    My baby girl Delilah!
    Alekkz D.

    This took me 2 months to write this review. I still can't believe how it all went down. My sweet 15 1/2 year old girl whom I had the pleasure to take care of for 13 years (adopted her when she was 2). Aside from her arthritis, dementia, and the little lipomas she had growing all over her body... her energy level has always been the same as when I first got her and I really believed I had a solid 1-2 more years with her. One Friday morning, I woke up as per usual to get ready for work, come downstairs to let her out (she was pacing and wandering middle of the night due to her dementia so she gets zipped into her crate for bedtime) and she was sleeping facing away from me. She never ever slept facing away. I touch her bum to wake her as she wasn't waking up to my voice. The moment I touched her, she was cold and rock hard. I couldn't believe what was happening so I had to wiggle her some more and she was just so cold... that's when it hit me. I burst into tears... yelled out for my husband who was still asleep... (it was 6am)... and I had no clue what to do. I mean, I've never had to deal with a death of a pet before (aside from small creatures like fish and hamsters as a kid). My girl was 65lbs of flesh! Like what was I supposed to do? In hindsight, I knew I should have had an emergency plan set up but I just was in denial that she had plenty of time left. I had to google pet cremation services near me and this is where Compassion 4 Paws came in. Sorry this is a long review but then again all my reviews are long. I had wait 2 hours for them to open for business hours and so I decided to email them first. Someone emailed me back shortly so that really helped a lot to get some answers. I called when they opened and unfortunately because it was so last minute they didn't have an appointment ready until 2:30PM (I think, my times might be slightly off because this was 2 months ago). I asked what I can do to keep Delilah in tact so she doesn't go "bad"... I didn't want to keep her exposed because by the time I found her she was already bloated so I sat beside her blasting the AC. I got a call shortly after like an hour or so after the initial call and they said they had an opening around 10 something and so I got ready and loaded Delilah in the car and went over. I'm sorry I forgot the person's name but a super nice guy greeted us, my face was a mess from crying but he made the process so easy and I am forever thankful for everything Compassion 4 Paws did for us. They got Delilah ready in a room and we got to say our goodbyes for as long as we needed. I decided for the private water cremation and picked out an urn. A week and a half-ish later I received a call that Delilah was ready to be picked up. Everything went so smoothly and I just started bursting into tears when I got home and opened up the little package they created for me with her jar of hair and her paw print. Thank you SO MUCH for everything and making my first loss as smooth as possible, she was my soul dog and my best friend. I would not be on this Earth today without Delilah and she was in the best of hands.

    Dr. Black was so caring and compassionate. His empathy really helped us through the process of letting go of our beloved Mochi. He handled Mochi with kindness and respect. Yhank you for this outstanding service.

    Compassion 4 Paws was recommended to me by my sister-in-law who had to let her furbaby go the previous year. She and I agree they made the hardest day of our lives a little easier. The nurse who came was able to read the room and had no problem giving us all the time we needed. She had the right presence to give my baby and I the calm we needed. I felt 100% comfortable having her come into my house. She knew how hard this day was for me and being there in a calm professional manner was everything. The nurse was so kind to let me know everything I needed to know and guided me through what would happen and what to expect. Not having to take my sick boy to the vet (his least favorite place on the planet) on his last day gave me such peace of mind that he could actually go in peace. I could tell she really cared about me and my little guy. Getting his remains back with the paw imprint and a jar of his fur was so comforting to me and worth every penny. The whole experience was wonderful considering this was literally the hardest, saddest day of my life. I would recommend Compassion 4 Paws to anyone who needs to plan for their beloved furbabe to pass in peace at home.

