My family and I recently had to relieve our sweet Lulu of her awesome family member duties this past Monday. My daughter had prepared us for this day by researching the reviews of a few in-home services so that we would have the right choice at a moments notice. We were at the vet at 9 AM and confirmed the bad news that we had to act quickly and my daughter immediately called her first choice, A Pet's farewell, and we were able to get an appointment at noon that day. Waiting any longer would have turned out a whole different bad way. Dr. Leah came over on time and came into the house and graciously explained how we were going to proceed all the while being very patient and considerate of our situation. Dr. Leah asked us to prepare some snacks Lulu loved so that we can distract her from the needles of concoctions. Lulu ate one of her fave's Cane's chicken (actually got up to eat that), went on her last potty break and then we went back into the house and set up in the living room. Lulu took everything like a champ as she always has, and it was painless and a comfort to know that she was just going to drift away peacefully with all of us at her side and in her visuals as she relaxed. Dr. Leah was very helpful and patient as we cried and hugged Lulu good-bye. Dr. Leah wrapped Lulu up in the carry out sling and my son helped her take Lulu to the car that was decorated with cute pillows, a blanket and flowers for her final trip in a car. Thank you Dr. Leah not that I want to do this ever again, but I will have to, and I will definitely be calling you back to help us the next time. I hope anyone considering an in home service is able to give their pet's a peaceful final goodbye-bye no matter the cost. Your peace of mind knowing you did the very best for your family member is priceless. read more

During a very difficult time for our family and our sweet baby girl, Dr. Leah proved to be the perfect person to help us get through a very difficult experience. Dr. Leah was professional, compassionate, gentle and kind. As a vet, she briefly discussed Roxy's condition with us and this helped me with all of the conflict that I felt regarding ending her health struggles and pain. Dr. Leah was sweet with her and made all of us feel comfortable. She suggested giving her treats as the procedure began and Roxy was so happy eating cheese that she did not feel the needle as I held her. Afterwards Dr. Leah gave us her time and did not rush us, which I appreciated. I had hoped to give our sweet girl the luxury of peace and love at the end, but I really did not expect her to go happily as she ate special treats. I am so truly grateful for that. Thank you so much. read more

Putting down our sweet Kitty Cat was such a heartbreaking thing to do. Dr. Leah was very gentle, caring, compassionate, and took her time while explaining everything to us along the way. She didn't rush the process, but also didn't draw it out too long either. I hope I never have to go through anything like this again, but if I do I would call Dr. Leah, and I would highly recommend her services should you ever need them. read more

Money Grabbers. Requiring an in home visit to continue my dog's single palliative medication that he already takes. I just want a relationship established for someone to call when he declines. He is currently being prescribed virtually elsewhere and I simply wanted to transition him to palliative care without much fuss or stress. read more

I am thankful for Dr Leah and the service that she provides. Seriously losing a pet is one of the hardest things I've ever gone through.

Dr Leah was so sweet, gentle and patient. She provided so much compassion and care with this hard time, and we will forever be grateful she helped in such a loving way. Thank you Dr Leah for a memorable send off. read more

Really good experience so far (as good as it can be given what's going on ). Been struggling with my 12 year old baby recently diagnosed with a splenic mass. Pain control had been a struggle so we reached out for a palliative care consult over the weekend and we were immediately scheduled for that upcoming Monday. The lady on the phone was super sweet and understanding and everyone was super responsive. Dr. Leah came to evaluate our girl and gave us recommendations and medication to keep her comfortable, spent an hour talking through everything and we never felt rushed. I feel so reassured having someone I can turn to with questions as we navigate end of life for my sweet girl. Highly recommend for anyone looking for palliative/hospice care. Also, I love that pricing is very transparent on their website so there's no surprises or guessing ‍ read more

A Pet's Farewell - Veterinarians Near Me

I am deeply disappointed with the lack of coordination at A Pet's Farewell. During such a sensitive and time-critical moment, we were passed between three different coordinators, none of whom seemed to know what the others were doing. Despite our request for expedited services, they failed to get back to us in time, leaving us in a state of unnecessary stress and uncertainty. When you are grieving, the last thing you should have to do is chase down a service provider for updates. It is hard for me to believe that 1 sole provider Dr. Leah is so busy that she does not even have 5 mins to pick up a phone and speak to my family I, even after I offer to pay for her time. My recommendation, avoid this provider and find someone with more time and compassion. read more

April 15 stinks for 2 reasons now. I had to let go of my fuzzy son. Pets Farewell was curtious, caring, and compassionate. I highly recommend. read more

A Pets Farewell did a wonderful job in helping us say goodbye to our 14 year-old dachshund. In such a difficult time and they handled this with Grace sensitivity and I would highly recommend them to anybody looking for this service. read more

