From the receptionist Judith when making the appointment and when we picked up our dogs ashes, to the veterinarian, Dr. Tara Poyer, who helped our doggo cross the rainbow bridge, Caring Pathways was 100% the right choice when it came to the end of life care for our family and dog. If you're struggling with making the decision of who to trust, Caring Pathways definitely gets my vote of confidence. If I could give 100 stars, I definitely would. read more

Well putting a dog down is very heartbreaking and even devastating the people of caring pathways were understanding, kind, thoughtful and made the experience as peaceful as it could be. Well the cost was much more than taking my buddy to the vet I feel it was very worth it for both my dog and my family I would highly recommend them if you're ever in the situation where you need them read more

I would give Caring Pathways 10 stars. Our family had a beloved 20+ year old pet who was very sick. We didn't want to move her to the hospital as we thought it would be too upsetting. We wanted her to be in her comfortable familiar surroundings. I called Caring Pathways, and honestly, had to call 2-3 times but finally got someone on the phone. The person that answered was nice, caring and professional. We set an appointment and Dr. Hoppe arrived. He was literally a Godsend. He was so compassionate and he truly helped us when we needed it most. He was very caring, and our pet responded very positively to him which didn't always happen as she was a bit finicky sometimes with strangers. He took time to ask lots of medical history and questions, he got to know our pet, and explained all of the options available to us. It was a very difficult time, but Dr. Hoppe made everything a lot better and more bearable for my family. Thank you Dr. Hoppe, we really appreciate your kindness and assistance at such a difficult time. We will always be thankful of the visit, and can't recommend Caring Pathways enough. We really needed assistance that was gentle and kind and that is exactly what we received. read more

This place was absolutely amazing. They deserve 10 stars. We unfortunately had to put down both of our fur babies. So we decided to put them down in the in the comfort of our own home. Dr. Steve was above and beyond caring. He explained everything so well. You can tell he is passionate about his job and takes it seriously. He was very nice, and so gentle. For this being one of the hardest things we've had to do he was the perfect person to do it. We got so lucky to have found this place and to have gotten Dr Steve. I wouldn't have wanted it done any other way. Thanks again Caring Pathways and Dr. Steve! read more

Making the phone call to Caring Pathways in order to schedule a time to do what had to be done, was absolutely one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, but I am so glad that I did. I have never used an at home service like this before so I didn't really know what to expect. I feared it would be cold & clinical but I was so wrong - The kindness and compassion began on the initial phone call and continued all the way through the entire process. Dr. Mavi is absolutely amazing! She is the perfect person for this job, so kind, soft spoken and patient. She came in, sat on the floor with Nika, met our other pets, listened to our stories, made us comfortable, assured us that we were making the right choice for Nika, but most importantly gave us the time that we needed. She explained everything thoroughly & completely (probably multiple times because we were so broken in the moment). It was as perfect as something this hard can be. I absolutely recommend Caring Pathways, and while I'm sure all of their Veterinarians are great, I can't imagine anyone better at it than Dr. Mavi was for us. Thank you for making a really hard day and little better. read more

We used Caring Pathways' service recently, and while nothing could make the scenario "easy," Dr Kelly Knoll made our fur baby's last moments more peaceful than I could have even hoped for. She was incredibly patient, caring, informative, and professional. I am very thankful to have found Caring Pathways. read more

This is the most enthusiastic 5-star review I've ever given on Yelp. Dr. Han came to our house and sent our beloved schnauzer off to heaven, and we're so grateful to her and the whole staff at Caring Pathways. From my first phone call, the staff at Caring Pathways truly show how much they care about one of the worst things any pet owner ever has to do in life. They pick up the phone, listen, and are exceptionally compassionate people. We were devastated to lose our pup, and Dr. Han was truly an angel from the start to the finish of our appointment. She was respectful, clear, and helped us understand every step of the process. We had as much time as we needed, and she helped us get through one of the toughest nights of our lives. Thank you, Dr. Han, and thank you, Caring Pathways. read more

