Dr. Ashley Ng grew up in a small city in Vermont before settling in Minneapolis. She loved all animals from a young age, and wanted to become a veterinarian since she was 7 years old. She worked and volunteered around animals as much as she could growing up. From traveling around the country with her horse in 4-H, to caring for the dogs and cats at the humane society, to working as a zoo-keeper, caring for goats, llamas, Lynx, and owls Dr. Ng is well prepared. After graduating high school, she attended the University of Vermont and earned a bachelor’s in animal science. She then moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota to attend veterinary school and graduated in 2008.

Dr. Ng got married shortly after graduating veterinary school, and started working as a general practitioner in the Twin Cities area. She grew her family during this time and had a son and a daughter. The family loves game nights and movie nights, and pretty much any outdoor activity. The Harry Potter series is one of Dr. Ng’s all-time favorite novels to read and movies to watch!

Working at several small animal veterinary practices over the years has allowed her to get a lot of varied real-world experience and made her a more well-rounded veterinarian. After working with so many clients and patients, it really started to appeal to her to focus on just one aspect of veterinary medicine and that is veterinary euthanasia. Even during veterinary school, Dr. Ng always knew that she had a passion for guiding clients through those difficult end of life decisions and the euthanasia process. She recognized that through at home euthanasia, she can make a family’s final moments with their pet as peaceful and respectful as possible. Thus, she joined a mobile at home euthanasia practice, Home with Dignity, and now provides in home euthanasia in Minneapolis. We are very proud to have her, and she is prepared to guide you during the euthanasia process.

Dr. Ng says, “A family’s bond with their pet is so special. It is such a privilege to get to be there on one of the hardest days of that family’s life, to help guide them through and really honor the bond with their pet. This is very meaningful work, and a great responsibility. I always strive to do everything I can to make the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. We do this as veterinarians because we are called to it, and because we are compassionate people. It isn’t an easy profession, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
