Losing a companion is never easy, but Dr. Bob made it as peaceful and pain-free as possible. Our doggy was always terrified of the vet's office so I couldn't have her have her last moments in such distress and in the place of her worst nightmares, so we chose to go with in-home euthanasia. I 1000% recommend this route, if you have the option to do so. Dr. Bob helped make this as kind and humane of a process as could be, beginning from the first phone call. Out of the companies that our vet provided us, Peaceful Pet Passing was the only one that picked up to answer the phone. When you are dealing with finding someone to end your doggy's suffering, the last thing you want to hear is an automated voice machine or to be instructed to conduct the initial conversation via text instead. Dr. Bob picked up within the first few rings and the personableness and compassion in his voice helped us through the difficult conversation of understanding the process. Our doggy was a rescue who'd come from significant years of abuse and so was always very reactive to men. I'd shared this background with Dr. Bob and asked that when it came time, that he administer the first shot/sedative without our doggy knowing/seeing him. Dr. Bob willingly worked with us. Our sweet doggy didn't notice, and got to go with her eyes on us the whole time, peacefully lying on my husband's chest It was how I'd hoped she go, in peace and surrounded by love. Dr. Bob helped make it happen. In the last moments, when we carried our doggy's body to the back of Dr. Bob's car, we saw that he had set up a clean and beautiful bedding area, ready to receive our doggy. It's so hard to let go and place your doggy's body down somewhere where you're not, so seeing the beautiful and respectful set up helped make it easier for us to let go and say goodbye. He also coordinated with the crematorium so that we could personally pick up our doggy's ashes sooner rather than later, at our request. Before the week was over, we were able to bring our doggy's ashes back home. It was a swift and easy process. Usually, the ashes are mailed back, but we wanted our girl back home with us. Thank you, Dr. Bob. read more

We have used this business twice for two beloved pets. They are quick to respond and are very compassionate for end of life decisions.

This is such a preferred method when the need arises to euthanize a pet. The veterinarians come right to your house, and make the whole experience much easier. They arrange for the cremation and remembrances. I highly recommend their services. So much better than taking your dog to a cold vet office. read more

We recently had to say goodbye to our beloved 12-year-old dog, Nahla, who was likely battling cancer. In her final days, she was in pain and could barely walk. She always hated going to the vet, and we knew we wanted her to spend her last moments at home, surrounded by family. We're so grateful we found Dr. Bob with Peaceful Pet Passing. Our original appointment was days away, but when Nahla took a sudden turn for the worse, he came to our home that same day. He was kind, patient, and compassionate--walking us through everything with genuine care. The process was incredibly peaceful. Nahla passed gently, in her favorite place, with her loved ones around her. Afterward, Dr. Bob transported her with such dignity and care. It was one of the hardest days of our lives, but Dr. Bob made it bearable. We can't recommend him and his team enough for anyone facing this heartbreaking decision. read more

I cannot say enough about Peaceful Pet Passing and Dr. Bob Linett. From the moment he walked into our home, the way he spoke to Skylar and all his kind and comforting words to us, made it a little easier to say goodbye to our beautiful girl. My husband and I have been struggling over the past few months whether to let Skylar struggle and pass on her own, or to let her pass peacefully in our loving arms in our home with her best friend Rory near her and able to say her goodbyes as well. I am so thankful we made the choice and found Dr. Linett and Peaceful Pet Passing. read more

Dr Bob was so incredibly supportive today. He made time to come out within the hour to help us with our beloved 13yo dog who was rapidly declining from aggressive Lymphoma. He has such a calm, kind, peaceful energy that put us at ease and made us feel reassured, also due to his years of veterinary experience. You can tell he really cares and wants to do the right thing for your animals. He explained everything very well and it went so smoothly, so peacefully and gently that honestly - that is what I would want for my own passing someday if I could choose. Don't hesitate to call Bob and ask his opinion or for more information in planning an at home Euthanasia. I'm so grateful I had the opportunity and option to have him (an 85lb dog) not be lugged to the vet, or have him be in crisis/pain. He just went to sleep in bed with us petting him, and then didn't wake. As simple as that. Sending love to anyone needing to make this decision, it's no easy one - but with compassionate vets like Bob, you are not alone and you have support in your decision on what's best for your dog and their quality of life. read more

