After 17 years together, my lab mix Max had reached the point where his pain and exhaustion outweighed his quality of life. I called Transitions, and they were kind enough to come to our home -- which made an incredibly difficult moment feel far more peaceful and personal. The veterinarian who came was exceptional. She walked me through every step of the process, kept me engaged and talking, and somehow managed to steady me through something I wasn't sure I could hold together for. Her composure and compassion made all the difference. When it was over, she gave me quiet time alone with Max -- no rushing, no awkwardness. Just space to say goodbye. Transitions handled one of the hardest moments of my life with remarkable care and sensitivity. I can't recommend them enough. read more

I had a very bad experience with Dr. Hillberg! She came in my house and I asked her if she was there to help me with putting my baby down. She said yes and then said she would need to give him an injection to help him sleep and as we were walking towards the living room I heard a loud yelp and I asked what it was and my roommate said that was Rickey! He ran past me running from her and I imagine he was in pain and he ran around the backyard and then he was headed to the makeshift bedding that I had made for him and he passed out. Then she said he had short legs and she was having trouble with the other part of the procedure and it took her over 45 minutes or so to get done and then I felt his heart stop. I told her at one point I thought we should stop and I now wish I would've. I protected him from pain and fear all of his life and I feel like he died with fear and pain and I keep reliving this HORRIBLE doctor and this HORRIBLE day read more

My experience with this company began with Amanda, who scheduled my appointment and answered my many questions. She was kind and patient. Then I met Dr. Jennae Waney. I don't have enough words to describe how wonderful she is. Kind, patient, empathic. Most important she so gentle and loving with my sweet girl. I have had previous experiences with at home euthanasia and she is the only vet I would return to. Thank you Dr. Waney. Your way of being matters greatly. read more

I had to make the impossible decision to have my cat Sandy put down because she was very sick... my husband made the phone call around the time that they were closing and accommodated us, which they were very nice people to send someone over so late in the evening. The sweet lady who came to our home had a calm demeanor and made the whole process easy to understand.. she was so gentle to my girl as she was prepping her. It was the hardest thing I had to sit through. I wanted to stop the whole thing but I knew it was for the best. Looking back at the whole situation now, almost two months away, I am grateful that transitions in home were the ones to take Sandy , I got her cremated and had paw prints, clay print, and fur clippings made. Thank you read more

This was our first time using an in-home euthanasia service. It was a tough decision and my husband and I debated if it was the right thing to do. When we called, I believe, Kim, answered the phone with so much sweetness and kindness. She was patient and answered all of my questions and concerns, all through my tears and sniffles. I called on a Friday afternoon and booked our appointment for Sunday afternoon. She sent clear email instructions and told us to call for anything. Dr. Justin Altman showed up at 2:30pm on the dot. He came in with a comforting confidence. He sat with us and let our Big Black Bear, Rossi, the sweetest 14 year old Black Lab, warm up to him. It didn't take long, as Rossi loved everyone. He was a gentle giant. Justin saw the large mass on his front left leg and immediately said bone cancer as well as explained the quick decline he must have had. He asked us questions about Rossi's health and behavior and reassured us it was the right decision, we NEEDED to hear this from a professional, as the cancer had most likely spread elsewhere in his body and the mass would not go away. Once he explained all of this, we were ready to proceed. My husband and Justin easily moved Rossi onto his bed. Justin explained the process, and allowed us all the time we needed. The sedative that would kick in and relax him and take away his pain, and then the euthanasia injection. He gave us privacy to say our final goodbye after he had checked that his heart had stopped beating. He returned with a small stretcher to carry out Rossi's body to his car. His wife Robin would receive Rossi's body for aquamation. A three week process. We had filled out the form prior to the euthanasia so Rossi could start right away. We picked him up in Lakeside and was given a paw print and a beautiful brown box with his remains. Kim, Justin, and Robin were extremely professional and sympathetic. I highly recommend their services and will be referring them in the future to all my fur Mamas and Papas. read more

