Dr. Marchi made an extremely difficult time much easier for my family. He arrived right on time and was very professional but compassionate. He explained the process and worked with us to make it as quick and painless as possible for our 15 year old pup. Our dog went very peacefully, and as my wife described it, it went perfectly all things considered. I highly recommend Dr. Marchi and his team. Thank you for your services. read more

Thank you, Dr. Hall, for your compassion and for explaining the process to us before we laid our baby Naya to rest. Also, a big thank you to Imani for being so communicative with me during this time. I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Once again, thank you for everything. I hope I won't need to call for your services again, but if I do, I know that with Dr. Hall and Imani, I am in good hands. read more

Dr. Marchi was recommended to me by my vet at Primary Care Bixby Knolls when I was preparing for the possible passing of my 16 year old dog, TamTam. I ended up communicating with Amber through email and text, and she was honestly so kind and supportive the entire time. They respected my request to avoid phone calls, which I really appreciated because I just was not in the headspace for that. Amber was also incredibly responsive to every update I sent, whether it was texts, photos, or even videos of TamTam. I even shared photos of him when he was younger and of the rest of our pack, and she was so warm and engaging about all of it. It never felt transactional at all, which meant a lot during such a heavy time. We didn't end up needing their services since TamTam passed peacefully at home with us by his side, but talking to Amber genuinely helped me through the process. They also offer ScratchPay, which is helpful for those concerned about cost. I will always appreciate the empathy Amber showed us during such a difficult moment. read more

Dr. Nguyen was wonderful and made the experience so much better than being at the vet office. My baby went peacefully at home.

This is one review you don't really want to write, but I feel it's required for the greater good. We unfortunately had to put our 15 year old Chihuahua down due to some declining health problems. She had always hated going to the Vet's Office so I promised myself when the time came that it wouldn't be in that environment, so we found the best alternative in Dr. Marchi. When the decision was made, I sent a text after hours and was able to get a response the next morning about scheduling the same day. He also does after hours which worked well for us. Dr. Marchi was very considerate and talked us through the whole process beforehand to let us know what to expect. He gave us the all remaining time we needed with her before he did his part which was quick and painless for our dog. He also took a paw print of her for our keepsake. Since we opted in for the cremation services, I did get a call by the end of the week that she was ready for pickup at the Crematorium located in LA and she's now at home with us. I would highly recommend this service, even though the price is more than doing so at the local vet's office. It was well worth it for us. read more

I highly highly recommended Bedside Vet. The care and compassion that they give during this difficult time was top notch. From the assistants that texted (Imani and Val) to Dr. Nguyen, we felt so supported during this heartbreaking decision. Making the decision to send our 17 year old Reggie to the rainbow bridge was a hard one. One that makes you second guess if you're doing the right thing. In your heart you know it's time but in your mind you second guess yourself. Just getting to talk to Dr. Nguyen made us feel at ease and helped us realized we did make the best decision. We have another fur baby at home. When that time comes and we need to possibly make this decision again, we know who we are calling to assist. read more

We made the best decision to help our cat Maggie cross the rainbow bridge at home. Our Maggie had cancer and her tumors were affecting her quality of life. A family member used and recommended this vet to us. We communicated through text and they were able to schedule us on the requested day and time. The process is seamless. Dr. Hall was amazing. She worked in a way that made us feel like it was just us and we had this whole moment to ourselves with our cat and she was just in the background. Yes, it is more expensive than the vets office. Money comes and goes! It was worth every dollar that we didn't have to stress our cat out by taking her in the car (hated car rides) and having her last moments in a strange and unfamiliar place. I wish we did this for our dog that we had to say goodbye to 2 years ago! They list the cost in their website so there are no surprises. Our Maggie went peacefully in our bedroom in my husband's arms and purred for us before she fell into her deep sleep. We took the clay paw impression and it was perfect. She was placed in a basked wrapped in a blanket. We will forever miss our Maggie! We chose private cremation and 3 days later her ashes are ready to come back home. If you're reading this because you are considering the service... do it. You'll never regret the cost. You'll only regret that you didn't if you chose not to. read more

Dr Marchi and Dr. Hall have been a comfort during one of the most heartbreaking times of being a pet parent. choosing a compassionate ending to a beloved pet is agonizing but responsible decision we've had to make. These vets have brought their compassionate service into our home and have made the process more peaceful. We have said goodbye to three of our dogs in the past five years. They all lived a long life, but they all went in their own way and Dr Marchi and team have been there to the end. read more