I'd give them 6 stars if I could. After caring for our fur baby in her failing health these past months we saw a rapid drop off in her condition ... so made a decision Sunday that we needed to have her euthanized as soon as possible. From the time we set up a Monday appt through the whole process we were comforted and helped through the emotional mess we were in. Angel came to the house and from the moment she entered we felt her support and gentleness for ourselves and for Sophie. She took time to talk with us, to learn more about Sophie and her life, and ultimately explained in great detail every step of the way; what she was doing and what Sophie was experiencing as Angel proceeded. Sophie's passing was peaceful and tranquil. These folks in the Denver area are fantastic and the value of the whole experience of letting your pet go in the calm of their home surrounded by familiar things and people can not be overstated. Well worth the incremental additional cost over going to the vet or animal hospital. Thanks again so much for being with us, Angel read more

Back in May: I had taken my dear service dog to his vet early in the morning as an emergency and he was diagnosed with heart failure. (He was dying). So, I brought him home and called Caring Pathways to make an appointment to help him pass peacefully. My appointment was for 12:30-1:30pm. Around 11:30 my baby was deteriorating so fast that I needed someone immediately. I called back to see if anyone could come sooner and all I got was "closer to 12:30"! I conveyed my dismay and said that won't do, I'm on my way to the vet now. Reply from staff was "okay I'll cancel your appointment". No sympathy, no empathy, no understanding, no caring, no help, no consideration at all! Very unprofessional! And, to still be charged the $150 deposit fee for NOTHING? I did not cancel on a whim! I did not just decide I didn't want their help. They not only COULD not but, WOULD not provide the services I needed. If this place and it's people are so caring, as the name implies, they should know that when a special being is in distress and needs IMMEDIATE help, some compassion and understanding are required! Perhaps, case by case basis to ease some of burden both emotionally and financially. My experience was definitely not a favorable one. They do not even deserve a one star rating. read more

I just used this service and they were all so wonderful and very compassionate. From the person who scheduled my appointment (I couldn't stop crying) to Tara Poyer DMV who helped Chloe transition over. Tara was so gentle and compassionate and I really appreciated it during this painful process. read more

We had to use the service of this practice today to let our 20 year old cat pass peacefully. While this was exteremely painful we knew it was the right thing for her. These people are beyond AWESOME! I can't even begin to thank them enough. From my first contact with their scheduling team to the phenominal Dr who came to our house everything went smoothly, exactly as they explained the process. They were here within about 2 hours, and arrived exactly at the appointment time. I have to mention again how wonderful the Dr is! We had Dr Tara come over, and she was wonderful. She has an amazing bedside manner, was totally compassionate, and made us feel as comfortable as could be considering we were balling our eyes out. Hopefully no one has to go through this, but as pet parents we all know that time will eventually come. This process was so much better than being in a noisy clinic, where we have been in the past. We felt no pressure as far as how long we could spend with her. Thank you again Caring Pathway. I can't recommend this practice enough! 5 stars aren't really enough to indicate our feelings about them! read more

I had to have my dog put down because of kidney failure and I'd had him for 12 years and it was an agonizing decision. When I found caring pathways and went through the process, I could not believe how phenomenal it is. I had Dr.Angel Han who came to my house who spent every minute taking care of myself, the dog and our other dog and including everybody in the process and it was absolutely outstanding. It is worth every penny and if you have a pet that you love, please consider taking this burden from you. By talking to them they are wonderful people who have a great business model. read more

AMAZING! The people with Caring Pathways are phenomenally sensitive and knowledgeable. We meet these folks on some of our worst days. They know this and handle the situation admirably. I've had them out to my house two times. On the initial calls to schedule the appointments, I kept breaking down crying while trying to explain the situation. The person answering was so patient and understanding with me. She also took the time to fully explain the pricing and expectations. (In one case I had a 95 pound dog, and she ensured we had someone else on hand to help get her into the car.) So no surprises at such a difficult time. The people who came to the house, took the time to walk me through the process and explain what to expect ( again no surprises). They also took the time to sit with me and my pets to get to know both of us as well as other household pets. They deliver the cremains to my vet along with a lovely condolence card. It's not inexpensive to have in home pet euthanasia, however if you have the ability to do so, Caring Pathways is worth it. read more

Very compassionate and understanding. Gently offered a special idea for saving ashes which we did. Will use again if needed.

