Families receive clear explanations of each step, time for goodbyes, and post-procedure support. This service prioritizes minimizing anxiety for both pets and owners.

Pet hospice care focuses on maintaining quality of life for terminally ill animals. We develop customized pain management plans, monitor mobility needs, and provide nutritional guidance.

Dr. Westbrook responded quickly to our text and took our call as we knew the dreaded day was near to say goodbye to our beloved MaltiPoo, Gigi. We wanted the experience to be as gentle and compassionate as possible. Dr. Westbrook spent more than 20 minutes listening to our concerns about timing and offering the kindest and most considerate thoughts about our personal situation. She was patient and understood how we felt so we scheduled the visit. Sadly, two days before our appointment, Gigi passed away in the ER.

It was so traumatic and the opposite of what we had hoped and prayed. Although we never got to meet Dr. Westbrook in person, we wanted to give her the highest recommendation. We believe her service is priceless, after all, our companions are beloved family members.

We have used Loving Paws three times over the last 10 years for our cats. The peace of mind we have gotten from being able to let them go at home is beyond measure. Dr. Westbrook is punctual, professional, caring, and compassionate. We have recommended her services to several friends who have also used her and have sang her praises as well. We are so glad we have her to help us through really difficult decisions and times in a peaceful, respectful manner.

I've had to utilize Dr. Westbrook's services a title of 4 times over the last 10 years and I won't use anyone else. She is professional, very compassionate and gives you as much time before and after to be with your pet as you need. All 4 of my babies passed while lying on my stomach on the sofa, just like any normal day. There was no stress of taking a sick and dying beloved pet to a veterinary office. She even makes the arrangements to have them picked up for cremation or burial. She's fantastic.

Dr Westbrook is so calm and soothing. Made me feel good with my decision on euthanasia. Gave me lots of time before and after to love on my heart dog Sammy. Forever grateful for her professionalism and TLC

Dr. Westbrook went above and beyond to help me with my dog. Her knowledge and expertise were just what I needed to hear to be able to let him go. Not only that, but when his health took a quick turn for the worse, she came immediately to help me. I am so thankful and appreciative that she was able to guide me through such a hard time. It was truly a time of need and she was right there.

As has been said in other reviews, if I could give 10 stars - I would! Incredible Vet who was exceptionally caring and compassionate in such a sad and difficult situation. From the call to prepare prior to coming to the house, to the soft touch to my mother's cat, assurances and support for our decision given the deterioration in health of a 14 year old Ragdoll - all was appreciated more than I have words to express. The understanding and after-care that acknowledged the grief associated with the loss of a beloved pet was so helpful. Thank you! Thank you!

If I could give ten stars I would. the compassionate and competent care given by Dr. Westbrook so impressed us. having our sweet girl, who was suffering in immense pain at home, in familiar surroundings with us at her side through this was invaluable. The humane touches to her care truly made us more comfortable throughout the process. I would definitely highly recommend without hesitation

I am so thankful I found Dr. Westbrook. She made a difficult time much easier. Dr. Westbrook was patient and kind, explaining the entire process and allowing as much time as we needed to say goodbye. It was such a relief to offer my little kitty peace in his own space without the trauma of a vet visit (he had severe anxiety outside of the home). It was well worth it and I'm very grateful to her for her service and attentiveness.

You never want to have to make the phone call, to arrange for someone to come to your house to put your dog down. But I'm glad I picked at home and Dr. Westbrook was the one to help. She took the time to explain the procedure, and the time frame of each step. She answered all my questions and even shared stories. She was very sweet to my dog, letting her feel calm and not have anything to fear. Nothing felt rushed for a minute, I was able to give my puppy the love through it all. She also explained how to help my other dog with the process. Thank you for making such a hard time a little easier.

My Gigi was having terrible seizures - up to 5 times a day. She was 15 years old and my husband and I made the very difficult decision to let her go. Dr. Westbrook came to our home and helped me through the entire process. I HIGHLY recommend her if you have a pet that you have to let go. She is kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. She is exactly the kind of vet you want in your home for your pet's final moments.

Loving Paws was the best way that we could lay our sweet Buddy to rest. We were in the comfort of our own home and he wasn't in an unfamiliar place. Dr. Westbrook was very kind and walked us through exactly what she was doing. Having to put a pet down isn't something that anyone wants to do, but I believe this is the best way to do it. Thank you Dr. Westbrook for your kindness.

Dr. Westbrook was as professional and compassionate as you could possible want for such a difficult time. She was brilliant. Having a compassionate, competent professional come to your house to make the event so much less stressful is an almost priceless act. I will definitely seek her services again when my other dog is ready to move on.
