Dr Steve was very capable at managing the physical & emotional aspects of Jack's transition. He was careful to explain the medications in the injections and allowed the process to continue at a proper pace. I gave an incorrect weight & Dr. Steve compensated very well. He allowed us the time we needed to say goodbye. Thank you Dr. Steve read more

Thank you Dr Colleen Your kindness and compassion during one of our most difficult days will never be forgotten. Seeing our sweet boy wag his tail when you so very gently introduced yourself broke us. His illness struck him down so fast and one of the first things to go was that tail wag. It was a sign to us that we had made the right choice to give him the peace he deserves. We will love and miss our sweet Jasper for the rest our lives. Being able to say goodbye in our home where he felt the safest and most loved was a gift. We are so very grateful. read more

what a great way to send your pet to their afterlife ! My 15 yr old male neutered cat, Sebastian, was suffering from kidney failure and Dr. Amy (?) was so kind and caring during her visit. I was able to hold Sebastian while he passed away, looking into his eyes. He was calm and comforted. not stressed out in a vet's office. Grateful for this service. read more

Dr. Colleen, you were so kind and empathetic as me (and my neighbors) said goodbye and shared stories of how Roger, an epic foster-fail rescue brought our little community together. For people searching for the right way to say goodbye, I can't give enough praise for Peaceful Transitions. Dr. Colleen gave us time before she began the procedure that meant the world to us. At the end she snuggled him into soft blankets, and gently put him in her car, leaving his head out for us to pet. It's a kindness when big dogs, instead of contracting a painful illness experience hip failure. Meds kept Roger active and pain free for a year. He felt like Super Dog, but at the end when the meds wore off it was evident that it was time to let him go. On his last day he took a long walk in the park by our house. In his last minutes he was surrounded by loving, petting hands, including those of Dr. Colleen. read more

I cannot express enough gratitude for Jessica and the incredible compassion she brought into our home during one of the hardest moments of our lives. Saying goodbye to our beloved Lulu was something I had dreaded for a while, but Jessica's presence made all the difference. She was calm, gentle, and so deeply empathetic--treating our dog with the utmost dignity and love as she transitioned into doggy heaven. Jessica has such a calm and caring energy. She made sure everything felt peaceful and supported. It was such an emotional time, but her empathy and warmth made it feel a little easier. I'll always be grateful for the care she gave us during such a hard goodbye. read more

We couldn't be more happy with our experience. Dr. Amy helped make a very difficult process much easier. She was calm, compassionate, and explained everything she was doing in great detail to make sure we understood what was going on. She handled our little buddy Oakley with care and made us feel comfortable throughout. Thank you Amy and Peaceful Pet Transitions. read more

Peaceful Pet Transitions provided our in home euthanasia with the upmost care and compassion. Dr. Steve performed his assessment to assure us our decision was informed and confirmed we were making the right decision, then made sure to explain each portion of the process; proceeding at the pace we were comfortable with. Their services meant our beloved dog was able to cross the rainbow bridge with dignity in his home. While the process of saying goodbye was devastating, Dr. Steve made sure our family and more importantly, our Woody, had the most peaceful experience possible. We opted to receive mementos from Woody, having his fur, paw and nose prints has meant so much during the grieving process. His ashes were returned with incredible care and consideration. I cannot express how thankful I am for Dr. Steve and Peaceful Pet Transitions during this time. read more

Dr Steve could not have been any more compassionate with our family if he tried. He was so patient and understanding - and came prepared with Kleenexes as helped us through our grieving process of saying good-bye to our four-legged fur baby, Ellie-Kitty. Our little Torti is a scrapper, but when her muscular frame drop from 8.7lbs to ~6 lbs in less than 10 weeks, we watched as her frail little frame become more fragile by the day. She started rejecting the sub-q fluid treatments and hated the medication for the hyperthyroidism. She had her good days and bad days and that's when we had to ask - are we putting our loved one through all this because we are being selfish or prolonging her pain ... we knew it just a matter of time. While your mind may know what the right thing to do is, it plays tug-o-war with your heart. Dr Steve assessed or little girl and reassured us our decision was timely which put or minds and hearts at peace. We knew then that we were doing the right thing. Dr Steve was very thorough about explaining the process and helped prepare our 8-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son, who wanted to be part of this journey, as to what to expect. Thanks to Dr Steve, our family was able to say good-bye to our four-legged fur child / sibling in surroundings she knew and that felt familiar and comfortable to her with the least amount of stress to her as possible. She wasn't stressed by having to be loaded into a carrier and taken to a sterile veterinary clinic with strange smells, and sounds. She wouldn't have to endure any more sub-q fluid treatments, hyperthyroid medication, blood tests, sitting in puddles of her own mess, and so on. Our Ellie was able to pass peacefully in my husband's arms, who was her person, surrounded by the sights and smells she knew were her family in her own home. Dr Steve even gave us additional time to hold Ellie afterwards and say our final good-byes. This allowed our children to have closure and helped them to process this painful life experience honestly and naturally. Dr Steve's patience and compassion made this difficult emotional situation bearable. read more

