    I can't express enough how much comfort Dr. Altman and Robin Altman provided me during the most difficult times. I had three fur babies who were my whole life. Three years ago, when I had to say goodbye to my first baby, I entrusted Dr. Altman and Always with Us (Robin) for aftercare, and I was not disappointed. Dr. Altman was incredibly compassionate, providing me with the explanations and time I needed. Robin's work was amazing and meticulous, and her demeanor is so gentle; you can tell she truly cares. Three years later, I lost my other two babies, a month apart, and I was completely distraught. Once again, Dr. Altman was amazing, especially with my third baby. She had blankets and toys ready as I laid her in the car. Thanks to Robin, who once more provided me with excellent service and created beads for me, I can now have them constantly with me around my neck.

    I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Altman and this service. I had to say goodbye to my best boy, Jack, on 4/5/2025. Dr. Altman was so compassionate and kind on the worst day of our lives and we will never forget it. I received my pups ashes today along with his fur and a paw print. They did a beautiful job and I will recommend them to anyone else who has to go through this. Thank you Dr. Altman and Always With Us! We are so grateful to you for taking care of our boy.

    I just picked up my Auggie Doggie. Having to say good bye to a loved pet, part of the family, is more than simply difficult. It's heart-wrenching. The loving professionals of Always With Us were more than understanding. They were kind and loving. I highly recommend them when the sad times comes to say goodbye. If you're reading this, and you are losing your beloved pet, I'm so sorry for that situation.

    Pets are like family members and losing one is never easy. They deserve the best of care which is why we opted for in home euthanasia and aquamation with Transitions Veterinary Services and Always With Us. Hershey was surrounded by loved ones and passed away peacefully in our arms at home on Dec. 3, 2023. This morning we received Hershey's ashes. Thank you Justin and Robin at Transitions Veterinary Services and Always With Us for taking care of our beloved Hershey and being so compassionate during a difficult time.

    Our sweet Annie

    Justin and Robin gave us and our sweet Annie in this most difficult time compassion and love to help us thru this. We will always miss our sweet Annie but we know she will always be with us.

    I couldn't have been more pleased with the service Robyn provided in my time of grief. She responded personally to my emails and I could tell she truly cares. She read our letters to my sweet boy Cubbie, telling him how much we loved and miss him, and placed the letters with him for his journey across the v Rainbow Bridge. In my time of despair and heartbreak it was comforting knowing that he was in good hands.

    I can't say enough great things about my experience with Justin , and afterwards with Robyn with the cremation. He was able to come the very day I contacted them as Meko took a turn for the worse rather quickly. Everything was so perfect, thoughtful, considerate and full of heart. I couldn't have asked for a better send off for my little one. I HIGHLY recommend them for a beautiful experience that you and your best friend will have. Thank you so much !!

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.

My mom, who has had the hardest time with this whole ordeal, is so, so grateful for the great care with which the entire situation was handled. Thank you so much Elizabeth and Dawn for being so wonderful! We are truly eternally grateful!!!

Its also clear to us that he loves his work and has great affection and empathy for the animals he works with. We could tell we had someone caring for Ziggy who could provide that care in a loving and thoughtful manner. Josh sent us daily updates on our trip and even taught our dad Eddy (house-sitting non-cat-person) some tricks on how to improve Ziggy's oral fluid intake. Without Josh's help the trip would have been impossible. And with the compassionate manner in which he provided care we were able to be relaxed on our trip without worrying about our little guy. We are so thankful to Josh for his help with Ziggy!

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.

    Saying goodbye to a beloved fur baby is one of the hardest things we ever have to do. One thing we…read morelearned is that using a mobile vet pet hospice can truly be the most compassionate way to help them cross the rainbow bridge. Being at home (or wherever you are) keeps them comfortable, calm, and surrounded by the people who love them most. It removes so much of the stress and anxiety that can come with a trip to the vet's office, especially in their final moments. When we were traveling in our RV, we used St. Francis In-Home Pet Hospice (Coachella, CA) , and it was such a peaceful and loving experience. They treated our sweet Harley Girl with so much dignity and compassion, and gave us the time and space to say goodbye the right way. Dr. Gilabert & her assistant allocated 2 hours and they were so amazing. Whenever that difficult time comes again, we will absolutely pray to find another mobile vet to guide us through the same gentle process. If you ever have to face this heartbreaking moment with your pet, we truly recommend looking into a mobile pet hospice. It made all the difference for our family and for our fur baby.

She walked Louie down the aisle, handled him and helped him greet guests during the ceremony and cocktail hour, and kept everything completely stress-free for us.
