This is an incredibly hard review to write, but I want to share how grateful I am for Dr. Ivey. She came to our home to help us say goodbye to out sweet Lola and, not long after, our Dexter boy, two of the hardest days of my life. My heart truly goes out to anyone who finds themselves needing this kind of service, sending you love. Dr. Ivey was incredibly gentle, patient, and deeply empathetic. She gave us the time and space we needed to be fully present with our babies, to hold them, love on them, and say our goodbyes without ever feeling rushed. Because of her, both Lola and Dexter were able to pass peacefully at home, surrounded by love. That is something I will always be grateful for. read more

We have had to say goodbye to many pets over the years. Dr. Ivey made it so much bearable than any other vet. She was really good with our enormous dog. Her technique was flawless and he never felt so much as a pinch. We are very grateful to her for coming out on short notice and being so very kind. read more

Dr. Ivey is a gentle and empathetic person. She was extremely patient with my vacillating about whether or not it was time. This is the first time I have had a pet euthanized at home in my lap. What a difference from a cold, impersonal, steel exam table! Highly recommend Dr. Ivey for making a painful process easier with her kindness and caring. She explained each step in advance and detailed the pet's responses. Twenty-five stars. read more

We will be forever grateful to Dr Ivey. She was referred to us and am so thankful. Sadly, we have had to make "the call" a few times over the years. I know it must be incredibly difficult for her to be there for so many during such a difficult time, but she is such a kind and compassionate person all our animals love her too. read more

Dr. Ivey was the most compassionate veterinarian I have ever experienced. I recommend her services to anyone that is in the same situation we were when we found Peace for Pets. Our sweet pup was at the end of her time here on earth and we did not want to stress her by taking her anywhere - I felt so blessed to find Dr. Ivey. She was so kind and helped us understand exactly what we should do and when. Her loving compassion toward our sweet pet and her kind understanding towards my husband and I made us feel so much better about helping our Sadie over the Rainbow Bridge. The entire process was unhurried and as peaceful as anything I could imagine. She made sure we understood the options available to us and walked us through the process each step of the way. She gave us as much time as we needed with our pet and patiently waited till we were ready to let her go. It is always such a sad and heartbreaking time for pet owners - that moment you have to say 'goodbye' to a precious family member - and to have an option like this is a Godsend! It is the absolute best choice in a difficult situation. read more

Dr Ivey was very compassionate and gave us all the time needed to say our final goodbye, and was very kind toward our cat through the whole experience. We definitely recommend her. read more

Once the decision is made comes the selection process. Dr. Ivey's credentials were impeccable. I can see why. The process couldn't have been more flawless. My Sadie just went to sleep. Dr. Ivey couldn't have been more empathetic & understanding. And yes, the pain of going through this process of losing a dog is worth it! They give so much unconditional love back! read more

Dr. Ivey was wonderful. she was able to come the same day we called. Her compassion, the way she administered the medications, and her explaining every step made the whole heartbreaking day so much better. Our dog was able to be at home, not stressed and we could grieve in our own home. honestly, we will always do this if possible. On the cost side, it is cheaper then paying all the costs associated with going to the vet office and the euthanasia. thank you for making this day a little easier for us. read more

During such a sad time when the decision has been made to put a loved pet/for family member down, Dr. Evelyn makes it a little more than tolerable because of her great bedside manner. She explained the process and it went exactly as explained. She did not rush the process either as I cried into my cats fur and told him how much I loved him forever and ever and ever. She just let me let her know when I was ready and then our beloved cat passed away in my arms at home, which honestly couldn't have been more beautiful. Having a handful more of pets at home, we will need to face the end of their lives in the future and we will definitely be calling on Dr. Evelyn for that time. read more

I would give more than 5 stars if I could. We made the difficult decision to euthanize our beautiful German shepherd. I reached out to Dr. Ivey after reading her amazing reviews. We scheduled an appointment and then I was made aware of another family dog in the same position. Doctor Ivey was able to accommodate both dogs. I got to hold my late childhood pup ( chihuahua) as he crossed the rainbow bridge and then I was able to lay with my first baby/GSD as he did the same. Dr. Ivey was so kind and compassionate, she explained every step of the process and made sure both of my boys had the most peaceful passing we could have imagined for them. read more

Dr.Ivey was so kind and sympathetic with our choice we had made to put our 12 1/2 year old dog down. She was gentle kind and sympathetic with our dog. I definitely recommend her services She was a huge blessing in our time of need. She went above and beyond. Thank you very much for your wonderful service. read more

