Our Bella was a 15 year old Aussie when we made the decision to euthanize her at home. Dr Nicole communicated with us throughout the day as to her arrival time. She was so extremely kind and supportive. She explained to us how the process works and gave us as much time as we needed to say our goodbyes. This was the best possible outcome for an incredibly painful experience. It has been a month since Bella's death and I finally can write this without crying. Dr Nicole really helped us feel that we had made the right decision. Godspeed Bella and thank you so much for all your love over the many years.

This was one of the hardest days of my life. Serene Passages made it so much gentler. I reached out…read morethrough Yelp first as I couldn't quite make myself make the call. Don was incredibly kind and empathetic. He was able to give me quotes and all the information I required. I'm thankful for the auto message function as I had difficulty responding. My husband made the actual call weeks later. Don again, was incredibly empathetic and kind as he walked us through the steps. On that day, Dr.Nicole came over and was amazing. I couldn't have imagined a gentler experience for my babies. She was so patient, gentle and kind. I'm so thankful, I don't think I have the words to describe the gratitude I feel. I was so scared about them having scary anxious feelings when it came time for euthanasia. But after a lot of excitement which Dr.Nicole was gracious about, my babies settled down and sat with us. I am grateful for the conversations we had. We were never rushed, or judged. She was so empathetic. It was such a devastatingly sad, surreal experience. Neal had started to deteriorate so rapidly this year. His sister Sara had started to not be able to hide how ill she felt. I don't think I would have ever been ready to let them go. As I look back at my pictures and videos it's easier to see that they were both ill. It was so easy to look past it when they were here. I'd compare them to the pictures and just add accommodations for their comfort. Because their smiles, the love in their eyes...the tail wags were still there, different, but there. It was so hard to admit it was time. All the anxiety that had been eating away at me for months washed away and was replaced with a bottomless sadness and relief that my babies were no longer suffering. They were two amazing small little dogs who left an unfathomable chasm in my heart. The after care was also above and beyond. I can't recommend them enough. If you are reading this and you think it is time, Serene Passages is the correct choice.

During a very difficult time for our family and our sweet baby girl, Dr. Leah proved to be the…read moreperfect 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.

I want to thank Danielle and Dr. Becky for their quick help for my family and I. Danielle was kind…read moreenough to take the information about Sonny's urgent need when I initially called and was able to contact Dr. Becky, who graciously accepted taking our last minute late night house call (It was maybe less than an hour notice). Dr. Becky was gentle, patient, and flexible. She not only provided her services excellently, she explained every step, waiting to make sure we were ready for each step, told us what to expect and made a sad situation as positive as she could. The vehicle that Dr. Becky uses to transport our beloved boy was arranged beautifully. She had a blanket to keep him covered while he was transported into her van. She allowed us to have extra goodbye time and we each got to say goodbye again. My only suggestion for people who are paying for these services would be when the doctor asks If you'd prefer to complete payment before or after services, choose before. I chose to do it after and providing a payment while you're actively grieving is an interesting feeling and sight, and I'm sure it could also be uncomfortable for the doctor seeing a family crying and still having to ask for method of payment - sorry Dr. Becky. The next day, I saw I had received a voicemail from an unknown number. Dr. Becky left me a voicemail just to check in and see how we were doing since Sonny's passing and to let us know that she was thinking of us - thank you Dr. Becky. 2 weeks later, I followed up with AHPE to inquire on any steps I should be taking regarding picking up my boy's ashes. Danielle reached out to me directly via email and let me know that he was ready to be picked up, and it felt like a full circle moment. Danielle helped me from the first time I called needing help and was the last person I communicated with after all was said and done - Thank you Danielle, please know that those little details do stay with us. Danielle's email was kind and supportive, as every interaction I've had with her had been. Once my family and I arrived to pick up Sonny, at the address provided, the woman at the desk very kindly went to the back to grab our boy. She opened the gift box, created by Honor Pet, and revealed a beautiful wooden box with intricate carvings, the certification of water cremation (impressive service), a vial of my boy's fur, and the 2 paw prints we paid for. What we didn't pay for, that this company Honor Pet provided, was a candle that came with a cute poem, a packet of flower seeds (Forget-Me-Nots....are you crying yet?), a brochure for Pet Loss Grief, and my favorite one that I was not expecting..a little cardstock page, maybe 4x6" of his big booper snooper. My boys nose that I kissed so frequently in life, and was the last thing I kissed before saying goodbye to his body. We paid for the ashes, the paws, and I don't remember if the vial of fur was included or not, but the manner that each person and company, At Home Pet Euthanasia and Honor Pet, took care of Sonny and my family, made it worth every penny. When making the difficult decision at the vet's office to take him home, they offered to lower the price to be able to help us. We said, it's not all about the money, it's what we want for him. So, is it expensive? Yeah, but everything is. Could our situation have been handled or cared for better than it was? Probably not. I will recommend these services to anyone unfortunate enough to need them because they truly care about you and your loved one and we felt that.

