Testimonials to help share others’ experiences
“We had made one of the most difficult decisions in our life to end our 14 year old soul dog Hannah’s suffering. We wanted to give her the most calm and relaxed in her own bed in her own home with her fur brother to be able to say goodbye. One of our family members had strongly recommended this service. As they had used it in the past. We are so happy we took this recommendation. Dr. Donna O’Leary made this difficult process so much easier. Both of my fur babies always run to the door barking and being a lot even if they know who’s at the door. When Dr. O’Leary came to the door both of my dogs approached her so calmly and she greeted them. She sat and both of them gently licked her face. It was almost like they were expecting her. I can’t explain it any other way. After a minute Hannah laid on her bed next to Dr. O’Leary as if to say okay I’m ready. Dr. O’Leary explained the process, explained what Hannah would experience and what her brother Diesel may do. Everything was so calm and natural. The whole thing from beginning to end was beautiful. Even with taking Hannah away. How respectful they were with us and even more so with her. It’s so heartbreaking to lose a fur baby but I wouldn’t do this any other way. Hannah deserved the best in life and in death and Dr. O’Leary definitely gave her the best cross over if that makes sense.”
“Dr. Caroline Garrett was absolutely amazing. She was patient and kind and so sweet while we prepared ourselves to loose one of our family members. It was an awful decision made so much easier through her gentle presence. If I ever have to go through another loss like this, we’d absolutely call her. 100%”
“Our family is so grateful to Dr. Holly Pietschmann for her kindness, thoughtfulness, and care during our sweet pup, Ella’s transition to peace. Though saying goodbye to Ella was one of the hardest days of our lives it could not have been a better experience thanks to Dr. Pietschmann.
When Ella started to slow down our hearts broke; Facing the reality that we would one day have to part was unimaginable. Ella was the sweetest dog and such a huge part of our family. We knew early on that we wanted to say goodbye at home. We wanted Ella to be with her best friend, Maizie, our younger dog. We wanted Ella to transition over in her favorite napping spot. No stress. No fear. All comfort.
When the time came I was nervous about inviting a stranger into our home and creating more stress for our dogs and cats. Then, I found Holly’s profile. I knew Holly years ago and it felt serendipitous. It was. Holly spent so much time with our family getting to know Ella, our other pets and helping us all feel at ease. We celebrated Ella before gently and peacefully saying goodbye to our sweet girl. From the initial inquiry to receiving Ella’s remains the care, understanding, and patience we received was unmatched and exceeded any expectations.” Thank you, Holly!
“Donna O’Leary was very professional and a great help during our difficult time, She explained everything step by step the whole process. She was very comforting to our beloved dog through his transition. I would highly recommend her to anyone that has to proceed in this process. She arrived at our house and completed the process with utmost respect and concern for our beloved dog. She gave us time to grieve after. She then was able to bring our dog to the crematorium.”
“I cannot express how grateful I am to Dr. Tammy. She was prompt, professional, compassionate, never rushing and so kind! She truly made this difficult time peaceful for both me and my boy.”
“Dr. Buchanan was so amazing and kind! Our elderly dog Angus had gone downhill quickly and Dr. Buchanan was able to come out the same day. She did amazing walking us through every step of the process. We will forever be grateful she was able to give Angus a peaceful and painless end in his own home.”
“Dr. Teague was very accomodating while scheduling an appointment day. The pricing was very reasonable compared to alot of our other places I called. The experience itself was peaceful and he was very thoughtful about our questions and concerns. All said, I would highly recommend Dr. Teague for the quality and affordability he provided for such a difficult thing.”
“Dr. Knight was totally awesome. Her beautiful heart shone through during every step of the euthanisia procedure. She gently and patiently informed me when she was sedating Baby Girl prior to the final injection and allowed me to hold Baby Girl tightly after that injection was completed until my baby’s tiny heart stopped beating. The entire home euthanasia process was beyond wonderful, albeit, heartbreaking, but also reverent and profoundly spiritual, thanks to Dr. Knight.”
“Words cannot fully describe how grateful we are for the level of care Dr. Julianne provided to our family and our beloved Joey. During such an incredibly difficult and emotional time, everything can feel overwhelming and confusing, but Dr. Julianne guided us through the process with clarity, calmness, and compassion. She was deeply comforting to our entire family and treated Joey with the utmost respect and tenderness, carefully preserving his dignity until the very end. Her kindness and professionalism brought us peace during one of the hardest moments ever. We are eternally grateful for Dr. Julianne’s compassion and the beautiful care she gave to our sweet boy, Joey.”
