Absolutely amazing…read more All of the reviews say it all already, but given how many keep adding their reviews speaks to the incredible service they provide, and how passionate we are about our own personal pet story and BluePearl's part in that story. Our Lilah was 18 years old and had kidney disease and hyperthyroidism for 3 years. Having cats before, I knew it was futile to fight old age and disease. I gave her, her meds, but I wanted to be accepting that cats don't live forever. Interestingly, Lilah kept kicking despite the disease. She kept going along, and I knew one day I would know when it was time. Lilah was a consummate house cat. She was perfectly happy being indoors, with a warm place to sleep and nothing exciting going on. And so, when it was time, we knew Lilah didn't want to go anywhere. She just wanted to be home, with us cuddled around her. BluePearl made the process so easy. From the online appointment system (because, who wants to call a place to say those words 'i'd like to make an appointment to euthanize my cat?!) to the vet who came so compassionately. Lilah didn't even notice anything was going on, which was amazing because she didn't need any more stress. The vet walked in so gently and explained everything to us so compassionately, and allowed the process to be so amazingly peaceful. Even when it was time to take her away, she wrapped her delicately in this fluffy bed, so respectfully. Yes, it was pricey, but it was totally worth it. I'd recommend Blue Pearl for sure, and would use their services again, if need be. Thank you so much!

She explained the process to us before beginning and provided comfort to us while we petted and kissed our boy as he slipped away. We felt so fortunate that we were able to give him a stress free passing for the many years of joy and companionship he gave us. And we are so very grateful to Dr. Michelle for her professionalism, kindness and care in making this difficult time bearable. We would highly recommend Dr. Michelle and Blue Pearl for end of life services for your family fur baby.

She arrived on time, gently explained every step of the process, and treated us and our 17-year-old cat with kindness, patience, and compassion.

Jeannie helped make an incredibly painful experience feel calm and peaceful. Our cat passed away quietly in our arms, surrounded by the people who loved her. Jeannie's warmth and compassion meant more to us than words express. I would highly recommend her to any family facing this difficult decision.

I couldn't have asked for better therapist and person to bring into my life during the most difficult of times. From our very first session, it's like it was meant to be. She was so incredibly understanding and compassionate. She basically held my hand through all the steps I had to go through, that Capone and I had to go through together. She stood by our side for a year. She guided me, emotionally and spiritually. She taught me how to think rationally when making tough decisions, she celebrated our small wins, she talked to me through the darkest of times, all the vet visit, radiation treatments, times filled with tears and guilt. She honored the bond Capone and I have. She helped me stay strong. she taught me to write down what I was feeling, she showed me techniques to get through moments when I would be alone. she constantly checked in and made sure I kept in touch. She held space and even cried with me. And after everything was all said and done, she was still right there, spiritually and emotionally by Capone and my side. She has so much experience with animals both in the veterinary field and as a fur mama herself. I could not have asked for anyone better to be by my side, to share Capone and my journey with. I am forever grateful, and truly honored to have met her. She has a very special gift and an even more beautiful heart. I couldn't recommend her enough. This is exactly what she was born to do. To Cara, Today, 4.16.24, marks the one year anniversary since Capone transitioned. I just wanted to reach out and tell you I am forever grateful for all of your love and support through that really hard time. Thank you for showing up for Capone and I, thank you for selflessness, thank you for your patience, thank you for your understanding. Thank you for your beautiful heart and thank you for being the incredible friend you are! Couldn't have done it without you! Sending all the love and hugs your way! LOVE YOU

He had a brain tumor, and on his last day, he couldn't stand up, eat, or drink. Brian & Jenn were able to miraculously make space in their schedules, despite having so many clients to care for that day, in order to help our dog on his day of need. It would have been a tough night otherwise. We are so grateful for their kindness and commitment. It's clear how much they care for animals and for the humans who look after them. Thank you. One important note: Brian, Jenn, and other doctors who help with end-of-life care for animals often have busy schedules booked a few days in advance. It's very important to have a few doctors in mind just in case your preferred doctor(s) are not available on your day of need. Ask Brian & Jenn's office for a list of referrals if that happens.

For fourteen and a half years, he was our faithful companion, our hiking partner, our source of laughter, and a cherished member of our family. Making the decision to let him go was the hardest act of love we have ever faced, but Dr. Amanda's gentleness gave us the strength to do what was best for him. She treated Sonny with such dignity and tenderness, and she treated us with the same compassion.

Although our home feels unbearably empty, we find peace in knowing that Sonny's final moments were filled with love, surrounded by the people who adored him and cared for him so deeply. Thank you for the work you do every day. It takes extraordinary hearts to help families through such profound loss, and we will always be grateful that you were there for ours.

When I contacted Restful Paws, I didn't know what to expect. In fact, I felt bad crying on the phone because I couldn't imagine trying to talk to someone like me at that moment. But the staff couldn't be more understanding and supportive. Unlike making end of life decisions for your fur baby, the process of scheduling this appointment was very easy. Restful Paws asked all the right questions, set the expectations, and made this process that much easier. And on the day of, Dr. Ami arrived promptly at the scheduled time.

Weeks later, we received a card from Dr. Ami sending us her condolences. Thank you, Restful Paws, for doing the service that you do.

Dr. Araba and her skilled technician Jennifer visited us today for the 1st Vet appt of our 12-wk old Great Pyrenees puppy. We had many questions ready, but her New Puppy Topics sheet and detailed verbal share answered all of our questions, and of course, all of the questions we didn't even know to ask. She was ready to explain vaccination Qs for travel (LA, valley, Tahoe. as well as planned international), grooming, micro-chipping, et al. Finally, we have a very experienced dog-trainer in our group and Dr. Araba was able to connect his expertise to her own recommendations, also bridging the gap for my own dated dog-raising history. Cannot recommend her enough. We're looking forward to enjoying the support of Dr. Araba as our puppy heads from 16 lb to 95 lb!!

We contacted Blue Sparrow immediately after accepting the fact that we'd be starting hospice care for my dog and could lose him any time. Due to the placement of his tumor, we decided that we needed a veterinarian to come to our home as we didn't want to risk putting him into the car. Immediately after the first appointment, Dr. Araba recommended a series of supplements that relieved his joint pain, and brought him back to a higher quality of life. In fact, we got nearly 20 additional months with him after having him see Dr. Araba for the first time. While it's sad to know that Tiger has crossed the rainbow bridge, I find comfort in knowing that I chose a veterinarian + staff that provided him the highest level of care and compassion. In fact, Tiger would even jump around and be excited at Dr. Araba's arrival for his regular appointment. Everyone at this practice cares SO much about the well being of your furry friend. I can't recommend them enough. Know your loved one is in good hands if they're being seen by Blue Sparrow!
