Peace for Paws was truly a blessing during one of the most difficult moments of our lives. Being able to spend Nala's final moments in the comfort of her own home meant everything to us. Nala always experienced anxiety when visiting the vet, and I couldn't bear the thought of her last day being filled with stress and fear. If you're on the fence about in-home euthanasia for your beloved pet, I can wholeheartedly say that Peace for Paws is worth it. Dr. Sarena and her team were prompt, professional, compassionate, and incredibly caring throughout the entire process. They helped make a heartbreaking goodbye as peaceful and dignified as possible. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for providing such a wonderful service. We will always be grateful for the kindness and comfort you brought to Nala and our family. read more

Letting your pet go is never easy and I am grateful with how Peace for Paws helped us through this painful process. The website had wonderful suggestions on how to set your pet up in a relaxing area, how to handle the other pets maybe wanting to say goodbye, and what to expect throughout the process. I especially appreciated Dr. Olsen walking us through each step again when she was onsite. Sometimes it is difficult to remember what we read as we are actually in the process and focusing on our last minutes with our beloved. Dr. Olsen was near but not hovering so we didn't feel rushed at all; we controlled the pace at all times. She made in-the-minute suggestions that I'm so glad she asked since I know I would have regretted not doing so. For instance, she and I lovingly put my sweet dog into a basket after she left us and Dr. Olsen asked if I would like to carry her out. I balked at first but I'm so glad I did. It helped in my process of letting my darling go. Dr. Olsen had made the back of her SUV a loving tribute as I slid the basket into the back of the vehicle with a blanket for the basket to lay on and a beautiful sentiment nearby on an easel. I'm grateful to Dr. Olsen for making this difficult time as peaceful and calm as it could be. I'm so glad we chose Peace for Paws. read more

Thank you for the kindness of Dr. Sarena and her caring staff. It was time for my best friend Fred to pass and I made the difficult but right decision to let him pass peacefully at home. When I initially called to get information, I had a lot of anxiety and didn't think I was ready. I let the phone ring a couple of times and I hung up. Thankfully, they have caller ID and they called me back. I spent about 20 minutes on the phone being comforted in regards to my situation. It was beyond helpful in that moment and I will never forget it. A few days later, Dr Sarena came to our house and we said goodbye to our boy. It was calm, quiet, and peaceful. It's been six weeks and I finally have the strength to write this review because it is very well deserved. Thank you to Peace for Paws. They live up to their name and make one of the hardest moments a little bit easier. Forever thankful, Fred's Mom read more

I wanted to update my review to include the photos of the keepsakes I received later on from the cremation business that Peace for Paws works with. The amount of care and time they and Peace for Paws put in and presentation of the items was above and beyond in my opinion. I definitely was not expecting them packaged so beautifully. The items, like the frame and urn I chose was beautiful, including a name plaque for my cat. The best service for everything regarding the situation overall. Thank you again. ‍ read more

I am so grateful I chose Peaceful Paws. Dr. Sarena was incredibly personable and kind throughout the entire process, and she made such a heartbreaking day feel truly peaceful. The thoughtful touches meant so much, especially the gift bag with the candle, rose and information about pet grief along with the beautiful box to carry my sweet Peewee out, and even the option to submit a memorial on their website. They also followed up a couple of times after the appointment and sent a card in the mail a few days later, which meant more than I can say! You can truly tell Dr. Sarena takes great pride, love, and care in what she does. What she gives families during such a tender time is a real gift. They will always have my recommendation. read more

Thank You to Dr. Sarena and Peace for Paws Having to say goodbye to our precious Pretzel was the most difficult decision we've ever had to make. During such a heartbreaking time, Dr. Sarena with Peace for Paws showed us extraordinary compassion, kindness, and respect.

She took the time to explain everything, honored our emotions, and treated Pretzel with dignity and love every step of the way.

I cannot express enough gratitude for Dr. Sarena and the compassionate care she provided through Peace for Paws. She came to our home during one of the most difficult moments of my life and helped us say goodbye to our beloved dog, Chaos, with so much dignity, kindness, and love. From the moment she arrived, she was gentle, patient, and incredibly understanding. She took the time to answer all of my questions and walked us through the entire process with clarity and compassion. Never once did we feel rushed -- she gave us the space and time we needed to say goodbye in our own way. Her presence brought a sense of calm during such a heartbreaking moment. She truly helped make an incredibly painful experience feel peaceful and supported. Dr. Sarena is a beautiful soul, and I am so grateful for the care and compassion she showed us and our sweet Chaos. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and respectful end-of-life service for their pet. read more

