I cannot say enough about Peaceful Paws and the care they provided during one of the hardest moments of my life. Dr. Chan was incredibly patient, gentle, and compassionate, treating my dog with such dignity and love. What truly set them apart was the entire team...every phone call and text I sent was met with kindness, calm, and genuine care. They made me feel supported and held through an experience that felt unbearable. I had reached out to several places, and I am beyond grateful that I chose Peaceful Paws. I don't typically write reviews, but their level of compassion and going above and beyond during this time meant so much to me. I will never forget it. read more

Very smooth process during a very difficult time. Making a decision to end my beautiful dog's suffering was made easier by Peaceful Paws sensitivity and gentleness. I never used at home euthanasia before but with a big Golden who could barely walk due to osteosarcoma I knew it was the only viable choice and I'm so glad I did it. To be able to sit on the floor and pet him as he passed was a gift for both of us. Thank you read more

Peaceful Paws - My beautiful Rush given the gift of a peaceful passing - Pet Cremation Services Near Me

Today I had to put my soulmate dog down and Dr. Chan made the saddest moment of my life a beautiful one. My dog rapidly declined and I knew she was days away from passing in a painful way and I wanted to spare her that pain. To go from holding her shaking body to holding her calm body while she was snoring peacefully in my arms and then her taking her last breath was so peaceful and beautiful. Dr Chan honored my sadness and truly made me feel supported and she also confirmed this was the right and humane decision. All pets should have this peaceful and loving exit at home surrounded by loved ones. I'm so grateful I did this last thing for my girl! read more

We are so thankful for the service Dr Chan provided to help our sweet dog Snickers pass peacefully. She calmly walked us through each step of the process, which is so helpful at such an emotional time. As many have noted, she is empathetic, kind, and professional. We would recommend Peaceful Paws for anyone that has to make the very difficult decision to help a pet pass on. read more

I am reluctantly leaving this review after a really heartbreaking experience on Friday. We had an appointment scheduled for an in home euthanasia for our sweet senior dog. We were okay paying so much in order to have his final moments be comfortable at home rather than on a cold clinic table, but we had a pretty awful experience. When witnessing this service in the past from other practitioners, a sedative was given to the dog prior to the lethal injection via IV. For our appointment however, the vet explained that a sedative comes before the lethal injection, but instead of setting up an IV for that, she abruptly stuck him in the back with a needle. He began yelping and crying out in pain and frantically running all over our home VERY distressed. It was at this time that the vet informed us it was likely burning and itching inside of him, despite not warning us about that. I went to grab him and bring him back to the couch so I could hold him and she did the same thing again, causing the same reaction. By the time I got ahold of him and brought him back to the couch again to hold him in my arms he was so sedated he was basically already gone. Completely limp and comatose. I tried my best to position him on my lap on the couch while she did the lethal injection, but at that point he was pretty much gone. So his last moments were spent in pain, burning and itching, crying and confused, and running to find somewhere to hide. It did not feel humane and did not bring us any sort of peace about the already impossible decision. We are both heartbroken because he was truly so innocent and sweet and we went out of our way to try to ensure his final moments were filled with peace and dignity like he deserved, but instead we watched him pass in a state of fear and terror. I'm still a bit in shock over how it all went down, but I wanted to share this feedback for anyone considering going the same route. Respectfully, I would look elsewhere. read more

Our family dog Brandi was getting progressively sicker due to old age, and we decided that it was finally time to send her to heaven a couple weeks ago after she had a particularly rough night. We were fortunately able to schedule a same day in-home euthanasia appointment on a Saturday, and Dr. Chan came by within a few hours. Dr. Chan explained the whole process thoroughly before she started and answered any questions we had. It was super sad that we had to say goodbye to Brandi, but I'm glad that services like this exist so that you can send your pet to heaven at home in a comfortable and familiar setting. Dr. Chan was super professional and respectful from start to finish. read more