Dr Bob went above and beyond expectations when my elderly boy suddenly collapsed very early one Sunday morning. Panicked and distraught I dialed assuming I would get a voicemail at such an early hour but to my amazement, Dr Bob answered the call! I was barely able to speak and honestly probably sounded like a lunatic yet Dr Bob was at my house within an hour! My boy had passed over before Dr Bob could arrive but he still came with compassion and understanding of this sudden and unexpected passing. He took time to walk me through the many options of arrangements for my angel. My boy arrived home yesterday in a beautiful engraved box along with prints of his nose and paws. Though this is a call no one ever wants to make, Dr Bob's empathy for the situation is clear from the moment he answers the phone. I cannot express my appreciation for Dr Bob and his work enough! read more

Dr. Bob Linett answered the phone when I called to make an appointment to put my 10 year old baby to rest. He was informative, patient, and empathetic. I fully understood what to expect when his daughter Dr. Sherry Linett arrived. She was compassionate, professional and validated our decision with empathy. There were a couple moments when I didn't know how to act or what to say to comfort our pup. She filled the gap with soft-spoken sweet comments and light pets. I'm so grateful.

While it was heartbreaking to decide when to free our 12 year old dog from the health problems she suffered with, it was made so much less frightening given an at-home option when it was most needed. Like anyone, we were cycling through different levels of grief over the many months of working with our veterinarian to pinpoint, address, and solve her many battles with advanced aging. Imagine, when it was time for her to transition, having to drive our dearly loved and struggling pet once again to a clinical setting where there are other clients and their pets going in and out, a wait to be seen into a small windowless room, and then standing at a wait-room counter doing paperwork afterwards. Instead, we reached out to Peaceful Pet Passing online, got a very quick response, and set up an appointment time that met our needs. Such kindness and gentleness accompanied the entire process from first-contact to sending our dog off with them afterwards. The technical procedures for euthanasia are the same no matter whether it's done at a clinic or at home, so the differences for us were that our dog was able to avoid a stressful drive there and back (through our tears and her likely discomfort), to simply stay at home with her companions, and find relief in a surrounding she loved, rather than in a hospital setting. She was carried to our private backyard deck that she had always loved so much, surrounded by flower beds, and were able to sit with her on her favorite porch swing while finalizing paperwork. We were talked through each step of the process before and as it progressed, and had all of our questions answered. After sedation and euthanasia -- and for the first time in more than a year -- her body was so peacefully relaxed; fully restful and pain free. Lifted, finally, from the burdens of advanced illness. We now have the most beautiful memory of her final day to counter all the months of pain, sadness and grieving that had come before. Surely, we miss her sorely and will continue working through our grief. But that has been made so much easier for us by opting for this loving process offered in a comforting, familiar, and private setting. Thank you so very much, Peaceful Pet Passing, for your compassion, service, expertise, skill, kindness and gentleness. read more

I'm so glad I found Peaceful Pet Passing. .Dr Bob was beyond caring and compassionate. I needed his help with my 12 yr old family member in an urgent situation. Fortunately, his was able to come the same day which made this terrible time much easier. Other similar services informed me that my dog "weighed too much" or " could schedule me several days out". Not Dr Bob. He heard my need and responded promptly and with sensitivity. I can't say enough how thankful I am that I was able to provide a stress less transition at home for my boy as a visit to the vet has always been difficult for him. Thank you Dr Bob and Peaceful Pet Passing read more

Dr. Bob came to our house and really took care of not only our beloved dog Milo, but of our whole family as we grieved the decision to put him to sleep because his cancer had progressed to where he couldn't walk without help. This was the best option for us because Milo always hated going to the vet, and we didn't want to traumatize him. I highly recommend this service to anyone. Thank you!! read more

Wonderful, wonderful people. Both Dr. Sherry and Dr. Bob are both kind, compassionate veterinarians. When it's time, it's already so stressful and you are filled with so much uncertainty and guilt--the last thing you want to do is go through with such a tough decision. However, Dr. Sherry affirmed our decision to not put our beloved Chilli through any more pain (dying of congestive heart failure). Although I was emotional and barely getting any words out, both Dr. Sherry and Dr. Bob were patient and understanding throughout the whole process. They understood what our family was going through and were very sympathetic. Dr. Bob said it was a gift to go about it this way and I would have to agree--tenfold. I'll never bring our pet to another facility again for the final phase of their journey. Our boy was able to pass away in our backyard and in his own blanket. In the sun, where he loved to spend his time. The comfort of that was so peaceful vs. what happened with our pitbull 2 years prior at a veterinarian office. It was loud and chaotic with other dogs and people coming & going. It felt rushed and a little hectic. Today's experience was loving, peaceful, and cathartic. Thank you so much, Dr. Sherry & Dr. Bob. read more