My 14 year old boy was suffering from organ failure from a quick and aggressive cancer. And though we tried to save him, it all happened so quick and we unfortunately had to make the call to give him peace. The quickness of everything left me scrambling to find a vet that could come the next day. I knew I wanted my boy to pass on his favorite couch surrounded by family, and luckily this wonderful company had an opening for the following day. Dr. Daniel explained how everything would happen and I could tell he went peacefully. The only discomfort he had was the sedation shot which Dr. Daniel explained would sting just a little bit. I can't express how grateful I am to have had such a beautiful process arranged for my boy The best final gift to him Though it can be pricey, it's worth absolutely every penny to have had such a wonderful end of life experience as this Thank you all

Our little pup has been going downhill health wise over the past 6 months. Her eyesight started…read moregoing, then her hearing, she was getting lost in our living room. Eventually she started having seizures and cognitive decline. Friday night she couldn't walk after a seizure. I looked for less expensive options but 2 weeks out was too long for Lola. So, I reached out to Tranquil Tails and they responded within an hour and scheduled us for the next day. I unfortunately didn't make note of their names, but they quietly knocked on our door as my family sat around feeding Lola some whip cream and chocolate. They came in and calmly explained what was going to happen and lengths of time. After they gave her the sedative they walked away for 10 minutes to give us our last moments with her. Moments after the last medication was provided, she was at peace. We are so thankful we found Tranquil Tails to provide such a calming experience for Lola and our family. And the price, well worth the amount of peace to say goodbye to Lola in our own home on our own terms.

I messaged them through their website on a Friday afternoon and less than 10m, they reached out to me. They were able arrive to my house the following morning to perform Home-Euthanasia. Dr.Conner and her assistant were very respectful and performed the procedure with compassion. They explained the procedure step by step. This was my first home-euthanasia. I truly recommend Tranquil Tails Veterinary Services to say goodbye their loved pets in the most respectful way.

It's not what we wanted (him gone) but it was the right thing to do since he had become ill and wasn't wanting to eat. In contacting them over the phone and sharing our situation, the attendant was extremely responsive and empathetic to our situation. As the date got closer, our poor boy declined quicker and we even had to move the date up. The company was super flexible and understanding and we were grateful they were able to accommodate this move to two days earlier. When the day came, we were certainly sad. When Dr. Benson arrived, she was soft spoken and kind. She greeted Moose and as soon as he noticed someone had walked in he got up and wagged his tail the best he could. This scene brought me to tears because that was the essence of who Moose was as our pet. He loved ALL humans and was always seeking their attention. Dr. Benson pet Moose and gave him love and affection. He received it and then went to his bed shortly after. She explained the process to us from start to finish. She was gentle in her wording and handling of every last detail. We set Moose up in one of his favorite sunning spots in the yard on his bed. And gracefully, Moose crossed over the rainbow bridge. We were given plenty of time to spend with Moose as the sedative worked and then after the final moments we were able to say our final goodbyes. The gentlemen who came to take care of Moose afterwards was soft spoken and extremely kind. He took care of Moose and left respectfully as he came. We are so grateful from start to finish how this went with our beloved boy. We will forever miss him. But the send off he was given will be forever a part of his journey. Thank you, Paws into Grace. Your whole team are gems.