We are deeply grateful to Dr. Altman for the incredible compassion and care he provided during one of the hardest moments of our lives. He showed immense empathy and gave us the time and space we needed to say goodbye to our beloved Pearl. Pearl was a 15-year-old blue pit, adopted from the San Pedro shelter by my sister when she was just one. From that day forward, Pearl became my sister's best friend, her soul dog, and her eternal companion. Pearl was the center of her universe, adored not only by my sister but also by neighbors, the mailman, and other dogs in the neighborhood. My sister poured her heart into giving Pearl the best life possible--home-cooked meals, a remote job so she could always be close by, and a home without stairs to make her golden years as comfortable as possible. Pearl was so loved and cherished every step of the way. Although her mind remained sharp, Pearl's mobility declined, and when her walking became wobbly, we knew it was time to help her transition peacefully. As a veterinary technician with 15 years of experience, I was especially particular about choosing a home euthanasia provider who would ensure Pearl's passing was gentle and serene. Dr. Altman's approach exceeded every expectation. His drug protocol is thoughtfully designed to prioritize the comfort and peace of his patients. Thanks to his compassionate care, Pearl's journey to heaven was calm and peaceful, surrounded by love. We cannot thank Dr. Altman enough for his kindness and professionalism during this deeply emotional time. He truly gave us the gift of saying goodbye to Pearl in the most beautiful and meaningful way possible. read more

I so appreciated the quick response time to my inquiry, and the ability to get a next day appointment. I appreciated the phone call telling me the vet was on the way. Dr Justin Altman was wonderful. The process was far easier than I imagined because of his genuine kindness, easy going nature and his skill. Losing a pet is extremely difficult and the anticipation of the appointment was hard, even emotionally brutal, but the actual procedure was peaceful and far better than I could have imagined because of Dr Altman. Our cat Puffle, was a legend to all who knew him and he left this world in a manner fitting him-- not a moment too early, not a moment too late, but in perfect timing with loving kindness and acknowledgment of how great a cat he was. Dr Altman made us feel like he had all the time in the world for us. As a registered nurse, I very much appreciated the compassion demonstrated in everything he did and the kindness he showed us, the gentle way he handled our cat. He is definitely a people person and a pet person-- a beautiful and rare combination. The little touch--he offered me the opportunity to carry my cat out to his car, it meant the world to me. And I am so glad I had one more chance to carry my majesic Puffle, to feel his weight in my arms. I imagine it's hard to have a job like this...and I appreciate that there are excellent people willing to do this for pets and their owners. Thank you Dr Altman!! I highly recommend this company and this vet in particular. and would use services again without hesitation. read more

Transitions In Home Pet Euthanasia - Veterinarians Near Me

We said goodbye to my soul cat Stanley 6 weeks ago with Transitions. The whole experience was as positive as something like that could be, and far better than my expectations. I had always feared having to say goodbye on a cold table at the vets in a place he didn't know. Having them come to our house was a blessing. I left a voicemail and was crying, which I'm sure they get daily. They also gave me the option of texting, which is really great when it hurts so bad to get the words out. They gave me enough information about costs, aftercare and what I needed to know for the day. I was able to also make my selections for aftercare through Always With Us, and we will be getting those items this weekend. Justin came to our home and could not have been better. He let me talk about how much my sweet boy meant to me, was so reassuring that I was making the right decision and let it go at the pace I needed. He talked me through the different steps (without too much detail because I really didn't want a ton of information). He was compassionate and a great source of comfort. Some of the things he said have really stuck with me and been helpful in my continued grieving. Transitions also gave me information about how to best assist our other cats. They said it was helpful to do it in the home with them there, and to let them see after it happened. I really think it helped them both. Justin was great about leaving space and time for that. What will go down in my memory as one of the hardest days of my life will always be slightly boosted by Justin and Transitions. I am so glad they were suggested to me, and I would recommend them over and over again. read more

I think I am ready to write this review. Everyone we met was incredibly kind and caring from the person who put our cat to sleep to the person who brought us his remains. This experience is never easy on anyone but having people around you who seem like they genuinely care about your pet through the end makes it a bit easier. Thank you to everyone involved. read more

Thank you, Justin for taking care of Bob and giving me the hug I so desperately needed. read more

I've had a few weeks to grieve now, so it's time I was able to right this. From the start of the dreaded call I didn't want to make, Transitions in Home were there to make me feel comfortable to make the decision we had to make. They picked up and responded with my questions in a timely manner. We were able to get scheduled in within 1-2 days of my call. Justin came and talked us through the whole process. We weren't rushed with saying our goodbyes, and I was just happy he was able to cross the rainbow bridge so peacefully and without any pain. UGH i'm tearing up as a I write this. I know my pup (he was a 12.5 lol) is in a better place now. All dogs go to heaven. We really appreciate Transitions In Home for making this very difficult and emotional process for us go through smoothly. read more

The Transitions team made my pet's passing very peaceful. Dr. Justin Altman came in with a calm and soothing presence that helped me to hold myself together at a very difficult time.