I have used Dr. Tamera Chan for several of my dogs and would not consider using anyone else. Dr. Chan is endlessly compassionate, taking all the time required in order for me and my dog (dogs) to feel safe. I know I am in good, reliable, competent hands with Dr. Chan. At this most stressful time of end of life care/euthanasia-the need for empathy and understanding for both dog and human, is of utmost importance, Dr. Chan provides this in abundance. The follow up (return of ashes, etc.) is also handled with profound love and sensitivity. At this most fragile time both for human and dog, I cannot stress enough, Dr. Chan's tender handling of all the details. read more

When we made the heartbreaking decision to put Bella down, Peaceful Paws came to our home and showed love to our girl. They asked about her and talked to her. They made her completely comfortable and brought her treats for her last moments. It was peaceful and quiet as Bella went over the rainbow. I am so grateful for the compassion they showed us during this hard loss- including hugs as they said their good-byes and took Bella with them. read more

Dr. Chan was amazing. She got down on the floor with us on the cushioned bed we made and explained every step clearly and made sure we understood clearly. We never felt rushed and she listened to our stories about our quirky wonderful dog, Clarence. She encouraged us to give Clarence a cookie before she gave him a sedative. He barely noticed when she injected the sedative. In fact, we gave him another cookie and he fell asleep with the 2nd cookie in his mouth. She waited until he was completely relaxed before she put the IV in, gave us a chance to talk to him and say goodbye again and waited until we gave her the okay to give him the heart-stopping medication and waited patiently until we were ready for her to confirm his heart had stopped. Then Dr. Chan waited patiently until we were ready for her to gently bundle him up and take him away. It was such a peaceful and loving death. I am forever grateful to Dr. Chan for helping us through such a difficult and heart wrenching goodbye. Thank you Dr. Chan, you are a gift to loved fur babies. read more

Having to let go of my dog, Olivia, was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. She was almost 15 years old and her hemangiosarcoma had taken a turn for the worst. Unfortunately, helping her cross over to rainbow bridge was the only option. I'm so grateful that Dr. Chan was able to help us with that difficult transition. Because of Dr. Chan, Olivia was, in her last moments, surrounded by those who loved her, and at home, in a familiar setting. Dr. Chan's professionalism, kindness, and compassion did not go unnoticed, and she helped my Olivia cross over to rainbow bridge with dignity and care. I cannot recommend Dr. Chan and Peaceful Paws enough. read more

The event went better than expected. Dr. Chan was kind and patients. I'm glad it chose to do this at home.

Dr. Chan and her team are wonderful people. They are good and kind. A couple of years ago, my cat Blixa was diagnosed with cancer and took a quick turn for the worst. I had a phone consultation with Dr. Chan who was both empathetic and professional. She helped me understand what was going on with my cat during a time when I was in shock from the bad news about his health. When my cat's health continued to decline, she showed up when we needed her and walked me through the whole process of euthanasia. She was gentle and thoughtful while helping me understand what would happen medically. This helped me tremendously. Like I said, this happened two years ago. It's hard to write a review for such a sad time in my life but over the years I have occasionally thought about Dr. Chan and her staff and felt such immense gratitude for them. If you need someone to help you through the last moments of your pet's life, I would recommend Peaceful Paws. The doctor is a remarkable person who brought goodness into my life during a time when I was absolutely shattered. read more

Our family had to make one of the toughest decisions of our lives yesterday when we had to put our cherished dog Guinness down after 17 years of faithful companionship. We found Peaceful Paws to provide our in home end of life care. Dr. Tamara Chan was incredibly compassionate, kind and respectful of our needs. Would 100% recommend her to anyone who has to make this very difficult decision. read more

Dr. Tamera Chan provided our family with compassionate, patient, and gentle care during one of the most difficult days of our lives.

