I used Beloved Companions for both at-home euthanasia with one of their veterinarian partners and private pet cremation services. Dr. Eva was extremely easy to work with. We scheduled a home vet visit in West Hartford to put down my dog over the phone, she was extremely kind and mindful of our needs while my dog died, explained everything clearly, and asked for consent during different phases of the process. Dave and Peaches were also very kind and helpful in coordinating my dog's remains. The staff they sent to my apartment were kind and thoughtful, and we received my dog's cremated ashes in a small brass and wooden box (as well as a clay pay print and certificate of private cremation) from their Avon location the next day. Note that you *will* have to speak with both Beloved Companions and one of their at home vets separately if you want both services, but the day-of everything is coordinated seamlessly. I would absolutely recommend Beloved Companions for both mobile in-home pet euthanasia and for local pet cremation. The cost was higher than at the standard vet, but being able to have an amazing final memory and knowing I received my dog's ashes (not the ashes from a communal cremation) helped us tremendously.

professional, comforting, and accommodating during a terrible time of losing my animal

I returned home after midnight early Tuesday morning to find that my AmStaff had died while I was out. I was devastated and did not know what to do. I did not know who to call. I googled and found Beloved Companions. Someone answered the call at 1 am. They learned about my needs. I finished that call and within 5 minutes Peaches called me back. She listened to me through my uncontrolled tears to learn what I needed and had affordable options. She talked me through their packages, walked me through how to order the package online, and told me what time her team would be able to pick up my boy. I was even able to break up the payments into four installments. They arrived when they said they would, at 10 am, and were so endearing, kind, and compassionate. It was very difficult for me to see Capone passed away and they handled him with such care it was comforting. They gave me a chance to say goodbye and I believed that his remains were in good hands. Everyone I interacted with from the initial call through the pick up expressed such empathy and compassion it normalized the grief I felt trying to process the fact that my life buddy had died. Thank you so much for existing, Beloved Companions. You made an already devastating event tolerable because of your care.
