We knew our boy Moose, whom we had since he was 3-5 years old who was now 15-17 needed Paws into Grace. It's not what we wanted (him gone) but it was the right thing to do since he had become ill and wasn't wanting to eat. In contacting them over the phone and sharing our situation, the attendant was extremely responsive and empathetic to our situation. As the date got closer, our poor boy declined quicker and we even had to move the date up. The company was super flexible and understanding and we were grateful they were able to accommodate this move to two days earlier. When the day came, we were certainly sad. When Dr. Benson arrived, she was soft spoken and kind. She greeted Moose and as soon as he noticed someone had walked in he got up and wagged his tail the best he could. This scene brought me to tears because that was the essence of who Moose was as our pet. He loved ALL humans and was always seeking their attention. Dr. Benson pet Moose and gave him love and affection. He received it and then went to his bed shortly after. She explained the process to us from start to finish. She was gentle in her wording and handling of every last detail. We set Moose up in one of his favorite sunning spots in the yard on his bed. And gracefully, Moose crossed over the rainbow bridge. We were given plenty of time to spend with Moose as the sedative worked and then after the final moments we were able to say our final goodbyes. The gentlemen who came to take care of Moose afterwards was soft spoken and extremely kind. He took care of Moose and left respectfully as he came. We are so grateful from start to finish how this went with our beloved boy. We will forever miss him. But the send off he was given will be forever a part of his journey. Thank you, Paws into Grace. Your whole team are gems. read more

It's been two weeks since my dog came back to me from Paws into Grace. It was a sudden loss that I was grateful for this company to have a time slot last minute for my family. However, there were some not so great things or improvements they should consider. Initial call with the lady to schedule was alright. She honestly didn't cover much of information, I felt like I had to ask her a lot of questions that she initially didn't mention. If she can slowly just go over from start to finish, it would've eased my mind a little bit more during this horrible time. In details... I know this is a business, but also this isn't something people go through every year (hopefully). The doctor came and she was very understanding of the situation. It felt like she was genuinely sorry for what we were going through as she also lost hers not long ago. I do wish that she would've stepped outside the house to give me little more privacy, but it is what it is. Im sure I could've asked. She did her best in the circumstances. Now, the worst part of this experience was the picking up the ashes. It took me 1 hour round trip to get there and it took 2 seconds to get her back and leave the place. The lady came out with a brown bag and hurried me out the door. I honestly didn't know what to expect, but that wasn't it. I was dumbfounded of like what just happened? Can I at least take a moment to open the bag to see what's all inside? Take a moment to just take it all in that I'm picking my child up as ashes? It felt like 'ok, you paid me, now you can go' vibe. It would've been nice to just take a moment instead of being rushed out. Also not sure why they don't offer drop off, I know a lot of people would pay extra for that so at least they are home when they receive the ashes back and go back to cry all they want at home. I really do appreciate what this company does, but there are something that need some improvements. read more

I cannot express my gratitude for the staff here that were so compassionate after the sudden passing of my senior cat, Lady. Her passing came on very suddenly at an emergency vet clinic nearby and they were beyond helpful in helping arrange everything. When I arrived there was a specific bed that was awaiting her and she was handled with the greatest care when she was placed in it so we could say our final goodbyes. Her remains came back beautifully displayed and in a timely fashion. There was never any pushing towards a more expensive package than the one we chose which was also very deeply appreciated. The staff were compassionate, kind, and held a very sacred space for my little girl and for the people that loved her so much. Thank you all again from the bottom of my heart. It's taken me over a year to write this, but you're doing incredible work in stewarding over our beloved animals that have passed. read more

Dr. Campbell arrived at 9:00 AM, our appointment time, and gently helped my 19-year-old kitty to Rainbow Bridge as I held Toffee in my arms and said my final farewell to my precious baby girl. At home euthanasia was the most merciful and dignified way to honor her life and I am so grateful to Sr. Campbell and Paws into Grace for their service. My family was present in Toffee's last moments. The medication used assured us that Toffee didn't suffer. Sparing Toffee the trauma of a car trip to a crowded vet hospital allowed her journey to the Bridge to begin and end in the comfort of her home and family. I highly recommend Dr. Campbell and Paws into Grace for all pet parents who wish to make this emotionally painful experience calm and dignified for their beloved pets. read more

