They even call to check up to see if they need to intervene more. They were the only vet that I called and could get her in same day. From the first visit, I could see they were caring, efficient and not trying to gouge me for money. They also work very quickly and can usually diagnose the problem in under an hour if not sooner. My dog is also pretty calm when she goes in meaning I think shes knows they are not going to hurt her and are only going to help her. Although this vet is a little far for me, I will continue to go here knowing they actually care as much as I do about my furry family! Thanks Paradise Point! Keep up the good work!

This may be the most difficult review I've ever had to write, but the quality of the service…read moreprovided by All About Restful Pets on the hardest day of my life warrants powering through and sharing my experience in the chance it helps someone make the decision to choose AARP. Our sweetest 13 year old mix, Nemmie, took a sharp turn for the worse after a brief battle with splenic cancer. I reached out to AARP on a Friday in hopes of scheduling them over the weekend. I was able to schedule online, and Shelley reached out the following morning to confirm the appointment and provide resources and instructions. Unfortunately, Nemmie's condition rapidly declined and it was clear that she would not make it to the original appointment. I reached out the Shelley, who was able to reschedule our appointment to that same day to make sure our sweet girl could be put to rest with dignity and little to no suffering. Dr. Falcone was the vet assigned to us. She called me roughly 30 minutes prior to the appointment time, letting me know that she was in the area and could arrive before the 12pm appointment. However, she also let us know that it was completely okay if we wanted her to wait until the original appointment time so we could spend an extra few minutes with our girl. She arrived promptly at the appointment time, and was nothing short of an angel for our girl (and for us) throughout the entire experience. I can imagine that having her job would not be an easy one. However, she handled our situation with such grace, empathy, and kindness. Before the procedure started, she took the time to walk us through each step of the process. She also made sure to be as gentle as possible, while getting Nemmie as comfortable as possible before everything started. We also have another dog in the house, who was very curious about what was going on. Dr. Falcone was so sweet to him as well, and let him sniff her, give licks, and be all up in her business prior to the procedure starting. She also did not rush us at any point in the slightest, and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye to our sweet girl. Once the procedure had finished and Nemmie was no longer with us, again, Dr. Falcone let us have as much time as wanted to say our final goodbyes. She also allowed me the privilege of lifting my girl onto the stretcher, covering her with a blanket, and helping carry her out of our house and to Dr. Falcone's car for transportation to the crematorium. One small little touch that I'll forever remember. She was also very clear that there are two options for having your dog's ashes returned to you: either having them shipped to the vet, or shipped directly to your home. AARP's services, quality of care, and empathy for their clients & their pets are truly second to none. The opportunity to have been able to put our girl to rest in the comfort of her lifelong home while surrounded by love and comfort, is truly something that you can't put a price on. When your inevitable duty as a pet parent to see your pet off to the Rainbow Bridge comes, I can't recommend using All About Restful Pets enough. They truly are the best at what they do, and make the worst day of your life just a little bit better.

Making the decision to say goodbye to my French bulldog, Rambo, was one of the hardest things I've…read moreever had to do. Rambo was my baby, and I was absolutely dreading this moment. With a decision like this comes so much doubt and guilt. You question whether you're doing the right thing, whether they might somehow pull through, and the emotional weight can feel overwhelming. On September 21st, 2023 Dr. Ryan Pearce lifted that weight from my heart. From the moment he arrived, he approached everything with compassion, calm, and professionalism. He gently explained just how sick Rambo truly was and gave me reassurance that choosing euthanasia was an act of love, not failure. He answered every question we had, never rushed us, and gave our family the time and space we needed both before and after Rambo passed. His wife, Jessica, was just as thoughtful and kind. She later hand-delivered Rambo's ashes in a beautiful wooden urn. They also provided two paw print molds, one for me and one for my mom along with several stamped paw prints. One was even framed and sits on my dresser to this day. Although I may have read about these keepsakes on their website while searching through my grief, receiving them felt like the most meaningful and comforting surprise. Being able to share those pieces with my mom meant so much. Two years before losing Rambo, I had used another in-home service that was good but Dr. Pearce and Jessica were truly exceptional. Their compassion, attention to detail, and genuine care made an unbearable day more peaceful. On February 11th, 2026, we chose them again because of the experience we had. It was time to say goodbye to Cinco, my sister's dog, who my mom had taken in and cared for. Cinco was 16 years old and had outlived all of our other dogs. Losing her felt especially heavy for my mom. There was something about her being the last one, the one who had been there through everything, that made the grief deeper and it still is. In a time when it feels like you cannot possibly make it through the pain, Dr. Pearce's kindness and steady presence helped relieve some of that weight. That kind of compassion stays with you. We are forever grateful that both Rambo and Cinco were able to pass with dignity, love, and gentleness. We cannot recommend them enough. Thank you, Selena, Jeanne and Tyree

He let me know that he doesn't service this area since it's about an hour from his home (52.6 miles), I appreciate how quickly he returned my call. Living out here can be challenging because many services just aren't available. My regular vet is only open Monday-Thursday until 4 p.m. which is difficult to work around as a teacher.

