Please be aware for when considering destination, a location that provides appropriate privacy and closeness to our vehicle is necessary. We have performed end of life services at the beach, in a park, at the entrance to a favorite hiking trail, at a barn, in a garden, at the grave site of a fallen soldier, and at a church. Whatever setting provides the most peaceful transition for your pet, we will do our best to accommodate.

We offer 60-minute in-home quality of life exams. The hardest decision to make with end of life care is the appropriate time frame.
