“We’ve had to say goodbye to two of our eldery fur babies over the last few months and we are beyond grateful for Dr. Darden. She is very emotionally intellligent, making a painful situation a little calmer and easier. She treated our pets with the utmost respect. On both occasions she responded to our inquiries within 30 mins, answered all of our questions, and arrived on time. She will clearly and compassionately guide you through the process. Dr. Darden is deeply appreciated by our family.”
“Dr. Scott was amazing, and more then I could have wished for the passing of my beloved Sascha. Thank you Dr Scott you are doing an amazing service for our beloved pets”
“With broken hearts we said farewell to our beloved 13 year old girl. Macy came into our lives when my boys were young and she was such an important part of our family. Thank you Dr. Kinkade for helping her pass peacefully in our arms.”
“Today I lost my best friend Layla. We just wanted to thank you for being so kind and gentle, not only with her but with us.”
Thank you
“I just wanted to say that Dr. Tracey Decter was amazing. She kindly helped my family including my younger children whom wanted to be a part of the process. Thank you for sending her to us. It was the best outcome for our situation.”
“There are no amount of words that can truly express the absolute thanks and gratitude I have for Dr. Darden. Dixie was my soulmate and the other half of me for the past 14 years. This year was a struggle for her and I did everything I could to keep her longer. It finally got to a point that I realized that her quality of life wasn’t fair to her, or me. Watching her decline was absolutely devastating. I’m forever thankful to the peaceful passing I was able to give her thanks to Dr. Darden. I honestly believe Dixie knew that day and was beyond ready. It was the most peaceful, and quick experience. I will continue to grieve her for the rest of my life, but know she will forever be with me.”
Dr. Danton,

Bless you,

“Dear Dr. Laurelle,
We can’t thank you enough for your kindness and compassion during Shiloh’s final moments. We will plant the marigold seeds in his honor and speaking of future memories, Dick couldn’t bear living in a house without a dog, so we now have a front-end tripod 2 yr. old little boy we named, “Tres” to keep us laughing and very busy!”
Thank you again for your loving care,
Patty and Richard Danforth
“Dr. MaryAnn Bender was so kind and compassionate when we had to put our little Jinx down after 14 years of love, and devotion. She sat on the floor with us, and explained everything, and it was very peaceful and painless for our little girl. One of the hardest decisions to make, was made easier with MaryAnn. We received a beautiful card in the mail afterward. We would definitely recommend her for anyone having to make that painful decision.”
Dr. Padgelek fit us in at the last minute at the end of the day, so we didn’t have to make our girl, Cayenne suffer any longer. She was professional, caring, explained everything while giving us the time to absorb and give us time to slowly transition our girl over the rainbow bridge. Thanks for being so helpful and understanding during this difficult time.
“Dr. Teague was so compassionate and patient with us. He explained everything and there was no rush. We were able to help our Dane pass comfortably. Thank you for taking care of my best girl Charlie.”
“Sweet Scrappy of Gloucester, VA was truly a valued family member. He enjoyed being fussed over by everyone, and he was included in all family activities. He was almost 17 years old when he received a diagnosis of a tumor on his spleen recently. His family was concerned about his quality of life. Today, surrounded by his large family and showered in tears, he peacefully gained his angel wings. Fly high, sweet boy!
Pet Loss at Home with Dr. Tami made a terrible day less stressful and more peaceful for our faithful furry family member “Fluffy”. Fluffy was over 17 years old and being able to provide her with a peaceful transition without the stress of traveling while she was so ill made all the difference for our family. Dr. Tami was able to accommodate coming out the same day and at a time that allowed all of us to be present to provide love and comfort for our Fluffy. Dr. Tami was very kind and compassionate and explained everything she was doing along the way. She took a paw print mold and shaved some fur for us to remember our sweet kitty. Our kids were 7 and 9 years old when this kitty came into our family. As they sat on the couch (Fluffy’s favorite place), our daughter at 24 years old was able to hold her childhood cat and provide love and comfort as she entered eternal rest. Being able to provide this service for our family pet made all the difference for us. We are very grateful for Dr. Tami and Pet Loss at Home for easing our pain and providing a peaceful transition for our family member.
May you continue to provide comfort to others! Thank you