Romeo and I have been blessed his entire life. The end of his life was no exception. Dr. Leah was the perfect caring human to be there on what is arguably one of the most important days of our lives. Her energy helped calm everyone's nerves including the other canines in the house. I'm so thankful, grateful that we were all together surrounding Romeo with love. I recommend A Pet's Farewell whole heartedly. read more

Grateful doesn't begin to touch on my feelings for Dr. Leah. On what was truly the hardest day of my entire life so far, she was there with our family to help us say goodbye to our precious 15-year-old dog. This is not the kind of service that anyone wants to book, but thank goodness for compassionate humans like Dr. Leah, who are there to provide them. The initial phone call was caring and calm, and Dr. Leah showed up exactly on time. She explained everything she was going to do, gave our family all of the time we needed to say goodbye. She showed so much compassion to our little boy, rubbing his head, talking to him, wrapping him up in a soft blanket at the end and carrying him out in a manner that he deserved. Thank you, Dr. Leah. We are forever grateful for you. read more

A beautiful experience with Dr Leah, she was compassionate, kind and patient and explained the whole process. She made us feel calm and took such great care of our boy. I would highly recommend her. Thank you read more

An invaluable service. We are beyond grateful to A Pet's Farewell for helping out beloved best friend during his final moments.

The euthanasia of my precious boy was so peaceful, unhurried and Dr Leah was so very compassionate, before, during and after.

My dog struggled as they debated whether to give him more medicine. It was extremely traumatic for my kids. This was my daughter's dog. Just terrible. She still cries about "the struggling" and it was 6 months ago. read more

For such a hard time, this is an amazing service and a caring, compassionate person. Cannot recommend her highly enough.

We woke on 12/26 with our little girl having trouble walking, we knew this day would come. I was referred to a compassionate Vet named Dr Leah Feldman at "A Pets Farewell". I text her and she promptly responded to my text with an appt a couple hours away. She instructed us on how to make her comfortable until she arrived. We are grateful that she was able to help us right away. Dr Leah was very professional with how well she took care of our girl. After we saw the difficulty that vets can run into with different types of pets we were glad we opted for this "at home" service. We appreciate everything Dr. Leah went through to make sure our little Deeni left this world without any pain or discomfort. Thanks Dr Leah, your kindness is measured by the care you give us humans as well as our fur babies. I would recommend her 100%! read more

We are so grateful to have had Dr. Leah be our vet to help our boxer, Sushi, cross the rainbow bridge. She was compassionate and we felt she genuinely cared about our pup and her comfort. Although the experience was heartbreaking for us, Dr. Leah gave us the reassurance that we were doing the right thing. We'd give you 6 stars if we could. Thank you for being there for us. God bless you. I don't know how you do this every day. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Leah. She came to the house earlier than scheduled to help us with our Greqt Dane in the end stage of lymphoma. She was incredibly kind, explained everything along the way, and very compassionate. I'm so glad we found her; it was amazing to have this done at home instead of in a vet's office. Thank you so much! read more

I can't say enough about Dr. Leah and her service. She's genuine and present in the moment. It's obvious she cares, and I can think of no better way for our Yuki to have crossed over to that great dog park in the sky. He was 19 and ready to go. She really helped us understand the process and be at peace with it. This was worth EVERY penny. The difference in price with a traditional "take the dog to a vet and watch them shiver in the waiting room, wondering why we have them here" and this peaceful, beautiful at-home euthanasia is nominal. If you love your pet and they're truly a member of your family, Dr. Leah will allow them to drift off to sleep, then welcome the afterlife (if dogs have one,) with no anxiety, no fear, just good food and loving hands from family. Thank you, Dr. Leah. You ROCK. read more

Dr. Leah is one of those rare vets who is both compassionate (and not that fake, saccharine, "corporate gift card" compassionate, but actually caring) and extremely knowledgeable about the problems facing elderly pets, and how best to help them move on. When that dreaded time comes, do yourself and your beloved pet the biggest favor in the world, and use this service. read more

I called last week to get information about Dr. Feldman's services and was helped by a considerate and compassionate person that explained everything so thoroughly and helped make our decision easier. Dr. Leah showed up, got to know our circumstances and our dog and helped make the process much more tolerable. My wife, the one our dog really loved and bonded with, couldn't be there at first, but eventually spoke to Dr. Leah and was comforted and put at ease and knew this was the right decision for our pet. Everything was taken care of with dignity, care, and love. I could not give A Pet's Farewell higher marks and am grateful that we found a caring and compassionate vet to make this difficult decision bearable. We have had to put a pet down before and this was by far better than going to a vet clinic, waiting and waiting, and then walking out in tears. Thank you. read more

