Ad Astra Veterinary Services
Compassionate in-home end-of-life services for your pet
Dr. Ariana Spina
Ever since I was young, I always knew I wanted to spend my life helping animals. I graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2018, and have been working in the Ottawa-region since graduation. After doing in-clinic euthanasia for 5 years, I was able to experience first-hand the amazing difference that at-home euthanasia provides for families. A family saying goodbye to their beloved pet should never be rushed, and the experience should be as comfortable and peaceful as possible for the pet. With Ad Astra Veterinary Services, it is my goal to provide tailored end-of-life care for companion animals, to minimize the stress to both the pet and the family members. Saying goodbye is hard enough- let us help you make the experience more comfortable, with our fear-free approach with your pets comfort as our number one priority.
Dr. Spina is CAETA (Companion Animal Euthanasia Training Academy) Certified, and has done numerous hours of extensive training on Companion Animal Euthanasia.

Ad Astra was born from Dr. Spina's experiences in both in-clinic euthanasias and at-home euthanasias. She noticed a drastic difference in the comfort of the pets and family when they were allowed to grieve in the comfort of their homes, and knew that this was a service that was not widely available and was desperately needed in the Ottawa region.