What an incredibly difficult decision to make. We recently had to put our 15 year old Bichon Rapha down. We wanted to do this at home and reached out to Caring Pathways. Mindy came over right away and on a Sunday. She couldn't have been more compassionate and caring. She explained the process thoroughly but very sensitively. She was absolutely wonderful. We are grateful to her for helping us through this dreadful process. It's no wonder that Caring Pathways has 5 stars. We'd definitely recommend them!!! Thanks to Mindy and CP! read more

Caring Pathways - Denver Metro - Veterinarians Near Me

Since learning about Caring Pathways, we have used their services on three separate occasions over several years. The service has evolved since our first interaction and now there is the ability to select products (urns, pawprints, etc.) and services (cremation type or other options) online before the arrival of the Veterinarian. That gave me time to think and consider the options, which gave me comfort and didn't put me in a position to rush when they arrived. Most recently, when the time came to let go of our sweet boy, we contacted Caring Pathways with very short notice, and they were able to make arrangements to visit our home. From the first call, they were empathetic about our situation and exceptionally gracious about getting us an appointment. When Dr. Megan arrived, our pups greeted her as if she was family. She took great care in explaining the process throughout her visit and being gentle along the way. We had time to be with Frankie after he passed and were able to help carry him to the car as we said our final goodbyes. I jokingly shared that I don't care to see a member of the Caring Pathways at my home anytime soon, but when the time comes, there's no one else I'd rather have by my side. read more

I would type too much to fully express my gratitude to this company. JoAnna was filled with grace, compassion, and gave us the best service on the worst day. Don't look any further - this is the company to go to. The service and gentle but clear communication is top notch. Thank you read more

No one wants to have to use an in home passage, but I am so glad that this was an option. It was such a relief our 18 year old pup was able to transition in the comfort of his own home. No last minute stress and the process was so caring and understanding. Dr. Steve came to our home and was so tranquil and kind with our dogs. He allowed us to mourn and helped us and our other pup say goodbye. I could not express my thanks enough to this businesses support in a very emotional time. read more

We cannot express how much you being here for us has meant to our family. Thank you for being a part of the peaceful passing of our beloved Deacon.

You are all truly amazing people!!!! read more

I am so greatful to Caring Pathways and Dr. Eddie Desko. Today I received a card from Caring Pathways and a personal note from Dr. Eddie. I was soo scared to say goodbye to my heart dog. Dr. Eddie told me what was going to happen before it happened. He was caring and kindly genuine. He helped see my furever son to the Bridge. Most painful day of my life was made less scary and that is huge to me. I highly recommend you use Caring Pathways. I had Dr. Eddie make me a beautiful keepsake paw print with my baby's name on it. Having an elderly dog with dementia is better to pass where they know home to be. read more

I feel so fortunate to have found this company, as we had a truly unique and meaningful experience saying goodbye to our beloved cat, Little Foot. It's taken me a few months to even write this, the loss felt so great, but I am so grateful for the time and energy that Dr. Mavi provided for us when letting her go. From the preparation calls, to the appointment, and even in the aftercare, we felt so taken care of and supported. If you are in the fence, I promise this is worth it, for both you and your pet. read more

Such an amazinh company. So caring and compassionate. Made sure our baby was comfortable as she passed over the rainbow bridge!!! 100% recommended! read more

Caring Pathways gave my dog a gentle, peaceful path over the rainbow bridge. The staff was wonderful at every step of the process. The vet explained the procedure clearly and kindly. I was able to love on my dog and sing her song to her as she passed. Even when you know it's time, it's never easy to say goodbye to a dog who has been a huge part of your world, and filled your life with love and joy and laughter. This was by far the least bad way I have lost a pet. This is much easier on both the dog and the humans than in-office euthanasia. I can't recommend Caring Pathways highly enough. read more

Thank you so much Caring Pathways and Dr Brewster for helping our family to cope through the passing of our cat Missy. We contacted Caring Pathways on a Sunday afternoon and they were able to come out that afternoon to assess our Cat for euthanasia. Our cat Missy, was going downhill pretty fast. She was diagnosed with stage 3 kidney diseases 2 weeks prior, was 13 years old and was not eating or drinking. It was apparent that it was her time to go on and we needed help right away, preferably keeping her home to avoid the stress of a move. Dr Brewster arrived at our home within the alloted time. She was caring and compassionate during the whole process really helping to explain with patience to our family what would happen. We chose a spot in our home where family could surround our cat and make her feel comfortable. The Dr. administered pain medication which gave us time to put Missy at ease and recall memories and get ready to say goodbye. The Dr then gave her the euthanasia medicine and explained how long it would take . I could see that our cat did not experience any pain. We were so thankful to have this last time with her in a comfortable space with a knowledgeable professional. The organization also contracts with a reputable crematory for animals. We chose the urn and services online prior to the Dr's arrival. Just having this service available to us was truly a relief so that we didn't have to worry about what to do next. Once euthanasia was complete we were provided with some grieving materials and the Dr was able to take our Missy from our home and informed she would call us to receive our pets ashes. This was all done at a very reasonable cost for all that was provided. This organization is a Godsend and again we are so grateful for their help. read more