She gave us the time and space we needed and treated Bo with such dignity and love. Thank you, Dr. Chan. read more

My wife and I had to put our wonderful Shih Tzu down. She was Wednesday & nearly made it to 17 years old. We wanted to have the euthanasia done in home. The folks at Peaceful Paws made the process very easy, were very clear about what needed to be done. I appreciate that they did things on the front end, so all we had to focus on was saying goodbye. Dr. Lee was prompt and very professional. She was very gentle and kept us informed throughout the process. And she cares, it matters. I hope not to make this call again for some time, but when I do, I will call Peaceful Paws. Mike Tieman read more

Unfortunately our senior pup, who's lived over a year with a mass on his heart, experienced a sudden sharp decline in health, and we had to make the difficult decision to help him cross the rainbow bridge. Because of the discomfort he was in, how quickly it developed, and the limited options offered by urgent care, we decided that it would be kindest to euthanize him. We wanted a company that could do it in the comfort of our home, so he could spend his final moments in a familiar place surrounded by people who love him. Dr. Chan was gentle, informative, and didn't rush the process along. Our pup went peacefully as we all held him. Dr. Chan allowed for me to bring my cat out afterwards so that he would understand that our dear Ronnie was no longer with us. My cat was scared and didn't want to approach our deceased pup, and Dr. Chan explained that often cats understand what's happened, and can be more intuitive than some other animals. My only constructive feedback is that the answering service for the agency isn't the most warm, across the different agencies we contacted when we were trying to figure out which one we would use. They weren't rude, just kind of lukewarm. We ultimately chose this one because they were local, and offered a same day appointment for an increased cost, and we didn't want our pup to continue suffering. Overall, I would recommend Peaceful Paws if you're having to make this difficult decision for beloved pet. read more

It's such a difficult decision to make. It seemed like our wonderful old dog just got old one day. Her body just gave out. Dr Chan was thoughtful, caring and gave us the time we needed to say goodbye. Sad day but our sweet little one was at home with people who loved her. read more

This is the 2nd time I asked Dr. Chan to come to my home to relieve my beautiful babies of pain. The first time was December 2023 and she came again almost exactly a week ago to help my boy Sean who was just shy of 17 years old to leave this world and go keep his brother Moon company and patiently wait until we all meet again. I can not say enough about Dr. Chan and the people she has assisting her. She is so soft spoken while she guides you through the process. She is gentle, patient, gives you space and all the time you need to let go. She is respectful of your baby's body and I felt both times that I could trust her explicitly. I'm so grateful for you Dr. Chan. You offer such an important service and have such a gift of putting people at ease during such a difficult time. You are the best at what you do but I hope I don't see you again for a very long time:) read more

Our dog's health took a sudden turn and we didn't want her last hours to be in a vet's office. We had a technician here in a few hours and the whole experience was incredibly thoughtful and loving. Our dog's last moments were definitely filled with love and care in our living room. Thank you so much! read more

We wanted in-home euthanasia for our beloved cat Yuzu. We found Peaceful Paws here on Yelp. We appreciated Dr. Chan's professionalism and demeanor. I meant to write a positive review here for Dr. Chan. 9 months later, we just needed another euthanasia for Anneka. Once again, we contacted Peaceful Paws. Highly recommend. read more

When I had to put my Pumpkin to sleep I made two good decisions. 1) I had it done at home where she could lay on her favorite spot on the coach and be surrounded by love instead of a sterile vets office she was terrified of. 2) I had it facilitated by Dr Chan at Peaceful Paws LA. She was extremely easy to contact via text message and I was able to get a same day appointment so my Pumpkin wouldn't suffer longer than she had to. I was turned down for a same day appointment by several other places I contacted. Dr Chan was so kind and understanding. I've never had to put a pet to sleep but she explained everything clearly so we knew what to expect. It was the most peaceful transition we could have hoped for. I cannot recommend Peaceful Paws LA and Dr Chan highly enough. If I'm ever in the unfortunate circumstance again she will be my first call. read more

This was the first time we have used a service like this. Although it was a tough decision to take the next step, everyone from the first phone call to Dr Chan helped us through the process. They were all so compassionate and I highly recommend using them. read more