Our fur girl came with us on a lot of adventures all over the west including Glacier, Crater Lake, Grand Canyon, Zion, Cannon Beach, Idaho, Utah, California, Oregon, and Nevada. When it became clear her health was failing at almost 15 years of age, we wanted her to have a peaceful passing at home. Our vet recommended Peace for Paws. Dr. Sarena Olsen was kind, caring, friendly, and professional during this difficult time. She took her time and made our baby as comfortable as possible. It was a peaceful process. Also our other dog got to watch his sister pass which brought all of us comfort. The vet also transported our doggie as we requested. She gave us ample time to say our goodbyes. It's so heartbreaking losing our fur kids, but when it's necessary, doing it at home in familiar setting was very comforting. read more

At a very emotional time Dr Olsen was very kind and compassionate. My old lady Nala dog was nearing 13 and was no longer living her best doggy life unfortunately. Dr Olsen provided available dates as it wasn't an emergency situation and was able to accommodate our needs as a family. I am very thankful for her in home service as my dog hated the vets office. She was thorough and thoughtful. Explained the process and gave us as much time as needed to say goodbye. She personalized her transport service and provided a great send off for a loving family pet. She gave my sweet old lady the dignity she deserved on the way out. She's now running with her brother somewhere fun on the beach. read more

Today I had to say goodbye to my best friend of nearly 14 years. The last thing I wanted to do was try to drag him into a veterinarian's office and have him go in a place that he was not comfortable in or that he doesn't consider to be his home. The services that Dr. Sarena provides made this process so much easier on everybody. We were able to say goodbye in the most comfortable setting he could be in...his own home. Dr. Sarena is one of the most professional, compassionate, and amazing people I have ever met. I would give her a hundred stars if I had the opportunity. There is a reason she has a perfect rating on her services. Dr. Serena, THANK YOU for making this process easier on us, but more importantly, on my best friend. I obviously never want to have to refer your services to anybody, but, I can promise you that not only will I refer you to others in that situation, I will emphatically refer you to others in this situation. read more

Would highly recommend to anyone considering. read more

I have been so blessed by having chosen Dr Serena to assist my 2 elder furbabies in their journey over the Rainbow Bridge. Her kindness and compassion to my pets, and myself before, during and after these painfully sad moments, is genuinely a virtue of a dedicated and caring veterinary practitioner. Knowing my furbabies had a peaceful crossover to eternal life, helped ease my pain of having to let them go to that better place. Pet heaven received 2 furry angels those 2 days, and earth has Dr.Serena, for any furbaby parents facing this painful decision for their pets, I suggest you reach out to her,and her staff. read more

My princess Zoey was ready to transition and even though it was the most difficult decision, Dr. Serena helped make it less difficult. My daughter flew in from PA to spend Zoey's last days. Being at home with my other tuxedo cat, was best for him as well. They spent 13 years together and although he was there, I believe they got to say their goodbyes. Dr Serena was very compassionate and she was so helpful at a time when we needed someone to guide us through it. The ceremony was very nice. The ashes in a beautiful box and a momento of fur and a paw print in a little plaque that we could put her photo in, was beautiful. I'm so glad she was recommended by a neighbor. read more

We cannot say enough good things about Peace for Paws. We urgently needed to schedule at home Euthanasia for our 23 year old cat. He declined severely overnight on a Saturday into a Sunday and we couldn't wait until Monday. Our kitty most likely wouldn't have made it much longer. Dr. Sarena made an exception because of the bad shape our boy was in and scheduled us at the end of her day. She was an angel. So compassionate, so gentle, so caring, so sweet and we didn't mind welcoming her into our home. She made the best experience possible out of something that was literally one of the most heartbreaking moment of our lives. I will recommend her to anyone I can. From the bottom of our hearts. Thank you Dr. Sarena. Shoe, rest in paradise. read more

Dr. Sarena came to our home and administered the drugs to allow our precious Rottweiler to pass away peacefully. She arrived on time, explained the process, offered the paw print (nice touch) and was very sympathetic and patient. Ellie and Audrey were very responsive in scheduling it and keeping us informed throughout. The price ($370) was reasonable and fair. Other companies would have charged more. Ellie was very kind and followed up days later with sympathy. Overall it was a very good experience in an otherwise horrific situation for a dog with end stage cancer. I recommend Peace for Paws. read more