"Judged", "very cold, detached and rude", as another review put it, is an understatement for our interaction. Unfortunately, what should have been a peaceful goodbye turned into one of the most traumatic experiences of my life because of how Dr. Christina handled the situation. From the moment she walked in, she barely acknowledged us. There was little to no warmth or compassion--just a quick assessment and then we were told we could begin. I stood my sweet girl up to walk outside, something we had been doing all day because she hated being carried. Instead of showing understanding, Dr. Christina abruptly told us we were hurting her and making things worse. In the middle of my grief, I asked her to show a little compassion. She completely shut us down and told us she was "the animal's only advocate," as if we hadn't spent 16 years loving and caring for our dog. Dr. Christina made NO efforts to de-escalate the situation even in the slightest. I won't pretend I handled it perfectly either. I was overwhelmed, heartbroken, and shocked by how cold she was given the circumstances. While I was outside cradling my dog, Dr. Christina stayed inside arguing with my crying mother and brother. Eventually, my family managed to calm things down enough so we could move forward--because it's not like you can "cancel" something like this once it starts. When she came out to where my pup and I were in the backyard, she administered the sedation and, through my tears, she looked me straight in the eyes and said, "I just want you to know I'm not in the wrong here." Then she left us outside and went back into our home. I sat there, absolutely shattered, trying to focus on my dog and give her the goodbye she deserved. But instead of peace, we were left with trauma. My mother stayed up all night second-guessing everything, searching the internet for reassurance that we had done right by our pup--because of how judged and dismissed we felt. On top of grieving, my family now had to process the implication that we were not advocating for my baby and how cruelly and coldly it was all handled. This was one of the most painful, dehumanizing experiences I've ever been through--and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. While I understand that Dr. Christina's job is extremely challenging and emotionally taxing, it is important to acknowledge that with such a role comes a responsibility to show compassion and professionalism. Families who make the heartbreaking decision are already enduring an incredibly difficult experience. A basic level of bedside manner is not optional--it is essential. The people saying goodbye to a beloved companion deserve empathy, respect, and care from the professionals entrusted with such a deeply personal moment. We pay for a service, not personal opinion and judgment.

Short version = Tiffany at Pets at Peace responded quickly (I reached out late Monday evening, and…read moreshe came to our house early in the afternoon the next day). She was compassionate (she went above and beyond to make sure my pet was comfortable and felt no pain). She took her time (which allowed me to take my time saying goodbye). Tiffany made an impossible situation the best it could be for all involved, and I will be eternally grateful to her for that. Long version = My wonderful companion, Brigitte, the miniature poodle, was diagnosed with lung cancer in August 2025. She did well for most of the next few months, but after the new year she started declining. On the evening of January 5th, 2026, I made the decision that every pet owner dreads. I reached out to Tiffany at Pets at Peace that night, and she came to our house at 12:30 pm the next day. This next part is important so please read as it may help you and your pet. I told Tiffany my biggest worry was the initial injection used to sedate Brigitte before the euthanasia injection was given. For my past two dogs it was clear that this shot stung a little, which was distressing for them (at least briefly) and for me (ever since). So, before giving Brigitte that sedative/anesthesia injection, Tiffany gave Brigitte an oral sedative that made her fall asleep first (we were lucky; Brigitte was still eating until the very end and we were able to mix the oral sedative in with some bread and cheese, which she always loved). After several minutes, when I was comfortable Brigitte was deeply asleep, Tiffany injected the main sedative/anesthesia. I watched Brigitte very closely as this injection was administered and I was very relieved to see that she did not react at all. This was the greatest gift Tiffany gave both of us. After several more minutes passed, Tiffany administers the final injection. Again, I watched Brigitte very closely, and I am confident she died as quickly, painlessly, and peacefully as possible. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Tiffany and Pets at Peace, on behalf of both Brigitte and me.

We called Dr. Morrison as heartbroken and desperate pet parents, unsure of what we were calling for and just guidance from a kind vet who may understand our grief. Dr. Morrison not only answered the call but explained in detail her services and promised us a peaceful night. It was EVERYTHING and more. Dr. Morrison's approach may not be for everyone and that is ok. But what I will say is she absolutely makes this time about you and your pet. She's completely honest with her approach, what to expect during the night and what you may help with during the process. Dr. Morrison really eases you into the moments, tells you to tell her your pace and is considerate of your heartbreak. After it was done, she gave us all the time in the world to grieve and say our goodbyes. We took an hour and not one word from Dr. Morrison because she knew we needed that time. She stepped away during that time and just told us to come get her when we're ready She also tells us to be completely honest with her during this process; the pace, the things we may want like paw print or fur, at the end she wraps your pet in a warm blanket with a pillow a stuffy and a pink boa. We kindly said the boa didn't really reflect our girl and she immediately understood and took it off. It didn't take away from our grief or the moment because you know everything she does is to try and help. I cannot recommend her services more and I'm without a doubt convinced that there is a reserved seat in heaven for Dr. Morrison because of what she does for families everyday and the peace she brought us will always be appreciated.

From the moment I got on the call, they were caring, kind and patient through my tears and brain fog. They made scheduling easy, payment convenient and had it all set up for me so all I had to do was be present on the day of euthanasia. Our veterinarian was Tali T in Phoenix and I HIGHLY recommend her. She was patient, explained everything with care and attention before beginning, and allowed me to pace the appointment. She didn't rush me at all. I also loved that she didn't seem to try to fill the space or give me sentiments. She sat with me in my grief. It was such a wonderful gift. Tali went above and beyond by clipping my girls hair and putting it in a keepsake jar provided by her and helping me to make nose and paw impressions with materials I had purchased. She helped me tenderly place my pup into her final resting place in my yard and slipped out quietly so that I could have my last moments with her. About 3 weeks after my pets death, I received a hand written note in the mail from Tali. It was such a kind hearted, wonderful note. I don't know how I got so lucky to have this angel by my side through my pups death, but I am so grateful I did. She (and the Blue Pearl Hospice Team) helped me do the unbearable, and for that I am eternally grateful.