I am forever grateful to Dr Chan for working us in her schedule at the last minute. Our beautiful GS, Bentley, could no longer get up on his own. Dr Chan came to our house and was so kind. My sister wanted to be here and Dr Chan kindly waited for her arrival. The entire experience was so beautiful, yet so sad. We did it in our home, with my family and Dr Chan was so comforting and explained everything. I would highly recommend Dr Chan over any vet office. Thank you so much, Dr. Chan! read more

My neighbors elderly dog passed away and i called this crematorium for their service. They came to the house in a van with a beautiful doggie bed in the back to place the deceased pet. They were very professional and caring for my neighbors loss. They brought the ashes in a beautiful redwood box with his picture on it. If you need their help with your pet I highly recommend them read more

Our 14-year-old dog needed to be euthanized on very short notice. The office staff were kind and considerate. I knew the price beforehand as well as the process. Once I got there I was greeted warmly by the vet and staff. The process of course was heartbreaking but I can't imagine a better place to have said goodbye to my best friend. Prices were very reasonable. read more

We used Peaceful Paws LA yesterday, it was time to say goodbye to our sweet, beloved Chloe. Chloe was a 15 years old Dudley Labrador, she was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma cancer as well as severe arthritis to her hind legs, so she was running out of time. I battled with making the appointment, I felt awful, it was as if I was putting an expiration date on my beloved Chloe. I had a vet friend come to take a look at her, and my friend told me that Chloe was not going to make much longer. Putting my sadness and feelings of guilt aside I made the appointment with Peaceful Paws LA. It was the best decision for such a sad situation, when I made the appointment I was treated with kindness and understanding. Dr. Chan arrived at our house and fully explained the procedure, she was kind, compassionate, and understanding. She made an awful situation more bearable, and we were able to be with our beloved Chloe, touching her, kissing her until she left this world. I am so thankful to Dr. Chan and her staff for all that they did for us, and for allowing Chloe to cross the rainbow bridge peacefully. We will be forever grateful. read more

This past weekend we said goodbye to our grand ol' gal, Boingo. Anywhere between 18-21 years old, we always joked that she was immortal. However, the reality was that it was finally time for our daughter, our grandma dog, to rest. Dr. Chan was wonderful - kind, compassionate, and sweet. She walked us through the process, reassured us, and was sure to provide us with ample time to say goodbye. Thank you so much for helping our Boingo cross over the Rainbow Bridge. My husband and I appreciate you so much and the services you provide! read more

Although my dog was almost 15-I was not prepared for the day that I needed to euthanize him. On Thursday he was in great shape, happy eating active. I thought I had more time...And then on Friday- everything changed. He was almost non responsive. Not in pain-but he was clearly not going to make it to his 15th birthday the next week. None of the vets that I normally use could come to my home and I did not want to add to my beautiful boy's stress and fear by taking him into a hospital during covid, where they would either not allow me in-or he would be surrounded by strangers smells and noises that would be frightening. When you need this service is not the time to be looking for it. Lesson learned. After what seemed like dozens of messages left to so many places-we finally got through to this facility-and we had the wonderful Dr Tamera Chan come to our home and help us say goodbye to my best friend. She was kind, patient, soft spoken, slow and easy. She treated Zack and us with the utmost respect and care and then took my beautiful boi away respectfully, and gently. I cannot recommend Dr Chan more highly read more

Though the circumstances were terrible, Dr. Chan was professional and lovely and I was able to schedule last minute.

