We suddenly lost our 5yr old cat "Sugar Plum" on 10/1/2019. We didn't know she was ill. I called…read morePaws & Remember, spoke with a lady, and she gave me: prices of services, etc. good directions on how to get there and she was compassionate. I asked to speak with Nikki, who had previously worked at "Suburban Pet Crematorium". Nikki is a very kind and compassionate lady and she tends to the dead pets with dignity and individually. I chose to get "Sugar Plum" cremated for $145. which included: her ashes in a velvet bag, 2 name cards, a certificate, a memory book, flower seeds and the "Rainbow Bridge Poem". She was ready to be picked up the same day. Mike called me to pick her up and he was friendly. I highly recommend this place for people with fur babies.

My daughter's beloved kitty passed away, and she was devastated. Her veterinarian recommended…read moreFaithful Companion, and my daughter drove there herself. They were very kind and compassionate. When my daughter left, she broke down crying in the parking lot. A very kind male employee came up to her car to check on her, which meant so much to me, because I wasn't able to be there with her. They also gave her multiple options to personalize her purchase, including the paw print, and that's so comforting to have, forever. Faithful Companion returned her kitty to her (directly to her vet) quickly, and it meant a lot. They helped us get through a very difficult time. I highly recommend them for anyone within driving distance (my daughter drove quite some way to get there, and it was worth it).

When we arrived to drop her off, it was very close to their closing time, yet not once did we feel rushed or pressured. The staff waited for us with patience and kindness, guiding us calmly through the process and giving us the space to say our farewells. The pickup was handled with the same warmth and dignity. Every person we met here was helpful, polite, friendly, and genuinely caring--people who clearly have a passion for honoring our beloved pets. Knowing Maow was treated with such respect brought us comfort in our grief. We cannot thank them enough and wholeheartedly recommend Faithful Companion to anyone facing this difficult goodbye.

We all knew it was time for our 15 year old baby girl to cross the Rainbow Bridge, including her,…read morebut she needed help crossing the bridge. She always hated the vet, and I shuddered at the thought of going to the vet's impersonal office - I had visions of metal tables, all business, and a horrid pit in my stomach for the rest of my life. Our family decided that in home compassionate euthanasia was how we wanted to handle things. Unfortunately, it took several calls over about a 7 hour span to our vet to try to get a recommendation, as I did NOT want to go pot luck on something like this. The place they suggested was lovely, but couldn't come until the following evening. During that time, our beautiful fur baby deteriorated significantly. I couldn't bear the thought of her suffering. My sister made some calls to get recommendations, and Dr. Fraser from In-Home Pet Loss came recommended from three independent sources. He was able to get to us within a few hours. He explained every single thing that he did. He was gentle. He was caring. He was completely respectful of all of us. We kept her in her bed, which truly was her happy place, and we were able to hold her, stroke her, and talk to her the entire time. It was as dignified and peaceful as possible. While we all knew it was time, none of us wanted to say goodbye, but Dr. Fraser helped guide us through the process. He provided us paw prints for our memories, and when everything was over, he carried her out in her bed, (which he then returned to us) which was much more comforting than I could have expected. Thank you, Dr. Fraser, for helping us through truly one of the most heartbreaking things we have been through.

The vet who came, sorry I don't remember her name, was nothing short of amazing! Her words assured us we were doing the right thing. "You are giving Nina the most difficult gift that you have ever given." When it came time for my youngest son to say goodbye to his beloved Ryker, we didn't hesitate to call Gentle Farewell. Unfortunately, we did not have the same comforting experience. Dr. Parker was not unkind, but we certainly didn't connect with her glowing testimonials on the website. All 5 of us present, found her to be competent, but clinical and a bit rushed. Maybe she was having a bad day, but we certainly weren't left with the same feeling of empathy as the first experience.
