Great company. Dr. Chas was amazing and created a special day for me and my pets. He really took his time and has a wonderful and calm demeanor. I know my Lolly felt at peace with her transition. I will never take a pet to a vet clinic for euthanasia services ever again. On the day of my appointment, I was nervous and scared, not sure if it was the right time. When they told me "Chas" would be my vet, I felt relieved. Because the last pet I euthanized was nicknamed "Chas," so I know the universe was telling me it was the right time and that my other pets were with me to greet her. Thank you thank you thank you, Dr. Chas and support staff! You made my pet's passing very comfortable and special. Dr. Chas is very wonderful. read more

Truly the most dignified and caring way to say goodbye to your pet. This service is special and tender during a very difficult time. From the first call to the last interaction these people are to be commended for their genuine care and kindness. It was an extremely hard day but so thankful that our sweet boy was in the best hands at home during his last moments. read more

Caring pathways was fantastic as we had to say goodbye to our dog. Dr Lei was amazing! Communication was clear and she was on time. Dr Lei took the time to be sympathetic and understanding and also explain exactly what the precess was going to be like. I never felt hurried and we proceeded when I was ready. Putting a pet down is never easy but it was well worth the price to do it at the comfort of home. read more

As challenging as an experience as this was, I am so thankful for Caring Pathways and the service they provided. Their staff, across the board, greeted us with only compassion and kindness. Kerry M. was our vet and she walked us through every step, educated us, was patient, and was so kind to Iverson and us. I had to cancel the first appointment because I was not ready to say goodbye. They offer a cancellation window up to 4 hours before your appointment and allow you to carry over your deposit to when you reschedule, with no extra fee. So thankful for this understanding. The cost may feel steep, but the in-home service is so so worth it. Iverson had his last meal while the pain meds were administered. It was a distraction where he didn't even notice. He felt safe and comfortable in his home, surrounded by family and on his favorite couch. He was then given a sedation medicine where he drifted into a nap on my chest. When the final medicine was given, he felt no pain as he crossed the rainbow bridge. I have heard horror stories from other in home service companies. I had 3 friends use Caring Pathways and that is why we went with them. I am so grateful and thankful that we chose to work with Caring Pathways. It helps with acceptance and closure and provides a peaceful passing. I will forever recommend them to other family and friends who need to say goodbye to a family pet member. read more

The care this company provides during a very difficult time is amazing. Their Vet is extremely compassionate. I highly recommend using this company when the difficult decisions need to be made. read more

Caring pathways made a very tough decision and situation a little bit easier. They were respectful, let us choose the spot, offered mementos as a part of the experience, and gave us as much time as we needed throughout. There was so much empathy throughout the experience, that it took away the awkward or embarrassing concerns. They also offered counseling services. Afterwards we received a beautiful carved wooden box to hold the ashes- we were not expecting anything this nice. To me, this was worth the higher price you pay- rather than going to the vet to do this. read more

Caring Pathways was truly a blessing during one of the most difficult times in my life. Leslie, Desiree, and Destiney were absolute angels--kind, accommodating, and deeply understanding. It's only a YEAR later that I'm getting around to writing this review, and the experience with this company still makes me tear up, with gratitude! As a first-time client, I had some special requests, like keeping my dog's body for a few days while I finalized ideas for memorabilia. They honored my wishes with such grace and compassion. When I needed an urn, they went above and beyond, showing me their inventory so I could select the perfect one, as each wood option was uniquely cut and meaningful. Their attention to detail and genuine care for my situation made such a difference. Despite my attempts to give them a cash tip as a thank-you, they kindly refused and asked that I leave a review instead. So here it is (a YEAR later): Caring Pathways offers incredible service with a truly compassionate touch. I can't recommend them enough. The vet, Kaity, and her assistant that came to help us were just as much of a blessing as the ladies at the mortuary. You're all just the most extraordinary team of humans!! Thank you, again!!!! With love, from Teresa & Bourbon! read more

Ted Mithun, thank you for your compassion, patience, and kindness. Our reactive and anxious dog Chief couldn't have been in better and more gentle hands. You are a real life angel. Thank you for providing us a comforting experience in saying goodbye. read more

We unfortunately had to put our dog Kona down 2 months ago. My wife had used Caring Pathways before in the past for her mom's dog. Although putting a pet down is such a hard thing to do, Caring Pathways really helped us to say goodbye to Kona with love and kindness. Our vet Hannah R. was incredible - she showed so much patience and compassion for our dog Kona, as well as to me and my wife knowing how hard we were struggling in general with having to say goodbye. Kona had always been an anxious dog, and having Caring Pathways truly allowed Kona to pass on surrounded by his loved ones, in his own bed, and without fear of the unknown. We are forever grateful read more