They were easy to get a hold of which made the process that much easier. We had to say goodbye to our beautiful boy, Shukie. He was at his end of life period and fell and may have broken his leg...We comforted him until Peaceful Paws was able to come. Dr. Chan was right on time and very courteous and thoughtful to our needs and our dogs needs. I believe that he went very peacefully dreaming of seeing us again one day in Heaven! Thanks again for doing such a good job for all of us. This is such a better way then taking them to the vets and doing it over there. Our dog didn't seem bothered at all and was comfortable in his own home surrounded by all who love him. read more

Dr. Chan was great. She came into our home to put our dog to sleep. She was very comforting both to us and our dog. She made sure he was comfortable. She sat down with him. She took care of it where we thought it would be best. She gave a little time after before taking him. Then a few days later she sent us a hand written consolation card. She was great. read more

I cannot recommend Peaceful Paws LA and Dr. Chan enough. From the beginning communication with the admin person, straight through to Dr. Chan, they were both incredibly compassionate, caring, and thoughtful. Our 4 year old Boxer had an aggressive form of cancer and she took a turn for the worse in 48 hours. We had already scheduled an appointment with Dr. Chan, but they graciously moved up our appointment as we did not want our girl to suffer anymore. We have three teen children and Dr. Chan was so wonderful about explaining everything, answering their questions, and giving our family privacy and space to grieve. She was so gentle and loving with our sweet girl and we are grateful that she made this incredibly difficult time as manageable as possible. Thank you to Dr. Chan and Peaceful Paws for not only what you do, but how you do it. read more

My tortoiseshell calico Turtle had been struggling with Chronic Kidney Failure for over half a year. After Two major hospitalizations, she stopped responding to at-home treatment. Her last couple checkups showed her values were going up again and we made her comfortable and let her do whatever she wanted until the day she was ready to go. Originally we were going to take her in to see the vet that has seen her through her illness, but the idea of taking my baby girl at the end of her life to a stressful and unfamiliar place tore me up inside. Dr. Lottati at TrueCare suggested Dr. Tamera Chan for helping her pass at home. I reached out and scheduled an appointment through their website and got a confirmation early the next day since we scheduled after business hours. Dr. Chan was scheduled to show up at 3:00 and showed up almost on the dot. She was very gentle, informative, incredibly sweet and I really don't think I could have shared that experience with anyone else. She prepared us for everything and even gave us the option to spend more time with her after she passed. We decided it hurt us more to see her gone, so Dr. Chan took her. I immediately got a sweet message and a link for mementos and how to take care of her remains. Again, they didn't make me feel rushed. They gave me a couple days to grieve before making my decision on how to honor her. They have a lot of options for urns and necklaces for holding ashes. I decided on a little heart-shaped urn and a necklace to keep her close. (I will try to remember to post pictures when we have received them.) Overall, as painful as the experience was, it was made so much easier by Noelle and Dr. Chan. I would never wish anyone had to experience the loss of a loved one ever, but if the situation arises, I highly recommend Peaceful Paws LA for taking care of it at home. Sending all my love to anyone going through this right now. read more

Thank you Dr. Chan. You came gently into our home, respected our pain, and skillfully put our sweet little boy to rest.

We can't thank you enough read more

Dr. Chan is simply stellar, professional in every way, and impeccably prepared. In a panic, we sought Dr. Chan's services as an emergency for our beloved senior pit bull. She and her staff were exceptionally responsive and her very calm and gentle demeanor made this heartbreaking event as gentle, kind, and smooth as possible. Monkey left us peacefully and comfortably. It was such a relief to have a veterinarian who was so competent and prepared to walk us through this heart wrenching situation, with immense tenderness and professionalism. So grateful for her and her services. read more

Dr. Chan deserves 10 stars. We've had dogs euthanized over the years, as it became necessary. But never witnessed such a genuinely compassionate, careful and painless procedure as we witnessed with our dog today. No painful IM injection, and great care and time taken to insure that it was a peaceful event with no stress or anxiety for the dog. So fortunate to have found her on such short notice on a weekend. read more

We had to make the toughest decision that any pet owner makes and Peaceful Paws was recommended by one of our vets. We were able to make the appointment same day, and the vet that came to our home, Dr. Chan was compassionate, and kind. When she took our baby away, she wrapped her and carried her with reverence. And, it meant so much to have her treated with kindness and care during her last moments on earth. The process is very streamlined, and that is wonderful given that most of us are going through a very emotional time when we say goodbye. read more