Just the best! We've had to use such services in the past and none were as caring and smooth as Peaceful Pet Transitions. Our dog was diagnosed with terminal cancer and I researched the euthanasia companies and decided to go with PPT. Dr. Steve was the vet who arrived to help our dog pass. He was so good at explaining the steps and what was going to happen along the way. Everything proceeded as he'd described. Our pup transitioned in the most gentle, loving way thanks to the big heart of Dr. Steve. These folks are NOT a corporation either, so it was all fairly priced, and there was no feeling of being rushed. It was so quiet and good. Thank you PPT and Dr. Steve! read more

While no one wants to have to make this decision for their pet, I will be forever grateful for Peaceful Pet Transitions (PPT). When my heart dog, Bonnie, was diagnosed with stage 3 Lymphoma I immediately started to look into at-home services so that we had a plan in place, and PPT was recommended by her vet. The customer service reps were always quick and helpful to respond to questions and help with scheduling when the time came. The morning the vet was scheduled to come, I had a talk with Bonnie that a doctor was coming to help her pain go away, but that she wouldn't be here with us anymore. When Dr. Steve arrived, she perked up for the first time in weeks. When he sat on the couch to walk us through the process, she walked between his legs (never does that with strangers), finished her bowl of food, then asked get on the couch, and laid right next to him, as if letting us know she fully trusted him to help her. That experience has helped me find comfort in knowing she was ready and we didn't let her suffer. Dr. Steve was so patient during my emotions and gave us a beautiful little jar with her hair clippings, ensuring he carefully maintained the integrity of her special little freckles for us to enjoy in the years to come. We had to make this decision 2 weeks before Christmas, and PPT helped me get Bonnie home in time for the holiday and that meant so very much to me. If you are in the unfortunate position of having to say good-bye to your beloved pet, please feel confident in choosing Peaceful Pet Transitions. read more

We had to do one of the hardest things any pet owner has to do yesterday. Dr Steve was amazing! He was compassionate and informative of each step. He took time to let us grieve and was extremely conscience of her dignity after her passing he even said a prayer with us! This is a service you never want to use but are so glad to have it when you need it! Thank you, Wo​ldman-Pritchard family read more

Saying goodbye to a loved member of our family is never easy, but having gone through this at a vets office makes it even worse. Our dog really hated going to the vet, so I couldn't imagine taking her there as the last experience she remembered. I did that with my previous dog and swore never to do it again. I found Peaceful Pet Transitions on Yelp and decided to go with them due to their great reviews. Those reviews were spot on. Jessica was warm, compassionate and explained the process and what to expect with the right level of detail. She went at our pace and was able to bring closure to our beloved pet/family member in her favorite spot in front of the fireplace. The only bummer is that wearing masks made it a bit difficult to kiss and snuggle with our dog during her last moments, but the last thing I wanted was to make matters worse by not wearing a mask. This is no different wherever you conduct this process but it's not something I thought about beforehand. So, make sure to get all your kisses in before your appointment! You'll also have options to remember you pet through a paw print and other momentos if that's important to you, which is a nice touch. Overall, PPT made a really sad event something that was extremely comfortable for us and our dog, which was the top priority for us. read more

Unmei; we're going to miss this little cat. Having her last hours play out in her home instead of The Most Hated Place (the vet's office) was a mercy that Unmei deserved. And the doctor was kind, compassionate, and there for us. read more

