A review I wish I never had to write. Our fur baby, Panini, was nearing the end of his fight with…read morelymphoma and we made the decision to say goodbye to him at home, where he could be with us and our other kitty in his familiar surroundings. We reached out to Betsy and planned for her to come the afternoon the next day; immediately, on the phone, I was soothed by her calm, compassionate manner and knew Panini would be in good hands. The night before, the ER vet let us know Panini was declining faster; we went over to BluePearl in Waltham (which I also recommend) and texted Betsy if she could come in at her earliest. She responded promptly and said she could. With sick pets operating on a very fluid schedule, we really appreciated her accommodating us. I thank Betsy for walking us through the procedure and explaining the steps. She had an incredible bedside manner and gave us time to grieve. I'm not sure how she does it but I'm so glad and grateful for how kindly she treated both us and Panini during this time. We had a ton of questions before, during, and after, and she answered them all with patience. If you need someone to give the best for your pet and to treat them as if they were her own, please call Betsy.

Betsy is technically skillful but also extraordinarily compassionate, understanding, soft spoken and gentle toward both our beloved dogs and the family members present for our dogs' final moments, one on a familiar couch and one on the grass in the yard he so enjoyed. She clearly understands and feels the trauma we were feeling and made our pet' s passing as easy as possible. She assisted at every step, and stayed to help until all was done. We are very grateful to her for making these difficult steps less painful. We were so very lucky to find her. She is the best.

Losing a pet is never an easy thing but HOW you say goodbye MATTERS. We contacted Dr. Susan Holt…read moreat Say Goodbye at Home when we knew our precious little golden, Sailor, was failing. Dr. Holt was absolutely AMAZING. Her love and care for animals and her undertaking of her business says it all. It can't be easy for Dr. Holt to travel to pet owners homes and face tears and anguish every day, but that's exactly why she does what she does. So pet owners can peacefully say goodbye to their pets in the comfort of their own homes. Despite our sorrow, we felt so good about how our little warrior just drifted off in one of her favorite spots in the house. Dr. Holt was extremely caring and gave us time with her..comforting us and assuring us of our decision. If the time ever comes when you have to face this painful decision, I highly recommend Dr. Holt for a caring and beautiful sendoff. Thank you Dr. Holt for your strength and love. We miss our Sailor every day, but you have made us smile as she was so peaceful and ready for her journey to once again be united with her brother Sam over the rainbow bridge.

There is nothing like losing your best friend, but Dr. Cushing made the experience as good as it…read morecould be. She was so helpful along the way, when it became clear that our beloved girl was slowing down. When the time finally came, Dr. Cushing was readily available to answer all of our questions, talk with us about what we should expect, and was a great communicator during travel times. On the day of the euthenasia, she was kind, patient, and gentle. She was so caring and made sure that our last moments with our soul dog were beautiful. I can't even thank her enough, and I can't encourage you enough to work with Dr. Cushing when it's your pet's time. We have no regrets--it's worth every single cent to help them transition to death in the comfort of their home and your arms.

Words cannot describe how much we love Dr. Hayes and the phenomenal work she does with grieving…read morefamilies and their beloved pets. This past weekend, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to put our cat, Kiki, to sleep after a long battle with her illness. Kiki hated veterinary clinics, and near the end of her life she had been to several. We wanted her final moments to be peaceful, at home, free from the stress of her carrier or the sterile environment of an animal hospital. Dr. Hayes responded to my inquiry immediately: a phone call, a voicemail, a text, and an email with thoughtful resources and her availability. When we finally spoke about Kiki's condition, she was calm, compassionate, and professional. She walked us through every option and was transparent about pricing from the start. What also set Dr. Hayes apart was her availability over the weekend, something that is genuinely difficult to accommodate and not something every provider offers. Her flexibility during what is already an impossibly hard time is noteworthy and deeply appreciated. The day itself was one of the hardest our family has faced, but Dr. Hayes brought a quiet, somber grace to it that was genuinely comforting. She was extremely patient with us, never once making us feel rushed, and gave us all the time we needed to say our goodbyes to Kiki, something that meant more than words can express. As someone who works in medicine myself, I was especially moved by the care and respect she showed Kiki's body after she passed, it did not go unnoticed. She was also wonderfully gentle with our 10-year-old and with Kiki's brother Mason, who wanted to be there to say goodbye. I highly recommend Dr. Hayes to any family navigating this painful decision. Her compassion, professionalism, and flexibility make her exactly the kind of vet you need by your side in those final moments. We are so grateful she exists and does this work. If you are facing this impossibly hard decision, you could not be in more caring hands.

Dr. Hayes is incredible. She is both professional and warm. When we reached out to Dr. Hayes…read moreinquiring about at home euthanasia and quality of life for our 13 year old family dog Lexi, she was responsive, compassionate and knowledgeable right from the start. Dr. Hayes reached out to our Vet directly to obtain all of Lexi's medical records. Dr. Hayes made herself available via text and phone late into the evening to talk through meds as we tried to make Lexi comfortable during her last couple of days. When the time came to say goodbye to Lexi, Dr. Hayes showed up to our house with empathy and calmness as she explained every step of the process. While saying goodbye was one of the most gut wrenching experiences filled with lots of tears, we somehow all found peace in having Lexi comfortable in her home surrounded by her entire family. Dr. Hayes made this possible. There is no shortage of amazing animals, but this world needs more humans like Dr, Hayes. Truly, thank you. -Lexi's Family
