Kind Words

There was no better way to honor the life of our dog than to make sure that his passing was gentle, kind, and without fear.

What a gift to have you all and the compassion and care shown by Dr. Marie was just what we needed to get through a very surreal time for all of us.

My baby, on short notice, needed to be put to rest and I am forever grateful for Compassionate Care who allowed me to let my baby go at home and in his bed, surrounded by people he loved.

We are ever so grateful for the service you provide which eases a difficult final decision.

Thank you for your skill, your guidance, and the tender way you helped us navigate this transition. I am truly and deeply grateful.

For anyone having to make this decision, these are the people you want to call. Dr. Nies was so professional and compassionate, she explained every step and did an amazing job bringing our Leeloo peace. Everything was done with dignity. We are so grateful this service exists.

We are so grateful for the services you provide, allowing Spirit to move on while asleep in her own bed. Knowing she was so comfortable made our grieving much easier. Lori, thank you again for your strength and heart. We so appreciate what you have done for us.

Many blessings on your journey and thanks for being so inspiring and caring. Of all my beloved pets, Calypso had the most graceful and spiritually peaceful passing thanks to your presence and your closeness to his spirit.

I have described that day as Perfect. It was the hardest, saddest, best thing I’ve ever had to go through. You made it that much more special. Thank you from Harry and I.

You were simply amazing. You managed to make a devastating experience a little bit easier…I can’t tell you how often I sing your praises when I have to explain what happened. Everyone that was here agrees that you were amazing and provided the most perfect scenario that could have existed.

My Mother and I carry a very special place in our hearts for you. Your assistance last Thursday with guiding Mr. Peabody to his next home was exceptionally warm, comforting and peaceful. Your intuitiveness and warm heart allowed for Emalyn and I to bond tightly through a very difficult situation. I thank you dearly…Lori I will continue to refer my friends, family

I am very grateful to have found you. You were more than kind and caring, and you made a traumatic situation much easier to deal with. It was very comforting to me that you took your time, and visited with Natasha and I and allowed me to share stories of her life. You perform a very valuable and necessary service that most

Although this has been a difficult week, we were both so thankful that you were the one to take care of Buster. We were very appreciative of your kindness and gentleness toward our boy. Thank you Lori for making our final memories peaceful for all of us. I will let all my pet loving friends know that they should consider calling you,

You have touched our hearts forever. I will remember you always. Jim and I are so very grateful for your loving and compassionate caring for (not only) Spirit, but also for us. You took your time, you explained the medical procedures, you allowed us to take it all slowly, moment-to-moment…It has been my great pleasure to call DoveLewis and Dr. Scott Davis

I just wanted to thank you for making Sage’s last moments so peaceful.  As you can imagine it’s been a hard week for Bruce and I.  We brought her ashes home on Tuesday with the paw print, which oddly gave me a sense of peace to know she’s back home with us.  In the paw print you can even see evidence of her fuzzy toes,

Sami and I were deeply appreciative of your compassionate and caring attention to Pepper’s final need.  Your kindness, willingness to talk, and clear support of a “proceed at your speed” approach to ending our beloved Pepper’s life was deeply comforting to each of us.  We will never forget your kindness on this terrible, wrenching day.  Should any friends or family members find themselves to be

I want to thank you again for your services on Saturday 5/29 for my 17 yr old beloved cat Miles.  Your calm and gentle manner and kindness were most appreciated.  Your explanations helped enormously. The time you spent was so personal and exactly what I wanted to have happen when the time came to say good bye to my buddy.

From the moment I made the first call to you with all my questions you made me feel very comfortable, Greg or I had never had to deal with a death of a pet before and we really had no idea what to do or what to expect, but you made it so simple for us and handled all the details for the cremation which

The article in the paper today reminded me that I never sent you a follow up note to let you know how pleased we were with your services. I had always hoped to find someone who would come to our home when the time was right to put Simon down, but you exceeded my expectations. It was the most peaceful thing I could have imagined

I just read an article in the Oregonian today about your and your services. It reminded me when you helped give our Buffy girl a peaceful, humane and loving death at home in April surrounded by the family she so unconditionally loved and protected for 15 years. I cannot thank you enough nor tell enough people about your services. I just wanted

I talked to four other vets prior to calling you, and you were the only one who came forward and showed compassion and professionalism all in one breath. I got the sense from the get-go that this isn’t just a means of a living for you, but a calling. I think of you as a pet soul transition midwife, someone who facilitates and guides families

