There is no easy way to say goodbye to a beloved pet. Saying goodbye to our 16 year old cat at home was the best decision ever. Dr. Sara and Craig explained exactly what to expect and it was so peaceful for her. They are so compassionate and genuine... we wouldn't choose to do it any other way and with any other team! Thank you Craig and Dr. Sara read more

From start to finish, Dr Sara and Craig treated my family and me with compassion. Their website lays out all the details of what to expect, but both Craig and Dr. Sara take the time, through text and on the phone, to help guide you and your family through one of life's most difficult moments. Sophie gave us 12 wonderful years, and she will be dearly missed. Thanks to Passing With Dignity, our final moments with our beloved girl were peaceful and filled with nothing but love. read more

Passing With Dignity - Malibu (Bubba) - Veterinarians Near Me

I'm so grateful to have heard tons of recommendations over the years about Dr Sara and her service. I always knew when it was time to put our terrier to sleep that I wanted Sara to be the one to aid in that process. She was absolutely wonderful, kind, gentle, warm and loving. Everything we could ever want or need! Craig was also Incredible and immediately got back to my text messages and took about 20 minutes on our first call to answer all my questions. We put our sweet 16-year-old Oliver to sleep today and it was such a beautiful and peaceful goodbye. I'm so grateful for the experience we had. I would highly recommend using their service and doing in-home euthanasia whenever possible. I've done in clinic euthanasia before with previous dogs, and it's traumatic and stressful and never felt quite right....I am thankful that the timing lined up this time. My only recommendation would be to make a consultation call/get on the schedule as soon as the thought enters your mind. You don't want your pet to suffer longer than they need to. And if you're having a hard time deciding if it's the right time or not, I would recommend checking out the video link on their website. It helped to reassure me that the timing was right and if you're even considering euthanasia, it's probably time....especially if you have an older animal who lived a long beautiful life! Don't doubt it or keep them around for shellfish reasons, they deserve better than that. puppy heaven is shining brighter today. We thank God Sara and Craig, they are special souls. read more

When it was time to put down our 19 year old fur baby Snickers I knew we had to find a place that would come to our house since he would have anxiety at the vet's office and I didn't want that for him. I asked for recommendations from my vet and this was one of the places suggested. Checked out the website to be prepared and they sounded like the perfect fit. Even before the day that Sara and Craig came, they were always so caring through all interaction on the phone or through text. By the time they came, the whole experience was everything I had hoped for and more. They were very nice and soft spoken and explained everything to me and my whole family throughout the whole process. For something so difficult, I don't think anyone else could have made the process any easier. They understood the pain we were going through and tried to help in any way by giving us time to grieve, telling us how to have our other dog say goodbye ( this is our first family dog we have lost) and taking care of our baby with great care when leaving. I know it costs more to have someone come over to our house but I would try to do that always in the future if possible. We all were there to say goodbye in the place where he was most comfortable. It's only been a week so still painful but we all are so happy we found Sara and Craig to help us through this difficult process. I have spoken to many others who waited too long to put their dog down to where they were suffering and wished they followed the same path we did. I know mine is no longer suffering but left us with happy memories and lots of hugs read more

Dr.Sara and Craig were amazing. We had to put our 20 year old cat down as she was in severe kidney failure. Dr. Sara was so comforting and made the transition as easy as possible. They both provided on what to expect and called us before they showed up to answer any questions. Our other cat was 19 when we had to take her into an urgent care vet in the area. That experience was not good and we had to wait in the waiting room for 45 minutes until they put us in a room. even though we had an appointment Traumatizing for my cat and us. I would recommend Dr. Sara,Craig and passing with dignity to anyone that has to help their animals pass. thank you Dr. Sara and Craig read more

I can't really expand on all the five star reviews, they sum up the service we received perfectly. If you have a pet you know "that day" will eventually come, and while you dread its arrival it's comforting to know a service like Dr. Sara's is available. read more

