They were…read morekind and compassionate and I was able to schedule a time for Dr. Mary to come out and help him pass peacefully. The logistics were a bit odd because I live out of state (but was coming back to ensure I was there) and we were having him euthanized at my parents' home. Dr. Mary came out, explained the process, was patient and gave me all the time I needed. It was far more peaceful than I expected, and both she and the gentleman who did the transport were immensely kind and gentle with my sweet boy. I have nothing but great things to say about the service and compassion given by Peaceful Pet Passage. I feel lucky to have found folks who helped me give Brody this last kindness.