I had Dr. Bob help on 2 separate occasions with the peaceful passing of our elderly dogs. He was very accommodating and extremely caring. It's never easy letting our beloved pets go, but he reassured us that we were doing the right thing. As heartbreaking as it was to do, his compassion helped us get through the experience and it truly was a peaceful passing for our dogs. They went to sleep and passed quietly. I would definitely recommend his service if you are faced with this and it's so much better for them to be home in the loving arms of their humans. read more

Peaceful Pet Passing - My Nettie girl - Veterinarians Near Me

This was one of the hardest things to have to look up online, but I wanted to take the time to leave a positive review for Dr. Bob & Sherry so that if [YOU] have found yourself here contemplating the same decision for your 4 legged loved one, I hope you find some assurances in our experience. This is the way to do it, without question. Our sweet Pomeranian, Roxy, was a few months shy of her 15th birthday. We had noticed her slowing down quite a bit over the last 1-1.5 years, you could tell her sight and vision was starting to go a bit, and her energy levels had dropped pretty significantly. The turning point was about 2-3 weeks ago when she developed a continuous, fairly violent cough/gag that, after a visit to the vet, turned out to be a host of irreparable issues including an enlarged heart and a collapsing trachea (among several other things). Our vet visit yielded what was basically going to be a oral sedative regiment that would be perpetual just to maintain her current 'quality' of life--which wasn't much of anything since she wasn't getting any sleep from her coughing. After bringing her home, my wife and I were beating ourselves up over what we were even doing and why we didn't ask "the question". The sedative medicine was basically just masking the issues, and while on it, she was a zombie, a shell of herself. When you've had a pet for this long, Roxy's eyes were telling us that she was tired and she was ready. Roxy always hated going to the vet, so we couldn't bring ourselves to bring her back in for a final time. My wife found the information for Peaceful Pet Passing, and while that was probably the most difficult call I've ever had to make, I was greeted with kindness and compassion by Dr. Bob. In a very gentle and calm voice, he explained to me the details of their services and the process we could expect, which of highlight, involved the procedure being performed in the comfort of our own home, where we could be by Roxy's side for the entirety and share some last moments with her. Dr. Bob and Dr. Sherry are a Father/Daughter team, and after a phone conversation, Dr. Sherry was scheduled to come out to our house in Tracy just a few hours later that same day. Dr. Sherry is a literal angel. It takes a very strong, compassionate individual to stay so composed in a moment like this (my wife and I were a mess) and at no point did we feel rushed or guilted about the decision being made. This wasn't just a job that she shows up to do; upon arriving, she came inside and spent some time with us and with Roxy, sitting on the floor with her, listening to her recent health storyline, allowing my wife and I to share some stories about her....nothing about the visit felt cold or procedural. Eventually, she explains the process and what to expect and there is only a small amount of paperwork to handle before things begin. One of my biggest takeaways from this whole thing was Dr. Sherry's assurances that what we were doing for Roxy was the right choice. Guilt and uncertainty about making this decision are difficult things to deal with in the moment, but Dr. Sherry's comforting words provided closure and relief for me personally. When it was finally time, Dr. Sherry administered the first sedative and then thoughtfully allowed us some alone time with Roxy. Our old lady was finally able to relax. My wife, who was holding Roxy, described being able to feel her body release the tension she was fighting to hold onto and there was such a comforting beauty about...in that moment, it was with us...in her own home. After a bit of time alone, Dr. Sherry proceeds to give the final dosage, and while that was so incredibly hard knowing it was the end, to watch our Roxy girl slip away, so peacefully and without any pain...she was ready. She was finally at peace. Thank you Peaceful Pet Passing for this experience. For anyone who has landed here and find yourselves in a similar situation, I cannot recommend Dr. Bob & Dr. Sherry enough. read more

I am so grateful for Dr. Bob, and his commitment to ensuring a peaceful, and compassionate end of life for our sweet 16 year old CoCo. Because of Covid we set up a table in our backyard. After the anesthesia injection I was able to bring CoCo in and hold her until she was completely under, and unaware of what was to follow. After she passed he allowed us time with her to say, "goodbye." Dr. Bob made arrangements for her cremation, and notified our regular Vet of her passing. Later that evening he sent a follow up e-mail detailing where he dropped her off at a Vets office, and what was to follow. We received her ashes a couple of weeks later. I highly recommend Dr. Bob, he made a very difficult, and painful time much easier. read more

I was facing the saddest part of being a pet guardian, knowing it was time to make the decision for my sweet dog to be euthanized.