I called Peace for Pets when I had to make the difficult decision to euthanize my beautiful 15-year-old calico cat, Stella in June 2021. I was heartbroken as I made the call. However, after speaking with Dr. Evelyn Ivey, it felt like I had spoken to an angel. Her voice was soothing, calm, and she listened. She really listened as I rambled on and began to cry as I made the appointment. When she arrived the next day, there was a calmness surrounding her that instantly made me feel better regarding what I was about to do. She made certain everything was about Stella and making this experience as palatable as possible. I decided to brush Stella to keep her calm. It worked. And because Dr. Ivey's energy was so soothing and peaceful, Stella didn't even notice that she was present in the room. The injection for sedation was administered without the need of a local. Again, Dr. Ivey acted quickly, but quietly. No sudden moves to startle Stella. I so appreciated that. And finally, the medication was administered to stop Stella's heart. The entire process was no longer than 5 minutes, if that. I'm certain Stella's last memory was of me brushing her and loving her. I'm so very grateful for Dr. Ivey's compassion, professionalism, and that she genuinely cared about Stella and me. I felt it. Her follow-up phone call and the lovely card I received was totally unexpected but so much appreciated. Please don't hesitate to call Peace for Pets. Dr. Ivey is an angel on Earth. read more

It has taken me a while to write this review. I as I am still grieving the loss my Emma. I had found Dr. Ivey's website and had her number in my phone for at least 2 weeks. I knew calling her would mean my last days with my dog Emma were coming. I woke up on Sunday 9/13/21 and Emma wasnt well. I knew it was time. I called Dr. Ivey and we talk about the situation. She was so kind, and compassionate. I had been through a lot leading up to this day. I had recently lost my brother and mother. And know I was going to also lose my best friend of 15 years was heart wrenching. I asked Dr. Ivey for a few more hours with Emma. Dr. Ivey came that afternoon. She was compliant all with the COVID restrictions and guidelines. We went into the backyard and she explained everything and told me to take my time and didnt rush me saying goodbye to my best friend. I laid on Emma's dog bed with her, my arms wrapped tight around her. Dr. Ivey explained each step. She is just so kind, loving and compassionate. My heart was broken and Emma was now in heaven with my brother and mother. I wanted to hug Dr. Ivey so badly. I was so appreciative that she let my sweet girl go peacefully with me by her side. At the end Dr. Ivey told me to take my time with Emma. And Dr. Ivey gave me an air hug which I needed in that moment. Than you so much for being so an amazing person and Doctor. I am beyond grateful for what you gave us that day, which was kindness, love, compassion and peace. I will always have a place for you in my heart for making one of the worst days of my life, less stressful for Emma and myself and for the all the love I felt during that sad moment. read more

Seeking out Dr. Ivey and Peace for Pets was one of the most difficult decisions I've ever made, but deciding to use Dr. Ivey to help put my Chloe girl to rest was one of the best. Dr. Ivey was compassionate, understanding, and attentive from my first phone call with her. My family and I knew our girl was declining quickly, but making the choice to lay her to rest was so hard. Dr. Ivey asked questions and talked me through how to know whether it was time to say goodbye. Dr. Ivey showed up with such a calming presence. Chloe was always anxious around strangers, but was relaxed with Dr. Ivey. Dr. Ivey never rushed us, and we took our time saying our final goodbyes. The process was smooth and painless. Chloe crossed the rainbow bridge calm, relaxed, and in the comfort of her home, on her favorite bed, with her favorite blanket. I cannot thank Dr. Ivey enough for such a peaceful passing for our fur baby. I would recommend her to anyone seeking out this painful service. read more

I write this review with a broken heart, but I am compelled to share my experience with Dr. Ivey. I lost my sweetie pie, 13 year old Lulu, to bladder cancer just a few days ago. I had already realized that my dog's quality of life was declining and called Dr. Ivey to schedule her visit. Unfortunately, my dog's condition quickly worsened and I knew her time had come. I let Dr. Ivey know about the change, and we were so lucky that she was able to schedule us for the very next day. Once she arrived, she was extremely professional, calm, took her time and explained the entire process. My dog was very nervous and skittish and Dr. Ivey made the process easier by letting Lu relax on her own time and feel completely at ease. This is my first time going through something like this, but can wholeheartedly say the service Dr. Ivey provides is excellent. She brought a beautiful basket and soft blankie for my girl for her final car trip. In the end my girl went as if she were in a deep sleep. I just received a lovely card in the mail from Dr. as well. She truly is heaven sent. Thank you Dr. Ivey, God bless you. read more

Extremely difficult to let my almost 18 year old orange tabby, Tiger, go due to late state kidney disease. However, Dr.Ivey made the experience as seamless and kind as possible. If it had to be done, I'd take this route any time. She even delicately trimmed a lock of his hair and placed it in a tiny bottle, which I hold near and dear. Working with the partnered Heaven's Gate memorial center was very nice, in the most bitter sweet way. They called me right away when my guy was ready, and when I picked him up they included a remembrance candle and a necklace-a gem of a moment in the darkness. About a week later, I received a condolence card from Dr.Ivey-and I can't say enough how heartfelt she is. 100% recommend. I hope I won't be needing this service again-but if I do then I know who to call. read more

If you find yourself having to make this decision for your beloved pet. My family could not have found a better person than Dr. Ivey. We were lucky to have her with us through this difficult process. I could not recommend her enough. read more