I have no words really. As hard as it is to look for the right person to end your pets suffering in the comforts of their own home... I chose Jessica with Peaceful Pet Transitions based off the amazing reviews as well as my gut instinct that she was the right person to do this. From the moment she arrived I had an immediate connection with Jessica. She was so kind, soft spoken but more than anything I could see the kindness in her eyes as she explained everything as well as took in our old pup and saw his condition. I was looking for anyone to tell me it wasn't his right time but I knew the truth... it was probably past his time and this boy was tired. During the process she was near and I felt nothing but love, understanding and compassion as she gave us all the time we needed to be with our boy Denali. Afterwards I had assumed they'd just pick him up and take him... nope. She went and got a doggie stretcher. We all gently placed him on it. She covered him with a blanket and secured him. She had a helper but shockingly after everything I'd just went through I was able to carry him on the stretcher with her to her car. Once again we carried him to her car and another surprise... she had more blankets in there and put them under his head and all around him... he looked so comfortable and peaceful. That's my last memory of him and it's a beautiful but very sad one. Thank you Peaceful Pet Transitions for taking away our pups pain and suffering. Thank you for your kindness and understanding of a delicate situation. Honestly as hard as this was and as much as I miss my boy... the way his life ended at 14 1/2 years old was perfect and beautiful. I'd recommend this service to anyone and everyone! Making this decision for your pet is gut wrenching. Jessica and Mike are professional, kind, prompt and truly care for those going through this process. In my opinion...there's nobody else I'd ever consider for something like this going forward. I'm thankful to have found them and when my family/friends are near losing their fur family... there's nobody else I'd recommend than Peaceful Pet Transitions. read more

Dr. Steve was the partner we needed during the hardest decision of my life. I had the honor of loving my cat Basil in his 17 years of life. There is never a right time or a good time to say goodbye to your best friend. I had booked time a week ago but saw improvement so canceled until things changed again. I originally had planned later in the week but then saw all the signs of needing to let my little prince go. I called in the morning and was able to get a later afternoon appointment. Dr. Steve was full of empathy, patience, clearly communicated expectations, gave us space and support. While I will always wonder what if, I will be forever grateful we were able to say goodbye with dignity and at home. I could not recommend Peaceful Pet Transitions more. read more

If you're reading. this, my heart goes out to you. I cannot recommend this company enough. The service they provided exceeded my expectations at every step. Steve (the Vet who came to my house) did an incredible job. His compassion still resonates with me, a week later. In short, do not hesitate to contract this company if you are considering this service. And for what it's worth, the $ I spent on this was worth every penny. There is no easy way to say goodbye to your best friend, but there is an easiest way (and this must be it). read more

A terrible event to experience but everyone was so kind and sympathetic during our dog's transition.

Fells odd to be writing a 5 star review for something that brings me to tears, but Dr. Jessica was great. She walked me through the process and let me take my time saying goodbye to my 2 kitties that were with me 16 and 19 years. She was kind and understanding as I sat with her in full blown 'ugly crying' mode. I hope not to need this service for a long time (as my other pets are quite young) but I would highly recommend this business if you're in need of a gentle and loving way to say goodbye to your best friend in the comfort of your own home. read more

It's hard to give 5 stars to something that is inherently so horrible but peaceful pet transitions did everything to make the worst day of a let owners life easier to handle. The thought of our pug being put to sleep alone in a back room of a vet was always my worst fear, so finding this was a god send. Our pug, Calypso, passed away peacefully in our arms on our bed, in his favorite blanket and around his loved ones. I would recommend this service to anyone facing this terrible time in let ownerships! read more

When my hubby and I decided to euthanize our 4-legged fur baby of 14 years because he could no longer walk, get up to drink water or relieve himself, we knew it was time, and that the humane thing to do was send him to the heavenly fields to be with his siblings. I found Peaceful Pet Transition on Yelp. The reviews were not manufactured, most reviews were quite compelling. I admit, I was a bit nervous because I have never used such a service. However, after doing my due diligence, speaking with Anna (the coordinator), multiple calls, text and emails, we decided to proceed with Peaceful Pet Transition. We opted for the private cremation instead of the general cremation. Anna explained the differences which allowed me to make an informative decision. Dr. McAfee and Mike came to my house. After talking us through the process and answering all our questions, Dr. McAfee made Dozer feel comfortable as we proceeded with the deed. Dozer passed peacefully. We were able to take our time with him before and after. Mike then got the gurney to transport Dozer. My husband helped to carry him to the car, and commented that Dozer was treated with great respect. We saw and felt the genuineness of every step we went through. I can't say enough about this group of compassionate people. If I could, I would definitely rate this organization and it's staff a 5 diamond rating. Dozer is back home now. We will miss Dozer deeply, but know we made the right decision to send him back home. Heartfelt gratitude to Peaceful Pet Transition. You are all blessed with having hearts of gold. read more