I'm very grateful that I called Transitions to help me give Milo a peaceful passing. read more

This is the third time I have used Transitions. They do such an amazing job! From the scheduling, to the promptness of the Vet arriving. Dr. Chen was so caring and explained everything. She took her time and cared about our feelings as the owner and also for my cat. I had to put down my 21 yr old cat and it went so smoothly. Thank you Transitions for what you do!!!!

Our cat was (omg in past tense now...) antisocial, scaredy-cat since she came to live with us, and that was the part we were most worried about. Didn't want to take her anywhere to stress her out. Josh (if my recollection of your name is wrong, I'm sorry...), the vet, came in the house, Misti, our cat, didn't run or hide but was eager to check him out like she knew why we were there. He set his gear up, and quick shot in butt to make her sleepy. He made her lie down, we all watched surrounding her, playing nice music touching her, and talking to her. He gave the second injection in her hind leg vein after shaving a little. It was really nice peaceful ending for Misti. I called around animal hospitals and other euthanasia services here in SD and OC. The place we thought sounded wonderful wanted to charge $970 with individual cremation and the ashes returned to us. Some places didn't let us keep the body (we took Misti to Humane Society to be group cremated for $15.) Another place wanted to charge late in the day fee $170, for appointment after 4:30. Transitions Vet charged me $300 (as advertised on their website) plus coming out to North County fee of $75, no after hour fees nor weekend up-charge even though our appointment was at 5:30pm on Saturday. And I don't give out 5 Stars easily, but they deserve it. I have another elderly cat ‍ and I will be calling them when her time comes.. Thank you so much read more

After watching our precious cat decline and getting to the point where she was always hiding and would only eat treats, I knew it was time to help her transition as peacefully as possible. The meant not going to the vet's office and finding someone who would come to our home. I called Transitions on a Friday and felt so comfortable learning about their process. I scheduled a time for Sunday and felt later that this gave me a few days to grieve, love on her, and prepare myself. Justin arrived and immediately put me at ease. He got down on the floor with me, where I was sitting with our girl, and asked about her life and explained the process. While this was not easy, I felt we were in good hands the whole time and were prepared for each step. read more

It was a beautiful bittersweet experience, Dr. very compassionate and comforting. Thank you, will always remember you.

Losing a pet is one of the worst feelings to ever have in your life. Especially since it was our first fur baby, he was diagnosed with lymphoma and had a very fast and progressive form. Transitions In Home Pet Euthanasia was able to provide us with an appointment the next day, as I had requested. Justin was very knowledgeable and made the experience easier than what we had imagined it was going to be. Thank you guys for helping us with this chapter in our lives. read more

Transitions In Home Pet Euthanasia - Koda (first fur baby) - Veterinarians Near Me

I can't express enough how much comfort Dr. Altman provided me during the most difficult times. I had three fur babies who were my whole life. Three years ago, when I had to say goodbye to my first baby, I entrusted Dr. Altman and I was not disappointed. Dr. Altman was incredibly compassionate, providing me with the explanations and time I needed. Three years later, I lost my other two babies, a month apart, and I was completely distraught. Once again, Dr. Altman was amazing, especially with my third baby. She had blankets and toys ready as I laid her in the car. I don't think I'll have more fur babies but if I change my mind in time and I need that service, I will only request Dr. Altman. Thank you. read more

Always With Us Dr. Justin Altman was absolutely amazing in helping us with the passing of my boyfriend's 10-year old rottweiler Odin. I was initially hesitant in doing euthanasia at home, but I am so glad I did as it turned out to be so much more meaningful. Odin was comfortable and less scared, surrounded by family and friends. Justin showed compassion and explained everything gently and clearly. He gave us time to grieve and process our dog's passing. The most impressive part was when we brought our dog to his car, the trunk of the car had pillows and blankets and simply looked like Odin was just asleep. What a beautiful experience to have to remember our dog by. I highly recommend Always With Us Transitions Veterinary Services. read more