Since you were here in mid-September, scarcely an hour has gone by in which I did not want to stop and write to thank you for the most kind and gracious care you gave our dog Molly.  Your warm and caring assist to her, so she could take the final step in her fight with cancer and start her journey to the Rainbow Bridge, will

From the first time I emailed you a little over a month ago I knew that I would use Compassionate Care services when it became time to let my beloved pet pass on to his next life. You promptly emailed me back and even called and it was about 1:30 in the morning. When I let you know that I was disabled and no longer drove you

Just a quick note of thanks for your company’s professionalism and kindness.  Yesterday evening Dr. Elaine Stephens came to my Mom’s home and put my cat, Bear, to sleep.  From my initial phone call with Dr. Andrea La Raus, to the moment Dr. Stephens left my mom’s home with Bear, I was so pleased and impressed with all aspects of your company’s service.  Dr. Andrea

I really wanted to tell you how much I appreciated your humane services. Like most animals, Charlotte was not a big fan of going to the vet, and in making this very difficult decision, I took into account that she always soiled herself during those trips.  I didn’t want to do that to her in her final hours, and more importantly, didn’t want to stress her

Thank you so much for your compassionate care and professionalism in the way you took care of my dog Chance’s final moments. From the initial phone call, to the final moments with Chance, Dr. Elaine Stephens was wonderful!

I just wanted to say thank you to you and Melissa for helping us through a very tough time. It was very hard to say good-bye to Bling but he was ready to go. Melissa was so kind and gentle. I didn’t know what to expect but Bling really went in peace. We were able to keep him in his bed before the fireplace with

Rita Smith Once again your services helped me through the difficult process of saying goodbye to one of my beloved animals. I think anyone reading this page has a good sense of the depth of the emotions during this process and what it means to have the process go as peacefully as it possibly can. Although it was just excruciating to let my Nicki go,

Our sweet kitty, Jazzy, was nearing the end after a wonderful 18 year life and a short battle with lung cancer. We knew it was time and our regular vet was unavailable to come to our home to perform the euthanasia. I emailed Dr. Gibson, in Portland, at 11 pm on a Saturday night. She responded almost immediately. She was very comforting, even by email,

I just wanted to say thank you to Dr. Becky for the help with our beloved Lyra last Sunday. It has been the hardest week of my life without my buddy…but she helped us to understand it was the right thing to do for her. She was compassionate and kind, and Lyra even gave us a few laughs on her way out of this world.

My husband and I want to thank Dr. Lori for her prompt visit and thoughtful service when our cat so desperately needed her help. Not having to drive him to a hospital and cause him and us all that stress in his last moments was a blessing. He peacefully went to sleep in my husband’s lap where he had spent hours of every day for

It’s been almost 24 hours since Jess departed, and I’ve already given your company’s name to several friends who will be facing that difficult decision in the months to come, and I will continue to sing your praises.  His dog groomer and I have become good friends and I’ll be sure to give your card to her so she can pass it along to her

When we had to make the heart wrenching decision to say goodbye to our beautiful little pug Thelma, and send her onto the next journey, we knew that she would become our guardian angel.  We had no idea that a living angel would be sent from Compassionate Care, it was you Amelie.

I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know how impressed my wife and I were with Dr. Lais who was at our home on March 2nd. She made a very difficult and painful situation as good as it could possibly be. Compassionate Care for both our dog as well as ourselves is exactly what we received. We realize that you perform a difficult

I want to start off by saying that our 6yr old Great Dane Kita was our life. She grew up with our little ones and protected not only them but us too. We took her to the beach with us not knowing she was sick because our pet sitter had backed out. It was the best blessing ever. Because 9 days from the day we

We will never be able to give enough stars to this company. They accommodated us twice in moving our appointment to an earlier date and time, without any hesitation. Everyone we spoke with was kind and considerate. They could not have sent a better Vet to our house. Dr. Meg McNabb was compassionate, caring, understanding, and absolutely amazing helping us get through the loss of

Enormous gratitude for Dr. Wong. She came in the night and was kind, gentle, and conscientious. Our beloved Dobby was always terrified of being handled by veterinarians, and Dr. Wong was so unobtrusive and thoughtful in her approach that I don't think Dobby even knew she was there. She helped Dobby pass in the most natural way possible, and we will be forever grateful.

The professional and caring team at Compassionate Care made a very sad circumstance better. They provided a peaceful end to our beloved Finn in our home. Beth P., DVM provided a sense of calm, dignity, respect, and efficiency...