These two amazing people, Dr. Sara and Craig, made an unbelievably hard time seem less difficult. They were so amazing and helped us through putting down our beloved Abby cat. It was peaceful and even though very heartbreaking, they were very compassionate towards my husband and I and our kitty. I can't recommend this service enough. We had to do the same thing our other cat and it was an emergency so it was at the vet's office. It is so horrifying. It is clinical and everyone sees you falling apart and then leaving with an empty carrier and crying all the way home. This so much more pleasant and peaceful for the pet because they are at home and not scared. 5/5 Stars! read more

I don't have enough words to express my gratitude towards Dr. Sara and Craig during an extremely difficult time. Their prompt attention, thoughtfulness, compassion and grace made one of the hardest days a little bit easier. My elderly dog Kona had a stroke early on a Monday morning. We made the difficult decision it was time since he could not walk easily without assistance. The most important thing for me was to make sure it was as comfortable and peaceful as possible, without the distress of the vet office. I contacted Dr. Sara and team, and heard back within 30 minutes that there was an opening the following day. This gave me time to spoil my boy for another day without prolonging his pain too much. The day of, I was confused and anxious that I mixed the days up somehow, but Craig responded promptly to confirm my texts and reassure me. Dr Sara called me a few hours or so before the appointment to go over what to expect and answer any questions. I knew we made the right decision but she was so compassionate and reassuring it helped me process. My sweet boy was most comfortable on the sofa, so we laid down some plastic and then a big soft blanket he could lay on. At the time of the appointment, Dr. Sara and Craig were very sweet and explained again to family present what to expect. The whole process was painful, but so gentle and peaceful. Kona ate some tasty turkey to his heart's content, until the painkiller lulled him to the deepest peaceful sleep he has had for awhile. Dr. Sara e sured he was surrounded by all of us that loved him and we all were able to say goodbye. The process seemed like 10 or 15 minutes from the painkiller to him passing, and the entire appointment was only 40 minutes or so from them arriving to leaving with my sweet boy. After he passed, we were given some lovely daffodil bulbs and trinkets to select from to remember him by. I elected for private cremation, and his remains were sent within a week or so. Everything was prompt and professional, with lots of compassion and understanding. I cannot thank Dr. Sara and Craig enough for making such a difficult time a little bit easier to deal with, and treating my Kona with such love and grace. read more

I had the "pleasure" of using Passing With Dignity in August with my little buddy Diesel, my 18 year old poodle/bichon furbaby. The best little guy ever, he gave me his best life as a rescue from age 4 and he deserved the best passing over the Rainbow Bridge. Dr Sara provided exactly that, it was so easy, he fell asleep in my arms listening to my voice. The most peaceful experience for us both, thank you so much. read more

Reaching the decision that it was time to put our 21 year old cat Buster down given his declining health was already difficult. To think about dragging him into a veterinary office, which we knew was quite stressful for him even during his healthiest years, learning about Dr. Sara and Craig's in home services was a huge relief. Their compassion and professionalism was obvious from the initial phone call with Craig, throughout the entire process. Their dedication in providing this much needed service in our community is highly commendable. We know Buster had a great home with us and that he is now peacefully at rest and we are grateful for Dr. Sara and Craig helping us provide him with the most love possible at the end of his life. read more

Passing With Dignity - Veterinarians Near Me

I cannot recommend Passing with Dignity and specifically, Dr. Sara enough. Our sweet boy was diagnosed with a terminal tumor and we were told he only had days to live. We were beside ourselves and couldn't process the idea of putting him down; even though we knew it was the best thing for him. We were referred to Dr. Sara by a family member and when we called to gather information about the process, Craig answered the phone and was nothing short of kind and compassionate. He did an amazing job of explaining all the details and options that Passing with Dignity provided. After we got off the phone with Craig, we knew this was the direction we needed to go in. Dr. Sara was even kind enough to call us the morning of the procedure and reassure us that we were doing the right thing for our boy. She was incredibly empathetic and made us feel more at ease with our difficult decision. When it came time to say goodbye to our boy, Craig and Dr. Sara were calm and incredibly kind and talked us through everything. They were gentle with our boy and with us. It was the best decision we could have made to say goodbye and let go of our boy. He was able to go to sleep peacefully in his bed, in his home. Dr. Sara even wrote us the most touching card and included some flower seeds, which we will plant in our backyard in honor of our boy. It was just the neatest gift idea to provide to grieving pet parents. When our nine-year old niece found out our boy was sick, she gave me a bracelet to remember him by. Before Dr. Sara and Craig left our home, they also gave us a small charm. I added the charm to my bracelet and now I have loving reminders of, not just my sweet boy, but of the kindness and deeply caring hearts of Craig and Dr. Sara. read more