It has taken me almost a year to write this review because I am still heartbroken over the sudden loss of my baby boy cat, Kitty Boots 007, on December 30th, 2025. He was only 7 years old and he was a very special cat; he walked on a leash, did tricks, and purred like a helicopter. He was a stray that i took in at about 1 year old. For anyone who has to go through the most painful experience of losing a pet, I wholeheartedly recommend this business. Everyone was so compassionate and patient, especially when I was non-stop crying on the phone. They understand how difficult this is, and they are very tender and supportive. To anyone reading this, I am so sorry for your loss or upcoming sad decision... but trust Paws into Grace. They truly care. read more

Updating because I just picked up my memorial items. Waiting 3 weeks for them to be returned to me was more difficult than I expected emotionally, but everything was exactly as I picked out and the office was calm and welcoming. I was surprised how well they captured his stripes/different colors in the fur clipping and how much it would mean to me to see his fur again. The paw print was also well done. Thank you for taking such good care of my boy. read more

They were so thoughtful. Called them at 6:30 when my pet passed, and by 7:30, they were at my house ready to pick up my baby. They gave me time to say goodbye, and she was so thoughtful when she carried my baby. They are the best. read more

True professionals. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. We were heartbroken to say goodbye to our 5-year-old Tessa, but Dr. Benson and her team were truly wonderful. They were patient, compassionate, and made sure every detail was explained and handled with care. It may seem like a small thing, but before leaving, both Dr. Benson and her assistant turned to me to say a final goodbye and wish us well. That simple gesture meant so much and it made letting go just a little easier. Thank you so much for your kindness during such a difficult moment. read more

There are no words to describe the compassion, thoughtfulness, kindness, gentleness, support and shared knowledge of Dr Adrienne when she helped us send my beloved 16 1/2 year old baby to a peaceful, happy place. Also their staff was kind and understanding on all communications (email, text, phone). not particularly cheap but worth every penny!!!! Thank you Paw into Grace for making one of the most painful times managable for my husband and me. read more

I'm so grateful to Paws Into Grace. They are responsive, reliable and humane during one of the most painful processes a pet owner can go through. They were easy to get on the phone to schedule an appointment, they offer in-home euthanasia (which is a must in my opinion), and they offer aquamation which produces lower carbon emissions than cremation. They offer many different remembrance items to choose from and they own and operate their aquamation facility; ensuring the highest level of quality and assurance. I can't thank Dr. Klaus enough for his compassion, professionalism and humanity in helping our Bentley cross over the Rainbow Bridge. Bentley felt no pain and Dr. Klaus explained the process prior to beginning and he allowed me to hold my Bentley on my lap during the entire process. I'm so thankful to Dr. Klaus and Paws Into Grace for this compassionate experience. read more

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is the hardest thing to do. I prefer the service that Paws into Grace provides as it allows us to peacefully say that difficult goodbye in our own home. Our beloved Kona was almost 16 years old & she'd had a long hard battle with Chronic Kidney Disease. She was also deaf, had dementia & was going blind. We didn't want her to be scared in those last moments of her long life. She was terrified of the vet and we didn't want to put her through that trauma. Paws into Grace was very accommodating & Dr. Paul Klaus was so compassionate & gentle with her. He made her very comfortable & allowed us & our other pets to say goodbye gracefully. Kona passed away in my arms, in her own home & surrounded by those who loved her! Thanks to everyone at Paws into Grace for making Kona's transition peaceful, thank you so much for hand delivering her ashes today. We miss her so much! read more

Great service!! First time putting my pet down and the staff was respectful and kind throughout the entire process.

