My family and I felt it was time for our pup to say goodbye. I submitted an inquiry through their…read morewebsite and received a call from Brittany within about 15 minutes. Brittany was compassionate and a pleasure to deal with. After confirming some information, she set up an appointment for Dr. Michelle to visit our house the following day. Dr. Michelle arrived on time and she was extremely professional, compassionate & caring. We spent some time talking about our pups life with her. She explained the whole process to our family and never made us feel rushed. She did everything on our schedule, which made the process of saying goodbye the best case scenario. Dr. Michelle then transported our pup to a crematory in Sacramento. His ashes were then shipped back to us in a beautiful urn. Although this process is very difficult for any family, Lap of Love made it extremely easy for our family. Any time I spoke with someone on the phone, you could hear and feel the compassion they have. If you find yourself in this situation with your pet, you will not regret choosing Lap of Love.

Choosing in-home euthanasia was difficult, but Peaceful Pathways made it as gentle and peaceful an experience as we could have hoped for. From our very first phone call, Amy was warm, patient, and genuinely caring as she helped us set up the appointment. We weren't sure we were making the right decision, and she answered all our questions with kindness and reassurance during a really uncertain time. When Dr. Jenn Winnick arrived, her compassion was immediately evident. She took the time to explain everything and assured us we were doing the right thing for Simba. She treated Simba with such gentle care and created a calm, loving atmosphere for her final moments. Her kindness turned an unbearably sad day into one filled with peace and dignity for our sweet girl. We are forever grateful to Dr. Winnick and Amy for helping us say goodbye to Simba in the comfort of her own home, surrounded by love. If you're facing this difficult decision, I cannot recommend Peaceful Pathways highly enough.

This is the review I have been holding off for a while…read more Today marks 6 months since we used this service. This has been the most difficult and saddest decision we've had to make. When I contacted Restful Paws, I didn't know what to expect. In fact, I felt bad crying on the phone because I couldn't imagine trying to talk to someone like me at that moment. But the staff couldn't be more understanding and supportive. Unlike making end of life decisions for your fur baby, the process of scheduling this appointment was very easy. Restful Paws asked all the right questions, set the expectations, and made this process that much easier. And on the day of, Dr. Ami arrived promptly at the scheduled time. She was very caring and understanding, and she put all of us at ease. We could not have asked for a better last day for our Sodapop. I'm thankful that we reached out to restful pause, and grateful that they were able to come to our house to help us get through this phase. Weeks later, we received a card from Dr. Ami sending us her condolences. Thank you, Restful Paws, for doing the service that you do. I'm sure it's not easy, and I can only imagine how sad it is to do this on a daily basis. Thank you so much!

My family and I had to make the hardest decision as a pet owner and put our long lived Christy…read moredown. From calling to make an appointment, receiving reminder emails, and day of texts from our vet, each step was handled with so much compassion. We were able to find a weekend availability which was best scenario so everyone could attend. Dr. Vine was very punctual the day of and gave us a thorough breakdown of what to expect (pain reliever, anesthesia, and euthanasia). We didn't feel rushed at any point, and we were given ample time before proceeding to each stage. She was very respectful and the process was smooth. After the euthanasia, we were able to choose where we wanted the fur clippings. The paw print was perfectly imprinted with Christy's name, which added such a sweet personal touch. We chose to pickup Christy's ashes at Sage, and it was quick. The only thing is it felt very jarring going to an animal hospital filled with so many people and dogs. Considering this was only 2 weeks after the euthanasia, I was still grieving and it was difficult being in that environment so soon. The only feedback I'd give is it'd be more mindful if there was a separate pickup location away from everyone else for more privacy. Dr. Vine sent a sympathy card as well and it was very sweet. Thank you so much for giving Christy such a respectful experience and having her pass comfortably and peacefully. I will definitely recommend this organization to loved ones! Thank you Dr. Vine for such a smooth experience. You made this process much easier and we were able to focus on grieving afterwards. Rest in peace, sweet Christy!

There are no words to adequately describe how difficult it is to say goodbye to a beloved pet, but…read moreI hope I can adequately describe how grateful we are for Dr. Sam Counts. Having to say goodbye to our sweet Mini Australian Shepherd, Magic, was one of the hardest days of our lives. From the moment Dr. Sam arrived, she treated both us and Magic with extraordinary compassion, patience, and respect. She explained every step of the process, answered our questions without ever making us feel rushed, and gave us all the time we needed. Her calm, gentle presence turned what could have been an overwhelmingly stressful experience into one filled with peace and dignity. After Magic passed, Dr. Sam lovingly wrapped him in a blanket embroidered with the words "Love and Dignity." Those weren't just words - they reflected exactly how she cared for him. We chose private cremation, and when it was time for Dr. Sam to take Magic with her, my husband carried him to her vehicle. I expected it to be a simple transfer into the back of a car. Instead, the rear of her vehicle had been thoughtfully prepared. It was beautifully arranged with flowers, and Magic was gently laid in the center with the same care and reverence that had been shown throughout the entire visit. It reminded me of a hearse - not because it was sad, but because it conveyed something so important: this wasn't just the body of "another dog." This was a cherished member of our family who mattered, and he was treated that way until the very end. That moment will stay with me forever. If you are facing one of the most heartbreaking decisions a pet owner can make, I cannot recommend Dr. Sam Counts and Lap of Love highly enough. They didn't just help Magic leave this world peacefully - they honored his life, our love for him, and the bond we shared. For that, we will always be grateful.