It inevitably happens to all our fur babies. So when it was time for Charlie our 15 year old golden doodle to say goodbye our vet recommended Caring Pathways. The Vet visits your home so your pup can be comfortable and surrounded by loved ones. Dr Zachar was one of the kindest and gentle people you could entrust with this moment. Although I'm still really sad I know we did the right thing the right way. Thank you Dr Zachar and the staff at Caring Pathways read more

I truly cannot express how grateful I am to Caring Pathways and everyone I came into contact with at this fantastic organization. My sweet bean, Scout, was a very anxious and reactive pitty-mix. In the last year, we had noticed a cognitive decline as she could no longer meet friends, had a hard time remembering new people and was definitely losing her hearing. All of this made it difficult to bring her to a vet and even bring strangers into the home. The Caring Pathways team were incredibly responsive, empathetic, and caring throughout. They listened to me when I said that Scout would need heavy sedation leading up to the appointment and that she would need a higher dosage. The sedation medication worked beautifully so that by the time they arrived, Scout was flying high and the calmest she's ever been. The two doctors talked us through everything that was going to happen, allowed us to dictate when things were to happen and fully informed us of what to expect. Scout passed so peacefully, and while it was so hard to let her go, being able to give her the coziest send off has made the grieving process that much easier. Two days later we received a handwritten card from both doctors that was totally unaccepted but much appreciated. I cannot recommend them enough and so grateful that they exist and take such care in end of life for our fur family. read more

They are the best. The vet who came to my house provided comfy and warm, smooth process. She never rushed us and took the time to explain all detail each steps. We can't ask for a better and professional support . THANK YIU SO MUCH read more

Quick response to help with having to put down my 19 year old cat; extremely difficult experience with him having been our best friend but the vet who came was gentle and patient, calm and understanding and didn't try to say too much but quietly helped us through one of the most difficult experiences of our adult lives. read more

On Tuesday we made the most difficult decision when being a dog owner. We decided it was time for our 14 year old terrier mix to cross the rainbow bridge. We were able to get an appt with Caring Pathways for the following morning. Dr. Mindy Brewster and Dr. Chelsea came to our house to help us say goodbye. This type of experience is never EVER fun, however, I am confident this was the BEST possible experience any family could have in this type of situation. They were kind, informative, patient and most of all loving. They explained the entire process to us, let us ask any questions we could possibly think of, and let us say goodbye in the way we wanted to. We never felt rushed, we felt understood and our feelings felt validated. They wanted to truly get to know not only us, but our dog. Talking about all the reasons why we love him so much. What I've learned working with these amazing women was that this decision is not always "clear". Maybe it is, but as their parents, you don't always want to see what may be right in front of you. When I talked through it with them, my biggest fear was maybe I wasn't making the right decision. Maybe I should have waited just a little longer? So many thoughts go through your head. But I learned it was evident to everyone else around me it was my baby's time, and I was making the right decision. And they took the time to talk me through it and help me be more comfortable in my decision. They did this without pushing me, and I couldn't be more thankful. The experience was a beautiful one. Although, painful and emotional for us parents, our baby peacefully went to sleep. Dr. Mindy made VERY sure he was ready when it was time, showing me that he was sleeping prior to the final steps. That reassured me and made me feel much more at ease. I held him as he passed, talking to him, and loving on him. Once the process was complete and confirmed he had passed, they gave us time to spend with our dog alone. Once we were ready, they came back inside our house, and finished up the process. We got a beautiful paw print of his with his name to keep forever. Although I don't wish this on anyone, it's the inevitable, and I can't recommend Caring Pathways enough. They were professional, compassionate, loving, I am SO thankful this is the route we took. If you love your pet like they are family, and you want the best possible goodbye you can give them, THIS is how you do it. Thank you both again for everything. Means the absolute world to us. read more

From the moment I called, Caring Pathways took good care of our family. As one of the most difficult days, they were so thoughtful and respectful, making sure we were as "ok" as possible. The vet was compassionate and gentle - and I know she took the best care of Lady, our sweet pup, as anyone possibly could have. These are not businesses you look forward to hiring or reviewing, but I leave this review in the hope that it helps someone else when they need to call upon these services. read more

