I've sat in front of the keyboard trying to figure out the best way to convey that Beloved Companions and Pawz at Peace helped turn a horribly sad time in our lives into the most comfortable one possible. My wife and I have been devastated for the two years following our little dog's diagnosis with Congestive Heart Failure. For two years, he fought hard and enjoyed his life the best he possibly could. He was an amazing part of our lives and brought so much joy. However, when it was time, it was very obviously... time. (For that, I'm thankful. He had such a strong spirit that... when the time came that he couldn't fight any longer, it was very plain to see.) Completely heartbroken, my wife had heard of Beloved Companions and Pawz at Peace. We called, and Peaches was very kind and considerate. She helped us make our appointment on the same day of the call and being able have things done at our home felt right. It's not just our home; it's his home, and he wouldn't want to say goodbye anywhere else. We were able to assist our dog in his passing outside in our backyard. Dr. Shannon came, and I don't know that we've ever met somebody who was more capable of handling such a loaded and difficult situation. There is basically a powder keg of emotions involved with all of this, and Dr. Shannon navigated that path with such kindness and grace and helped us say goodbye with dignity and respect. Our little guy was not in any pain during the process, and we're confident that he's at home in heaven with Jesus. My wife and I were very emotional, and Dr. Shannon was loving and patient and showed such care. So did Vince, her assistant. We are very thankful for the gentleness and kindness your company offers. May God bless you.

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.

They were so kind & comforting to us. So patient with us with our many questions that we had. I strongly recommend them. It was such a long day. First we went to our local vet & got bad news. Then we went to an animal hospital that had an emergency room to see if they could operate on the tumor in his mouth. Unfortunately, he couldn't be saved. So we took him out for an hour to spoil him with things to eat that he'd really enjoy then brought him back so they could peacefully cross the rainbow bridge. They waited for us to drive the hour to them. She even gave us a little time to say more goodbyes. We appreciate it more than you could possibly know.
