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.

Having been a rescue, Trooper was always happiest at home. We didn't want his last moments to be full of stress in a clinical environment. Dr. Holt was very responsive and was able to quickly provide us with a few scheduling options. When the dreaded day came, she was very compassionate both with us and with our dog. She explained the process, and did not rush us once he had passed. Dr. Holt made everything as easy as possible for us - including one fee that included her services as well as cremation services through a third party. We recommend Dr. Holt to help you say good-bye to your fur baby in a way that will be as comfortable as possible for them and for you.

Making the decision to say goodbye to a beloved pet is the hardest choice a pet owner can ever…read moremake, but electing to use Beloved Pet in-home euthanasia service was the best decision we could have made during such a devastating time. From the very first phone call, the Dr. Cushing showed an incredible level of empathy and understanding, taking care of the logistics smoothly so we didn't have to navigate difficult forms or explanations while grieving.When she arrived at our home, her presence was immediately calming and deeply respectful. She thoroughly explained every step of the process beforehand, ensuring we knew exactly what to expect and giving us all the unhurried, private time we needed to say our goodbyes.The entire process was profoundly gentle and entirely painless. Our sweet companion simply and peacefully fell asleep surrounded by love, free from the stress, unfamiliar smells, and anxiety of a traditional clinic visit. Afterward, the doctor provided us with the utmost privacy to grieve, handling our pet's remains with the highest level of dignity and care.I am forever grateful for the immense compassion, grace, and tenderness shown to both our family and our pet during their final moments. For anyone facing this heartbreaking transition, I cannot recommend this service highly enough--it is truly the most loving gift you can give a faithful companion.

She made an unimaginable day as peaceful and comforting as it could possibly be. I will always be grateful for her kindness and the care she gave Chelsea in her final moments.

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.