It has taken me 20 months to write this second review for Dr. Sarena. Nearly a year after we had to say goodbye to our boy coonhound, we needed to make the same call about our girl. Dr. Sarena came on Christmas Eve morning (that alone is a reflection of her kindness). She was supportive, caring, compassionate, and the process itself was exceptionally peaceful. Having to say goodbye is heartbreaking. Even now, all these months later, I get misty eyed writing this. Still, I know we absolutely made the right decision. Thank you, Dr. Sarena. read more

Dr. Serena was super comforting and professional. You can tell she loves animals and cares about their families as well. Dr. Serena made the whole service very special for my bf and family. She went above and beyond during her time at the house. She allowed us to be with Charolette as long as we wanted, took an awesome paw print of her with a small bottle of her beautiful fur. Once it was time to transport our sweet dog. She was transported in what looked like a beautiful living room that was customized with her name. While in the back of Dr.Serenas car. Once the service was over we got a beautiful bag with a pamphlet on ways to help cope with loss, some bubbles to blow in your pets honor, and a candle with a flower. After a few days of losing our beloved dog. We received a text checking in on how we were doing and a card as well. read more

We had to make the difficult decision of euthanizing our beloved fur baby Gracie. Dr Olsen provided detailed information on her website, email and her texts. We were prepared with our family surrounding our loving pup (14years young) and we were able to hug and kiss her when she finally relaxed once she was sedated. Dr Olsen allowed us to take our time, say a prayer and allowed each of us to say our goodbyes. Once it was time to take our pup away, she was placed on a gurney, wrapped in a beautiful blanket and placed in the back of her vehicle that was decorated with a beautiful rug, flowers, latern and a sign that said "not by our side but Gracie will forever be in our hearts." My pup is no longer in pain and she was able to fall asleep peacefully. Thank you Dr Olsen for making Gracie's last moments beautiful. read more

Dr. Sarena Olsen made a difficult, heartbreaking act easy for me and painless for my beloved 20-year-old cat Mollie. Mollie was the biggest scaredy-cat on the planet. She was afraid of everything; I would joke that we were two neurotic old ladies propping each other up. Despite my best efforts to keep her calm before the appointment, Mollie sensed my distress, and when Dr. Olsen arrived did her usual mad dash around and around the couch, complaining loudly, even though she was in pain. Dr. Olsen took it in stride and was able to halt her escape. When she was finally in my lap (her favorite place in the world), Dr. Olsen was kind and slow and gentle with the procedure. Once she was sedated and finally out of pain, with the doctor's help Mollie just slid softly into her next life. Dr. Olsen was so professional yet personal, calm and compassionate, and really listened when I asked questions. She left lots of little mementos that I will cherish forever. Mollie and I were so lucky that the vet put me onto her. I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you need to say goodbye to a beloved pet, call Dr. Olsen at Peace for Paws. She is perfect. read more

While this experience is something I don't think anyone ever wants to go through - I would drive 1000 miles to use Dr Sarena if I had to again...which we likely will for our other companion pets. She was so gentle and kind with not only our sweet Sugar, but also with our family. Her empathy was felt as she guided us in the steps we were going to take from the first phone call until Sugars last breath. I had been stalling on writing this, probably as it felt so official, until today she reached out to check in our family. Wow. She really is a special human being. Thank you Dr Serena for your heart, your strength to do this for families and companions and your compassion. read more

Dr Serena was absolutely amazing! I say this with a broken heart but the blow that I had to endure was softened as much as possible by her warmth, professionalism, and caring attitude. No words can express how sad of a day this was for me, but Dr Serena came in and allowed me and my daughter to hold my little girl without feeling rushed until we were ready to say goodbye. I'm not warm and cuddly to people and Dr Serena could tell that although her services were needed, we really did not feel in a place to socialize or converse. She came in very professionally and set up and waited gently and patiently until we said we were ready. My little girl went to heaven in peace and my daughter and I got to spend all the time we needed with her. The doctor knew when it was all done that we just wanted to be alone with my little Jewel. We kept her body and buried it under a beautiful flower bush, something jewel loved to walk around and sniff. I later found a gift bag that Dr. Serena left (we were so involved with my little Jewel that we didn't even notice that she left it) with some sweet gifts and a brochure to help me through this hard time. I would recommend Peace for Paws to anyone who has a fur baby that is ready to pass with love and integrity. My little girl passed with my daughter and I hugging and loving on her, with kisses, and gentle words. I know she was happy as she floated off to heaven. Thank you, Dr Serena for these wonderful services that you offered to our family a to our community! read more

