Faith is the most compassionate soul. She made this transition as beautiful as it could be. She made me feel assured I was making the right decision for Riley who lived an incredible 15.5 yrs. Faith made Riley, my younger pup Poppy and me comfortable with the whole process. I can't recommend Faith enough and experiencing this at home versus at an office. This is the most compassionate experience you can have for everyone involved! read more

My wife and I used Faith to help us put our cat Olivia to sleep. Faith was able to come on the same day we contacted her and help our sweet cat to not suffer anymore. She was awesome and very kind. She gave us time and didn't rush things. I would highly recommend Faith if you need to put a pet to sleep. read more

Our 7 year old cat's kidney failure kept getting worse despite regular fluids and medications. She stopped eating and we knew it was time to out her down, but it was a Sunday morning. Faith came out early afternoon and gently put her to sleep while my wife held her in her lap. Faith was professional, compassionate and caring. Thank you Faith read more

My wife and I recently had Faith put our beloved cat to sleep who was suffering from congestive heart failure. She came within several hours of being called. We are very pleased with the compassionate and caring service she provided. We also opted for a personal cremation and appreciate the quality and thoughtfulness of that service. Faith made a difficult situation easy to navigate. We highly recommend Faith and the cremation service. read more

Faith just left the house after helping a 4th companion of ours transition in the most kind, peaceful and humane way possible. After the first time I used her service, I committed to never letting another companion animal transition in a vet office. Allowing them the dignity of dying in their home is absolutely the most humane way. Faith is so good, so kind, so full of compassion. I encourage anyone to take advantage of her service. And not that it really matters, but I'm pretty sure that the cost of using her is less than the cost of euthanasia in a vet office. But in the end, I think that what matters is that you're choosing the most loving and humane way to say goodbye to your companion animal. And you're contributing to a truly good person's livelihood. read more

It's been a little bit over a month since Dr. Albright came to our home and helped us put our Shorty to sleep. I know she does this all the time, but she showed nothing but empathy for what we were going through. The whole process took 15-20 minutes tops. She never rushed us and always spoke in a soothing tone. She helped Shorty get comfortable and explained everything she was doing. When it was done, she took the utmost care of Shorty and wrapped him up tight in one of his blankets (like swaddling a baby). I realized in my grief, I didn't ask her anything about the cremation, but by the time I contacted her a couple of days afterwards, she had everything squared away and we received his ashes and urn 1-1/2 weeks later on Christmas eve. We've done euthanasia for our dogs at the vet's office and at home. The cost is more than what it would be at the vet's office, but for our family, we prefer that our dogs are in their home, surrounded by family. If you're looking at reviews for at-home euthanasia, I'm sorry for what you're going through. Even as I write this review, I have tears recalling saying our goodbyes to our boy. But know that Dr. Albright will help your pet in their journey to Rainbow Bridge. I highly recommend her services. read more

Faith was very compassionate, gentle and supportive in her efforts to put our dear old family cat to her rest. Highly recommended!

We have used Faith twice to put our dogs to sleep and I highly recommend her. She is so compassionate, listens to your needs and makes the entire process comfortable for all involved. read more

Dr. Albright was responsive, kind, compassionate, and helped us navigate a very difficult situation with our beloved pet. She treated us with respect and gave us, and our pet, much needed space and dignity. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Plus, she has a beautiful animal sanctuary in the hills, and graciously accepted our donation of our pets beds, toys, food, etc. It truly completed the circle, and we are forever grateful. read more

So i know if you're reading this, the situation you are in sucks and is hard, but stay strong. My dog of almost 14 years passed 2 days before Christmas and finding someone to come over was the most difficult, stressful, frustrating and hurtful part of going through with the process. I'm big on energy and I wouldn't want just anyone to enter my home, and my dog was always a lot more at ease with females. After all of the frustration to find someone or get a response, I kind of just stopped looking and shed a few tears and prayed that the right person would come along. The trippiest thing happened, I got a text response from Dr Albright. Dr Albright had a nice soothing, comforting energy to her that helped a lot. Her kind words and explanation of what was happening put us at ease and able to feel peace during the process. We were able to spend time with my boy with privacy and a good amount of unrushed time. She was able to come the same day which was a crazy feeling knowing that it was going to happen so quick but it was the best to happen because I only wanted for my boy to have great quality of life and to feel as little pain as possible his entire time on earth with me. I recommend Dr Albrights services and want to thank her for helping the transition go smoothly, painless and peacefully for my dog. I wish you the best with the grieving process, enjoy all the beautiful memories and feel blessed to have had your baby add their love to your life. It's an emotion rollercoaster but you got it and are making the right decision. read more

