Sadly I had to send my 'ride or die' to the Rainbow Bridge. As most of us know this is never an easy decision and anything that can help ease the pain is very welcomed. Dr. Hartle came to my home and her energy was calm & non-judgmental. She was overly generous with her snacks. ZeeZee ate almost her entire bag before he couldn't chew any further. Desert Paws entire staff were very caring & efficient. I love that they gave me a paw imprint, a vile of his hair and a beautiful wooden box with his ashes. Which, I received only 2 days later. I appreciate this company and highly recommend when you have to make the unfortunate, difficult decision. read more

Absolutely wonderful service. Compassionate. Knowledgeable. Thorough. I highly recommend Dr. Martin and her excellent staff.

Thank you Dr Hartle For your services and taking care of my Moa and the beautiful card you sent. read more

When it comes to the incredibly difficult decision to say goodbye to your pet, I can't recommend at home euthanasia from Desert Paws enough. Dr. Erika Hartle was very compassionate and kind during the entire process. She explained each step of what our beloved dog would go through. During the procedure, she offered our pup treats to distract from the administration of medicine, was patient with and caring towards our other dog and family members who were saying goodbye as well, and even treated our pup with comfort and care after she passed. I really appreciated the ability to be with my dog and give her pets and say goodbye during the entire process and after. We also received a paw print and hair clipping as a keepsake, which I appreciated. Desert Paws made one of the worst experiences one could imagine as good as it could have been. I am forever grateful for their compassion, support, and empathy. read more

I had my dog euthanized at home by Dr. Hartle. She is professional, compassionate, and took the time to explain the procedure before we began. She made a terrible day a bit better. I recommend home euthanasia over going to the veterinarian, and recommend Desert Paws whole-heartedly. read more

The office staff and the doctor that administered the medicine for my dog to pass were all so kind and compassionate. My heart hurts to loose our family dog of 15 years but so glad we chose Desert Paws thank you. Buddy you are so missed so much read more

Dear Desert Paws, We would like to Thank You for Sending Us a "Shero", Dr. Aimee Rodden!  She was Incredible, Compassionate, and Immediately Attentive to the needs of Our Beloved Oliver Ochoa and Us as Parents.  Dr. Rodden You have touched Our Hearts with the Care you give to Others, while completing what needed to be done.  Please, Remember Our Gratitude! Our Boy would have been eleven years old in April, and was  Rescue from PACC in Tucson when he was just four months old.  He was always an Extremely Loving Dog, and Everybody Loved Oliver who always wanted to  play ball.  Unfortunately I could never get him to walk on a lease, making healthcare for him extremely difficult.  We had many moments  of a run away, or carrying him (65lb), cancelled appointments and refusal of care at others. Dr. Rodden knew Oliver could be difficult, as she vaccinated him two years ago, But now he was extremely ill and knew he needed immediate care.  I had a teleconference call the next Morning, she listened and knew what I wanted for Olive.  I wanted a Peaceful Passing and free of the pain he was struggling with, and showed up to Our door three hours late. After days of struggle without My Boy and not playing Ball anymore, I sometimes don't know what to do with my time.  Oliver required a lot of attention, exercise, and care, as hew was a nervous Guy.   To Me, He was Our Giant Baby! I miss You Oliver, And Thank You Dr. Rodden!  My Cup Runneth Over With Love... Steven & Robert Chavez-Ochoa III read more

Hello, I recently went through the process of Euthanizing my best friend of 15 years. It was a very difficult decision and call for me to make. When I made my phone call to Dessert Paws, I was met by a person on the other end that was caring, understanding, and listened to my story with compassion at the time I needed it the most. Dr. Erika Hartle came out to our home. She was very Kind, Gentle, Compassionate, knowledgeable and professional. The process was smooth and peaceful. I miss my friend with all my heart. She was a big part of my life for many years. When I needed a hand, she was there with her paw. I cant thank the team that assisted me enough! You guys are the absolute best! So very thankful you were there to help me and my best friend. Thank you!!!! God Bless, David Conrad read more

I had a very short notice pet emergency, needed mobile euthanasia for my long time companion. They were able to help me almost immediately. The vet who came out was professional, informative, calm and compassionate and made a very difficult situation much easier. Thank you so much! If/when I find a new pet/family member, I'm going to be calling them for regular care! read more

I used this place for my poor old man Rosco, he was very sick with a bad disease and needed to be put to rest. he had been in pain since december and we had done everything in our power to help him. we chose this place for a peaceful in home end of life for him and for all of us. After the vet sedated Rosco, she either didn't wait long enough or didn't sedate him enough, she started pushing in the medicine to stop his heart and he screamed and tried to bite the vet and ripped out his catheter. by the time we laid him back down he had passed. Our other small dog ran to him to see if he was okay after he screamed, she was very frightened. All i wanted was for my boy to be laid to rest Peacefully and this was far from it. i've been crying for four days bothered by the fact that his last moment was painful. How dare you guys. read more

calm, slow and caring. I cannot give them a better rating. they took careful care of us as we did an end of life for our very loved family cat. read more

We want to thank Dr. Aimee for taking a very stressful and sad situation for us and making it as painless as possible. Our 14+ year old pug had come to the end of his life rather quickly after being diagnosed with a collapsing trachea. He was suffering and given his age there was nothing more we could do. Desert Paws Mobile Veterinary Care sent Dr. Aimee and she was completely compassionate and professional. She gave us as much time a we needed with our pug Romney and even made paw prints for us. If you find yourself in a similar unfortunate situation and in need of their services I would highly recommend. read more

