Our gentle Process: What to expect

A Peaceful Passing starts with a calm and supportive environment. When our veterinarian arrives at your Durham home, she will walk you through the process and answer any questions you have. There is never a rush. We give you all the time you need to say goodbye in a way that feels right for you and your family.

The procedure involves two gentle injections. The first is a sedative to help your pet fall into a deep, peaceful sleep, so they won’t feel any discomfort. Once your pet is fully relaxed and you are ready, the final medication is given, which allows them to pass away gracefully. It is a humane and gentle process, designed to feel like quietly drifting off to sleep.

frequently asked questions

What is included in the cost?

The cost for the visit will vary depending on the size of your pet, the distance driven, and other factors such as the need for additional time or medications. 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, transportation, and keepsakes.

Will you assess my pet upon arrival?

It’s completely natural to question if the time is right. If you need additional clarity, you may find our Quality-of-Life Tool helpful, or you may wish to pursue a Quality-of-life assessment with one of our trusted veterinarians for further guidance.

Should you schedule a euthanasia with us, our veterinarian will briefly assess your companion upon arrival. If they feel euthanasia is not the most appropriate path at this time, they will discuss this openly and honestly with you.

How long does the appointment take?

We understand this is a tender time. Your veterinarian will be present in your home for 30-60 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 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.

Are you available for emergencies?

Peaceful Passing’s priority is to accommodate our patients and we can usually have a veterinarian available for same day emergency visits. However, Peaceful Passing is not a 24 hour emergency service. If this is a serious emergency, we recommend contacting your regular veterinary clinic or the nearest veterinary emergency facility.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s been a month and a half now since having to contact Peaceful Passing Home Mobility Services to help my beloved cat, Sasha over the rainbow bridge. She was exactly two months shy before her 17th birthday. It was an unfortunate but very sudden decision as my cat was declining rapidly and I could not bare to see her suffer any longer. Since it was already evening hours, I contacted Peaceful Passing with uncertainty as I’ve never done this sort of thing before and wasn’t sure it was even legit, but when they responded back quickly with very detailed information about their services, costs, etc and so on, gave me that realization that it was legit. It was fairly prompt than I expected and even though there was a cost for after hours services , it was worth it more so as Dr. Brooke had to adjust her time for an on call appointment to come to my place. The staff are very compassionate and understanding. I recommend Peaceful Passing to anyone having to make that sudden decision as I did.  I cannot say whether it’s pricey or not as it’s very close to the same price as going to an in person veterinarian. I was and am satisfied with their services 100%. Thank you to the Peaceful Passing team for all of your support during my difficult time. Sasha: Oct. 10, 2009- Aug. 10, 2026.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s taken me a while to do this review … it’s a bit strange to review one of the worst days of my life but I know looking at the reviews helped me when the decision had to be made. I lost my soul cat and it was a devastating experience but Dr. Graham was patient, compassionate and empathetic. She gave us the time and space to say to goodbye and showed us nothing but kindness. She communicated with me before her arrival and helped reduce as much of the anxiety surrounding what was to come as possible. She let me hold him, and reassured me it was the right decision to make. Afterward, communication around his remains was also very good and we had his ashes within a week. I’m sorry for anyone reading this review, who’s facing such a difficult choice but peaceful passing was there for us and I’m so glad for it.

Dr Hooper was wonderful, explained the process well, and was gentle with my girl. Being able to send her in peace in a place of comfort for her was incredibly important, and I appreciate the care given at every step of the way. I was given as much time as I needed to say goodbye. Thank you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so grateful to Peaceful Passing and Dr. Suzanne Gallant for the compassion and kindness shown to our family when it was time to say goodbye to our beloved 20-year-old cat, Tibby. Making that decision was incredibly difficult, but being able to have Tibby at home, in the place where she felt safe and comfortable, made an unbearably sad day a little easier. Dr. Suzanne was incredibly gentle, patient and compassionate. She took the time to explain the entire process to us and never made us feel rushed. We all sat together on my bed with Tibby, and everything was handled with such calmness, dignity and care. It was so peaceful, and we were able to surround Tibby with love in her own home as we said goodbye. We will always be grateful to Dr. Suzanne for making Tibby’s final moments as peaceful and loving as we could have hoped for. I would wholeheartedly recommend Peaceful Passing to anyone facing the difficult decision of saying goodbye to a beloved pet.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Kirsten Graham was professional, compassionate and so kind when she came to our home. My son says she should be paid a million dollars for what she does and how wonderfully she does it. Thank you so much. Highly sensitive, kind and I so recommend this service. A dignified death for our wonderful Sadie.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The service was a true blessing given the condition of our beloved kitty. Not having to put him to another drive to the vet was a relief. We weren't sure of the date because the condition was evolving in his last few days, and the people at Peaceful Passing were very understanding. We managed to get an appointment the morning we decided it was time. Dr. Shanna was very gentle and compassionate through one of our worst times. Thank you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Peaceful Passing and Dr. Shanna made saying goodbye to our baby boy, Banx (a 12-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback with cancer) as peaceful as it could be. It was a devastating loss for us, but they made the process easy and smooth. They were very responsive prior to and flexible. The doctor herself was patient and kind and empathetic. We are still so sad, but at least he passed at home, in his favourite spot, with his loved ones with him, with his head cradled in my arms. Thank you so much Dr. Shanna and team. <3
