There is nothing like losing your best friend, but Dr. Cushing made the experience as good as it…read morecould be. She was so helpful along the way, when it became clear that our beloved girl was slowing down. When the time finally came, Dr. Cushing was readily available to answer all of our questions, talk with us about what we should expect, and was a great communicator during travel times. On the day of the euthenasia, she was kind, patient, and gentle. She was so caring and made sure that our last moments with our soul dog were beautiful. I can't even thank her enough, and I can't encourage you enough to work with Dr. Cushing when it's your pet's time. We have no regrets--it's worth every single cent to help them transition to death in the comfort of their home and your arms.

Betsy is technically skillful but also extraordinarily compassionate, understanding, soft spoken and gentle toward both our beloved dogs and the family members present for our dogs' final moments, one on a familiar couch and one on the grass in the yard he so enjoyed. She clearly understands and feels the trauma we were feeling and made our pet' s passing as easy as possible. She assisted at every step, and stayed to help until all was done. We are very grateful to her for making these difficult steps less painful. We were so very lucky to find her. She is the best.

I've never written a review like this, but I feel it's necessary. I was absolutely devastated…read morehaving to say goodbye to my beloved pet, and instead of compassion, I was met with coldness and dismissal. My dog was 15 miles away and when I asked if there was any way she could help us say goodbye, the vet snapped and said, "That's way out of my way." No empathy. No care. Just a complete lack of humanity in one of the most painful moments of my life. I wasn't asking for a favor--I was trying to give my pet of many years a peaceful, loving goodbye. The response I got made an already heartbreaking situation even worse. She was recommended by a local vet too!!! Horrible.

Having been a rescue, Trooper was always happiest at home. We didn't want his last moments to be full of stress in a clinical environment. Dr. Holt was very responsive and was able to quickly provide us with a few scheduling options. When the dreaded day came, she was very compassionate both with us and with our dog. She explained the process, and did not rush us once he had passed. Dr. Holt made everything as easy as possible for us - including one fee that included her services as well as cremation services through a third party. We recommend Dr. Holt to help you say good-bye to your fur baby in a way that will be as comfortable as possible for them and for you.

We…read morehad the privilege of working with Dr. Mary from Honored Hearts while our beloved cat, Mila, was battling cancer, respiratory distress, and diabetes. Mila was on morphine for pain and steroids to help her breathe, and throughout it all, Dr. Mary was there for us every step of the way. She checked in daily, came by frequently with medications, and always made time to see Mila in person. When it was time to say goodbye, I cannot stress enough how incredible Dr. Mary was -- not only with Mila but with our entire family. Her compassion, kindness, and gentle nature made an unbearable moment just a little more bearable. If you are caring for a sick pet, I cannot recommend Dr. Mary and Honored Hearts enough. She is a truly special person, and we are forever grateful for the care she provided to Mila and to us.

This week we had to make the hardest decision regarding our 16 year old Shepherd mix. He was clearly failing health wise, having breathing problems and could not walk or stand for more than a few minutes. We knew he had no quality of life and was suffering. We called Dr. Kennedy the day before and spoke about our boy and the decision we knew was inevitable and made the appointment. When she came to our home the next day she was kind, gentle and empathetic. She prepared us for the steps she would perform. My son and I stayed with him, loving in him and telling him how much we love him. Within 10 minutes it was over. He went to heaven to run and play with his best friend Diamond who passed in her sleep six months earlier. This was the worst decision we had to make but Dr. Kennedy walked through it with us and we are forever grateful to have been able to allow our boy to go to rest at home.

Always waiting for me by the front door, always purring in my arms, and always giving me her love. Her time came relatively quickly (within about two weeks) and I wasn't going to force her to endure being put into a carrier and taken to the Vet's Office, afraid, in her final hour. I just couldn't do that to her. She trusted me. I was given a referral for Dr. Kennedy and I'm so glad I reached out. Dr. Kennedy was kind, suggested ways to mediate Pebbles pain, offered cremation, gave me options for an urn, and was both empathetic and, frankly, very sweet. She helped Pebbles to transition as peacefully as possible, giving me time with her and I was holding her as she passed, laying in my bed (instead of a sterile, stainless steel exam table, with dogs barking in the background). When Pebbles finished transitioning, Dr. Kennedy wrapped Pebbles in a blanket, with respect and love, and took her to be cremated for me. Her kindness and sympathy were wonderful and very helpful for my experience. The cost for in-home euthanasia is obviously higher that taking your pet to the Vet, but worth every penny. Considering the love they gave you throughout their lives, how can you consider exposing your loved companion to fear in their last hours ? I would completely recommend Dr. Kennedy. She was wonderful.

Anyway, I called on a Sunday afternoon & left message with answering service, & told Kim would return my call shortly. Within 20 minutes, Kim was on the phone with me making an appointment to meet with us to receive Aaron's remains.. I let Kim know the service we chose. I believe Jenn met my husband the next morning to take custody of Aaron. They let us know his ashes would be spread on a farm with a lake not far away. It hurts to let him go, but this time comes in all lives. Definitely recommend Faithful Friends to everyone who wants to respectfully cremate their close friend. His paws have marked my heart forever.