Dr Martin has been my animals' vet for over 20 years. Her professionalism, genuine concern for their well being, and competence are second to none. All the docs and staff at Desert Paws are first class - I am so grateful for them. We've utilized the mobile vet service and surgery center, as well as end of life services - every time our pets have been treated with compassion and dignity. Desert Paws is truly a pleasure to work with, and Tucson is lucky to have them! read more

From end of life care of my "big guy" to annual - in home - care of my "sweet girl" the staff of Desert Paws always impresses. I have left my former vet and use DPMV for all my dogs care. It's a "drive" from the NW, but worth it. read more

Compassionate and caring euthanasia of my furry family member! It was so nice to spare him the pain and stress of taking him to a clinic!

We have always been pleased with the mobile service Desert Paws has provide for our fur kids. But it wasn't until recently where they left a lasting impression on us. A couple of weeks ago we had to make the heartbreaking decision to euthanize our eldest family dog of 11 years, Maximus. We had never taken advantage of at home euthanasia but due to the circumstances surrounding Maximus it was our only choice. When the appointment time came, we were visited by Dr. Violetta. We didn't know what to expect at all with the procedure being done at hime, but Dr. Violetta made the process unbelievably comforting. From her professionalism with the process to the warmth and compassion she showed for us and our Maximus throughout the duration, she was truly a blessing to have with us as we said our goodbyes to him. I would like to send a great big heartfelt thanks to her again and extend our gratitude for such an exceptional experience. read more

Best vet experience I've had. Very good prices and they really took their time to check both my cats. I feel lucky to have found this place, their customer service and love for animals makes Desert Paws a 10/10. read more

I can not express enough my complete satisfaction for Desert Paws! Today was the 2nd time I called on them to come to our home and "put to sleep" one of our cats. The kindness and love shown to us (and our babies Latte & Maxx) both times is absolutely amazing! It is always a difficult decision but the right decision for our sweet kitties! While I hope we don't need to call again in the near future; I can say that any time we need to kindly euthanize any of our beloved animals Desert Paws will be the first (& only) call we make. read more

The vet and vet techs of Desert Paws were really good with my difficult cat. The fact that they come to your home is a huge plus. It made for a greatly less stressful experience. It's hard to describe why I liked them. They're authentic and compassionate and professional. I'd recommend them to any pet owner in Tucson. read more

We had to make an incredibly difficult decision to put our beloved dog to sleep after a difficult battle with kidney disease. Our Jackson had already had countless vet visits and he hated going so we couldn't bear the thought of taking him in for this goodbye. I had put in a call to another Vet service that offered At Home Euthanasia prior to finding Desert Paws and I did not hear back from them. Desert Paws called me back within the hour and the representative was so kind and understanding as we asked our questions about this process through tears. We set the appointment for the following day to have a final day with our beautiful baby. When Dr. Aimee Rodden arrived to our home that next day, she was so kind and gentle with our baby. Not to mention with us as we were just a mess. She walked us through the process and gave us the time and space to say goodbye. We never felt rushed. When it was time, our other dog even laid up next to her so peacefully as we said our final goodbye. I can only imagine how difficult it is to walk pet parents through this process but Dr. Rodden does it with such grace. We are so thankful that in the midst of one of most devastating decisions we had Desert Paws and Dr. Rodden through that process. From the first call, they were so compassionate and professional. I don't want to have to use them again anytime soon but I can say that I am happy knowing that they are there for other pet parents going through this difficult process. read more

Desert Paws is a very reasonably priced mobile vet service and they are the only people I trust to care for my pups. My family and I have been working with Dr. Martin for years I've had her and the team come out for quite a few house visits for my dogs. They are always friendly, thorough, and you and your pets feel comfortable having their team in your home. My dogs have had multiple operations at their surgical center without any complications and the recovery time is always fast and painless for both the pups and myself :) read more

My review is for Dr. Elisa Marusich and is long overdue. I am astounded that she went through the "fear-free" training because that is not at all what I experienced with her, nor did my pets. I have a very sweet chi-mix and during her visit, she never once offered her a treat or gave her a pet. I then brought out my Romeo who is can be fearful, however, I told her that he was treat-motivated, but she never once gave him a treat until I brought it up! When she examined Romeo, whom she never tried to garner any trust, I went into the other room when I heard a horrible scream from him through his muzzle - it was very disturbing to me. In addition, she wrote in the chart notes that she was seeing my animals for a "wellness" exam - however, the purpose of the visit was because my little girl broke a tooth and Romeo was having joint pain. Her inaccurate notes caused me an issue with my insurance, I had to call to ask her to properly document the reason for the visit which she did not do...., but luckily I explained the situation with my pet insurance reason and they covered it. I would never recommend her and suggest she stick with euthanasia which is the majority of what she does anyway. I am glad my insurance did cover her services as if she caused me further issues, I would have had to take her to civil court. read more

Very professional and friendly staff. They responded quickly to my pricing inquiry and fit in a visit for my cat with in 24 hours. They where on time! My cat doesn't take to strangers, but he quickly took to the the veterinarian and tech right away. Hands down best vet experience EVER! I will use them again in the future. read more
