Forever Companion This was one of the hardest days of my life. Dr. Heather was incredibly down to earth, compassionate, and professional. She guided us through the process with such calm and grace, making a painful goodbye feel peaceful and even beautiful. Her thoughtful words and gentle presence meant more than I can express and truly comforted this heartbroken dog lover. I will always be grateful for the care and dignity she gave my beloved companion. Thank you Dr. Heather read more

When the time came to make that difficult decision for our sweet dog, I did some research and found Forever Companion. We were absolutely not going to have our dog's last memory be the inside of a vet clinic. I read their reviews and was impressed so we made an appointment. To say our expectations were exceeded is a significant understatement. The incredibly kind owners of Forever Companion made the experience respectful and caring. Words can't fully capture how supportive they were. Their attention to detail, even the smallest seemingly insignificant matter, shows how much they care for animals. Without question they have earned us as customers for life. Thank you Elisa and Crystal. You made the unbearable... bearable... Bless you both! read more

They were there when we needed someone most. Quick response. Kind and compassionate. Highly recommend.

When your pets are family members like ours are, it's so hard to say goodbye even when you know that they are suffering. Dr Heather & Crystal were so empathetic: before, during and after. It was so much better for our baby girl to be surrounded by all the people who loved her in a familiar environment. She hated going to the vet as a general rule. They treated our girl as if she was their own. I cannot praise them enough and recommend them if you ever need their services. read more

We had to say goodbye to our beloved dog, Tungsten. Dr. Elisa and Crystal were absolutely amazing. They are the sweetest, most compassionate people you'll ever meet.

We've been so sad but know we did the very best we could for our boy. read more

The decision to say goodbye to our beloved dog Harley was one of the most heartbreaking we've ever had to make. She was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma and was in so much pain that we knew it was time to let her go. We wanted her last moments to be at home, surrounded by the people she loved, and Forever Companion made that possible with a level of grace and kindness we will never forget.Booking the appointment was simple and gentle, even through our tears. When Dr. Heather arrived, she allowed us all the time we needed. She sat with us, listened to our stories about Harley, and made sure we were truly ready for every step of the process. Her compassion and patience were a comfort in our darkest moments.When Harley passed, Dr. Heather was still there, quietly giving us space to have our last moments with her. As she helped carry Harley to her car, she handled her with such dignity and care, preparing a special area for her for the journey to be cremated.The care and kindness shown by Dr. Heather and Forever Companion will be something we are forever grateful for. They turned an unbearable day into a gentle farewell, and for that, we cannot thank them enough. read more

Dr. Heather was amazing during a very hard time. This service is a 10! Highly recommend.

I felt so rushed saying goodbye, they don't care, it's another day for them. I don't think I had more than 15 minutes with my dog that I've had for 16 years. I regret hiring them. Some shit box in their trunk is what people are hiring them for. My best friend, my whole entire life to, to regret my decision so much. And their awful excuse below of "well who else would you have gone with?". Terrible. read more

My sweet 12 year old pitbull was diagnosed with liver failure, cancer and pancreatitis. We did everything we could to keep her comfortable. We knew it was her time and was struggling with this decision. We found Forever Companion online and went through their online appointment for at home euthanasia and it was extremely easy. They listed everything from care to pricing without having to call. Once completed, we called to make sure everything was scheduled and their staff was so empathetic to our needs and extremely patient and answered any question we had. During the appointment they made sure our Nalah was comfortable as well as us. They didn't rush the process, they gave us as much time as we needed and they were very respectful. They wanted to hear about Nalah and it wasn't just a business transaction. It was one of the hardest days of my life, but Forever Companion made it easier knowing she was cared for in her last moments. I would highly recommend. read more

It was time to say goodbye to our family member (Spyra the Cat) of 15 years. Spyra hated car rides and hated to go to the vet. So we didn't want to do that to her one last time.

Every last detail was professionally and compassionately done. I highly recommend them. read more

We reached out to Forever Companion a few weeks ago for our beautiful sweet Great Pyrenees. As many have said, this is a call nobody ever wants to have to make. I reached out at 7 AM on a Saturday morning and received an answer immediately. Dr. Elisa and Crystal came to our house that day and treated our Willow Bear so gently and lovingly. I didn't want to take her to the vet and have her last memory there. This way she was able to have her last memory here at home. They were truly kind and compassionate to all of us. read more

It's always a hard decision to put your pet down. Dr. Elisa and Crystal arrived at my home and helped to make Jacks final time special. They gave him chocolate and treats. Afterwards, when it was time to leave they placed Jack in a memorial setting with flowers and a teddy bear. It was so sweet. I knew my boy was in good hands read more

Forever Companion made the difficult situation of letting go of a pet much less traumatic for us. We had not done in home euthanasia before, but I couldn't stand the thought of having to bring our senior cat into the vet as he neared the end of his battle with kidney failure. Being put in a carrier and going into the vet office is always stressful, and I just didn't want him to go through that. Forever Companion was very responsive and I liked that you can take care of the paperwork and payment ahead of time so you don't have to deal with it in the moment. I contacted them on a Friday evening and they were able to come next day on Saturday. Crystal and Elisa with both very kind and compassionate, and respectful of the situation and our emotions. They talked us through the process and brought blankets and all the necessary supplies. While losing a pet is never pleasant, I feel that our cat was comfortable and at ease being in a familiar space, being held by us. I would highly recommend Forever Companion for their services. read more