This review is far and away the hardest I have ever written. I am pushing myself to write it because if you are reading this, you are likely in a very tough spot. I want to send you my deepest sympathies. If you are in a hard situation I will cut to the chase. You are making the best decision you possibly can given your circumstances. Your pet and the experience will be vastly better than shuttling your sick pet to the scary vet. It is worth the money. It is truly the most loving way to go about this difficult task. This service allows you to be with your loved one, and grieve in your own personal way. If you have the funds, do it this way. You will be giving your pet a true gift in their final moments. Now, if you are looking for more detail I will share my experience below. It is extremely hard for me to do so, as it is still a fresh and raw sorrow I feel. I am making myself do this because I want to help anyone who is in the situation I was. My beautiful cat Sophia (pics in some of my profile photos) has struggled with FIV. She took her final turn for the worst. Despite my best efforts (vets, heart specialists, plasma transfusions, the whole deal) she was dying and it would be up to me to lovingly give her the relief she so deserved. I was so bereft during this that I could not even call them up. I had to email and text because not a word could escape my mouth. They were so kind and communicated with on terms that were easiest for me. I made an appointment, but as time went by I saw my little love was in increasing pain. They accommodated me, and moved the appointment earlier in the day. A vet will arrive. He will go through the steps that he will take. You get to decide when to do it. It is a very personal service. Below I will go into a bit more detail. Please don't read it if it will upset you. I can promise you that having a vet come to your home is the best choice you can make. Alright. What happened in my experience: Again, I was told the process. I was also able to control a lot of the timing. Once I was ready (I quickly was ready if only to save her from more suffering) we went through the following steps. The first shot puts the animal into a twilight sort of phase. They will still breathe and be there, but they won't know what is going on. They won't feel pain, they won't feel fear. They won't even know what is going on. If you are looking into this service then you know that is a blessing. You are allowed some time to be with them. Our vet was very understanding and did not rush us at all. I so much wanted to spend more time with her, but I knew the best thing was to free her. So after a few minutes, and my last words to her, he administered the second shot. (There are various ways to deliver this to the animals system. My cat wasn't able to get an IV so a shot it had to be) She wasn't aware of anything. The cocktail works quickly. Be ready for that. Much faster than you might imagine. I was already ready for this fact but I feel I should warn you as well. Remember that it is a good thing that it does. During this process you are given room and not rushed. You can grieve and hold and be there how you see fit. Once your pet reaches the clearing or crosses the rainbow bridge (as folks like to say). You are given time with them. Which honestly sounds horrific at first. But I was so thankful not to be rushed. I was thankful for the time to just feel her fur, and grieve. I, don't really know how to explain it. This bit of time is obviously for you. I never thought in a million years it would mean so much to me. I opted for single cat cremation (just her remains). You are given the option to have the remains sent, pick them up from a vet, or pick them up from the business they use. You will have many options to best fit your needs. Her ashes were sent to me quickly. I wish I could tell you more. I think they take a paw print and some fur keepsake... I can't bring myself to open the box at this time. So, that update will come much, much, later. I can't even open up sympathy cards and the like. Safe to say I'm truly messed up over losing her. The grief I feel so so vast. I have no way to communicate it. These aren't just animals, they are gifts that enrich our lives. The loss is so momentous. Even feeling all of this. I believe I made the right decision. This service is so personal and so much less stressful than a trip to the vet. Plus, with COVID restrictions, you might not even be allowed to say goodbye in the final moments at the vet. It was important to me to be there. From start to finish (again still have opened the box of remains yet) they were truly compassionate. My heart goes out to anyone who is in this position. It is so sad and it is so ridiculously hard. Doing this at home really is the most personal and caring way to do it. If your finances allow, spend the damn money. Don't even think twice. read more

I was really struggling with learning I was going to have to immediately euthanize my beloved Cane Corso after learning he had cancer throughout his organs. Not knowing where to even start, I got on Google and started searching. Every place I called was extremely expensive and didn't have availability for the time I needed, or could only offer the in home service and I would be left to fend for myself to find another service to come with the after-care portion. I came across Transitions and they, by far, were the most affordable, said they would be able to come out immediately and had amazing reviews. They also take care of everything after the fact via Always With Us Aftercare Services. As soon as I saw Dr. Justin Altman, I knew that he was our person. He was very knowledgeable and helped us better understand what was going on with my dog and we felt at ease with him in our home. He explained the process and settled any fears/concerns we thought we might have during the "transition". He let us take as much time as we needed saying our goodbyes and even though was extremely difficult to do, it was the best decision we made to have someone come in home to help us. My son was able to pass in his own environment, surrounded by his family that loved him dearly and it was a very peaceful process. Thank you Justin. You are a true gem! RIP Bander 1/21/15 - 1/27/23 WE LOVE YOU SO! read more

Transitions is wonderful. They are completely understanding of how difficult the process is when sending a pet over the rainbow bridge. They were very accommodating to my needs. Sue Wilson was graceful in her words and her actions. She explained the process to me and explained the steps as she carried them out.