We had to put our 13 year old rescue, Rocco down as he suffered from severe congestive heart failure. It became obvious that he was within his final days, if not hours, and we didn't want to prolong his suffering any longer. We contacted Dr. Marchi's office in the morning and received a phone call back within the same hour. Everyone was very gentle and understanding throughout the entire process. We were able to get an appointment the same day as we requested. Dr. Nguyen continuously updated us through text regarding her arrival time and arrived within our scheduled appointment window. Dr Nguyen is amazing, she explained the entire process and made sure we were ready with each step. The entire process took about 15-20 minutes. We were so thankful we had Dr. Nguyen and were able to help Rocco pass at home surrounded by his entire family. Afterwards she took his paw print in clay, and gently placed him in the basket and blanket she brought. This is never an easy decision, but it was the right one in our case, and we will definitely be using Dr. Marchi's services again if the time does ever come to it. Thank you read more

Dr Nguyen arrived on time, was so soft spoken and kind and walked us through the whole process beforehand. She asked about how our Jackie came into our lives and our fondest memories.

Dr Marchi was a referral from my childhood friend who has had to send a few of her pups over the rainbow bridge in the last ten years. My mother's 16 year old dog was her fur baby. She was not going to allow Moses to cross the rainbow bridge at the vets office. The process was surprisingly easy. Communication was through his assistants via text and I filled out the google docs and submitted the payment via Venmo (they accept pet insurance as well). It was so comforting to see how professional and compassionate Dr Marchi and his assistants were during our difficult time. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is (unfortunately) looking for a compassionate way of sending their beloved pets over the rainbow bridge. read more

If you are here, you've come to the heartbreaking yet kind decision it's time for your pet to cross the Rainbow Bridge. My husband and I had a 17.5 year old guy named Charlie who was/is our everything. His health took a turn the last month and we decided it was time to explore in-home euthanasia. This decision is never easy and you won't ever be prepared but Dr. Marchi and his team make an impossible process much easier due to their kindness and compassion. The last three days before Charlie's passing we took him to his favorite places including the beach, park, took him on a drive listening to his favorite reggae songs, grandma's backyard and gave him all of his favorite foods. When we scheduled this tough decision, Kiana and Val were very responsive with all my questions. We shared our preferred time and date which they thankfully accommodated. We signed e-documents the morning of and submitted our Venmo payment making it easier not to have to do that during his passing. You have the option to do communal or non-communal cremation (we chose non-communal), an urn, engraving, ink nose print and clay paw print impressions. We did everything because we want to keep his presence around us - he made our place a home. When we were on Charlie's last walk, Dr. Marchi texted that he arrived and we introduced him to Charlie. This is and incredibly vulveranle and emotional process and we couldn't stop crying, but Dr. Marchi has such a softness that it didn't feel awkward. He asked us about Charlie and how long we've had him. He then explained the process and didn't rush us at all. He waited for us to give him the green light to proceed. Charlie sniffed him, his bag, then curled up on his bed on the floor where we sat next to him. Before any sedation was given, he fell into a deep sleep. He knew it was his time and even while his leg was buzzed and the first sedation shot was given, he didn't flinch. He fell asleep peacefully and began dreaming. Dr. Marchi said he was ready for the final step but let us say our goodbyes and told us to tell him when he was ready. We cried and pet and held Charlie then gave a nod we were as ready as we could be. Within a minute, Charlie passed peacefully in our home, in his favorite bed and surrounded by love. He took a clay paw print impression with his little paw right after. He grabbed a basket with a blanket and we covered him, we gave him a few more kisses and carried him to Dr. Marchi's car. As I write this, I'm still in disbelief but I will say if you find yourself at this point, choose Dr. Marchi and his team. Please know to proceed this way is a kindness to them and to stop their suffering although it feels absolutely crushing. I'm so sorry you are here but know that you deeply care and love your pet that really is family. Dr. Marchi and his team made this process so much easier. I contacted multiple other in-home euthanasia companies that seemed so cold in response, seemed inconvenienced by any questions or just a pure money grab that I couldn't proceed with. Trust your gut and look at the other reviews here. I truly don't wish anyone has to do this but if you do, find peace in knowing this team is absolutely kind and compassionate. Love. read more