I can't say enough about how amazing Dr. Leah and her team are. In November, we realized it was time to say goodbye to Nola after 21 years and Dr. Leah showed us so much compassion, respect, and reassurance. We knew Nola was well cared for in her hands, and we will forever be grateful for what Dr. Leah provided us all that day. She is a saint. read more

Not a review anyone wants to write but here we go. Our beloved dog of 15 years was ready to cross the rainbow bridge but we were not so we made an appointment with A Pet's Farewell a few times and backed out. They were very caring and understanding of our situation. We made a final appointment for a sunny Tuesday afternoon because we didn't want it to turn into an emergency. Dr. Leah came in and talked to us about what to expect and was very kind and patient. We gave our girl a final meal of bacon and chocolate as we relaxed on the patio under some flowers. We said our goodbyes and got to hold our baby as she went to sleep. It was very peaceful and we were sad but it was as good as we can imagine an event like this. About a week later, we recived a call that our gal was ready to be picked up at the cremetorium. They provided u s with a beautiful package to take home and cherish forever. I highly recommend A Pet's Farewell for this sad, but inevitable moment. read more

So grateful to Dr. Leah and Leslie. Our 15 year old pup went downhill pretty quickly so we did not have much time to make this difficult decision. I spoke with Leslie and she was so incredibly kind. She was patient as I rambled on and she answered all of my questions. She walked me through the process which really helped us prepare ourselves mentally and emotionally. Then we scheduled an appointment for the next day. Dr. Leah arrived on time - not too early and not late. She was so kind and compassionate. It was so evident in all the small details throughout the process. I am so grateful Dr. Leah was the one to guide our Bailey across the rainbow bridge and onto her next chapter. Thank you Dr. Leah and Leslie for doing what you do and for doing it so well. read more

Dr. Leah is very professional, kind, and patient. It was extremely difficult to put our first family dog to sleep, but it was the best decision. Yogi couldn't walk and wasn't eating anymore. She walked us through the process and provided an excellent booklet that helped us navigate our grief. His ceremony was so beautiful and I couldn't thank her enough for being so respectful to our Yogi. read more

From the moment Dr. Leah walked into our home my family and I felt a sense of calm and ease in her presence. Dr. Leah did a wonderful job of making a difficult situation feel comfortable, although we had never met her before it felt very natural speaking to her. She walked us through the various steps one by one throughout the process. She gave us time, explained exactly what she will be doing, and what she is looking for in each of the steps. Dr. Leah was very gentle and mindful of all her words and actions. Dr. Leah spent quite a bit of time after the euthanasia process and handled Scratch (our kitty) very gently with love and respect. This time we spent with Dr. Leah and Scratch after putting Scratch to rest allowed my family and I to process everything, which we are forever grateful for. Leslie is the person you will speak to on the phone, she seems to handle making the appointments and setting everything up for the day we chose. Leslie was incredibly amazing in answering any and all of our questions on the phone. She also offered a very calm presence and helped navigate us through the process with ease. Dr. Leah works with West Coast Pet Memorial Services for the cremation process, which went very well in our experience. We chose the individual cremation and they were able to deliver Scratch's ashes to our vet along with a clay paw print and a personalized ceramic vase with her name on it. If you are looking for someone who will offer your pet and your family the comfort you need during this challenging time I'd highly recommend Dr. Leah to any individual making the difficult decision to put down their pet. This is Dr. Leah's own business and she is the one who will come to you, unlike some other home euthanasia services that will send varying doctors. Leslie and Dr. Leah are the two individuals working together for a Pets a Farewell, making communication and delivery of information very simple and direct. There is no third party involved or any lost messages in between. Through this difficult journey of putting our beloved Scratch to rest, we were SO incredibly grateful to have chosen Dr. Leah and Leslie to walk us through this. They were available when we needed them and made it clear that we could contact them at anytime to know where Scratch was in the process once she was put down till she was delivered to our Vet. Once again, I could not emphasize how peaceful and caring this whole process was for Scratch and my family. We know we made the right decision by Scratch to do home euthanasia with Dr. Leah, alleviating a lot of stressors for both Scratch and my family. We are forever grateful and hope Dr. Leah is able to do this for as long as she wishes! -Perera family read more

Dr Leah could not have been more compassionate during her visit with our beloved Cooper. Unfortunately after 17 amazing years we had to make the most difficult decision a pet owner at some point has to make. Dr Leah has a calming presence and was so comforting to not only Cooper but with us as well. I can't thank her enough for making this most difficult day that much easier. Worth every penny to have your family pet in the comfort of their own home surrounded by loved ones AND Dr Leah. Thank you again Dr for your compassion and the way you cared for our Cooper and his transition. read more

