet Loss: Regional pet loss grief-counseling and support offering competing for the grief-support side of the same client journey. Comparable in its targeting of bereaved pet owners, though it does not deliver in-home clinical euthanasia.

Direct peers

• Caring Pathways: Mobile veterinary hospice and in-home euthanasia practice, originally Pacific Northwest but with overlapping geographic ambitions. Directly comparable end-of-life focus, vet staffing model, and grief-support add-ons.
• Pet Loss At Home: In-home pet euthanasia service operating in select US regions. Direct category competitor offering the same mobile goodbye experience to pet owners on a per-visit basis.
• Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice: The largest US in-home pet hospice and euthanasia network, offering the same mobile, veterinarian-delivered end-of-life care model across dozens of metro areas. Most directly comparable operator in scope, mission, and delivery format to Home to Heaven.
• CodaPet: An in-home pet euthanasia service expanding nationally via a network of affiliated veterinarians. Competes for the same pet-owner customers and follows the same mobile, fee-for-service hospice-and-euthanasia playbook as Home to Heaven.
• Paws Into Grace: California-based mobile pet hospice and in-home euthanasia service with hospice-care plus grief-counseling programming. Same consumer (pet owner), same services, and similar integrated grief-support differentiator.

Broad incumbents

• BluePearl Pet Hospital: Nationwide specialty and emergency veterinary hospital chain owned by Mars Petcare. Competes for pet-owner end-of-life spend via facility-based care rather than Home to Heaven's mobile hospice-and-euthanasia focus.
• VCA Animal Hospitals: Large national general and specialty veterinary hospital chain that performs euthanasia among a broad menu of services. Not specialized in in-home delivery, but addresses the same underlying end-of-life need at scale.
• Mars Petcare Pet Loss Support: Through subsidiaries including Banfield and BluePearl, Mars Petcare operates large pet-care platforms including end-of-life and pet-loss support services. Adjacent incumbent that can leverage scale and grief-counseling resources far beyond a regional hospice practice.