Just like everyone else here, it's taken me awhile to get around to this review. My 11 1/2 year old puppy very suddenly showed lethal symptoms of right-sided heart failure with ascites, pericardial effusion and metastatic tumors in his lungs. This took him down within 2 short weeks. To keep this long story short, the abrupt nature of my dog's health left me an absolute wreck, but I knew I always wanted to have an at-home euthanasia when the time came. I got in contact with Imani over text message to get it started. Imani was very kind and nurturing towards me. I know Dr. Marchi and his team speak with grieving and scared people all day long. Even so, I still felt that I was sincerely being listened to, and that Imani wanted to walk me through the whole process slowly, answering any me every question I had, even after my dog had passed. Setting up the appointment was quick and easy, and the paperwork I needed to look at was thankfully minimal. The next day, Dr. Marchi arrived at my house. At first, I thought it was odd that I was going to be loading my baby into the back of a sub-compact SUV, but the way he had it set up, any animal would be secure during transport. Dr. Marchi is a softly-spoken guy, which could be off-putting for some people who might be expecting to receive a lot of comfort or conversation. For me, the quiet presence is just what I needed. We were allotted about 2 hours for the entire appointment, but he didn't rush me along. I had my some of my family with me, we were feeding him a couple of hamburgers, and then the time came. He explained exactly what he was going to do, what to expect, and let me decide when to administer the injections. Obviously, this part was devastating for me, and even now over a month later, I'm still distraught thinking back on it. But, it was the gentlest way we could send him off. Surrounded by his family on his comfy bed, and feeling our love in his final moments. After he had passed, my dad lifted him and placed him onto the gurney Dr. Marchi had, and he was completely secured. After he was loaded into the car, we stayed outside to share a few words. I asked Dr. Marchi if he felt a sense of fulfillment with this sort of procedure he does. He said something along the lines of: Yes, and that he takes a lot of comfort in knowing that he could help assist both owners and their pets pass through a moment like this as gently as possible. I believe he said he was an EMT before this (or maybe he was an emergency vet; either way, high-stress and very fast-paced jobs) and that he has seen a lot of pain families go through. It makes him happy that he could make some experiences a little less painful. I really appreciated hearing him say all of that, so I wanted to share. Dr. Marchi is awesome. Thank you, and Imani, for everything. I will be recommending this at-home service to anyone who is seeking out something like this for their pet. Oh, and one final note: Definitely make the payment straight away when he arrives. It would be painful to wait until after. read more

I had saved Dr. Marchi's information over a year ago until it recently came time to make that dreaded decision to help my 15 yr old lab Maisey over the Rainbow Bridge. It is one of the most difficult things we'll ever have to go through. Kiana was very courteous and helpful by text messages during the planning so that all of the details were taken care of when the final day came. I was given a window between 5-7 pm on Sunday afternoon and Dr. Marchi arrived at exactly 5:00 pm. He was very comforting and empathetic; we sat on the floor petting Maisey for a few minutes and Dr. Marchi asked questions about Maisey and our 14 years together. He explained the process ahead of time so I would know what to expect and I was encouraged to ask questions or take as much time as I needed before we started the process. Within minutes my Maisey was peacefully across the Rainbow Bridge to re-join her brother. From the arrival time the entire process took about 25-30 minutes. This was my first home euthanasia experience but it won't be my last. It was truly the most comforting way to honor my family member - peacefully lying on her own dog bed, in her own home, with her owner of 14 years by her side after some steak and a vanilla ice cream treat. Thank you Dr. Marchi and staff for the service you provided. For those reading this, pet owners truly are special people and I empathize and understand what a difficult thing you are going through.

Our Leo came into our family July of 2011. He has been more than a pet to us. 5/2/25 was one of most painful day in my life. Every second & every minute on that day was filled with sadness & sorrow.

I was raised on a farm and I've had many animals throughout my life. We had large animal vets and small animal vets. I have had a whole myriad of experiences. I am so impressed with Dr. Marchi and his team. We had to put down my daughter's dog. It was 5 pounds and dying of cancer. Dr. Marchi's partner showed up. She was absolutely lovely. We were heartbroken and so sad that we had to put our little dog down. She was comforting and sweet and kind as well as reassuring. We have done this before with other services and Dr. Marchi's team is by far the best that we have had in this very difficult time. I recently recommended Dr. Marchie to my friend Joel to put his cat down and he said it was incredible as well. Thank you for having such a wonderful service and being so kind and compassionate.