Coming to this decision is never easy and we are having to put our dog down due to behavioral issues and aggression. Contact was easy but when i needed to discuss with my fiancé before getting back to craig and sara they always had pressing reasons why they needed to hear back from me ASAP. They were always pressing about getting a credit card via photos over text...sketchy. Overall they completely changed their minds on allowing me to use their service, even though originally there were no issues. Very unprofessional and if you are legit business why would you have a more professional website that doesn't seem like a scam. Thank you make this difficult process even more difficult. read more

Our 12 years old pooch has cancer and we have to made a tough decision to let him go. Passing With Dignity was the first in-home service I called 10 mins before they open. Craig answered the phone. He was very professional. It was not an easy decision but with someone who has the patient and understanding what an owner/family goes through. He asked questions, he listened, and explained the process. Both, Dr. Sara and Craig were passionate and respectful from the phone call to the service at our house. They explained/walked us through step by step explain. My family and I are very grateful for Dr. Sara and Craig. Rest in peace my sweet Maxie Boo Boo. You are pain free. We miss you and love you. read more

Passing with dignity has no dignity in their customer service. I sent a request asking if they serviced our area and was told that they do but there MIGHT be an additional service fee. They asked me to text them and answer 18 questions via text. They were not willing to speak a via telephone. I sent all of the information and then was asked about cremation. I reminded them that we were unsure of how all this worked and that we did not need any extras. They then referred us elsewhere. I expressed my confusion and said that I was simply trying to get pricing. They said this is more than pricing and maybe this other place can help you. I expressed that it was horrible service to have me send all of that information and not give me pricing. I expressed that I didn't understand why I was being referred elsewhere. They then referred me back to their website and said I could find their pricing on their website, yet there was no mention of a service fee for our area on their website. Overall when families are going through this difficult time we should not be treated like this. I expressed that the service I had received was horrible and they replied with hearts. Passive aggressive is an unacceptable way to respond. read more

Dr Sara and Graig were amazing, compassionate and caring through this very difficult decision with my Angel. I've had pets my all my life and have had to make this decision several times. They really helped me through this process that was a really hard decision to make when your baby is still walking and wagging her tail. They gave her pain medicine and sedative and a bag of treats . She ate the whole bag and just fell asleep. Thank you Dr Sara and Craig for being amazing compassionate humans read more

Dr. Sara and Craig helped us so much when it came to getting our ancient Chihuahua, Belle, across the proverbial Rainbow Bridge. The online questionnaire and communication with Craig gave them all the info they needed to schedule Dr. Sara's visit to our house with the appropriate pre-procedure meds already on board, and the appropriate medications and materials she needed to take care of the task. The kindness and gentleness of this team can't be overstated. They handle both the pet and the humans with care, concern, and support. Every step of the way is guided. Our precious Belle never acted afraid or in pain. The IV meds were not even given until she was asleep with a subcutaneous sedative injection given while she was lapping up "pub cheese" . She never flinched. The smallest details added so much to help with what otherwise could be a very traumatic and sad experience. She left us with some flower seeds to plant in memory of Belle, as well as a couple tiny charms as a remembrance. There was also a sympathy card and a follow up phone call from Craig the day after. We appreciate that there are options for taking care of the remains that are spelled out prior to the visit. We were left feeling like our little family member was still in respectful hands even after her life was gone. Passing With Dignity is everything one could possibly hope for when it comes to assisting a beloved pet at the end of their life. Endless "thank you's" to Dr Sara Nadolski and Craig. read more

I cannot begin to express how unbelievably compassionate and respectful Craig Sara both were when we had to lay our sweet old Fisher to rest a couple of weeks ago. So grateful our whole family was with him in our backyard when he passed..all of us telling him how much we loved him and thanking him for being being with us for so long. Lots of water works for us all but I couldn't imagine doing it any other way, knowing he passed in his own home surrounded by love until the very end. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU CRAIG AND SARA!!