It's been two weeks since my dog came back to me from Paws into Grace. It was a sudden loss that I…read morewas grateful for this company to have a time slot last minute for my family. However, there were some not so great things or improvements they should consider. Initial call with the lady to schedule was alright. She honestly didn't cover much of information, I felt like I had to ask her a lot of questions that she initially didn't mention. If she can slowly just go over from start to finish, it would've eased my mind a little bit more during this horrible time. In details... I know this is a business, but also this isn't something people go through every year (hopefully). The doctor came and she was very understanding of the situation. It felt like she was genuinely sorry for what we were going through as she also lost hers not long ago. I do wish that she would've stepped outside the house to give me little more privacy, but it is what it is. Im sure I could've asked. She did her best in the circumstances. Now, the worst part of this experience was the picking up the ashes. It took me 1 hour round trip to get there and it took 2 seconds to get her back and leave the place. The lady came out with a brown bag and hurried me out the door. I honestly didn't know what to expect, but that wasn't it. I was dumbfounded of like what just happened? Can I at least take a moment to open the bag to see what's all inside? Take a moment to just take it all in that I'm picking my child up as ashes? It felt like 'ok, you paid me, now you can go' vibe. It would've been nice to just take a moment instead of being rushed out. Also not sure why they don't offer drop off, I know a lot of people would pay extra for that so at least they are home when they receive the ashes back and go back to cry all they want at home. I really do appreciate what this company does, but there are something that need some improvements.

I have no words to express my gratitude. From the moment I made that difficult call and spoke with…read moresweet Sherry (sp?) who was so very helpful, then my comforting talk with Dr. Shea, who was so wonderful and understanding, and above all completely honest with my Stella's overall condition, I couldn't have made this choice without her, I was completely lost and inconsolable. Dr. Shea was my guide in my time of need. When the final day came, Dr. Erica came to our home. She is this beautiful angel, with the most kind and gentle voice. She helped us walk our precious Stella over the Rainbow bridge in the beauty of silence, reverence, and peace, it was so beautiful. Dr. Erica sent us the most amazing sympathy card a few days later that touched my heart deeply. Honor Pet has not only been there throughout this difficult journey, but their kindness, compassion, professionalism and guidance have meant more to me and my family than they can ever know. Today, Stella is back home at her final resting place, where she belongs...they sent her home to us in this incredible Honor box which carried her remains, a mini glass bottle of her fur, a candle to burn if/when I need to feel her presence, a digital print of her beautiful little "chocolate chip nose" we all loved and adored, a package of Forget-Me-Not seeds to plant in her honor, and a letter conveying their deepest sympathy for our great loss. It was all so overwhelming and thoughtful. If anyone is faced with such a difficult decision as this, and you are like me, confused and doubting whether you're making the right end-of-life choice, I cannot recommend Honor Pet enough. I promise, you will be blessed and given the truth and confidence as to when that right time comes. Stella never suffered, because Dr. Shea went over her symptoms/behavior, but when she started showing signs that she was ready, I recognized them and knew. My Stella no longer is suffering... The devastation over losing a beloved pet cannot be fully described in words, other than this: "Grief is the Price we Pay to Love." I love you my sweet girl, wait for me.

But life be life'ing and I needed to find a different solution. I did a lot of research, looked at a lot of reviews, and made a lot of phone calls. And then I found Dogs On The Run. Woman owned. Small local business. Professional. Responsive. Informative. Bonded and insured. A website that's easy to navigate and book services through. Most important of all, though - the petsitter that came to "interview" with me (Abby) was kind, thorough, patient, and knowledgeable. My nervous anxious chihuahua wasn't the only nervous and anxious part of this equation anymore - I needed to trust this person *with my entire house and my beloved companion* and that doesn't come naturally for me. The entire company gently assured me that they had Luna's very best care as their mission. I finally booked services and planned my first vacation. The weeks leading up to this first trip were torture. For me and likely for poor Abby, too. I texted her reminders. I left her notes. My anxious brain spun and spun and spun. But I got on that plane and put all my faith into Abby's hands. And she shined. Abby not only won over my timid and scared doggo - she won over this distrusting and scarred human. I have cameras inside my house and I got to watch her interact so patiently and lovingly with Luna. She texted me pictures of a happy Luna on every visit and provided a list of services rendered each time. Trusting my pet with a stranger was hard. Trusting my entire household AND my pet with a stranger was absolute mental chaos. But. I'm so glad I did it. I now have two vacations under my belt with Abby - two successful, joyful vacations.