We cannot thank Dr. Paola Barajas enough for coming to our house and helping with the very difficult job of euthanizing our beloved dog of 15 years. Not only was she kind, compassionate and very caring of our immediate needs but she did not rush any part of the visit. We did not want to stress Copper any more than was needed so doing this at home was necessary. I would also give 10 stars If I could. Caring Pathways is amazing. I hope we don't have to use them again anytime soon. But when it's needed, we will call them. We loved and miss Copper dearly he was family and cherished and treated as such. Thank you again for the care. read more

This feels too soon for me to even be responding, but I must because last week was the hardest decision my husband and I had to make EVER! Gizmo was the best dog, best mind and attitude, his body was just failing and he couldn't hide the pain any longer. We had him on strong pain medication for a few years and it just wasn't working even though he was still so strong in his mind and so happy. Seriously the hardest decision ever but the quality of life was not fair for him we had to make the call seeing him in so much pain for the past 3 weeks. Caring pathways was absolutely amazing!! Gina Choi was so sweet she was so kind she explained everything and let us take all the time we needed. For the worst situation in the world it was the Beautifullest experience, and the best way to send Gizmo to be with a good Lord! Highly recommend them from the first call to the ( see you in heaven Gizmo) they cared and helped so very much! read more

From the 1st person who answered the phone, to Dr. Mindy Brewster who came to our house, all we can say is THANK YOU & G-D BLESS! Dr. Brewster treated our fur-baby, Sasha, like she was her own dog. The way she handled and touched Sasha from beginning to end was awesome.At the end there was a blanket for her head to lay on and another blanket to cover her. Thank you! Made the whole process at such a peaceful level vs the strange/scary vet office. read more

We cannot praise or thank Caring Pathways enough for their utmost compassion and warmth from the moment I called to make an incredibly difficult appointment, to picking our sweet girl's ashes up at their office in Centennial. Dr. Chas came to our home last weekend to help us let our 15.5 year old beloved family member go. He was so kind and understanding. Great communication with my husband and our young kids. He was gentle, compassionate and extremely professional. This is an incredible organization built on pure love and compassion of our beloved pets. Everyone is gentle and kind. I'm so happy Maci's body was in their care until we could bring her home. If you're reading this, I'm sure you're facing a difficult decision. They are incredible people and doctors, you will be grateful you chose them. read more

From the first call we had they were nothing but compassionate & helpful. They explained all of our options in great detail and made sure we knew what was happening every step. They let us know when they were about 15 minutes away allowing us to be prepared. She was so kind during our appointment. Providing details for each step and allowing us the time needed to say good bye. We never once felt rushed or that we weren't all in excellent care. It was so nice that we were able to be home and Pearl could pass so peacefully in her favorite appt with her favorite blanket. read more

Second time using their service. Our cat was suffering from cancer and was laboring to breathe. Made an appointment. There's an additional for weekend service. Also selected the urn upgrade and paw print. There's a window of time when they arrive and we did get notification when they were on their way. Kellie was polite and flexible in the process. Normally she does the paperwork and explains the process but because our cat was clearly in distress she changed the order so that our cat wouldn't suffer more than she was. Kellie explained what she was doing and allowed us time to grieve in private. We completed the paperwork and confirmed the information they already had. A receipt was emailed to us. We would be informed by the vet when her remains were ready. We selected to have them sent to the vet. When we were ready, Kellie came back in and gently placed the body into the basket she had lined with a soft blanket. She covered the body and arranged the blanket so we could see our cat's face. Then we carried the basket to her car. It was very sad but comforting. It's an expensive service but one that can provide a lot of comfort to the family. read more

This company has the kindest, most compassionate and supportive staff. I have used their services three times over the years and each time our family is so grateful for their care and help. I can't say enough good things about them. From the initial call to set up an appointment to the doctor, they are so sensitive to your needs and it is a blessing to have their in-home services. If you need financial help to cover costs, ask and they even have options for those in need. You can even make a don't to the help fund to show your gratitude. They are truly wonderful and compassionate during such a hard time. read more

Dr. Angel Han is a saint. We had to make the painful decision to put Kedzie to rest and had never gone through this process before as dog owners. Dr. Han was so warm and compassionate with us. She did not rush us and ended up at our home for nearly two hours. At the end she asked if we were huggers and gave us the biggest hug as we said goodbye. If you ever have to make this painful goodbye, Caring Pathways is the right choice. read more