I can't say enough about Dr. Ivey - she talked with me on the phone a couple of times, because after the first time, I second-guessed myself and needed more reassurance that I was doing the right thing. She was so compassionate and comforting, and helped me make a very difficult decision. She made it clear that if for any reason we changed our mind, or if our kitty's condition turned around, there would be no problem changing our plans. That didn't happen, but it was very reassuring to know that there would be no pressure if for some reason we had any remaining doubts. When the day came to euthanize our 17-year-old kitty, she made the process as good as it possibly could have been, considering the circumstances. Our cat had no anxiety and got to be in her favorite place, with the people who loved her, which was exactly what we wanted for her. Afterward, Dr. Ivey handled all the arrangements for us, which we really appreciated. read more

I can't thank Dr. Ivey enough for her services. She was phenomenal, she answered the phone when I first called to inquire about euthanasia, she guided us on how to handle our young children during this process, and she peacefully helped end my fur baby's suffering. On a sunny Sunday afternoon in our backyard we said goodbye to our beloved miniature schnauzer. I can't imagine ever taking another pet to a vet clinic for euthanasia. Thank you Dr. Ivey ! read more

Dr Ivey is very compassionate an helped us through this very difficult decision. She had a grief guide she gave us with resources referenced on her website. She made sure our kitty slowly and gently drifted to sleep. She had a special soft Blakey to carefully wrap her and a nice woven basket to set her body in when done. She explained everything throughly. We felt she was very loving and patient. read more

We had to make the decision a couple months ago to say goodbye to our beloved lab Britney. Although we had gone to the vet's office for our cats a few years prior and they were very kind, I knew I wanted to have her last moments be at home if we could. Dr. Ivey was incredibly kind, respectful, and compassionate and helped make the experience peaceful and stress free for Britney. She was able to slip painlessly into sleep on her bed, surrounded by her family petting her and telling her what a good girl she was. It's never easy to let go of a pet who has reached the end, but I feel like Dr. Ivey helped us give Britney the best possible last day possible. I recommend getting the paw print done as well, we didn't want to have ashes but the paw print is a lovely keepsake. read more

The most peaceful pet euthanasia I have ever seen. Thank you Dr Ivey for your care and empathy. My dog didn't show any sign of distress.

Dr. Ivey has so much compassion for our pets. My "Charlie" (a mixed-pit) was in need of her care. She explained all the procedures to euthanize my guy. I would recommend her to anyone who needs her services. She is a blessing for all f us who love our pets. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Ivey and Peaceful Pets. During such a sad and heartbreaking time, Dr. Ivey treated us with such compassion and kindness. As our dog got older, she was terrified to go to the vet. Having Dr. Ivey come to our home, and talk us through everything was a relief. She made the passing of our sweet 14 year old Golden Retriever Holly very loving and dignified. read more

Dr. Ivey was recommended to me by another veterinarian while I was looking for a same day appointment for euthanasia on a Sunday (my cat took a sudden turn for the worse Saturday night). She was able to come to the house that evening, and texted a link to paperwork so everything could be completed in advance. She was very caring and comforting on the phone, and when she was with us in the house. I felt grateful that she was able to help us, and appreciate that she was grateful to be able to help. She is both compassionate and professional, and everything went very smoothly thanks to her preparations and skill. read more

My 16 year old cat, Antonio, suddenly became ill and within a few days and a few tests, he was no longer walking and barely eating. My gentle little baby did not want my touch and struggled with apparent organ failure. My vet was closed and I knew that even if they were available, I did not want to move my little guy or put him through the trauma of a car ride. He hated the care rides. Nor did I want him to be put to sleep in my car, as the COVID protocol required. I found Peace for Pets and something in the way the website was written, I knew it was the right choice and the right vet. She accommodated me with my apptmt. She was kind and understanding of my scattered mind and teary communication. She came to my home and into my bedroom where Tonio lay. She gave him a sedative while he lay in his bed, I held him, and when ready, I said goodbye. She was kind and gentle and gave me space and time to say goodbye. She was an angel. I hated deciding when his life would end but I could not bare to see him suffer anymore and I am so grateful there is someone like Dr. Ivey who can provide a kind service such as this. I will never put my animals through the cold and traumatic process of dying in a vet office on a cold table. And financially it was comparable and maybe even less expensive. Thank you Dr. Ivey for your kind touch with my little Tonio. He deserved the best for all the love he gave me over so many years. I am forever grateful. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Ivey and Peace for Pets. She did a spectacular job from beginning to end. She has such a gentle, loving approach and we felt truly cared for. She was able to come at the very last minute for us when we really needed her, her rates were reasonable and it was worth every single penny and more. My animal was loved and comforted until the very end and passed on while in our lap getting tons of love from the people he loved most in this world. It was so comfortable and so peaceful and was honestly the best experience we could have ever hoped for. I will refer Dr. Ivey to everyone I know. read more

i am so grateful for Dr Ivey and her services. Allowing us to cater to our 15 yr old dog with mobility issues until his final moments. He was still eating bacon and licking Ice cream while the sedation meds were administered. He felt absolutely nothing but pleasure from eating whatever he wanted until he fell asleep licking ice cream. Dr. Ivey gave us all time with our sedated dog and when we told her "ok" she proceeded. she also gave us as much time as we needed after. Thank you Dr Ivey! this was the hardest decision to make and your services helped us through this process. I highly recommend her services. read more
