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.

Dr. Michelle treated the process with such care and tenderness. From my initial call with Paisley, the coordinator, to Dr. Michelle driving slowly away with my baby boy, everything was done with such thoughtfulness. I would recommend this service to any of my fellow fur parents when you are faced with the decision to let your baby rest. Oliver was able to be comfortable in his own home and surrounded by loved ones when he crossed the rainbow bridge.

I called Peaceful Pathways and they called me back later that day and set up a time to come to my home. The Vet was kind and patient. My sweet baby got to pass away in my home in a peaceful quiet home she'd lived in her whole life. She was calm. This was the exact opposite from what had happened at the last dog I had put to sleep at the Vets office. Using Peaceful Pathways was the best kindest way to say good bye.

On the day I had to put my 15-year old diabetic cat to rest, Dr. Winnick came to my house and although it was one of the hardest, saddest days of my life, the whole process went smoothly and peacefully. She was informative about the process, but more importantly she was gentle with Omar, and very respectful and compassionate. I think this is 100% the way to go as opposed to stressing your animal out going to a veterinary office, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Peaceful Pathways.

She gently walked us through every step of the process, explained what to expect, and gave us all the time and space we needed. Her calm presence and kindness made all the difference and it was because of such a positive first experience working with Dr. Hensley that it was no question who we would work with when we had to say goodbye to our second baby. Choosing an in-home service allowed our dogs to be comfortable and surrounded by love, and we are so grateful for the peaceful goodbye they were given. I would give 5+ stars without hesitation to Restful Paws and would recommend them to anyone facing one of the hardest decisions a pet parent has to make.

Not only were they responsive, Dr. Jasmine and the receptionist who answered my call were empathetic and caring.

I filled out the form on Friday night and booked an appointment for Sunday evening. They sent a follow-up email stating that they would call to confirm the appointment, and that if they weren't able to reach me to confirm details, they would need to cancel/reschedule the appointment. I replied back that I had to work on Saturday morning, and if it'd be possible to call not during those hours (so I could try to remain a non-functional mess at work), I'd really appreciate it. They actually called me that same night at 11pm and were so patient with me through my mess of tears. On the day of, Dr. Parsley called about an hour prior to give me an ETA and appeared right on time. She offered comfort, explained the process on what to expect, allowed time for questions, and gave us the time we needed to say goodbye. She took a clay impression of Muffin's mixed toebeans + a clipping of her fluffs for me to keep, and also gave us some more time while she went out to get Muffin's basket ready + I was able to carry her to her car to "see her off." It was the most peaceful transition I could have asked for, and I was able to hold Muffin in my arms throughout the process. The email she sent me the day afterward offered support + also showed she really listened/cared, and I received a card in the mail from her as well. I'd chosen to have Muffin cremated so per my request, Lap of Love sent her back to my vet so I could pick her up from there. My world is feeling a lot emptier, but this is the best I could've hoped for given the circumstances. Thank you for being there and for everything you do.