“I am so thankful for Dr. Caroline Garrett here in Utah. When it came time to make that difficult decision to end my 18 year old cat’s suffering before it got bad, my regular vet was booked out for home visits and referred me to this service. Dr. Garrett was able to come 2 days after I called, giving me time to spend with my boy and make sure he got all the love he deserved before his departure. On the day, she showed up at the exact time we’d set, and the experience was so gentle and seamless. My boy got to leave this world comfortable and surrounded by love just as I’d hoped. She put so much care into making sure the process wasn’t rushed, that we were all ready and comfortable and she gave my family the respect we needed during this time. While I hope to not see her again anytime soon, I will definitely be reaching out when the time comes for my other senior cat.
I 100% recommend this service when it’s time to let your furry friend go. No cold clinical vet room or freezing metal table, just focusing on what matters most. Surprisingly affordable as well.”
“Dr. Leverone was very kind and compassionate when we had to say goodbye to our Abby. He walked us through every step and gave us time while going through it. Having the opportunity to do this in the comfort of her own home was comforting for all of us. Thank you so much.”
“Dr. Gail was so tender and thoughtful when she spent time with my daughter and I to say goodbye to our beloved family dog, Max. It was heart wrenching, but he needed to be relieved of his discomfort and his 16 years with us were always joyful. We are thankful for her knowing touch and her quiet presence.”
“Dr. Caroline Garret helped me and my wife with our 5 year old black lab Annie who was diagnosed with cancer. She was very kind and professional, and I would highly recommend her to anybody, this was the best decision I could have made for my little girl.”
“Our dog had cancer and had been doing well but then declined very quickly. We decided tht it was time and called Dr. Teague on a Sunday afternoon. He was able to come within a couple of hours and it was peaceful which was a comfort to us. We opted for a private cremation and the ashes were returned to us in a beautiful wooden urn with a nice card. We appreciate that we were able to provide this final care for our sweet dog in a timely and caring way.”
“Dr. Caroline was so wonderful to work with! She was totally flexible about what time we needed her to come to our house and how long we needed her to stay. She was incredibly sensitive, patient, and understanding. She was very respectful of our wishes and of our dog both before and after his passing. We could not recommend her more for anyone who has to say goodbye to a beloved pet.”
“Dr. Darden is like an angel on earth. She has a quiet supportive presence and heartfelt compassion. She has been here for my family with the loss of our precious Cavalier King Charles Spaniels … three in the past 4 years due to age and failing health. I am grateful the service can be provided at home. I know it made this difficult time a little less hard.”
Dear Dr. Leverone,
I want to thank your for your kindness in putting our beloved Molly down. It was a perfect ending to the wonderful life we gave her. We received her ashes on Friday. She was a wonderful dog who deserved the best and you made that happen!
Thanks so much!

“This is our sweet Chloe who was with us for 17 years. Unfortunately her quality of life was such that we had to send her over the rainbow yesterday, with the help of Dr Pietschmann. We will miss her a lot, we only had her for 17 years, which still is not enough, but fortunately she did have us for her whole life. I called her Glowworm!”
“My Gemma was so important to me and Cassie Schneller was the best. I could not have predicted a better outcome she was kind and compassionate and professional and made the passing of my dog so smooth and loving I am so grateful for this service!”
“I just want to say thank you to Dr. Inness for her care and compassion in helping our Fred “transition.” It was good for him to have his human family with him and he’s now under a rose bush where the birds gather and sing for him.”

“Dr. Bender made the loss of our pet the easiest and most peaceful process possible. We did not feel rushed, everything was thoroughly explained, and it was worth every penny. Our cat was treated with ample respect.”
“Dr. Monica Inniss helped us say goodbye to my beloved cat, Roxy. This was the best choice for us given that Roxy didn’t do well at the vet and she got to pass peacefully in my arms. I appreciated the vet’s kindness and also her sense of humor which I needed during that time. Roxy was delivered to us by Dr. Inniss as we choose cremation and I was even given her paw print and some of her fur which was something I regretted not doing when she was taken away for cremation. Although I am devastated by this loss, I really appreciated how smoothly and peacefully this was for Roxy.”
“Dr. Decter was so helpful during the most difficult time for our family. She was very empathetic and so kind. She was able to perform the procedure very professionally and walked us through every step to make sure everything went smoothly. I know this line of work has to be one the most difficult professions and she took care of our family and minimized the pain as much as she could during this emotional and stressful event.”