We had to make the tough choice to help our “goodest boy”, Winston, transition to his heavenly home.
Dr. Kinkade allowed us the time to share Winnie’s story. How he came to our home, the loss of his fur best friend a couple years ago, and his quick decline. We also have twin 8 year old boys and another dog. She explained the process to our boys and made a suggestion to have his golden best friend present so she could say goodbye and know that he was gone.
The process was so peaceful and she walked us through everything. She even let us take the time we needed after he passed to say goodbye. I’d recommend Dr. Kinkade to all my friends and family. At home euthanasia is definitely the way to go.
“My name is Paul Westin and I just had to make the toughest decision in my life. Our beloved dog Maggie at 14 years of age developed mast cell cancer and was suffering. The decision to peacefully take her from her pain was our only option but one that would prove to be emotionally heart breaking.
After speaking to four different veterinarians that offered at home euthanasia I choose (Dr. Carrie Moore). Dr. Moore was unbelievable at taking us through this process, kind, thoughtful, gentle and very professional. She gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye to our Maggie and she made sure that she suffered no pain during this process. Dr. Moore helped us in our darkest hour with compassion I have not seen in a long time.”
I would like to thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for being there for us!
Sincerely, Paul & Cindy Westin
“Dr. Mendelsohn was an angel during this very emotional time. Of course, our dog’s health declined significantly in a matter of two days that ended up falling on a weekend. Our son had a baseball tournament (which he made to the championship) and it caused scheduling distress. Dr. Mendelsohn was very understanding in changing the time last minute and so helpful.
When she arrived, she gave so much love and positive energy to our Daisy. It was such a calm and relaxing experience in our own backyard. She eased our pain by asking about Daisy as a puppy and she told us everything to expect, so we wouldn’t be needlessly traumatized.I would highly recommend to anyone who wants an intimate and calming experience, without the stress of a busy vet’s office. It was well worth it and I know Daisy appreciated one less visit to the vet. Thank you Dr. Mendelsohn.”RhondaNorman, OK
Our 10 year old Rottweiler, Shiva, had masses inside her abdomen, lungs and liver. She stopped eating and was declining. I called the service and received a callback from Dr. Kincaid. We spoke on the phone for a good amount of time and we made an appointment.
Dr. Kincaid arrived at the appointed time and my family spoke with her. She evaluated our girl and informed us of her recommendation. We agreed as a family that we would put our girl out of pain.
We decided that we would do it in the front yard where it was shady and she would be on the grass under the tree. Dr. Kincaid explained what she was going to do and we stayed with our girl to the very end. Dr. Kincaid told us to take our time saying goodbye.
This was one of the hardest days of my life but Dr. Kincaid made it less stressful for us and especially for my girl.
If our pets have a guardian angel it is Dr. Kincaid and Pet Loss at Home.
Thank you.
Thank you to Dr. Christine Scott for allowing Grace to be as comfortable as she could possibly be outside at our home. We are forever grateful.
Dr.Rosenberg was so compassionate and truly professional. Having him come in and explain everything as he guided us through one of the hardest decisions we have had to make with our pug. His level of compassion is truly amazing and I’m thankful that we were able to have him come to our home.
Dr. Christina Kinkade was truly wonderful. She was able to come at somewhat short notice and was very communicative and provided helpful tips on getting our cat ready. When she got here, she was efficient and methodical while also being sensitive and warm. She made the whole process so easy. We’re very grateful.
“We had a positive experience, as much as we could in the moment, with Pet Loss at Home. Dr. Tami was great with communication via text to set everything up. She provided us with a footprint and private cremation services as well. The whole process was low stress and she was comforting the whole time. I highly recommend them for this decision that is so difficult to make. She really made saying goodbye to our Toby the best it could be.”
“Dr. Dionne Harrell was so compassionate and patient with our family when we had to say goodbye to our pup, Nikko. It is so incredibly difficult to see our pets suffer, but being able to hold them in their final moments at home is an amazing gift. I would recommend choosing this option for our babies if you can.”
“I am so grateful for this service. The website for this service is thorough and transparent on pricing, and it is worth every penny if you can manage. It also has sections on quality of life and when it may be time to make the call. This helped immensely. When I did have to make the call, I felt empathy from the start from the automated message, it states that they know that you didn’t want to make that phone call, asks for your zip code, then it connects you to the veterinarian. I was connected with Dr. Mary Ann Bender. She came the next day and was so professional, sweet, respectful, empathetic and informative. She took her time, and made sure that we understood the process, were prepared for each step, and asked if we had questions. She made sure my cat, Tallulah, was comfortable and we did the whole process on my front porch, my cat’s favorite spot. After, she let us spend some time with her and handled her so gently at the end. Animals are so lucky to have people like her to help them be laid to rest. I don’t know how they do what they do, but my family is so grateful. Thank you so much, Dr. Bender.”
Dr. Laurelle Danton,
Thank you for taking your time with the Ghahate family as we made the decision to allow Maddie to cross the rainbow bridge. You made the evening a beautiful one. Maddie Girl was so special to all and we would not have had it any other way. Your services are much appreciated.
Love, Eric, Maria, Tomas, Victoria, Lee Ann, & Chris…on behalf of Maddie Girl