Faith was so thoughtful, kind, sympathetic & very capable in our time of need. She even sent us a beautiful card honoring the loss of our sweet little dog a couple weeks later. I really appreciated that. She's a wonderful choice for a tough job. read more

Horrible experience with Faith Albright DVM. I would give negative stars. Long story short, we had an appointment with her on February 12th, 2026 at 8 PM for home euthanasia of our beloved 15 year old dog. She never showed for the appointment. No call, no text, nothing. Our calls and texts to her went unanswered. The next morning, she texted my husband and apologized for "dropping the ball". This is not something you drop the ball on. This was our family member. She failed my dog and my family at a most difficult time. Cruel beyond belief. No animal or family deserves this type of treatment. read more

Somone, somewhere, said on this site: If you are looking at these reviews, I am so sorry for the pain you feel now. I understand that pain. Dr. Faith (which is what we call her) was responsive, quick and, after a significant turn for the worse in our boy Lucky, able to adjust her schedule with ease. And this on a holiday weekend. She was kind, strong, patient, caring and clear. What a profound service she provides and what grace she carries with her as you grieve. I only have the highest praise and, again, I am so sorry that you are facing this difficult and painful time. We cannot highly recommend Dr. Faith more. read more

She helped my dog a few years ago and I am just now getting to this review. Assisting your dog pass over the Rainbow Bridge surrounded by family in his own home is always better than a vet office and she was able to deliver that experience. As bad as the day was, it was made better because of her help and compassion. read more

Comforting and understanding, Faith was the perfect person to help us bring Morris to a calm and pain-free final resting place. She took her time, let us grieve together and nothing seemed unnatural or forced. Thank you Faith. read more

Faith was a great guide in helping our beloved dog get peace. I would very highly recommend her services!

We recently put down our beloved border collie of fourteen years. As difficult and painful decision this was, choosing Dr. Albright to do the task was the best choice we made. As soon as she entered our house her energy was so soothing and caring. She knelt down next to our dog, examined him briefly, and assured us it was Smokey's time. Dr. Albright explained what was involved in the process, and that our dog would not feel any pain or distress. The transition went smoothly and peaceful. I can't thank Faith enough for helping us through this stressful time. If you're faced with this decision, I highly recommend her... read more

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Faith, she is truly amazing. Many years ago, we had to put out beloved dog down and did it in a Veterinary's office. Our dog was old, sick and seemed very scared. Years later, when we got to this point again, we decided that the comfort of our home was the best way to go for our pet. My sister recommended Faith to us a couple of years ago and we were so happy with her. This is now the second visit that Faith has made to our home in Oakland to help us with our beloved pets. Her approach is gentle, her voice is so soothing, it's clear that she is an animal lover. The way she speaks to your pet is sweet and calming. She explains the process clearly & although the reason for the visit is heartbreaking, she's there to help. I wish I could give her 10 stars. Her "bedside manner" is second to none. Not just for the pet, but for the pet's parents. Her job is no joke & she handles it with style & grace. Thank you Faith. read more

Today Dr Albright came to my home to do an at-home euthanasia for my best friend and beloved girl, Lucky. I had called several at home euthanasia vets and she was the one who came through on short notice. My Lucky girl was suffering after her kidneys failed starting this past Thursday. The days following at the ER vet were excruciating. I'll share that over my life, this was the fourth at home euthanasia I've done for my pets over the last 15 or so years, and Dr Albright was the absolute best. So compassionate, so empathetic, and so good at bringing easy and much needed peace to my dog. Thank you, Dr. Albright. I'm grateful for you today. read more

We got a recommendation from our friend who works at a veterinarian. Very glad we read the reviews and picked Faith. Today was the absolute saddest day for us but Faith really made it peaceful and was a true professional. 10/10 and worth every penny. RIP Scar read more

This week Faith helped my loved beyond all measure pit bull transition after his seven year old life was cut short due to cancer. In a year of difficult decisions the final one I made to transition at home concluded with him surrounded by love under Faith's compassionate care. We took our time. From tears to peace at the end. As people ask how am I doing, I talk about Faith. She made all the difference. read more

Thank you, Dr. Albright, for taking my call after hours and scheduling us for the very next morning. Our sweet baby was declining quickly when I called, and I'm truly grateful we found you when we did. You were compassionate, grounded, perceptive, and gentle, and this put us at ease and allowed us to have the beautiful experience of saying goodbye as our pup rested serenely in my arms. Letting our little Lucy go was unimaginably painful, but I'm grateful that we could give her a peaceful transition at home, with your assistance. read more