Home euthanasia for my dog, Willow, was not what I thought or expected it to be. I chose Dr. Marchi because of all of the great reviews. Friends and family had shared their home euthanasia experience with me and it was nothing like mine. They did use other vets, not Dr. Marchi. Maybe he had to rush to be somewhere after our appointment, I don't know. The best way to describe it was it felt like a Notary arrived for signatures. Very impersonal, matter of fact, let's get this done and I'll be on my way... As he walked into our house I introduced him to our 2 dogs. He immediately sat on the coffee table and opened his briefcase. I saw containers in there and thought oh that's nice, he's going to give them some treats. No, instead, he filled a syringe with blue liquid. It really surprised me. We had not said anything other than introductions. I started to tell him about Willow, the abuse and horrible life she had before we adopted her. He literally cut me off and asked where did we want her to be. I said that we wanted her in her bed. My husband and I helped her off the couch and as we were trying to make her comfortable in her dog bed (he had been here less than 10 minutes, which included us paying him) he asked if I wanted the sedative through an IV or a needle under her skin. He was explaining the difference, but honestly, I was just thinking about the cheeseburger in the refrigerator that I planned to give her for her last treat. I laid down with Willow and right away Dr. Marchi put a tourniquet on her leg and inserted the IV. When I looked back and saw it, I said, "I have more time with her, right? " I didn't realize he actually started the sedative. He said, "Not really, I have to give her the euthanasia medicine before this wears off." What?!! I had just laid down with her, not even for 1 minute. I assumed I would have time with her before she was gone. I wanted to talk to her, hold her and look into her eyes. I didn't get that. He immediately walked out to his car and returned with the gurney. He asked us to assist him and we carried her to the back of his car. That was it. I think I was in a state of shock because it all happened so fast. I followed his lead and didn't speak up, which I deeply regret. I did read the euthanasia procedure prior on their website so I was aware of what to expect. I scheduled home euthanasia assuming we would celebrate her life a little bit before ending it. RIP my precious girl. You were so incredibly loved and deserved so much more on your last day. read more

THey are the most compassionate people. Our 14 year old Havanese, Nikki, was the best companion you could ever hope for. Her health was declining for three years and we took her to three different vets for help, but Nikki was not able to be helped any longer.

I am so sorry that you are in this position of finding the best way to say goodbye to your pet. We helped our 14.5 year old Skippy cross the rainbow bridge a week ago with Dr Nguyen, and we could not have been more pleased. We wanted to make an appointment a week out so our daughter could come home and be with us. Unlike another veterinarian we called who said we had to call 1-2 days in advance, we were able to schedule an appointment with a two hour window. This worked best for us. All communication was done by email because it was too difficult for me to talk. Val was very responsive and very kind. Just from the email interaction with Val, she set the stage and I knew we were in good hands. We were sobbing when Dr Nguyen arrived, but she has a very calming affect which made us all feel very at ease. She made sure we were ready and then had me hold Skippy. We had a Starbucks pup cup ready for him so that he wouldn't feel the first injection to make him feel sleepy. Dr Nguyen was so gentle and Skippy was so engaged with his pup cup that he didn't seem to feel a thing. He started snoring in my arms immediately. Dr Nguyễn left the room to give us a minute. We all said our final goodbyes telling Skippy that he was a good boy and that we loved him and thanked him for loving us. Dr Nguyen came back in and asked if we were ready for the second injection. We were so thankful to be with Skippy to hear him take his final breath. Dr Nguyen took a paw print and then wrapped him up in a blanket and took him. A week later, we received a call from the aftercare service they use (Thank you to West Coast Memorial Services!) that Skippy was ready to come home. I highly recommend this service- the entire process could not have been smoother. read more

This past Friday my dad had his goldendoodle put down. He was 13 years old and such a great dog. My dad and his wife got him when he was a puppy. My dad's wife passed two years ago so that made the decision to put their dog down far harder. The one thing my dad knew was he really wanted to do this at home. I didn't even know that was an option. He called around numerous places and they were all much more expensive than Dr Marchi. Dr. Marchi arrived within the time frame he gave my dad. It was mostly family in attendance at my dad's house with the exception of the local mailman. That's how much everyone loved my dad's dog. Even the local mailman showed up. Dr. Marchi was very soft spoken and comforting to everyone. He explained the process and really made everyone feel that everything was going to be ok. I really do feel that his way of being so professional and soft spoken really helped my dad through the process. The entire process went as well as could be expected. My dad's dog passed peacefully with family around. This was absolutely the way to do things. This is never an easy thing for anyone but this was by far the most peaceful way I've seen a pet pass away. I really do feel that this is the best way to have your pet put down if you can afford it. Like I said, he's very reasonable compared to other people that do these in home services but it's still pricier than going to a vet. No family pet should pass away stressed out in a vet's sterile office. read more

I communicated with Dr. Marchi the day before I had to say goodbye to my little cat Natalie. The text responses came very soon and explained the information for at home euthanasia well, and I was able to schedule an appointment for next day, and a time window for arrival was agreed upon. The forms are easily sent and filled out over email but information can also be provided over the phone. The next morning, after a follow up email that he would arrive in 40 min., the Dr. arrived promptly, and sat down and gently and compassionately explained the procedure to end Natalie's suffering. He had a warm, and empathetic manner which helped put us at ease. He gave us ample time to say goodbyes and more before and after the sedative, before giving the final medication. We were never hurried, and he helped minimize the pain of losing my brave, 12 year old kitty daughter. Thank you, Dr. Marchi. The teacher discount and the free paw print are very much appreciated too. read more