Our experience was from December 2024. Losing your fur baby is so hard and we were dreading the day we would have to consider euthanizing our baby. During our dog's last few days, we did lots of research on in-home euthanasia and came across Paws into Grace. The last few days were filled with unknowns and quick decisions that needed to be made each day, sometimes each hour. During a difficult night, we reached out to Paws into Grace about potentially scheduling a euthanasia appointment. I didn't leave a VM at that time but they texted me back first thing in the morning to see how they could help. Our dog passed away in the following days so we ended up only calling to inquire about their cremation services but they were so responsive both times we reached out. When we spoke to them on the phone, they were so kind and sympathetic, took their time explaining all of the services they offered, and got us scheduled for a same day drop off. Drop off: They were able to get us in for a drop off at their San Diego office. Our entire appointment was private which we really appreciated. They have a separate office area with a different door which they used to handle pick ups during our appointment time. They walked us through the cremation service and allowed us to browse the different memorial items offered as an upgrade or for purchase. Kayla assisted us during this appointment and she was so incredibly kind and warm, making the painful process a little bit easier for me and my family. Cremation Services: They offer individual and communal cremation services and prices are based on your pet's weight. Their cremation service is done as a water cremation versus a fire cremation. The individual cremation price includes an urn, clay pay print, and fur clippings in a clear glass vial. The included urn includes a couple wood options as well as biodegradable options that are intended to be buried. They also had urn upgrade options including one with an insertable photo slot which we decided to upgrade to. The clay paw print is well made and has a strong imprint of our dog's paw. In addition to the clay paw print and fur clipping, we also purchased one of their many other memorial options including an acrylic stand with her nose and paw print and a paw print pendant made with her ashes. Pick up: They kept us updated on the status of our made-to-order memorial items and texted us when she was ready for pick up. We dropped her off in early December and they made it a point to get her to us before the holidays. The pick up was easy and everything was packed up in a nice gift bag for presentation. We are so grateful to Kayla and the Paws Into Grace team for making this difficult time a little bit easier, from knowing our fur baby was taken care of and cremated with care, to being able to commemorate her with the wonderful memorial items offered by Paws into Grace. read more

The Dr and her husband were so kind and gentle through the whole process. It went as well as I could have ever expected. They even offered to drop my guy off and saved me the hassle of a long drive. I truly appreciate them and would definitely recommend to anyone in need of this difficult service. -SK- read more

UPDATE. The work and service they do is so thoughtful. Making a painful process more graceful. You can read my previous review about the process. This update was about the aftermath. After Chloe had passed I was told 2-3 weeks, closure to 3 weeks before I get her urn+ashes. They confirmed all the customizations I requested. Exactly 3 weeks I made contact (because I haven't heard about updates since the first week) and was told she was pending the engagement. I was hoping to get her back by Mother's Day but that didn't happen. Days later I made contact again and I think since I kept following up they started on the engravement that day and could pick her up. Basically, it took nearly 4 weeks to get her remains. The day I picked up her urn+ashes I made contact I was on my way. Upon arrival they displayed all their memorabilia offerings and there was alot I didn't realize because when picking out her stuff it's right after they pass and your too distraught to really "shop"). I plan to order more memorabilia. Waiting for me was a nicely packaged bag with Chloe's urn+ashes and the memorabilia I ordered. I cried!! It stung but at the same time it game me a sense of peace and closure. Her urn was beautifully crafted and all the customizations were there (picture slot, her name and some words engraved, an engravement outline of her face, and an engravement of her paw and nose. Ashes are in a sealed bag inside a very secured urn - along with a one of balls. I had asked to separate some ashes in 5 tiny bags so I can spread them at her favorite places (as I believe a piece of her belongs to the places that brought her so much joy and happiness). That was also done. And I asked for a cremation certificate in the event I relocate and need to take her ash on a flight and they provided a death certificate/cremation certificate. I had used one of the bags of ash to create a sterling silver Ocean Pendent custom jewelry. This is important to me - one thing my Chloe and I did was chase endless sunsets (it was our thing). Now, I'll be wearing this pendant when I chase sunsets and she will be closest to my heart. Thank you for doing what you do. It's really helped make a decision and transition a little less painful. read more