We had to put our boxer down yesterday and decided to go with A Pets Farewell and we are so glad we did. Leslie and Dr Leah were so kind, thorough, empathetic, respectful and gentle. It was a peaceful process for our family and especially for Amanda our boxer. We wouldn't have had it any other way - it was perfect. Thank you Leslie and Dr Leah. read more

Dr Leah was so great in this process with my Leila. She was always there when I gave updates and also provided feedback. Even though this was a very hard process to go through, Dr. Leah took the time to be compassionate with both myself and Leila. read more

GENTLE-LOVING PROCESS! First, my heart goes out to everyone who is now searching for that special someone to be there for their pet and reading through all these messages, I feel your pain! I was there 5 months ago, and I have to share how wonderful Dr. Leah is, her process was impeccable! When you know it's the end of the rainbow and time for your beloved pet to go to doggy heaven the last thing you want to do is have to search for that special someone to make the transition go as smoothly as possible. Thank God my daughter found Dr. Leah! It was as if God answered my prayers and sent us an Angel! I wanted Aashka to be somewhere comfortable and not afraid like she would be at a doctor's office, so I chose her favorite place "Sea Canyon Park". The day before we had a 'Celebrate her life' at this park with all Aashka's friends it was so very special! I'm glad I did this! Dr. Leah agreed to meet us at the park the following day. I have never met her before and as she approached us she was so angelic! Aashka immediately gravited toward her energy and her words were so loving and kind! She took her time explaining each step of the process, and we had beautiful frequency music playing the whole time. I laid my head next to Aashka's head with my arms around her and told her I was walking her back home, continually telling her how much I loved her. It was the most peaceful transition I could have ever imagined! Aashka was so comfortable, and relaxed and the process was so GENTLE! Shortly after, my daughter and I left to drive down to the beach so we could hold space for our baby girls' transitioning. Just around the corner as I was driving we saw a beautiful rainbow over the ocean! I know it was a sign from her! Dr. Leah also sent us her paw prints and clipped fur for us to keep. The cremation service she uses takes the ashes and sprinkles them out into the ocean. They are also very loving and caring individuals! read more

Mikey was diagnosed with bone cancer at the age of 17, and I had to decide when the right time was to let him go. I will tell you that I never understood the phrase "from pain and suffering I have been saved" until now. On May 18th, 2022, I had to make that decision, and it was one of the hardest decisions in my life. And I remembered thinking: "It's a beautiful day." I spent the whole day next to Mikey, and I never left his side. Dr. Leah from a Pet's Farewell (https://apetsfarewell.com/) came to my home at 3pm. My friend was there so that I never had to leave Mikey's side. He ate six McDonald hamburgers and a vanilla ice cream cup. Dr. Leah gave him a sedative, while he was eating, and he never felt the prick. Soon he fell asleep, and Dr. Leah moved his body so that I could lay next to him. As she gave him the final injection, I stroked his head, and I told him to remember all the years we spent together and to please "meet again." Dr. Leah then said Mikey was in heaven. The pain of losing him is unimaginable, but if it is the price I pay for even a moment with Mikey, then I would pay it all over again. Mikey is a good dog, and I hope I honor him by how well I care for Bernadette. "Love does not die--only the living do. So when all that is left is love, you give it away." read more

Dr. Leah made the difficult process of putting our dog Indie down as easy as it could have been. She made sure the entire process was peaceful for us and our dog.

Of course no one wants to have to search for someone under these circumstances but our almost 19 year old cat was suffering from kidney failure and extreme arthritis. He could no longer stand or walk to his food or litter box. I gained recommendations from friends and then searched Yelp to find a suitable doctor that would come to our house. Three of the recommendations from friends I bypassed due to their "rules" from: no refunds should circumstances change, to adding travel fees for distance, to having several different vets, to restrictive scheduling. I decided on A Pet's Farewell after reading reviews and checking out their website. When I first called to inquire about their services, Leslie answered the phone and was very kind and informative. No pressure to choose them and no unappealing guidelines to follow in order to secure an appointment. Dr. Leah arrived on time and was friendly, professional, patient and courteous. She answered our questions and explained her process. She sat with us for awhile, allowing us time to pet our cat and chat with her prior to beginning anything. We were very comfortable with her and it was obvious that she loves animals. She helped ease the anxiety that naturally occurs under such circumstances and we would definitely recommend her to others. read more

Dr. Leah was so kind and understanding. She came to the house, didn't rush the process, and made us and our cat very comfortable. I was nervous about the process, especially having it done at home, but she really made the process go as smooth as it could have possibly gone. read more