It has definitely taken me almost 2 months to make this review. Even writing is a little bit difficult, but I do wanna say book with them if you need to put your pet down for their forever sleep. The woman on the phone that helped me make my appointment was so kind and accommodating and didn't rush me off the phone When I was struggling to get my words out through my crying. When the doctor came he spoke very softly and did not rush me at all, he allowed me ample time with my beloved pet. He informed me every step of the way. I would recommend if you're going to do this do it later in the day so you're one of the last appointments that way you're not feeling rushed if he needs to leave to another appointment, my appointment was his last of the evening I believe. read more

Nobody ever wants to go through this but the staff were very kind and made me feel comfortable. They explained the process to me in a gentle way. They were available the day my baby was ready to cross the rainbow bridge. They kept me updated with the vet's estimated time of arrival. The vet (shame that I forget her name) was very calm, kind and made my husband and I very relaxed. She took her time with us, she explained everything she was doing, she asked before advancing to the next steps. I would say the only awkward moment was by dog had passed, the vet confirmed her death, and then asked for payment. She didn't ask for payment immediately after but honestly I don't know if there is a better way to collect payment but maybe that could be explored or maybe it was intentional to take my mind away from the grief for a moment. When we picked up my baby's remains they had her wrapped (we purchased an urn through a different company) beautifully with some lavender and a military type dog tag they said traveled with her from her time of death through the cremation. Overall it was a good experience given the circumstances. If I ever need their services again I would definitely do it. read more

Dr. Nguyen helped me and my dog of 14.5 years. Mine and my wife's primary concern was our twin daughters (as ut should be) who have never known a home without Rusty. My wife had them gone by the time Dr. Nguyen arrived. I like to make my reviews fair, sharing the good and the bad. So the bad: Nothing, Dr. Nguyen was amazing. The good: Dr. Nguyen was very thorough, but very human in describing all aspects of the procedure. Making sure I wasn't surprised by anything, but not clinical, compassionate about me losing my dog who had been with me so long. But of special note, my daughters' loss, their emotions were my primary concern. But within our conversation, Dr. Nguyen let me have some needed focus on my grieving and all Rusty added to my life. I'm very grateful to her. read more

Unfortunately, I had to use the services of Dr. Marchi for my little dog. I've never had to go through this with a dog. The one thing I knew was that I didn't want to take him to the vet because he was always scared there. A friend recommended Dr. Marchi. He showed up and made one of the most difficult times I've ever gone through, much more palpable. He was so professional, understanding, and compassionate throughout the entire process. I never felt rushed or uncomfortable the entire time. If you ever have to go through this, firstly, I'm so sorry, but secondly - I couldn't recommend Dr. Marchi and his services more! He'll definitely make this process just a bit easier. read more

Our Leo came into our lives July of 2011. He has been more than a pet to us. 5/2/25 was one of most painful day in our lives. Every second & every minute on that day was filled with sadness & sorrow. With that said, we are so grateful with everyone that we have come to contact at Dr. Marchi. Val, thank you for your soothing voice and kindness over the phone with booking the most difficult appointment. Dr. Nguyen, thank you for your thoughtfulness and willingness to share your own experiences to ease our pains, not to mention your expertise and professionalism. Amber, thank you for your hug and kindness when you brought our baby home. Our baby has gone to the Rainbow Bridge, he is free of pain. We can't thank our dear Leo enough for bringing us so much joy, happiness & laughters on this Earth. We know he is doing just the same up in heaven. Grateful for Dr. Marchi's team for helping us to get our beloved up to the peacefully & graciously. Thank you from our whole family. read more

I definitely did not have the same positive experience as the other reviewers. My appointment was at 2pm and Dr.Hall arrived at 3pm. It would have been nice to know ahead of time if they were not going to make it at 2. When Dr. Hall arrived, she was not friendly at all. No smile and just a blank stare. She walked in and helped herself to a seat. Not a word was spoken and no explanation was given on how the process would be like. I had to ask how it works. It was a cold and quick response. I'm going to sedate the cat and then give the second injection. There really was no compassion whatsoever. I asked for time alone and it felt like i was burdening her with that request. She only gave me five minutes because the sedation wears off. The whole experience was not like how the other reviewers posted. Everything was done in about 15 minutes. I should've scheduled with Hearts and Halos:( read more