Our little dog Snickers of 17 years in my wife's life (11 in mine), would be turning 18 years old in a few months. His life slide down hill quickly physically and we could tell he was suffering the night before NYEve. We called this company on NYEve and they were at our house that afternoon after only a few hours wait and they arrived on time. The vet was so respectful, nice, understanding and very caring to both our Snickers, our Lollipop, and my wife and I while he did the procedures to help our little boy cross to heaven. After, the pet is taken with him. You can order different wood boxes, urns, paw prints, even paw print jewelry. After they do the post service, what you've ordered are shipped to you. Or like us, we decided to go there to pick it up when it's done. I highly recommend their services and help during such very hard heartbreaking time. read more

I am writing this in hopes it provides comfort and reassurance in a time where you feel conflicted with a decision that is so difficult to make. I was blessed in life to have my 4 legged fury baby, Kobe. I had rescued him along with his twin sister when they were only 2 years old. They are MY KIDS. Kobe had been by my side through all life's journeys so when I saw him declining this year (canine cognitive disorder), it broke my heart. Physically he was intact (still went on walks and appetite was good). But mentally and emotionally he was suffering. I look back at pictures and within the last 4-6 months he lost a significant amount of weight. Yes, he was still walking around but it was more of a pacing around type of walk- not out of fun. He appeared anxious, Shiba screaming throughout the day (something he never did), awake throughout the night, bumped into anything, would get stuck in corners where he could not navigate his way out of and would even walk away from me when I would pet him (unusual because he loves being petted and would jerk my hand when I would stop). Yes, physically he was still with me but he was merely "existing" and no longer LIVING It took me a few more months to come to terms with the fact that I was keeping him alive for my sake. Even bought him calming chews in hopes he would feel better but it was just masking and delaying the inevitable. I believe things happen for a reason and I was home on a day I shouldn't have been. I had let him out to urinate. As he was urinating, he lost his strength and fell to his side as he was still going . That was my wake up call and God showing me that Kobe is not as great as what I perceive him to be. I couldn't bare to see him have another incident such as this. Couldn't bare to keep him around cuz of the "good days" I think he has and will keep having. Fast forward: I did a lot of research and found this site. Had recommendations with other in home euthanasia services but from what I read through the reviews, my heart told me to go with this company. I am glad and thankful that I did. Dr. Altman was warm, patient and allowed me to say goodbye to my boy on my terms. Picking Kobe up after he was gently wrapped up in the blanket and placing him in his car was an amazing touch to the entire experience. He never made me feel rushed. The entire process from placing my call to schedule an appointment to picking Kobe up was seamless. Happy to have him back home!!! I am truly sorry for anyone who has to say goodbye to their family member. It's never easy. We will never ever be ready but trust me when I say that the tears do turn into smiles and each day does get a little bit easier! RIP my boy: Jan 2006- Nov 2022 read more

This has been a tough review for me to write. Our 15-year-old dog, Dandi, has been suffering for some time from the progressive effects of degenerative myelopathy plus a variety of other physical issues that were causing him a lot of pain. I knew it was time to relieve him of the pain he had been enduring and to let him go. Found Transitions in Home on Yelp and made an appointment. Dr. Altman arrived on time and led us through the process -- gently, respectfully, professionally -- answering any questions we had along the way. He never rushed us -- always let us go at our own pace, and let us take as much time with Dandi as we wanted. Though I hope you'll never need the services of Transitions in Home, if you do, know that your animal companion will be very well taken care of. Transitions in Home and Dr. Altman get my highest recommendation. read more

We are overwhelmed by Dr Sue Wilson's professional service. Her kindness was felt the moment she entered our home.

His Spirit was never interrupted and remains with us. His physical being - elsewhere. Because of Dr Wilson this pain is now past, we and he move forward.

Sadly, I have needed this companies services twice in the last 3 months (old dogs). Both Dr. Sue and Dr. Altman were compassionate and very kind during a very stressful time for out family. Their services were professionally provided and our pups left this world peacefully, embraced by much love. Honestly not sure how they do it, but I am very thankful they are here to help our beloved family members at the end. read more

It can be such a hard decision about when to put down a pet and it was very much this way with my kitty. Transitions was amazing. I was unsure of my decision and one of the vets gave me a call and discussed my situation with me, which really helped to give me perspective. On the day of, Justin arrived and what an amazing man he is. He also helped me with the guilt I was feeling about putting my kitty down. I waited way too long with my first cat and I was worried I was not waiting long enough with this second one. He shared some things that really had me see that I was doing the right thing for her. He was so gentle and sweet. He held space so well with me in my grief as we did the procedure. It was heartbreaking but I was so grateful for the service provided by Transitions. Putting her down at home was definitely the right call and Transitions was beyond amazing in the support (of both me and my kitty) and the graceful end they offered my sweet girl. Highly recommend this wonderful team of professionals. read more
