Lighthouse Veterinary Services
About Lighthouse Veterinary Services
Lighthouse Veterinary Services is a Helena, Montana practice founded on a deep passion for providing superior veterinary hospice care and dignified end-of-life services for dogs and cats in the comfort of their own homes. Led by Dr. Nancy Mayer, the practice draws its name from the symbolism of a lighthouse — representing resilience, solace, and safe passage at the end of a long voyage. Dr. Mayer partners with families to offer compassionate guidance and individualized care tailored to each pet's unique needs and each family's wishes.
Lighthouse Veterinary Services recognizes how agonizing it can be to watch a beloved pet's health decline and to face end-of-life decisions. The practice focuses on the comfort of both the pet and the pet parents, offering support from the moment curative treatment is no longer pursued through to the pet's passing — whether by in-home euthanasia or natural death. Families throughout the Helena area can rely on Dr. Mayer's availability and empathy during this deeply personal time.

Lighthouse Veterinary Services provides the following services to families in the Helena, Montana area:

What to Expect
When you contact Lighthouse Veterinary Services, Dr. Mayer will work with you to understand your pet's medical history, current condition, and your family's concerns. For quality-of-life consultations, she visits your home, reviews prior treatments, and provides assessment tools to help you gauge your pet's comfort going forward. When the time comes for in-home euthanasia, Dr. Mayer conducts the appointment in your home — where your pet is most relaxed — so family members can gather and say goodbye in a familiar, peaceful setting. A clay pawprint keepsake is included, and Dr. Mayer will also help coordinate any necessary aftercare arrangements. The practice is available by appointment and can be reached at (406) 558-3838.
