EXCELLENT Based on 600 reviews Posted on anna k21/12/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paws at Peace truly felt like a light at the end of a very dark tunnel for me and my cat, Waffo. As a first time cat owner, I was completely unprepared for how suddenly and unexpectedly his kidney issues developed. Everything happened so fast, and I was faced with incredibly difficult decisions, all while hoping I wouldn’t later regret the choices I had to make in such a short amount of time. It was only by chance, another euthanasia service I contacted was unavailable, which led me to find Paws at Peace through an online search. I called, requesting same day service and fully expecting to be turned down again. Instead, the kind woman who answered the phone..whose name I unfortunately didn’t catch, showed me so much compassion. I believe she could hear how overwhelmed and heartbroken I was. She went out of her way to arrange for Dr. Yui Shapard to see us that very same day. When you are in such a raw and emotional state, what you need most is a gentle, steady hand to guide you through it. Paws at Peace provided exactly that. Dr. Shapard was incredibly kind, patient, and professional. She handled an impossibly painful moment with so much grace and tenderness, making it just a little easier to bear. From start to finish, we were treated with deep respect and care. As part of the service, I was given a clipping of Waffo’s fur and a paw print with his name stamped into air dried clay. At the time, it felt surreal and difficult to witness, but these are items I now deeply cherish. They have become precious keepsakes of his life and my love for him. They also gifted me Forget Me Not seeds. I later planted them with a small portion of Waffo’s ashes. It felt strange at first, but it also brought me an unexpected sense of peace, like he was still with me in some way. Now, as the flowers are beginning to bloom, they make me smile and think of him. That simple, thoughtful gesture has brought me more comfort than I ever could have imagined. Most importantly, Paws at Peace gave me the opportunity to say a proper goodbye to a family member, not just a pet, in the comfort and safety of his own home. I didn’t have to place him in a carrier, endure a stressful commute, or say goodbye in a cold, unfamiliar clinic. That alone meant everything to me. I won’t pretend the service is inexpensive, and it wasn’t something I could easily afford. But I have no regrets. It was worth every penny. I truly believe that cost reflects the compassion of their staff and helps support other pet parents and animals in need. After sharing my experience with friends, I realized how many pet owners aren’t even aware that services like this exist. It feels strange to “recommend” an at home euthanasia service, but I am incredibly grateful that I found Paws at Peace and Dr. Shapard. If you ever find yourself in the heartbreaking position of needing this kind of care, I wholeheartedly recommend them.Posted on Kathleen O'Boyle15/12/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After a few months of caregiving and a very stressful final week, I was dreading the appointment for the difficult, but necessary decision I made by contacting Paws at Peace. I was unprepared for how beautiful it was. Dr. Goldhaber is an angel. She travelled a snowstorm, was not rushed, was so gentle and sympathetic. She did everything right. I felt no pain or separation anxiety giving my precious Fionn to her when it was over. My sisters were with me, it was snowing out, and what I thought would be one of the most painful things ever, is now and will continue to be a beautiful memory. Thank you Paws at Peace and Dr. Goldhaber.Posted on Anthony Scimeca15/12/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Can't recommend them enough. They helped our cat pass peacefully from the comfort of our home.Posted on Miguel Zamora13/12/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Howard was incredibly professional, kind and patient with our cat’s in-home euthanasia, I highly recommend their services.Posted on Emelly09/12/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very kind and caring service. You are informed about everything throughout the process and they are very empathetic. Could not ask for a better place to put your trust.Posted on Fredo's Mom09/12/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Jessica and EVERYONE at Paws at Peace were absolutely wonderful. Losing our boy, Fredo was so hard on us and our other cat, Frankie. They have checked in periodically and that has helped. I hope Frankie is with us for many more years, but when that day comes, we know he will be in great hands.Posted on Jillian Rothenberg08/12/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everything that is said about Paws at Peace is true. Putting down a beloved member of the family is absolutely heartbreaking work. It’s soul crushing, however, Paws at Peace does a fantastic job of taking care of both the humans and the pet involved with kindness and grace. They let me say goodbye to my child in her home, surrounded by love. Is it more expensive than going to the vet? Yes, it is but the expense was something I was happy to pay when saying goodbye to my baby. They also send check-ins and follow-ups because I’m not just an invoice to them, I’m a grieving pet parent. I hope I do not have to be a patron of their business for many years to come but when that time comes, I’ll comeback.Posted on Jess Bauer07/12/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone that I've had the pleasure of speaking to from Paws at Peace has been nothing but kind and calm. They were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process and Dr. Lander was very soft spoken and brought a great sense of calm as we had to say goodbye to our cat. She was prompt and caring with everything. I cannot recommend them enough to help you through the terrible loss of having to humanely euthanize a pet.Posted on Pam Adams06/12/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It's been almost 6 months since I had to euthanize my 17 y.o. Isabel, and I think I can finally write a review without bursting into tears. There are really no words to accurately describe the comfort and kindness that was shown to me by Dr. Shapard when she came to my apartment to help me say goodbye to Isabel. But I'll do my best. I was absolutely devastated to have to euthanize my Izzy who was dying of cancer. I absolutely could not stand the thought of placing her in a carrier, suffering through a cab ride, and forcing her to live the final moments of her life feeling stressed out in a vet's office. So I called Paws at Peace after a Google search. I liked their website, and all of their vets had kind faces. And kindness is what I desperately needed. Dr. Shapard was just so genuine and kind and warm. She let me share with her pictures of a healthy Isabel. She closed her eyes as I read a prayer that I had written for Izzy. She made time for and allowed all of my rituals. She explained every single step to me before anything happened. She was gentle and tender with Izzy as she injected the medications, speaking words of comfort to her. It was truly one the most peaceful and dignified deaths I have ever witnessed. I didn't feel like I was killing Isabel; I felt like I was letting her go. And this has made all of the difference in my grief process. I hope I don't need the services of an at-home euthanasia vet for a long time. But when I do, I'll reach out to Paws at Peace without a second thought. I can't recommend them enough.