Dexter, our 11 year old lab mix wasn't just a good boy - he was the best boy. He was battling bladder cancer and we told ourselves that as long as he had a good quality of life we would do whatever it took to keep him happy and comfortable. After six months and until just recently we were able to give him just that. When it became apparent that Dex was no longer enjoying his life we made the gut wrenching decision no pets guardian wants to make. My sister had unfortunately recently needed Dr. Albrights help with her doodle and thankfully referred us. Dr. Albright was compassionate, empathetic and professional which made going through an extremely difficult time less painful and the grieving process easier to cope with. It is obvious the Dr. Albright is extremely passionate about helping animals and I highly recommend her if you are facing your pets need for end of life care. read more

While I don't believe that everything happens for a reason, I do believe in divine timing. Coming across Faith's profile during one of our darkest weeks was a blessing in disguise, and I can't have imagined a more graceful & loving way to say goodbye to our 15 year old pup. Faith made us feel at home with her, and as comfortable as we could hope to be with Maxine's safe and sound passing. She was compassionate & communicative throughout the whole process and, for that impossibly hard time she spent with us at our home saying our goodbyes, she felt like family. We can't recommend Faith's services enough and wish everyone reading this review all of the peace & love in their final days with their fur-mates. We miss you big time, M. ~Shannon & Corey read more

Dr. Faith Albright was such a gift to us during one of the hardest days of our lives. She came to our home to help us say goodbye to our sweet Stella Rose, and her presence was calming, kind, and full of grace. She treated Stella with such love and dignity, and made an incredibly painful moment feel peaceful. We're so grateful for her care and compassion. read more

Faith is absolutely amazing!. I was faced with the difficult decision to put my Chewie down, and was debating on letting him go naturally or with assistance. Well I decided assistance would be better and I called Faith. I called early in the morning, she came at 1:30 and talked me through the whole process. She was very empathetic to what I was dealing with, I was a wreck, but with soothing conversation and caring hands she did what was needed and my Chewie went peacefully. I'm tearing up right now cause I'm still processing that he's not here anymore. It's been almost two months since this has happened, and it's still a struggle. But I want to say thank you Faith for everything you did, everything you said, and especially for the care you showed Chewie in his last moments with me. I appreciate you. read more

Faith came to our home today to assist our beautiful Lola crossover the rainbow bridge. It was so peaceful and Larry and I were able to be part of her experience. Oh how we love our Lola forever and she honored our wishes. Thank you to Melissa from our veterinarians office giving me the referral as well as others too. Thank heaven for these earthly angels. Our veterinarian from San Rafael Animal Hospital and staff were always so kind to our babygirl. Love Carol and Larry Long Novato Ca. read more

Dr. Faith Albright was the angel I didn't know I needed. After receiving a metastatic liver cancer diagnosis, my almost 11 y/o GSD's quality of life was declining faster than I expected. Faith was able to come to my home within less than 24 hours. I'll second all the other rave reviews that Faith is so compassionate and truly a kind individual. She made such a hard day a beautiful and peaceful one. Thank you so much. read more

Dr.Albright assisted my loving siamese Coco in moving on to the next realm. The experience was as smooth as something like this can be. We first booked appointment by calling her number which she answered herself on first call. My baby was in a lot of pain and Dr. Albright was able to perform procedure same day in our home. She arrived on time, administered a sedative via a painless injection. When Coco was peacefully asleep she started an IV and gave the final injection. Our baby moved into the next world or her next reincarnation without pain thankful to Dr.Albright. The entire process took 30 minutes and we were given as long as we needed to say our "Good byes" and "See you soon". She was empathetic, assertive, competent, kind and genuine. She made Coco feel at ease and kept us engaged without being overly intrusive but asking all the right questions and providing support. She swaddled our Coco in a baby blanket and took her to be cremated. The fee was very reasonable for a home euthanizing and private cremation service. I hope you don't ever need to find a vet to help your baby move on but if you do... I would look no further. Dr. Albright has a gift and we will be forever thankful. read more

Truly cannot recommend Dr. Albright enough.

Oscar was more than my dog, he was the center of my life and my best friend. I would 100% recommend Dr. Albright to anyone I know for at-home euthanasia. Thank you Faith for helping Oscar leave this realm so peacefully. We are forever grateful. I can't sing the praises of Dr. Faith Albright enough. My senior pug, Oscar, took a turn for the worse quickly and our original vet didn't have time for a house call in the coming days, so she recommended Dr. Albright, who was a literal godsend. I was an emotional wreck, frantically calling around on a Friday to plan for his euthanasia that following Monday and Faith was able to fit us into her schedule. Faith was responsive and empathetic. She arrived on Monday like an angel. She walked us through the process, answered questions, and was the thoughtful calming presence we all needed. Even as she was departing our home she was so comforting. Later that week we received the sweetest hand written card from Dr. Albright that brought us to tears, but reaffirmed that we did what was best for Oscar. read more