Dr. Steve was fantastic, caring and kind. He came out the same day to help our sick 18 yr old cat walk on peacefully in just a few minutes. I engaged via text to schedule the appt. and the care exhibited by the person scheduling was evident. Don't hesitate to call, they are wonderful and it was so nice for my cat to depart from his favorite spot in the sun in our home. read more

Peaceful Pet Transitions was such a great experience from the time of initial contact all the way after Truffles passed and was taken away. Mike was communicating to me via text so I could sit with Truffles while he searched for a Dr that was available. He stayed in contact with me during that time. He also sent the paperwork to be signed via email. It couldn't have been easier under very hard circumstances. Dr Steve was fantastic. He has a very calming, gentle, loving presence about him. Truffles just welcomed him into the house without concern. Truffles was surrounded by many she loved and they her. Dr Steve explained everything that was going to happen and took everyone's concerns seriously. He answered everyone's questions. He gave all of us caring hugs before he drove away with Truffles. If I get another dog in the future I will always have her/him laid to rest in our home. Thank you Mike and Dr Steve read more

My pet and I received very loving care from the Veterinarian. She came to my home to make it easier on my fur baby. She explained the process and gave me all the time I needed. Their services included beautiful memorial items. Overall, considering that Rocket was euthanized, it was a good experience. read more

When we learned that we'd reached the limit of care we could offer our beloved cat, we were absolutely devastated. We knew that we didn't want to put him through any additional stress by taking him to his regular doctor's office with cold metal tables, so we opted for in-home end of life care. Dr. Amy is truly an angel. She came to our home same-day, walked us through what to expect at every stage and was patient, caring, and understanding throughout the entire process. Being able to offer this last gift to our beloved pet was a blessing, and Dr Amy made that possible. She was gentle, calm, and reassuring and made every aspect of an otherwise horrific process, that much more bearable. She allowed us to play music for our pet as he passed and gave us space and time alone with him prior to taking his physical form. I don't know how she's able to hold such an immense amount of emotional space for others, but I am so grateful for her loving and open demeanor. Additionally, the scheduling, paperwork, and payment process was extremely efficient and easy: we did everything online/via text the morning of the appointment, prior to the doctor's arrival. We never felt rushed, or influenced in any way. When dealing with something as difficult as pet loss, filling out paperwork and making decisions is the last thing you want to be doing, but with Peaceful Pet Transitions it was simple, methodical, and another welcomed gift. PPT will also inform any/all clinics of your pets passing, which is helpful to not receive email reminders or other notices from past caretakers. We look forward to receiving our memoriam package along with our pet's ashes in a few weeks. While he will be in a new form when he comes home to us, his energy is all around us and we're forever grateful to Peaceful Pet Transitions for helping us release our beloved King. read more

This company and Dr. Jessica were amazing! I had my little guy for 16 years and did not want to have to take him somewhere that would give him anxiety right before his journey into the afterlife. Everyone was so kind over the phone and patient with me. Dr Jessica was just an amazing vet and took such good care of us during this time. She was patient and kind and gentle. I would highly recommend them and I would use them again but hopefully not soon! read more

Peaceful Pet Transitions made a deeply difficult time much calmer and easier. We had to say goodbye to our beloved cat, and I was able to organize everything by texting with the very kind Anna, who explained my options with promptness and compassion. We were able to schedule a home visit the same day with Dr. Amy, and I was very grateful that our cat spent her last moments in a calm familiar environment. read more

Making the decision to help my boy pass was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, and it is still heart-wrenching to think about. I wanted to write this review now, however, because I cannot thank Mike and Dr. McAfee enough for how compassionate and understanding they were of my situation. I had looked into a few in-home services when the time came, but everywhere required me to bring my cat outdoors, which was practically impossible in a city apartment. Thanks to these amazing humans, I was able to give my sweet old man the least stressful final moments he could have had. I will never forget it, for better or for worse, but if you find yourself in my position, please contact Peaceful Pet Transitions. They understand the pain that both you and your loved one are going through, and they absolutely do not tell you how to grieve. They don't judge, just support in whatever way you need to process the hurt. Again, I cannot thank them enough. read more