Horrible experience trying to contact this company regarding my dog. I totally understand the doctors have processes and procedures in place for dogs that are labeled "aggressive" at the vet, but doesn't that warrant a phone call with the owner directly to discuss your specific dog? Versus relaying information through your front office staff who aren't equipped to respond back to your questions? How are you going to state "the doctor will require specific medicine to be filled and administered to your dog beforehand before proceeding forward" when you can't tell me what the actual medication is AND when you have absolutely no knowledge of my dog's medical history? Having to even reach out to this company is obviously, a HORRIBLE position to be in --- but thank you Paws Into Grace for making it even more frustrating and stressful. Telling me multiple times on the phone that the call is being recorded -- golly I felt like I was talking to Big Brother versus a vet's office. read more

We used their services to do at-home euthanasia for my chihuahua of 16 years. It was like losing my child but she was suffering from CHF. They made the entire process less of the nightmare I thought it would be. They made us calm, hopeful, and at ease the entire time. Their staff had the best energy and calming, understanding demeanor. Highly recommend them!! read more

One million stars. They made a highly stressful situation very peaceful. Erica on the phone was so nice, calm and reassuring. Dr Paul came to our house and was so kind. The whole experience was so peaceful I didn't even realize our sweet Lola had transitioned. It's about double the cost of the vet but with every penny. My dog was very comfortable, the kids could be there, nobody was stressed. Thank you team. read more

I couldn't have asked a better place to come out and bring peace to our Loki Girl. A 90 lbs German Shepard let us know she was ready and Melissa handled everything over the phone so kindly. She was gentle with your explanations and made it an easy process for us. They came out the same day.. accommodated our schedule.. Dr Klaus came out first and i immediately felt at ease and safe. Took us step by step and was very kind and patient with my family. Josh came to help with Loki and he couldn't have been more reassuring and kind. I will be recommending this place to anyone who needs them so i know they will be taken care of. Thank you Paws into Grace teams! You are all angels. read more

Kind, caring and understanding. My sweet boy had passed away at home from his cancer taking over rapidly. Came to find he passed away when I had gotten up for the day, and when I was able to come to my senses I was able to decide on having him cremated and decided on Paw into Grace. An appointment was schedule for the next day to drop him off. Going into the appointment was very hard but it didn't feel real and I was fairly numb due to the fact that my baby was only 5 years old and was my first. The receptionist was so sweet and knew very well how to deal with people grieving. They had a rolling bed ready for him with a blanket and pillow to make sure he was comfortable and locked the front door so that we could say our goodbyes peacefully without interruption. Then she very kindly walked us through the products they offered to help us remember our baby and gave us our time to decide. Walked us through every step of what would happen next and what to expect. Very sweet woman. Glad to have left my baby to be cared for after his passing with Paws of Grace. read more

I would highly recommend Paws Into Grace. From the moment I had to call to set up the appointment to the end, they were very kind. The office staff was very nice and compassionate. The Vet that came out, I can't say enough wonderful things. She was very compassionate, caring and patient. This is our first time losing pet so I didn't realize how hard this was going to be. We're still trying to adjust not having her around. She was 17 years old and lived a very good life. She was actually my mom's dog and when she passed, we took her. She was already use to us as my mom and her lived with us before my mom passed so Mini (that was her name) didn't have to adjust to the house. Just to not having mom around anymore. She was the most spoiled little dog. Having someone care that way during this very difficult time really helped. She walked us thru every step and let us know what to expect. Everything she said happened exactly as she said. read more

Saying farewell to our furry family members is extremely difficult. We recently had to say goodbye to two of our beloved "kids" and for the fourth time, we asked Paws Into Grace to come to our home to assist us with this very emotional ordeal. Dr. Paul Klaus eased our concerns and sorrow and made this sad event easier on my wife and me...as well as our 24-year-old cat and 15-year-old terrier. He was compassionate and professional, had answers to our questions, and handled their passing with care and love. We will continue to provide love and shelter for our rescued furry ones...and feel comforted knowing that Paws Into Grace will help us so well when we sadly need them. Thank you. read more