I cannot say enough about the amazing veterinarians (specifically Drs Megan & Monica), CVTs, on-call nurses and phone staff! Every single person we've encountered has been so compassionate, supportive, responsive to our needs, knowledgeable and helpful as we care for our sweet Bernese Mountain dog, Maverick, in the last phase of his life...and he's sadly, only 2.5 years old. We are currently in the hospice program (they also offer Quality of Life assessments and in-home euthanasia) and their help transitioning our fur-baby home from the ICU will always stand out because it was setting up our in-home care visit that facilitated his discharge from the hospital. We will be forever grateful to have found their services through a friend's referral. I highly recommend Caring Pathways for the comfort they provide, not only for a beloved pet but also for the family going through grief and loss. read more

Dr Chaz is an angel straight from heaven. He was so wonderful and kind to our beloved Lucy and our family. Highly recommend Caring Pathways. They make a heartbreaking transition bearable. read more

Dr Britni Bentley came to our house to gently euthanize our 12+ year old Labrador. Dr Bentley was everything one could ask for. She was happy to have us share a few special stories about our lab while taking time to make our dog felt comfortable with her. We all shared treats with our lab which helped initially. I think things that triggers dogs at vets are the tense energies and smells of medical chemicals. Our dog Bella did not show stress from those triggers. Dr Bentley was very calm and reassuring in voice and movement. Eventually, Bella was put into a deep sleep. We could see the tension soften out of her face now that she was out of pain. Dr Bentley made sure we were ready for the next step and so on until Bella was removed to be cremated. read more

I was very impressed with the professionalism of Caring Pathways from the first call, to receiving Indy's ashes. I can't thank Dr. Mindy Brewster enough for her compassion and patience with us in Indy's final moments. It was incredibly difficult and Dr. Brewster was there every step of the way doing everything to make Indy comfortable as we said goodbye. I cannot recommend them enough. I felt everything was handled with grace and care in this difficult time. read more

It's never easy to put a beloved friend down. This veterinary services staff, particularly Dr. Gina, is very compassionate, patient and professional. Definitely would recommend them. read more

The vet who helped us was so gentle and caring. It made losing our dog less painful to be able to do it at home, on his bed, with us petting him the whole time. The vet took her time to explain things and was very understanding of our feelings. While this was a difficult thing to go through, Caring Pathways made it much less painful. I highly recommend them and appreciate how kind and gentle they were. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would indeed! The customer service staff are extremely supportive in your time of need - when your pet is ready to transition. Losing a pet is extremely emotional, painful, and challenging. The staff here really understand how to help you through this difficult time. Dr Kerry is amazing!!! She really helped us feel supported and was kind and gentle to our doggie and very patient through the entire process. As I get glossy eyed thinking about that emotional time, I am forever grateful to Caring Pathways for their excellent service and support! Thank You! read more

My baby was in my arms in wrapped in her blanket. The female Dr was so loving and supportive. She confirmed it was her time and that she was ready. Sometimes we need to hear that. I'd spent 16 years with this little nugget as my ride or die, she was never going to let go on her own and she was in obvious suffering. It was a beautiful, loving, peaceful passing. Thank you for making the saddest experience have light and love in it. read more

My sweet little Rat Terrier, Ruby, sadly, developed cancer behind her eye. Within 10 days she developed large tumors on the side of her face and the inside of her rear leg. I knew she was suffering, and I found Caring Pathways on the internet. They are wonderful. A lovely young woman vet came to my home, and we took Ruby took the deck, among tall trees. My other dog came along a rested on a rug nearby. There was no rush. I held Ruby in my arms on my lap the entire time. We talked for a bit and then the vet administered a shot in her rear quarters that Ruby did not even notice. This shot took 10 minutes and put Ruby into a sleep state. When I was ready, the vet put in an IV and administered the final shot. Ruby passed with a sigh. It was very peaceful for Ruby, and made the process easier for me. Don't we all hope to die peacefully, at home, in the arms of someone who loves us. read more