Dr. Steve through Peaceful Pet Transitions was amazing. He fit us into his busy schedule and was very kind and empathetic. He made a very sad day more tolerable and helped us have a peaceful and respectful farewell to a very good friend. We were able to speak to an actual human-Mike- who helped connect us with Dr. Steve. Thanks to both Mike and Dr. Steve, we really appreciate your help yesterday and I absolutely recommend this company. The price was competitive, the service was amazing, and we were able to get a same-day appointment which can be so important when you see your animal friend in distress. read more

Peaceful Pet Transitions was a godsend when we had to say goodbye to our nearly 17-year-old dog, Skipper. We were able to arrange an appointment the same weekend. Dr. Amy was gentle and caring.

Dr Amy was wonderful with my pup Morti. He had lung cancer. She explained everything to me in depth and the next steps. She gave him time without rushing the process. I will be forever grateful to her and she is a wonderful human being. read more

What a beautiful and caring service this is. Dr McAfee and Mike were amazing, generous, compassionate, patient, and very skilled. This was hard on us and we had raw nerves leading up the service. They settled us down, patiently explained every detail of the process and even helped us frame our grief and handle things like having our daughter or other pet observe or not. The in-home experience was truly special and while we are all devastated at our loved one's passing, we feel joy and happiness that her suffering was ended in such a beautiful, peaceful, and painless way. Dr McAfee thank you. You are a special person and we are grateful that you take on this difficult work. You do it exceptionally well. read more

There are no words to begin to express my gratitude for Mike and Jessica - the team at Peaceful Pet Transitions. My little dog had Degenerative Myelopathy and towards her last days, it became of the utmost priority that my family find a solution where her transition was at home. When I reached out to Peaceful Pet Transitions, I was immediately contacted about the nature of their service and lended to the attention to detail and understanding of how painful this decision is. On the day of, Dr Jessica took the time to describe the process to ensure that my little dog was comfortable and answered all questions that we had. She was able to add notes for cremation services with added requests. Jessica felt like an old friend within moments of meeting her and though it easily marks as one of the most difficult moments - she alleviated much of the worry that had plagued my family. She's a literal angel. It goes without saying that the level of professionalism, kindness, empathy and respect that was given to my pup was nothing short of incredible. If you are looking for this type of service and are reading these reviews, please do not hesitate to reach out to Peaceful Pet Transitions. read more

I've had to use PPT twice this past year for an elderly dog and cat. They were very responsive and both vets who came out were wonderful dealing with a room full of grieving family members and other pets who were present. It is a tough job, for them, but handled well and much appreciated. read more

Our cherished Shih tzu Bogie lived a long life. Towards the end of his 17 years, he had declined to the point of refusing to eat and drink, so we knew it was time. We had a lot of difficulty locating at home euthanasia options who were responsive. Once we called, the process was so much easier. Dr. Amy came to our home in an hour from our call with the coordinator. Dr. Amy was so kind, gentle, and caring with Bogie. He laid in my lap as the procedure occurred. There was no stress of getting into a car and going somewhere that he did not feel comfortable. He passed in his home where he felt safe and as relaxed as possible. Thank you for making his passing as peaceful as possible. read more

I've needed PPT's services twice now. I cannot say enough about the care they take for both you AND your pet. This time I needed to say goodbye to my 'difficult' cat, of the type that cannot even be taken to the vet's office. The PPT vet came with a plan to keep the cat calm while providing their service. As a result my cat dozed off peacefully while lapping up tuna gravy, in the comfort of her own home and with no stress. I highly recommend PPT for this difficult time in your life. read more

From first contact to when Dr. Colleen came to our home, PPT made this hard and difficult experience so incredibly amazing. Our 16-year-old Borador, Tori, had started experiencing dementia, night terrors, anxiousness and confusion with some signs of hip dysplasia. Taking her to a traditional vet environment wouldn't have been kind for her at the end. Colleen arrived on time, spent several hours with us and our old girl with such care and empathy. Tori dozed and snored deeply, then slipped away peacefully, in her own home and surrounded by family. read more

Having to say goodbye to our dog Donut was one of the worst days of our lives.