We had to say goodbye to our dog, and Dr. Mindy was _so_ compassionate and patient. Having a house call for a traumatic event like this is far better than going to a sterile office. Everyone we spoke with was kind and professional. We did not feel pressured to buy more services than we wanted. While it was more costly than a vet visit, I feel it was worth it. read more

Making the decision to say goodbye to your furry family member is a very tough decision. Caring Pathways did such an amazing job at treating our dog with dignity and respect as he crossed over. Caroline was so patient with us and our children and explained everything to us as the process continued. I hope I don't have to do this again BUT if any of my friends asked for advice I would send them to Caring Pathways! Thank you! read more

Letting go of our Gracie girl was the hardest thing imaginable. Dr. Angel was kind and loving and did everything to make our miserable experience as peaceful as possible.

We did not want to write a single review, given the nature of the services, but have found ourselves in the heartbreaking time of needing their services twice in less than one month. Our 13 year old, beautiful dog, Misha, decided her time was up and we did not want her to have to endure what she dreaded the most: the vet's office. Dr. Anzelmo-Rump came to our home and treated us all with such respect and compassion I was left speechless. This dog was our sidekick, our daughter and our best friend. Dr. Anzelmo-Rump treated her as if she had known her her entire life and made her passing so incredibly peaceful. Thank you for your kindness, intuitiveness and genuine compassion for Mushy Bear. This morning we had to make the decision to help another one of our fur kids go, this time, it was our 14 year old cat Beasley. He was once the most handsome cat in the history of cats. He was down to less than half of his body weight and still, Dr. Coveyou recognized how stunning he was, skinny body and all. She was so gentle with his tiny, frail body, offering reassurance that when in your heart you knows it is time to let them go, you are doing them a favor. When she said, "Beasley's free", I literally thought my heart would break. These words will haunt me for now, but comfort me in the future. Thank you to your entire team for taking care of our most precious possessions, our pets. We would do anything to have them back, but know their time was up and Caring Pathways sent them on a wonderful journey to be with the siblings who have gone before them. read more

I had to use Caring Pathways to let my sweet baby Portia go. She had cancer, was in pain, declining, and I couldn't keep her alive just for my sake. I called on a Friday evening to inquire about their services. I left a message and they returned my call within 2 hours. The person on the phone was very nice and empathetic. She took my details and explained what to expect in detail and answered my questions with patience. One important thing I wanted to know was if they'd do the euthanasia inside if I opened the windows and kept my family more than 6 feet away with masks on, and she said it depended on the doctor's preference (during the time of COVID precautions) . On Saturday, I called back to schedule the euthanasia for Sunday morning. Once again, the person who answered was very kind and re-explained what to expect. The doctor they scheduled for me was OK with doing it inside my home. I spent the next 24 hours loving my Portia. I got a text on Sunday morning with the doctor's ETA (within 30 mins of appointment time which was explained beforehand). When she arrived, she asked if I had any questions and re-explained the steps to me and my family. I had to sign a couple of papers. She allowed us plenty of time to say goodbye to Portia with every step, starting prior to the first injection, then after when she was in a deep sleep (everyone was able to pet her and say final goodbyes), and then when I was ready, she administered the final injection that stopped Portia's heart. At that time, she took an impression of Portia's paw and left the house to allow me as much time as I needed to say my final goodbye alone with Portia. When I was done, I texted the doctor to come back inside. She brought a basket with a soft blanket to put Portia in, and then took her back to her vehicle to transport Portia to Guardian Pet Aquamation. When Portia's cremains were ready, Caring Pathways notified me and I picked them up from their DTC office. The person in the office to greet me was very kind and empathic, asked me how I was doing, etc. I joined their free Facebook pet loss support group. The grief specialist they have on staff recommended a great pet bereavement therapist to me (Mourning to Light). Overall, I am very happy with Caring Pathways' service, compassion, empathy, patience, and support. The total cost to me was $633, which included the in-home euthanasia ($329), paw print impression ($25), the extra charge for the weekend appointment ($30), private aquamation at Guardian Pet Aquamation for my 10 lb dog including transport and cremains returned ($249). They provided lots of free grief support resources (including info for free virtual support group meetings via Zoom/phone) and a recommendation to an outside pet loss grief counselor (scheduled and paid separately). I will be using Caring Pathways again for my other geriatric dog when the time comes, and would recommend this company to others. read more

For your pet's end of life care I cannot express enough how much Caring Pathways did a fantastic job when it came time to say goodbye in comfort of our home.

