My cat Chelsea passed away at home, peacefully. She was 16 years young. Since all of that happened without realizing it and after hours, I panicked a bit regarding what to do and how quickly to do it. From the moment I reached out to Peaceful Waters Aquamation, they treated me with so much kindness, patience, and understanding. Jennifer, who welcomed us, knew how much Chelsea meant to me and handled everything with genuine compassion and respect. What really meant the most was how gentle and thoughtful they were throughout the entire process. They didn't treat this like just another service, they truly honored my cat's life. That level of care made a heartbreaking situation just a little bit easier to bear. I selected to have Chelsea's ashes to be delivered in person. Kristine who delivered my cat's remains, handled everything beautifully and with such attention, it gave me a sense of peace knowing my pet was cared for so respectfully. Lastly, I can't say enough of how beautiful the paw prints were as well as the ashes in her little blue bag. I decided to purchase an urn somewhere else, but the way everything was presented to me upon reception made it feel like my cat was back home and it felt very comforting. I can't thank Peaceful Waters Aquamation enough for their compassion and support. If you're going through the loss of a beloved pet, I highly recommend them, they truly make a difference when you need it most.

My soul dog, Atlas, was diagnosed with an aggressive cancerous tumor of his upper jaw and sinuses…read morein December of 2025. Atlas was 13yo, and I made the difficult decision to decline the invasive treatment options available. Instead, I vowed that Atlas would live out the rest of his days with peace and joy, never stepping foot in a vet clinic again. Peaceful Veterinary Care allowed me to keep that vow to Atlas by giving him a calm and dignified passing at home surrounded by his favorite people. From the kind and empathetic staff answering my questions over the phone to Dr. Rose's professional and compassionate bedside manner with Atlas and me alike, everyone at Peaceful Veterinary Care is truly in service of the families they care for. The day of Atlas' passing was beautiful and bright, so we all went out to my backyard where Atlas could feel most comfortable. We were not rushed in our goodbyes or grief, and the entire process was quiet and calm... I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to plan those arrangements for my dearest boy. He deserved nothing less. I will add that I initially chose Peaceful Veterinary Care because I was especially interested in their aquamation services. I knew that I wanted Atlas' ashes, but I also wanted a more environmentally responsible option than traditional cremation. Atlas' remains were ready in one short week, and they even included a beautiful clay paw print and a small collection of fur. The loss of a beloved family pet is profound and devastating. The services offered by Peaceful Veterinary Care honor the sanctity of those deep bonds, allowing space to truly celebrate the life and love shared.

Finding Peaceful Veterinary Care was truly a blessing. From my first email, Stacy was incredibly kind and responsive, offering comfort during a very painful time. When Dr. Chapman arrived, she was gentle, patient, and compassionate, explaining everything clearly while making sure Shylaah was completely comfortable--so much so that she was snoring. I was given all the time I needed to say goodbye and never felt rushed. Shylaah was treated with dignity and love every step of the way, from the in-home euthanasia to receiving her ashes. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Chapman and Stacy and highly recommend Peaceful Veterinary Care.

I called Transitions, and they were kind enough to come to our home -- which made an incredibly difficult moment feel far more peaceful and personal. The veterinarian who came was exceptional. She walked me through every step of the process, kept me engaged and talking, and somehow managed to steady me through something I wasn't sure I could hold together for. Her composure and compassion made all the difference. When it was over, she gave me quiet time alone with Max -- no rushing, no awkwardness. Just space to say goodbye. Transitions handled one of the hardest moments of my life with remarkable care and sensitivity. I can't recommend them enough.

This was our first time using an in-home euthanasia service. It was a tough decision and my husband…read moreand I debated if it was the right thing to do. When we called, I believe, Kim, answered the phone with so much sweetness and kindness. She was patient and answered all of my questions and concerns, all through my tears and sniffles. I called on a Friday afternoon and booked our appointment for Sunday afternoon. She sent clear email instructions and told us to call for anything. Dr. Justin Altman showed up at 2:30pm on the dot. He came in with a comforting confidence. He sat with us and let our Big Black Bear, Rossi, the sweetest 14 year old Black Lab, warm up to him. It didn't take long, as Rossi loved everyone. He was a gentle giant. Justin saw the large mass on his front left leg and immediately said bone cancer as well as explained the quick decline he must have had. He asked us questions about Rossi's health and behavior and reassured us it was the right decision, we NEEDED to hear this from a professional, as the cancer had most likely spread elsewhere in his body and the mass would not go away. Once he explained all of this, we were ready to proceed. My husband and Justin easily moved Rossi onto his bed. Justin explained the process, and allowed us all the time we needed. The sedative that would kick in and relax him and take away his pain, and then the euthanasia injection. He gave us privacy to say our final goodbye after he had checked that his heart had stopped beating. He returned with a small stretcher to carry out Rossi's body to his car. His wife Robin would receive Rossi's body for aquamation. A three week process. We had filled out the form prior to the euthanasia so Rossi could start right away. We picked him up in Lakeside and was given a paw print and a beautiful brown box with his remains. Kim, Justin, and Robin were extremely professional and sympathetic. I highly recommend their services and will be referring them in the future to all my fur Mamas and Papas.

We reached out on Tuesday and were expecting to have until Friday, but on Tuesday night our poor baby took a serious decline.

My mom, who has had the hardest time with this whole ordeal, is so, so grateful for the great care with which the entire situation was handled. Thank you so much Elizabeth and Dawn for being so wonderful! We are truly eternally grateful!!!

There was no upselling and we really appreciated that. When we picked up our pet they gave us a beautiful bag with butterflies and his box was sealed with a little paw print and had beautiful dog themed tissue paper. They even gave us a sympathy card from their staff. Cremation was very affordable and we were well taken care of. We highly recommend this family owned business in Rolando, near La Mesa and SDSU.
