We recently had to put our family dog, Rocco, down. This was by far the best experience we could've had at such a difficult time. Dr. Pearson and her staff were so respectful and kind and made sure to communicate all steps of the process so nothing was foreign. While it is a difficult time, I could not recommend this service enough. read more

Everything went perfectly. Wonderful company. Especially at such a tough time. Thank you for your kindness!

Dr. Pearson and her tech, Michele, came over to our home and were immediately very professional and compassionate to our situation. They moved quickly and efficiently to provide our dog with the utmost care and ease of transition. Dr. Pearson explained everything she was doing every step of the way. Scheduling was also a piece of cake as Dr. Pearson and her tech are very communicative and stayed with me every step of the process. Highly recommend! Thank you Dr. Pearson and Michele. read more

Having to put a dog down is such a difficult decision to make. They helped me decide, and were outstanding in the ordeal. My dog died in peace, at home. I totally recommend them if you ever have to face this difficult decision. I appreciate their professionalism, all they did for my beloved dog! read more

Although we ended up going to a local facility on Sunday, this doctor spent time on the phone with me, discussing our pet's health. That meant the world to us during this difficult time. Thank you. read more

We are so thankful for the empathy and kindness when our Golden Retriever had to be put to sleep. Having never lost a pet, I couldn't imagine not doing it in the privacy and comfort of our home. Our sweet Charlie was treated with love and respect and we felt cared for during the whole process. Thank you for your heart for animals and their owners. read more

Peaceful Pathways For Pets - Veterinarians Near Me

I could not thank Dr.Pearson enough. Dr.Pearson and her team was very professional. They were able to provide emergency service and show up on the same day. They were also compassionate and kind to us to guide us through this difficult process. When you are in need, I highly recommend. read more

I am so glad we went the in-home route with Dr.Pearson and her vet tech (sorry I forget her name). This is such a hard thing to do but I feel my sweet dog Brody, was comfortable as he passed. He was a big boy with bad legs and taking him into the vet office would have been so stressful on him. Peaceful Pathways made this as easy as it can be and I would definitely recommend. Thank you. read more

I am beyond grateful for Peaceful Pathways. Our kitty was given a terminal diagnosis due to heart problems and we wanted to be able to let him go at home where he could be comfortable and with our other pets. Finding someone with availability the weekend between Christmas and New Years was a challenge, but I could not have asked for nicer people and better care than Peaceful Pathways. They were able to come on a Saturday and explained everything in the most kind and gentle manner. They came with all the necessary supplies, even a sweet blanket and basket to wrap him up and carry him out in. They also offered a service to get his paw print taken in plaster and numerous options for cremation boxes. Thank you so much for providing such a needed service with such decency and respect. This was the best possible way to do this unimaginably difficult loss. read more

I cannot speak more highly about my experience with Peaceful Pathways and Dr. Pearson. I woke up early one morning to discover that my 13-year-old black lab was no longer able to stand or walk, and knew that it was clearly his time. I asked my vet for an in-home referral, but the number went to voicemail service. I did a quick yelp review and found Melissa; I called and her recording said the best way to reach her was via text. I did, and she texted back within minutes and moved her schedule around to be able to be there within a few hours. She was patient, meticulous, and a true professional at every step. It is clear that she has been doing this a long time, is truly committed to her patients and the animals she is serving, and the overall experience was seamless thanks to her and her assistant. I had another dog that I wanted to have nearby so she could perhaps process what was happening, and Melissa encouraged her to climb all over the place and be around us 100%. I read nightmare reviews from other places about the kind of people who show up (if they show up at all), how callously they were treated, and if you even hear from anyone after they leave with your pet. I received Chuck's ashes just four days after he was put down, along with his paw print and nose print. I am so thankful that these two women were there to be beside me, coach me, and console me during this incredibly emotional time. I highly, highly recommend for anyone who wants their pet to pass in the comfort of their own home. read more

We recently came to the guy-wrenching decision that we needed to put down one of our cats. It was honestly such a hard one, but once it was made, I just wanted it done so she quit suffering. Also, I could not imagine going into the vet's office to do this, as I knew it would stress out my kitty. I found Peaceful Pathways online and truly appreciated a service that would come to my home where she felt the most comfortable. I was beyond blown away by Dr. Pearson. She and her assistant arrived right on time, and she immediately gave my cat a shot that made her fully relax. Dr. Pearson said it was the more expensive drugs, but so worth it as it instantly assured me that my cat was not feeling stress or anxiety or pain. She was incredibly sympathetic and sweet to my cat - just overall made such a hard experience so much easier. Not only was she wonderful during the procedure, but she sent a sympathy card and called as a follow up on me. Overall her love of animals just came through so strongly. I hope I don't have to experience this again for a very long time, but I could not recommend Peaceful Pathways enough. Truly wonderful people and service. read more

