It's taking me seven weeks to write this review, my heart still hurts and misses our sweet boy, Brody. We contacted Dr. Cynthia Servantez. She was kind, understanding & very patient during a difficult time for my husband & I. We had our boy for 13 years. She came to our house, said some caring words to our boy and explained everything in great detail. She let us have the time that we needed with him knowing how hard this is, we were not rushed. We chose to have our sweet boy, Brody cremated and brought back home to us. Everything was beautifully done. I know she's very busy, and let us know it would be about 3 week or so. We have our sweet boy back at home, we miss him so very much, but not having to go to our loud crowded, veterinarian office, was a blessing as it was something we were not looking forward to. We recommend Dr Cynthia Servantez, when the time comes for your fur babies to cross over the rainbow bridge read more

Tonight, our beautiful boy Maxie crossed the rainbow bridge in peace thanks to Dr. Servantez. We knew it was time, and I made the call to Dr. Servantez early this morning. She was able to fit us in the same day, and although we are devastated, she made the process so much easier. Her kindness was unmatched, and we were so appreciative of her walking us through the process, and giving us lots of time to say goodbye. Maxie was able to go in his bed, peacefully, and we wouldn't change it for the world. He was the happiest boy, who loved everything and everyone, but especially Dr. Servantez and her treats! Thank you again. read more

Our beloved Charlie, one of our three dogs, sadly had to be put down on 6.20.25 due to health reasons. We did not want to euthanize Charlie at the vet's clinic, as our other two dogs would not be able to be there. I searched online and luckily found Dr. Servantez with Paw In Hand. This was the first time we had ever experienced having to put one of our dogs down. She was the ultimate professional, gentle, and kind. Emotionally intelligent, and genuinely empathetic. She explained the whole process, what to expect, and took her time with us and Charlie. Even though this was a tremendously sad experience, she made it bearable with her humane, magic touch, allowing my wife, kids, and our other two dogs to be present at every stage of the process. Dr. Servantez is doing God's work and healing us in the process. Thank you sincerely, Dr. Servantez. Peace be with you, Oscar & Nelly C. read more

There are few words to describe the pain of losing a beloved pet and the process is never an easy one, but thanks to Dr. Servantez, it went as smooth and peaceful as it could have. From the moment Dr. Servantez arrived, there was peace. Our dogs all ran to greet her and she welcomed them with open arms. She welcomed us to choose if we wanted our other 3 dogs to be present for the process, explaining why it could be beneficial if we chose that route. Dr. Servantez explained the entire process to us and then when we were ready to get started, she began. At each point she gave us time and grace before moving onto the next step. When the process was over, one of our other dogs (Bella) walked over to see our now passed away dog (Scout) and Dr. Servantez, picked her up gently and held Bella to sniff Scout and say goodbye. She patiently waited until Bella was done and started walking away on her own, before taking Scout out of the yard. The professionalism, kindness, and outright love Dr. Servantez toward animals is truly remarkable. There couldn't have been a better person to have helped us send our beloved Scout over the rainbow bridge. Thank you again Dr. Servantez. read more

Compassionate and caring, Dr. Servantez focused on the needs of our distressed cat and kept my wife and me in conversation each step of the process. After 18 and a half years of laughter and companionship, Rocky passed peacefully in his home. read more

Cynthia was exactly what I needed. From the moment she answered the phone until she dropped off my baby's ashes, she was amazing. She was very kind and extremely professional through the entire process. Not only did she treat me and my family with kindness and respect, but my beautiful Lily as well. Her energy is so soothing and peaceful. I couldn't have asked for a better experience in such a difficult circumstance. She took the time to explain everything from the process to the time frame. I had no questions and knew we were all in the right hands. Even the way in which she handled Lily's body once she had passed gave me comfort. I am forever grateful I found Cynthia. I hope not to need her services again, but in the event I do, at least I know she will make a devastating situation a little better. I will be recommending her to anyone who may need it. read more

We had to put down our beloved 13 yr old Chow Keiko. Dr Servantes made an emotionally painful experience beautiful. Keiko passed surrounded by her family including our other Chow Hanzo. Thank you doc, you have set a very high standard. read more

We have contacted Dr. Servantez twice to help our sweethearts cross into heaven. She is very patient, kind, and empathetic. She helped make the process as easy as possible. I knew I didn't want to take my cats to the vet for this since that is a stressful environment. Doing the transition at home was 100% the right choice for us. I will always remember the little details that made a world of difference to me: the sweet basket to carry them out of our home, how she arranged my cat's little head on a pillow when I was crying on the floor, and all of the mementos provided with the box of ashes. Dr. Servantez is an angel on earth. Making this decision is always a difficult one, and I know that it was the best one for us to help ease what our cats were going through.