It takes a very special kind of person to assist our beloved pets, in their final moments of life, with the gentleness and compassion they so deserve. Dr. Sara and Craig are these people. When my 13-year-old Golden Retriever, who I had brought home when she was just 8 weeks old, no longer had the quality of life her beautiful spirit deserved, Dr. Sara and Craig were there to help her pass on. They were ultimate professionals who performed their service in the kindest, most respectful way. I truly don't know what I would have done without them -- they eased my sweet girl to the other side, and in doing so, eased some of the pain in my heart. They are wonderful.

Dr.Sara and Craig were so caring, helpful, and loving. We were desperate for a vet who was available sooner rather than later and Craig let us know that there may be an opening and sure enough-he called me within an hour and there was a cancellation for the next day. Craig was a great listener and provided the guidance we needed to make the right decision about our 13 year old lab with non operable cancer. Their approach and kind words during the procedure were comforting and compassionate too. It was a hard but tolerable due to their professionalism and kind approach. Thank you dearly.

One of the hardest decisions a pet owner ever has to make is saying good-bye to a beloved pet. Wicket was 13 and had been in our family since he was 8 weeks old. He had been diagnosed with cancer almost a year ago, but had been doing so well until suddenly on Easter Sunday, he was not. Not having to take him away from home was very important to us. Communicating our sudden and unexpected need with Craig was so hard and he was very helpful and understanding. Dr. Sarah and Craig were incredibly compassionate. They were gentle with Wicket and explained everything to my husband and I. They had such empathy for how we were feeling. We are so grateful for how he was taken care of. We cannot express how much their services meant to us and how respectful they were throughout the procedure and after. read more

Dr. Sara came to my house to help my Neko pass over one rainy day. It was one the most difficult decisions of my life. She and her assistant took such great care to treat Neko gently. They knew she was in a lot of pain. They asked me how much I wanted to be involved in her passing (which was her entire event). They spoke quietly and worked quickly so as not to cause my kitty too much anxiety. She passed over so peacefully and with so much dignity. I will forever be grateful. I almost forgot to mention that her front office staff was so helpful and kind. He did everything he could to work with me on the billing piece of it as I had just moved into my new house and was super broke. All in all my experience with Passing with Dignity was just superb. PS sorry this review is late! I was recommending Dr. Sara to someone on Facebook just now and I shared the Yelp review on my comment. I realized I never posted my own review on Yelp! Oops. read more

As we are sure most experience with these difficult decisions and overwhelming emotions when it comes time to provide the best for their dearly beloved and treasured furry family member, we struggled deeply to know the right time and to be comforted in the manner in which we could say goodbye to our Liam. Dr. Sara and Craig made this experience as wonderful as it could be, all things considered of the inevitable doubt and heartache. We could not have asked for a more comforting and peaceful way for this process to go. From the beginning of the journey, as we realized it was time to begin considering the best for Liam, Dr. Sara and Craig offered objective and compassionate guidance and information, meeting us where we were in the process, to allow us to be better comforted on the when, the why and the how. When the time came, the actual process was easy and allowed us precious time to spend alone with Liam as he relaxed and we had beautiful time to love on him so sweetly. Dr. Sara and Craig were gentle and handled everything with softness and dignity for Liam and the end was very peaceful. They provided bulbs, little keepsakes and a card to further extend their sympathies, which added to the comfort. We miss our dear Liam beyond expression of any words but we know he is at peace and his passing across the rainbow bridge was beautiful. read more

Dr. Sara and Craig were exactly what we and our old-timer, Simon, needed when it came time to make the difficult decision to have him cross over the Rainbow Bridge. Every little detail was carefully planned and thought out. Their compassion, care and support were much appreciated during this highly emotional transition. Simon was treated so gently and carefully that we don't think there was any fear or anxiety, which is what we hoped for during this time. The thoughtful card, seeds and mementos were a lovely gesture as well. Thank you Dr. Sara and Craig for making such a difficult time go as smoothly and gently as possible. You both were a godsend in our time of need! read more