    This is a review that is very difficult to write, and I don't have the words to express the deep and heartfelt gratitude that I have for Compassion 4 Paws. I hope your family never has to use a service like this, but if you find yourself in the unlucky position, I know Compassion 4 Paws will treat you and your beloved animal companion like you are family, and make sure the passing is dignified, peaceful, and done with lots of care. My very best friend, and beloved family member, Tommy, had an aggressive cancer that grew quickly and I needed to schedule an emergency euthanasia appt. I got the news late one evening and called lots of places frantically trying to find someone that could come to my place asap so Tommy could pass in the comfort of our home, with all his favorite toys and blankets, and with all our family so loves him so dearly. They actually answered my late night call, comforted me, and did everything they could to get an appt for us the following day. The doctor that came through was so incredibly kind and comforting; she somehow managed to be supportive yet non-intrusive. Most recently my parent's animal companion also suddenly needed this service. They worked with us to get us an appt even though they were booked and also made recommendations for other companies that might be able to come sooner. It was clear that they wanted the best for our family and did everything they could to support us. In summary, losing an animal companion is such a terrible experience, and I am so grateful to Compassion 4 Paws for treating my family like family during such a painful time, and helping Tommy pass in a dignified, peaceful way.

    Love this option for end of life for our furry family. Dr. Sara was so nice. She came to our home, with all the care & understanding you need for helping your pet go. She listened to all our silly stories about our cat Danny (who incidentally, just happened to be the best cat ever!!). She kindly walked us through the process. We felt like she had all the time in the world for us. She brought everything she needed. I really can't recommend choosing this option & Compassion 4 Paws does an exemplary job. You get to stay at home, with your whole family. No last drive to the Vet.

    Our sweet Boxer

    From the first call, to Dr. Nicole coming to our home, to handling our pet after he had passed, everyone was so compassionate and respectful of our needs and grief. Being able to say goodbye in familiar surroundings at home made it less stressful for our sweet kitty. If you want the very best for your pet, this is the last gesture of love you can make. We highly recommend Compassion 4 Paws.

    Absolutely amazing team on a soul crushing day. I called right when they opened on a Saturday morning, and they had someone out two hours later. The woman on the phone was compassionate and kind, they sent a detailed email of everything that happens so I knew what to expect, When Dr. Black arrived he was amazingly patient with me- I was a mess. He was gentle with Caly, walked through everything for me and gave me a lot of time to process each step. He also asked about what she was like, and brought back better memories. I don't know that I would have the strength he has to do that job- but it is such a gift to pets and pet parents. Caly passed peacefully laying in my lap at home surrounded by her things. And her brother cat was allowed to come sniff her after she passed, in hopes it might help him understand why she's no longer here. A horrible day but an amazing company.

    My dogs cremains.

    Hummingbird Veterinary Care

    Our Italian Greyhound, "Sophie", passed over the rainbow bridge on Tuesday. Cascade Veterinary had…read morediscovered cancer throughout her body. We looked for a service that would come to our home and anesthetize Sophie while we held her. We found Nicole Vega of Hummingbird Veterinary who came promptly. She answered all our questions and offered all of the other end-of-life services that might be required. After anesthetizing Sophie, she lined up a cremation service, source for an urn with inscription, and took Sophie with her to follow through on all those services. Dr. Vega was thorough and compassionate at every step of the process. She was thoughtful enough to create a clay medallion with Sophie's foot prints impressed in it (see pic). It turns out that Dr. Vega is well known and highly regarded in this area. She substitutes for other veterinarians when asked. We've decided to take advantage of the preventative care service she offers. Her philosophy of "an oz. of prevention is worth a lb. of cure" makes excellent sense in a time when other veterinarians are scheduling their services one to two months out. Her services to us were 5-Stars!

    It can be such a hard decision to say goodbye to our four-legged family members, but I always hoped…read morethat when the time came to say goodbye to my girl, I'd be able to use an at-home euthanasia vet. I feel very fortunate Dr. Vega was available for us - she was so organized, communicative, and professional from the first email communication until her departure from our home. I was really impressed with her calm demeanor, that it was important to her that we were all as comfortable as could be before moving forward, and that we had all our questions and concerns addressed. She was kind and efficient in all the right ways and I wouldn't hesitate to call upon her again or recommend her to a friend. Thank you, Dr. Vega, for your compassion in such a difficult time. You are a blessing!