A heartfelt thank you to Brooke and Marc. My beloved cat, Tony, passed away over a decade ago, and I haven't done anything with his ashes. After talking through it with Brooke and Marc, I found some lovely memorial items to keep his memory alive and bring me comfort. It's beautiful work and I'm so glad I went for it. Thanks, Paws Into Grace read more

They are truly amazing. Very understanding and kind during a very difficult time. Will always recommend them. I don't remember the name of the gentleman who came to my home however his compassion and grace will never be forgotten. This was on 4/24/23. Our dear baby boy Mossimo Applejack passed away unexpectedly. We have a beautiful wooden urn with him and his pawprint, some fur and an infinite amount of LOVE inside. I also added some of his favorite flowers, pansies, and some catnip. He was our baby for 15+ years. We miss him every day. He is survived by his twin brother Maxeemo Loco and other brother Wally Ollieverdoes and his sister MapaPapa. His sister Cinnamon has also since passed at the age of 13 on 9/26/24 :-( Thank you, Paws into Grace, for words can not express how grateful we are for the beautiful memorial we have. read more

I wanted to update my review, still 5 stars!, as I have now had 3 very different experience with them. My first home euthanasia I rushed, as he was seizing and I just wanted it to be over. They were compassionate and wonderful, but I wish I had done tbh da differently at the time and held him. Fast forward to 2024 and both of my 18 year old cats died within 6 weeks of each other. I had initially scheduled a home appointment for one of my cats, however he passed on his own in my arms the day before. It was late in the day so I called and they were helpful on the phone in walking me through how to preserve his body until they could pick him up. They prioritized us and came first thing in the morning and the woman who came was very kind. His sister very suddenly declined from intestinal cancer a few weeks later and they were able to make an appointment for the morning after I called. I was finally able to have a peaceful experience outside, holding her in the sunshine. I hate the thought that I will have to continue using their services in the future, but am so thankful they exist! read more

Saying goodbye to our 14-year-old dog Brooklyn was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the team at Paws into Grace. From the moment they arrived, they showed the utmost kindness, patience, and compassion--not just to Brooklyn, but to our entire family. They gave our sweet girl a peaceful, dignified, and beautiful passing, and made sure she felt comforted and loved every step of the way. Their calm presence and gentle care turned an incredibly painful moment into an experience filled with respect and grace. I highly recommend Paws into Grace to anyone facing this heartbreaking decision.

This is such a difficult call to have to make but Paws Into Grace makes it as easy as possible. I was devastated to have to put my girl down and called around 5am when she took a turn for the worse and knew it was time to let her rest. I got a call back by 8am before they open and was able to get an appointment same day. The woman who called me was kind, calm, and so patient with me as I could sometimes not speak through my tears. I am so glad we got a vet as warm, calm, and kind as Dr. Benson. I was terrified that I would lose it and not be able to go through with it but she made me and my pup feel very comfortable. I never felt rushed or ashamed for being a heartbroken mess. She gave me and my mom space to say goodbye and my girl finally looked peaceful and comfortable. Thank you to Dr. Benson & the whole team for what you do - this cannot be an easy job but it is so appreciated to be able to let your dog rest in a comfortable space and be with loved ones before they go. This was the hardest day but I am so very grateful for Paws Into Grace allowing us to give my baby the comfort she deserved. read more

Paws Into Grace helped me turn one of the worst days of my life, into an ethical transition of our dogs final moments, and gave me memorial items that will help me focus on our dogs life while she was here. Excellent and respectful staff, prompt and clear communication of pricing and processes involved with pet remains. I would highly consider their euthanasia services, as dealing with our dogs remains after her passing and refrigerating a dog over 40 pounds was not only difficult, but it was emotionally devastating. A true heartfelt thanks to all the staff. I know I thanked you numerous times in person, but I can't help but further express just how much your kindness and services helped us through such a forlorn event. read more