My ONLY regret involving the use of Dr. Sarena's Peace for Paws service is having taken SO LONG to give her a well-deserved PERFECT review. There isn't a single detail she missed, not one service offered that wasn't needed and deeply appreciated, not one procedure performed that failed to meet the highest standards of Veterinary end-of-life care for my sweet Bam-Bam. My 17-year-old Chihuahua Bammy had slowly devolved to where he was no longer our pet, he was a 24/7 patient. He was cursed with one of the worst possible afflictions to befall a dog, the dreaded Canine Cognitive Disorder Syndrome (CCDS), also known as "Doggie Dementia." His diagnosis came nearly 2-1/2 years prior, just shy of turning 15. I have no desire to minimize what other Doggie Daddies and Mommies witness happening to their beloved FurrBabies as fatal diseases and accidents ALL result in the loss of their one-and-only. But CCDS is particularly cruel in that, just like human Alzheimer's or Dementia, their bodies are mostly okay, but they quite literally lose their minds. They look at you like a stranger--they get lost in their home, at times getting "stuck" in a corner being unable to find their way out. Just prior to me feeling the need to call Dr. Sarena, The Bamster was out in the yard to do his business. He stopped and froze as if not knowing where he was--then whine-cried such a pathetic sound while hanging his little head as if pleading with me to say, "Papa, I can't take this torture anymore. Please let me go." In that instant, I realized all the extraordinary things being done to (or for) Bam-Bam were to keep him around just a little longer for US, not for HIM. I called Dr. Sarena ONLY AFTER reading scores of 5-star reviews heaping praise on her. That initial call sealed the deal--her compassionate tone and words of understanding and comfort were an almost instant sense of relief that I was doing the right thing and had contacted the right person. Two days later, the good doctor arrived. For those who've never been through euthanizing a beloved animal, there are no easy ways around what's coming. But the alternative is to take your loved one to a Vet Clinic with ice cold, antiseptic exam tables and all the frightening sounds that come with a Vet's office. That said, the procedures do not vary. There's no need to cover the details in this review. If you have questions, PLEASE ask Dr. Sarena. The doctor arrived on time. She was immediately comforting, knowing her mere presence in our home was something we ultimately dreaded. She introduced herself to us and Bam-Bam, in a loving manner only a true dog lover would understand. Her soothing words and gentle manner set us all at ease. Once the IV was in and working to her satisfaction, she suggested I take as much time as I needed to say goodbye. (I'm bawling again just thinking of that moment.) When I gave her the okay, she told me what to expect--how my sweet boy would react to the drugs and take his last breath. I read once--and it had a profound impact on me--that WE OWE IT TO OUR FOREVER LOYAL AND BELOVED PETS TO BE THERE WHEN THEY LEAVE THIS EARTHLY REALM. Now is not the time to "spare ourselves" the difficulty of the moment, choosing to leave them to a stranger as they transition. I thank God above I was holding Bam-Bam, sweetly assuring him he was going to be okay as he ultimately took his last breath and life passed from him. Dr. Sarena simply said, "He's gone," and excused herself to allow me to make a complete and total spectacle of myself. (Once again, sobbing while writing this review, recalling that excruciatingly painful, yet necessary, final act of love.) Assuming the doctor knew the time was right (based on me finally ending my bellowing) she came back in with a sweet little basket with a white linen draped inside for placing Bam-Bam's body. She asked if I would like to lay him inside, which I did. Now the kicker--she asked if I would like to carry my little angel to her vehicle which she had backed up to our front door. Thankfully I said yes. The open hatchback revealed a simple memorial for Bammy with flowers and welcoming decor for a beloved pet who would be taking his last car ride ever. She'd thought of EVERYTHING. I was flabbergasted. Euthanasia translated means, "A good death." Dr. Sarena masterfully provided my little old man just that. As I STILL am wiping tears from my eyes--good tears--I will be eternally grateful to her for making his trip across the Rainbow Bridge on his way to Puppy Lake such a beautifully spiritual experience. read more

Sadly this review is for our second experience with Dr. Sarena, and I know there will be more in the future. Our beloved Putzer was suffering from terminal cancer and liver disease, and made it very clear to us she was ready to rest. We knew the only person we wanted to care for her was Dr. Sarena. Even while traveling, she communicated with us to ensure everything was scheduled as soon as possible. Dr. Sarena continues to be compassionate, thoughtful, and respectful during the entire process. Please consider her over taking your loved one outside of the home. Her difficult work allowed us to say goodbye at home, in a spot that Putzer loved and was comfortable in. She sincerely cares about her patients, even if treating them only this once. We will be contacting Peace For Paws when time comes again. read more