Bandit--the doggie love of my life-- had declined rapidly and I found Dr. Albright. She was very responsive and we scheduled a same day appointment for Bandit to cross . Dr. Albright was compassionate on the phone but when she arrived, her compassion and bedside manners were exemplary. She took time to get to know us and of course Bandit. She never once pressured us and encouraged us to take our time. She then explained the process. Bandit's ashes were back home with us in 1 week (usually it takes a few weeks). Thank you Dr. Albright for being you! read more

Dr. Albright was above and beyond any expectations that we had. She was sweet, understanding, she gave us space to mourn and cry. She was kind and loving to our precious Cleo. Cleo barely felt the first prick, and she was already happily dozing when the second, final injection came. To have a total stranger come into your house at one of the most vulnerable times of your life seems such a violation, an intrusion. You are naked, defenseless, hurting. But Dr. Albright had the ability and compassion, the kindness to make us feel comforted and reassured we did the right thing. Nothing felt rushed or impersonal. She was so sweet to Cleo, she helped us to feel better about the whole thing and made this sad day more bearable. Cleo left this world in peace, surrounded by love, happily, after eating delicious treats and with the music we chose for her last moments. Thanks so much, Dr. Albright. You made a huge difference. read more

On the Easter Sunday of 4/4/2021, our family dog named "Gucci," that ruled over 3 different households (my GF & mine, her sister & her husband's, and GF's parents') over 18 years had a seizure that we, in our heart of hearts, knew he wasn't coming back from. After an emergency vet visit the night of the seizure, and the following visit to Gucci's primary vet visit the day after, we knew we had to make the most difficult decision that pet owners had to make. We got Ms. Albright's contact info from the list of recommended folks that know how to deal with the worst of times as pet owners, and albeit brief, we appreciated every moment she was with us for the most difficult time of having Gucci in our lives. She was beyond respectful of what we were going through, showed us so much patience, and took our guy just the way we wanted him to. And in less than 2 weeks of time, he came back home. We are still grieving, but we feel better to have something of him now than before. read more

Earlier this week we said good bye to our beloved family member Corky who's been with us for 14 years. It's an unthinkable decision and pain. He was the best dog anyone could ever have. I found Dr. Faith Albright and she was miraculously available the next day. When you make this decision, you cannot wait days or even a week. She was prompt and communicative. She was so sweet to Corky and to our whole family who gathered. She did everything in the way we asked and what was best for us. She was patient and empathetic. As hard as it is for me to remember Corky's lifeless body, it brings me peace knowing he was so calm, didn't have to be driven or picked up. He stayed comfortable in his bed and left in it. Thank you so much for your compassion and professionalism. Your card made us all so emotional tonight. Thank you. When the difficult time comes, don't look any further. read more

This review is overdue, we had to say goodbye to our 14 year old pittie Brody in August of 2023, we found Dr. Albright and I'm so glad we did. Dr. Albright was kind, patient, and made us and Brody feel comfortable during a very sad time. After our previous dog had passed away unexpectedly as the result of an autoimmune disease at home without support, we knew we wanted Brody's passing to be more peaceful, and with Dr. Albright it was peaceful and gentle. We were able to pet him, recount favorite memories, and let Brody know we loved him. Afterwards Dr. Albright handled his cremation and we were sent a lovely card, paw print, and the wooden urn we selected. I would recommend Dr. Albright to any family facing the difficult decision to say goodbye to a pet. read more

I couldn't of been more happy with the service I was provided for me and my family when my dog Fufu got sick and I need help with his passing, she arrived and walked through the process and what was to be expected she made our most emotional day feel comfortable and love for our animal. She was extremely kind and helped us speak of his character and his most memorable memories. we couldn't have asked for anyone better help us through this moment! RIP FUFU read more

Incredibly compassionate and gentle. Faith's bedside manner is unobtrusive, kind, and, of course, gentle.

I want to thank Dr. Faith Albright for her help and tremendous compassion during the process of putting my baby girl Haukea to rest. It was a difficult time for my ohana, as this was the last of two of our treasured fur babies raised with my wife, who recently passed as well. It was a so hard to make the decision of letting my puppy go be with her mama, but Dr. Faith lived up to her name and comforted me before and after with her kind words and caring manner. I called several others before deciding on her services, and it was the best decision I could have made! Others felt very mechanical and made me feel like it was business as usual and unimportant. Dr Faith is the only person you will ever need to help your puppy cross the rainbow bridge. In her words, take good care of your heart. Malama Pono KK. We miss you so much. Thank you for the memories. read more
