Virtual and In-Home Quality-of-Life Assessments
Not sure if it’s time yet? Understanding your pet’s medical condition is crucial, but it’s also important to consider how you and your loved ones want to spend your pet’s last days together. We can help by assessing your pet’s quality-of-life and providing guidance during this difficult process.

Start The Quality-of-life assessment tool
Our Pet Quality-of-Life Scale offers a gentle guide to help you assess your beloved companion’s well-being. It provides a compassionate and objective perspective on their quality-of-life, complementing the advice of your trusted veterinarian. Together, these resources ensure your decisions are rooted in your pet’s best interests and comfort.
Our Aftercare Options

What to expect:
Upon Arrival
Sedation
During Sedation
This is the time for you to get in your final snuggles and kisses as your cherished companion becomes drowsy or drifts off to sleep.
Euthanasia
In the final step of euthanasia, a compassionate approach is taken to ensure that your beloved pet experiences a peaceful transition. A carefully administered injection is gently given, allowing your cherished companion to gracefully and painlessly embrace a restful departure from this world.
After your pet has passed
The veterinarian will give you as much time as you need to say goodbye to your cherished companion.
A fur clipping can be requested before your pet departs from your home.
Aftercare
After you have had a chance to say goodbye to your pet, your Peaceful Passing veterinarian will assist in carrying your pet to their vehicle. They will wrap your pet in a blanket, towel, or sheet that you have provided. Larger pets will be carried on a hand-held stretcher to provide support. We will request the assistance of at least one other strong individual at the home for pets weighing over 30 lbs. Your pet will be cared for by your Peaceful Passing veterinarian until they are transferred to the care of one of our aftercare providers (cremation or aquamation). Rest assured that your pet’s body will be treated with dignity and respect during their aftercare journey. Should you wish to deliver your pet to one of our aftercare providers directly, this can be arranged with advance notice. Please mention this to our Peaceful Passing Client Care Team and we will be happy to assist. Your comfort is very important to us.
Memorialization
If you have chosen cremation or aquamation for your pet’s aftercare, and if you have indicated that you are interested in purchasing a memorial product (urn, paw print, or other keepsake), we will assist you in purchasing your selections either over the phone, by email, or by providing online access to a private portal. All paw/nose print selections must be made before your pet is cremated or aquamated.

The in-home euthanasia service includes the veterinary visit to your home, a brief assessment, and the sedation & euthanasia procedure. Additionally, based on your aftercare selection, the cost may include, cremation or aquamation, transportation, and keepsakes.

How long does the appointment take?
We understand this is a tender time. Your veterinarian will be present in your home for 20-60 minutes, allowing ample space and time for you to say goodbye and be with your companion in a way that feels most comfortable and peaceful.
Will the vet take my pet with them after the appointment?
During your appointment, the vet will confirm your aftercare selection. If you opt for cremation or aquamation services, the vet will handle your pet’s transportation from your home and will care for your pet’s body until they are respectfully transferred to the appointed aftercare provider.

What Pet Parents are saying
Posted on Google Ana NoriegaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are deeply grateful to Peaceful Passing Home Pet Euthanasia and Dr. Brooke Manderson for the care and compassion they showed us during one of the hardest moments of our lives. Dr. Manderson came to our home and treated Vito, and our whole family, with incredible kindness, patience, and respect. There was no rush and no added stress. She gave us all the time we needed to be with Vito, say goodbye, and go through the moment in our own way. She was understanding, gentle, and supportive throughout the entire process. Losing Vito was heartbreaking, but being able to say goodbye to him peacefully at home, surrounded by love and without stress, meant more to us than we can express. We will always be grateful to Dr. Manderson for the dignity and compassion she gave Vito in his final moments, and for the care she showed us as a family. I wholeheartedly recommend Peaceful Passing to anyone facing this incredibly difficult decision. Their compassion and support made an unbearable moment a little more peaceful.Posted on Google Caroll ScanlanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There actually needs to be more stars for how I feel about Peaceful Passings and their exceptional care! On June 4th, Dr. Shanna assisted my dearest Marigold, aka Goldie, Golden Bear to cross the rainbow bridge. Such a heartbreaking day was made so sacred and possible thanks to her touching care for Marigold, her brother Merlin and myself. We shared tears and some giggles and that moment that all pet owners dread. Thank you Dr. Shanna for allowing us the space necessary to say goodbye to such a beautiful and loving soul. She crossed with grace and ease, and in my arms as she had been so many times. This is my second time using Peaceful Passings to say goodbye and I will never consider alternatives. Our pets deserve the best when they depart, as they have so freely given love and joy while in their furry bodies. Peaceful Passings honoured the life of Marigold by the respectful and loving care to her and all of us, in the comfort her favourite place, home. We miss her deeply and thank all at Peaceful Passings for the beyond 5 star care!Posted on Google mcduffcoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Graham helped us say goodbye to my mother’s 20 year old cat. Service was fast, compassionate, and so professional! To not have to add the stress frail animal to the vet for this service and letting them be comfortable and secure in their own surroundings is a blessing. Cost is comparable as well. I highly recommend this service for these difficult times.Posted on Google Chloe StewartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family couldn't have asked for a better experience during a heartbreaking time. From the beginning, scheduling a last minute appointment with Client Care was great - Laura was incredibly understanding and quick to reply. Communication throughout the day was great. Dr. Shanna was the best person we could have hoped for to comfort our senior cat in her final moments.. Her compassion and kindness was very much appreciated, and I would recommend Peaceful Passing to anyone. Thank you to the entire staff.Posted on Google Nicole VaseyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. While it feels strange to write a review on one of the saddest days of my life, I think it's important to share the experience I had with Peaceful Passing. From the initial email inquiry to the in-home procedure, they handled every interaction with such care and compassion. We said goodbye to our cat, Homer, in our home on his favourite spot on the couch back in May. Dr. Shanna was wonderful throughout. She explained every step of the process and was so kind and compassionate not only to me and my partner, but especially to Homer. I have been recommending this service to anyone facing this difficult decision. On an already incredibly hard day, Dr. Shanna and the team at Peaceful Passing made the experience as peaceful, comfortable, and dignified as it could possibly be. Homer spent his last day lying in the garden in the sunshine before coming inside for one final snuggle on the couch. We couldn't have asked for a more loving goodbye.Posted on Google Cindi BrennanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In one of the most difficult days of my life.