My almost 8 year old great dane woke up with a limp mid Tuesday and by that evening she was in agony and could not walk, eat, drink nor play. Our hearts knew that her time had come. I sent an email in the middle of the night and received a call at 7 a.m. along with an email detailing rates and the overall process. When I called back, the young lady I spoke to was so very compassionate. Minnie passed away last night, in her home, surrounded by the people who loved her. Dr. Jen treated Minnie with such dignity and respect and was amazing with us. There are no words to express how thankful I am for Caring Pathways. read more

My husband and I were so impressed with this company. Called them the morning of for my sweet elderly and very sick kitty and they were able to come by the same afternoon. The kindest and most compassionate vet we've ever met was sent to my home (who was appropriately named Angel). Dr. Angel Han was truly amazing and so perfect for her role. She took her time with us and did not rush the process at all, which we are extremely grateful for considering how difficult it was for us to say goodbye to our little girl, who we've had for 14 wonderful years. Angel explained everything so thoroughly and compassionately and made sure she answered any questions or concerns we had. She really made a very pleasant situation out of an extremely unpleasant one. I would 100% use this company again. When the time comes I prefer that my furbabies cross over in the comfort of their own home with as little stress as possible and Caring Pathways came through. You never know when the right time is but Angel reassured us (in our grief-stricken fragile state) that we were doing the right thing and it helped us get through the process with less guilt and uncertainty. Lastly, the aftercare options were some of the nicest we've seen and we got our sweet baby returned to us so quickly! We can't thank you enough for the service you provide and we consider ourselves lucky to have access to such great care. read more

Caring Pathways provided a caring and comprehensive service throughout the whole process. Staff are very professional and the company does a good job of anticipating the needs of their clients and offering options to meet their needs.

I recommend them to all pet owners and pet lovers. read more

The people at Caring Pathways are incredibly compassionate and professional. Having to say goodbye to our sweet boy was one of the hardest decisions we've ever had to make, but being able to conduct the process in the comfort of our home was truly a blessing. I am so grateful they offer their services to allow for our dearly beloved pets to pass in the place they feel most safe. I was actually surprised at how peaceful the entire process was. The veterinarian who assisted us was informative and showed a great amount of tenderness and grace towards our dog. I found their services to be reasonably affordable and flexible. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to have a job like this, but I am so thankful there are caring individuals out there who can do it. read more

Our cat had anxiety whenever we took him to the vet, so having this option available was a godsend. Dr. Nicole is an angel. Our precious kitty had the most peaceful transition thanks to her. We were able to say our goodbyes without being rushed and she made one of the darkest days in our lives much brighter. I can't imagine the experience going any better. This was absolutely the way to go. read more

We made the excruciating decision to say goodbye to our dear friend of over 12 years. Dr. Erin Mills was extremely kind, very professional and calming, and walked us through everything.

I had to make the very difficult decision to put my 18 1/2 year old cat, Mica, to sleep recently. Caring Pathways was wonderful. A friend of mine had used them for her dog and I was there with her for that event; so I already knew they'd be wonderful. Everything in my dealings with the company was professional and sensitive. I was able to fill out paperwork and email it to them since we are still dealing with COVID-19. When Dr. Suzie showed up, she explained how everything would work and even let me "Facetime in" my partner who was up in Wyoming for a serious family issue. I am so thankful that Dr. Suzie was willing to come into our home and just let me open the front door for ventilation while she put Mica to sleep. Mica hated going to the vet and she was so much more comfortable and relaxed at home than she would have been at the vet. It was about $400 for the pre-visit arrangements/paperwork, the euthenasia, the transport and cremation of Mica, getting Mica's remains back at our local vet, and getting a paw print keepsake of Mica. I promised to write a raving review after I also returned from Wyoming. And here it is! If you ever need a service like this, choose Caring Pathways and ask for Dr. Suzie. (Although I'm sure their other vets are great too...) read more