The Most Compassionate and Caring Veterinarian -- Dr. Cynthia Servantez Unfortunately, our family dog was suddenly diagnosed with a brain tumor and declined very quickly. We were faced with one of the hardest decisions of our lives -- saying goodbye. We wanted him to be at home, surrounded by love and comfort, so we reached out to Dr. Cynthia Servantez. From the very first moment, she was incredibly responsive and compassionate. She scheduled to come the very next evening, after our kids had gone to bed, so we could have a quiet, peaceful goodbye. When she arrived, I was heartbroken and emotional, and she completely understood where I was coming from. Dr. Servantez took the time to explain everything step by step -- what would happen, how it would feel, and what she would be doing. She gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye and gently stepped out so we could have those last moments together. When she returned, she began the procedure with such care, respect, and kindness. After our sweet dog had crossed the rainbow bridge, she again stepped outside to give us more time. By the end of the night, it felt like she was part of our family. She wasn't just doing her job -- she was living her calling. Her compassion, patience, and empathy were beyond anything I could have expected. About a week later, Dr. Servantez personally delivered our dog's ashes back to our home. Once again, she showed such gentleness, warmth, and genuine sympathy. Not that I would ever want to go through something like this again, but if I ever had to, she would be the one I'd call. Dr. Servantez is truly an amazing human being -- passionate, kind, and a blessing to families going through heartbreak. I will never forget the care she gave us that night. read more

How do I even begin... Loosing a beloved family member and having to make one of the hardest decisions in life is not easy. I wish I had the best words to describe such an amazing person and respectful experience. Dr Servantez is the Mother Theresa of dogs and has the biggest, most beautiful heart I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. She was beyond respectful, professional and just perfect. She is worth every penny & then some. She is SO knowledgeable. My dog was the literal love of my life and to have such a respectful and beautiful ending - perfectly depicted an amazing life. There are no words to express my gratitude for this amazing human. She is truly an angel. read more

Putting your pet down is one of the most difficult decisions anyone can make. Then comes the challenge of finding the right person to help you through it with peace and empathy. Dr. Servantez exceeded every expectation. Making this decision was not easy, but from my very first phone call with Dr. Servantez, I felt a sense of peace. She truly listened and allowed me to express how difficult this was. Even though I'm sure she's heard similar stories many times before, she never made me feel like just another client. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly and helped me see the situation from a more comforting perspective. Minnie was, and always will be, my world. For nearly 15 years she gave us the best life and I knew she deserved to go peacefully surrounded by love and in the comfort of her own home and since she was an anxious dog, we didn't want to take her to a clinic. As soon as Dr. Servantez walked through our door, Minnie was calm and in that moment, I knew we had made the right decision. Dr. Servantez gently reassured us that, given Minnie's health complications, we were doing the right thing at the right time. She explained every step with so much compassion and empathy. She gave us extra time to say our final thank yous and "I love yous" privately. When it was time to take Minnie, she handled her with the utmost care and respect. Though my heart was breaking, I also felt a deep peace knowing Minnie was treated with such love and dignity. Two weeks later, Dr. Servantez personally delivered Minnie's ashes, her paw print, and a beautiful poem that I will cherish forever. Thank you, Dr. Servantez, for your kindness, compassion, and the comfort you brought us during such a painful time. read more

Our german shepherd was suffering from hip dysplasia and had lost the ability to walk and our beloved chihuahua had declined due to age and was showing signs of dementia. I am so thankful for Dr. Servantez and Marisol who were so kind, thoughtful, and patient with us through both of the euthanasia processes.

Putting down my baby boy Bucky has been one on the most difficult things I have had to do. I had him for 15 beautiful years and I miss him every single day. Dr. Servants and Brian, took this terrible life changing event and turned it into something beautiful and peaceful. We said our goodbyes in Buckys favorite bed and we gave him his last kiss goodnight. During this time they not only did what they needed to do but found a way to comfort us, all at the same time, this was unexpected but I will forever be thankful for how sensitive and graceful they handled everything. They took my boy in a beautiful basket and brought him home a few days later. They hand delivered him with a nice hug. (I'm not a big hugger but I needed that at this exact time THANK U Brian) I thank God that someone has the ability to do these types of services, and help us during these difficult times. If you are going to need these services I highly recommend them. I have no words to express my gratitude. read more

I unfortunately didn't receive service from Dr Servantez, but she was beyond compassionate. Earlier this year our 13 year old frenchie had a major health situation and we thought we'd need her services. Dr Servantez took the time to talk with me for a good half an hour. Luckily our frenchie made it through, but the vet found tumors and told us that it was just a matter of time. This morning we unfortunately lost our dog; we were able to use another at home service but we are beyond appreciative of the help and compassion that Dr Servantez gave us earlier this year. read more

We had to say goodbye to our senior pup --it was one of the hardest things we've ever had to do. Dr. Servantez showed incredible empathy and care throughout the entire process. She walked us through each step with compassion, explained everything clearly, and gave us the space to say our final goodbyes. Choosing at-home euthanasia was absolutely worth it. Being surrounded by family and our other fur babies in a familiar, peaceful environment made the experience far less stressful for our beloved pet compared to a trip to the clinic. Dr. Servantez's gentle presence made an incredibly painful moment more manageable, and we're deeply grateful for the comfort and dignity she brought to our pup's final moments. read more

I'm so grateful for Dr. Servantez. I called twice, first to ask for services, and then again to discuss her thoughts on having my son present, both times she was patient and kind. We had next day services, and we were able to put my cat to sleep in his favorite place, the backyard. The breeze flowed through Lou's fur, and chimes rang in the background as my handsome boy took his last breath. It was beautiful and heartbreaking, but I'm grateful to give my cat the dignified end he deserves. Dr. Servantez is professional and kind, talking us through the process, and also giving us time to give Lou final hugs and kisses. I've already passed along Dr. Servantez's contact to a friend, I hope they do not need services any time soon, but when they do, Paw In Hand is the best route to take. read more