Every experience I have had with Caring Pathways has been wonderful--or as wonderful as such a thing can be. I have (unfortunately) used their services three times; once for my visiting family's dog, and twice for my two elderly cats. When calling to make the appointment, the receptionist was very compassionate and patient with me in spite of the frequent pauses I needed to pull myself together. And they were always able to come out quickly--within a couple of hours all three times. When the vets came to the appointment they were incredibly kind and compassionate. They answered all of our questions, they were willing to talk us through making the decision if needed (though we didn't for our specific cases), walked us through what was going to happen, and gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye. In one case there were to dogs who had been close their whole lives. She gave us advice both on how to handle their presence during the procedure (better for him to be in the room if possible, so he knows why his friend is gone), as well as information on pet grieving, what to expect, and how to best support the surviving pet. They gave us as much time as we needed at every step; before both the procedure and before they took them away. They were extremely accommodating of what would make us and our pet the most comfortable, such as where the procedure would take place, what would make the pet the most comfortable, if we wanted to hold them, and who would be present. They offered printed information on dealing with grief, grief support groups and counseling, and pet grief. They offer cremation services as well as keepsakes like a paw print impression. When it was time to take our loved ones away, they handled them with caring and respect above and beyond what I could have imagined. They swaddled the pet in a blanket and either carried him to the vehicle, or let us carry him if we needed to or would feel more comfortable. Then they placed the pet, very gently, into an open container in their vehicle. It felt more like our pet was being taken away to be cared for. It made saying goodbye, if not easier, then at least less harrowing. They are somewhat expensive (though I don't know how it compares to the same services in a vet's office.) It was $300-$400 for the procedure, $150-$200 for the cremation, and extra for the keepsakes ($25-50 each if memory serves). Even so, there is no question in my mind. I will never consider having a pet euthanized at a vet's office again. If it comes up again I would (and have) choose Caring Pathways. And I would (and have) wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in the same situation. read more

Dr. Paola was amazing! She was so very sweet and helped us every step of the way. Explained step by step what was going to happen & as it happened. This was the most difficult decision we have ever had to make. She made us all feel comfortable. She was very patient & spent over an hour with us, we never felt rushed. As our anxieties kicked in her calm demeanor brought us back down. She's a very special person & seems to have an incredibly caring & loving heart! I am very grateful to have had her in our home & there to spend the final moments with our pet. As hard as this was I would not have done it any other way or with any other Veterinarian. Very Peaceful & lots of love read more

On Sunday February 6, 2022 at 1:15pm we said goodbye to our beloved 9 year old Bernese Mountain Dog, Hobie. Dr. Mindy came to our home and was the most compassionate person that has the responsibility of easing pain for pets with the utmost care. Hobie was our first baby before we had our first human child. He was our rock! He loved us so damn much and when we found out he had lymphoma, it crushed us. When you make the decision to put down your family pet, it is the hardest decision you ever have to make. The worst part is when dogs are going thru it with lymphoma, there is no pain but you see their sparkle go away. I wanted to cancel the appointment for euthanasia all day prior to Dr. Mindy to arriving at our home because Hobie was having one of those "good days" and he was his normal self with puppy energy. When Dr. Mindy saw him, he greeted her with some kisses and tail wags. When she pet his neck and felt the lymph nodes swollen to the size of a baseball, she knew right away that it was time. She eased my doubts if we were doing the right thing because she said that him going out on his terms with dignity is the best way as opposed to suffocating slowly to keep him around for us selfishly while he suffers. When it was time for the procedure Dr. Mindy was very informative as to what was about to happen but with the most sincere compassion. She knew that we were experiencing our worst day but was never robotic, she felt as if she was a family friend the whole time. One thing I did want to share before I finish here, when we had Hobie on the stretcher ready to load his body in the car, something really interesting happened. We have an AeroGarden that we grow herbs in. It has an automatic timer and the light is on for 16 hours a day constantly. As we lifted Hobie up to carry him out, the light on the AeroGarden went out. It has never done this before. It came back on a few seconds later. We like to think it was Hobie saying goodbye to us in his own way. So in conclusion, I was referred to Caring Pathways from a colleague and I am so glad we chose them. The detail, the compassion and the professionalism is outstanding. The ability to be able to be with your pet at home during such an emotional and painful moment as opposed to a cold vet's office's table, is something I can't appreciate enough. The grieving packet they provide for you is also so informative and reassuring. Our cat is grieving too and the packet prepared us for what to expect for him. I recommend this company highly if you ever have to make this tough decision. They make the worst decision you have to make easier with the amount of compassion and sincerity. Thank you Caring Pathways and Dr. Mindy! read more

We called upon Caring Pathways to help assist our dog transition, and I highly recommend using them if you find yourself in a similar unfortunate situation. From the first phone call, They were compassionate and understanding and provided a lot of information that made everything very transparent. They helped us make sure we knew everything about the process to help us know we were making an informed choice. When it was time to schedule, they had availability that included weekends to help accommodate a busy schedule. With such an emotional process, it was good that we didn't have to book at a time where we wouldn't have time to properly grieve. We had Dr. Tara Poyer come out to help with the process. Throughout every moment she was kind and caring, providing both information about everything she was doing. She demonstrated compassion and respect for the sanctity of what was going on from start to finish. She made us feel supported in a really tough time, and easier for the transition. Going through this is tough for any pet on a pet owner, but They really made it as easy as it could be. Would recommend! read more