It's taken me a month to write this because having to say goodbye to my soul pet, Cassie has been one of the most heartbreaking things I've had to do. Having her since she was a tiny kitten, I fought to keep her comfortable for a year before her body started shutting down from kidney failure. Cassie was such a fighter and so inherently good, but her body began to fail her and I could see her pain growing. Samantha and Dr. Heather showed great compassion for our struggle, even as I grappled with feeling confident that I was making the right choice. They were very reassuring and offered resources to ease the difficult decision. I'm very grateful to have given my kitty peace at home as she passed away and for Dr. Heather's care of my baby. She was very gentle and amazingly accommodating as I fell apart in grief. I got to hold Cassie as she drifted away and I am so greatful that we were given this opportunity to say goodbye in a peaceful and loving way. Thank you read more

This is a service you never want to have to use, but I'll always be grateful that Dr Elisa and Crystal were there. Thanks to them, my sweet old man Buddy was able to pass peacefully in his home, in my arms, rather than in a cold scary vet office. They gave us all the time we needed with him, and when it was time for him to go they had a beautiful basket adorned with flowers and his name on a chalkboard. Even though we were crying and heartbroken, those small details really showed that they cared and didn't go unnoticed. Thank you Forever Companion for making a horrible situation just a little bit easier. read more

These ladies are professional, caring and empathetic. I highly recommend Forever Companion.

Im so sensitive when it comes to my pets, and people don't understand. "Just get a new one." Or "It's just an animal." But these woman understand that. I don't know how they do it, they are literally superhero's. For my cat and my dog (separate passing/different years) they made the most beautiful flower beds for them. My cat had a tiny bed made of craft flowers they decorated for her with a cute blanket. They gently placed her in it, it was like she was asleep. My dog who was 80 pounds had a special place in the back of their car. It had grass carpet, a teddy bear with her name on it, decorative flowers and such. Before the service they ask you if you would help carry your pet to the car or they can arrange themselves to do it no charge, they just need a notice in advance. My brothers assisted and they placed another cute blanket on my dog, she looked so peaceful. All these decorations come with the service mind you. They were so welcoming to my other dog as well. Even when he was trying to lick their faces. Of course they recommend if your other animals are not friendly to keep them secure. They even helped me make a clay paw print for my dog with my own clay. You can buy it in their shop but we thought to just do it ourselves. And despite that they offered their assistance. The process goes as, they give your pet a sort of sleep medicine, then they inject the shot. They listen to the heartbeat and gently let you know they've crossed over. This all took maybe 10 minutes, very calm. Our goodbyes took longer but they are understanding and give you the space. They respond almost immediately once you create your appointment. And are very timely. They will let you know if they are behind. When we asked them for our dogs ashes a couple weeks later they went out of their way to call on our behalf. These woman are truly special and so patient. Everything they do has care and love put into it. In every blanket, flower, and bed. They save your pet the anxiety and stress of going to the vet, and then driving them to the crematory yourself. I can not recommend their service enough. read more

Words cannot express how much positive impact Forever Companion made in the passing of our dear dog Abby. They asked questions and listened. We were given options and never once felt rushed. Elisa and Crystal are kind, loving, and compassionate. Abby passed with grace in the peace and comfort of her own home with her family. I can't recommend Forever Companion enough! Thank you ladies xox. read more

I could not express how grateful I am to have chosen Forever Companion to help during such a hard time. Although it was tough for me to even email them thinking they wouldn't respond. They responded within minutes. They really make the connection with your dog(s) and your family to help you during this hard time. On March 1, They arrived at our residence and they had so much respect. They calmly explained to us the process and what will be expected during it. Soon after they politely gave us alone time to mourn with our dog. They gave our dog a beautiful send-off and handled him very carefully. It was such a wholesome feeling having to see how gently they took care of my buddy Terry. All day my family and I talked about how professional they were during the final send-off. Thank You so much for your help and support. read more

Dr. Elisa and her assistant Crystal are the most professional and compassionate team we could have asked for. Our very old wolfdog, who was fearful and difficult to handle by strangers, was nearing the end and we needed to let him go before he deteriorated any further. No local vet had an opening for weeks, but when I called Forever Companion, Crystal answered right away and took all my pertinent information, and an appointment was scheduled for the very next morning. The team arrived on time and was very patient with letting me get Aslan ready for them to come inside. They explained the entire process and dealt with Aslan and our family in a kind and gentle manner. We never felt rushed at all, and they made a very difficult situation bearable. These women are angels. read more

I called them in an absolute panic. My best friend of 14 yrs was not well and I knew it was time. They answered the phone and were infinitely patient with me. To say they were kind or responsive or compassionate would be true but just not enough. We were so lucky to have them during our most difficult moment with our beagle. I believe they even responded after their normal business hours on a Saturday night. The respect and love they showed my pet and my family is immeasurable. I can't say enough good about the level of care this company provides. From the bottom of my heart thank you Elisa and crystal. read more

I texted Forever Companion on a Saturday when my cat's health was rapidly declining. They answered right away. They answered all of my questions and were so loving and kind during the process.

I was so impressed and grateful for their compassion during that tough time, and they assured me that it was the right decision and we were doing the right thing.

If I could give more stars I would for this review. To start, this was a last minute decision I had to make, Dr. Elisa Bandelin and Crystal Haymond responded promptly (after hours) to my appointment inquiry and were incredibly compassionate. They fit me into their schedule, made paperwork easy, and during the whole in person process of saying goodbye to my dear Fletcher (dog) were so kind and compassionate I cannot express how appreciative I am for their above and beyond service and who they are as people given the weight of what they do. They made something that feels out of control and heartbreaking into something that felt calm and peaceful. Thank you to both of them, I cannot repay them for the peace they gave to both Fletcher and I. read more