I knew that my older dog was getting close to her final days so I began planning ahead. If she was too scared to let go herself, I was going to have to help her. Her love and adoration for me never failed, but sadly, her health did, and I didn't want to see her suffer. She was already not the bouncy, curious dog she once was. I read and read about all our different options. We even tried homeopathic medicine and animal massage techniques to relax her and help her with the transition, but dogs are not programmed to let go. They are programmed to serve us until the end, and I believe this is why my sweet girl hung on for so long - for me. In the end, I chose Dr. Pearson and Peaceful Pathways to help me with this very difficult decision, and I am so glad I did. Her interest in my dog's wellbeing was so sincere. Allowing me to tell the story of our 14-year relationship was cathartic and facilitative more than I can express. Dr. Pearson and Michelle took the time to know her and love her a little before beginning the process, and my heart appreciated that special care. They explained the next steps and did not rush us. They were encouraging though the whole process. It was quick and extremely peaceful. The Dr. Pearson hugged me and excused herself quietly to let me process. I miss my girl, but I feel like Dr. Pearson and her team helped us say goodbye to her with dignity and respect - without fear or anxiety, which was so important to me. On her last day, we snuggled in the warm sun, shared a frozen yogurt, and ate cheeseburgers together. She got a belly rub and ear scratches all day long. What more could a dog ask for on her final day? I will cherish those memories and the opportunity to have said our goodbyes in the privacy and tranquility of our own home and on her own bed. To be honest, I was a little worried about the cost, but Dr. Pearson's services are truly invaluable and very comparable to other home care providers. Ultimately, the price meant nothing to me to be able to provide a dignified goodbye for my loyal friend and to see her slip away so serenely. read more

So grateful for Peaceful Pathways and the service that they provide. The decision to put a loved pet down is horrible and they help make it as warm and loving as possible. No question that I will use them for my other pets as they reach the end of their life!!!! read more

From the first phone call asking about information on this service to the very end I was impressed with Dr. Pearson. She responded to texts very quickly and answered all of my questions. Our dog died on his own the night before she was scheduled to come out. She came the next morning and was so kind and compassionate. She cleaned up the mess that happens after death so I didn't have to deal with the really awful part (just the disinfecting afterwards). She allowed and encouraged our other dog to sniff and investigate what was going on so she could have some closure as well. I don't have enough words to say how wonderful Dr. Pearson was during this tough time. I would absolutely tell everyone, if you think you will need this service, this is the place to call!!!! read more

It was devastating when my elderly big dog Annie ( a Great Pyrenees) suddenly lost all use of her back legs. She was always afraid of her visits to the vet's office, and taking her to the emergency vet would have been painful and traumatic. Dr. K came to our house on a Sunday, and was so kind and compassionate. We knew Annie couldn't go on, and we did not want her to suffer. It was heartbreaking to lose our baby after 11 years of love and walks and lots of hugs, but her passing was truly painless and peaceful. Thank you Dr. K for your kindness and support. read more

Dr. K was professional, yet caring and supportive throughout this incredibly tough, personal experience. Losing a pet is never easy, but this has to be the best possible way to do it. read more

Dr. Pearson has been amazing to our family. As a rescuer of senior pets, I unfortunately know her too well in this capacity, but I cannot imagine my beloved pets leaving this world any other way than in our home and under her gentle care. She is compassionate, kind, and knows what us humans need when this tough time comes. She also makes sure that other pets in the home have a chance to say goodbye as well, and this has made it much easier. When you are faced with that awful decision and know it is time, there is no better way to show your pet a last act of kindness than to call her and Peaceful Pathways. read more

Dr. Pearson came on very short notice, on a Sunday-- which, I believe, saved our dog from a lot of suffering. This was a heartbreaking decision, and one of the hardest days of our lives, and she was supportive throughout. I appreciated her objectivity as to our dog's condition, and the kindness with which she gave our sweet girl an easy and dignified ending. Also professional, efficient, prompt, etc. Highly recommend Peaceful Pathways for Pets. read more
