My dog was my beloved companion for 17 wonderful years so I wanted to make sure his ending was as graceful and pain free as I could possibly give him. I did my homework beforehand especially on cremation places and also on where I wanted my dog to be euthanized if it came to that. Beloved Companions in Avon CT had great reviews, and my phone calls to them to discuss plans for my dogs final day when it came was met with caring, patience, and understanding and I didn’t want to deal with anyone else but Beloved Companions. I did at home euthanasia, pickup, and cremation for my little guy, and I am so glad to report that all went smoothly without any glitches whatsoever, allowing me to focus on my beloved companion and saying goodbye, completely free of added anxiety during such a sad and difficult time. Thank you all at Beloved Companions. Toby’s mom. 🌹

We could not have found a better caretaker than Dave during such a difficult time. Thank you for everything.

You all have done an absolute amazing job! Our family can't thank you enough. Beautiful work. The work you do is nothing short of amazing. The full understanding of treating a loved one with respect and dignity no matter what. Thank you.

I would like to thank "Beloved Companions" for the way they handled the cremation and return of our boy Jackson after his passing. A few things really set them apart. First and most important is compasion: they handled a sensitive and emotional situation with respect and concern. Secondly the Urn is beautiful and a reflection of Jackson. Finally the home delivery made things easier. In the past I had to stand in line at the Vet with tears filling my eyes, to pick up my pets remains. Thank You for making a difficult situation less difficult. Keith, Burlington, CT

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.

On 12.26.24 we lost our beloved Princess and although it was a very difficult day for me and my family upon calling beloved companions they made the process smooth while we grieved the loss of our fur baby. Thank you so much for everything and for explaining the process as this was our very first time loosing a fur baby. The compassion that they have and extend is beyond appreciated during the most difficult time and process.

My cat, Ruby, passed away after 19 long years of companionship. I called Dave, and he was so patient, professional, and reassuring. I fully trust in him and his company, and I would recommend him to anyone who has lost their beloved pet. I’m so happy to have Ruby home now. Dave, thank you again.

We love Beloved Companions!! We have taken all six of our dogs there to be cremated after they left us. They do a great job, and they’re very caring and kind. SPECIAL THANKS to Dave for being so amazingly nice to us!! A special shout out to Peaches, tooo!!

Beloved Companions are a responsive, compassionate and reasonable pet funeral and aftercare service that help people manage THE HARDEST aspect of being a pet lover! My first experience with them was recent and it was phenomenal. As sad as it sounds, I'm much reassured having found them, knowing I've got a plan for my pets in the future. My sweet little Morkie passed quietly at home in my arms after valiantly fighting kidney disease. After a moment of gratitude for his peaceful crossing(at home! In my arms!) I realized I had no idea what to do next; he died the night before scheduled in-home euthanasia appointment with Lap of Love. They were going to take care of everything, and I had no idea what to do with his body, and it was already 11pm on a Tuesday! Lucky for us, Lap of Love returned my call and walked me through handling Lucky's little body until the next day****PLEASE also see my 5 star review of Lap of Love!!!***) The next morning, I called my vet about cremation. The receptionist told me bring Lucky in, they could hold him until 'weekly cremation pickup' . I would need to call the office on arrival so 'they could meet me at the back door'. While I absolutely LOVE Lucky's team of vets, I was disgusted with this idea. Also she didn't even offer condolences! (I won't name the practice because the doctors are outstanding!) I said no thanks and looked up pet cremation services on Google. My first and only call was to Beloved Pets. Dave arranged to pick little Lucky up within the hour. He arrived on time and showed nothing less than true compassion, empathy and professionalism. I am so grateful that I did not have to bring Lucky anywhere, and that pickup was so quick. Dave carried Lucky to his van, gently and lovingly as I would have myself. I had a really hard time letting Dave and Lucky actually leave, and he was SO patient and kind, and gave me all the time I needed to say goodbye. I spent at least 15 minutes halfway in in the rear end of Dave's van, saying goodbye to my sweetest little boy. Dave had a schedule to keep and my neighbors were being nosy, but I didn't care and neither did Dave and I believe that Dave is the person who instinctually understands that grief is as complex and varied as we are, and he clearly honored mine. As far as the other variables, I found Dave's prices were very reasonable, competitive to industry standards. He's very responsive, by phone and text(which was a plus for me!) Lucky was ready to come home well before a week went by. I still haven't picked him up, partly because I'm far from the business, but probably also due to fear or some other psychological gremlin. Not once has Dave pressured me to pick up Lucky's urn. Matter of fact, I bet if I asked, Dave would probably drop by with Lucky next time he's in my area. He's THAT kind of guy! Thank you so much Dave, for bringing Lucky on his final car ride🐾♥️🐾

We cannot say enough about how amazing Beloved Companions was on one of the hardest days of our lives. We will forever be grateful for their kindness and for the services they provide. Thank you for taking care of our sweet Noodle.

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.

Peaches and Justin were very kind and compassionate. I highly recommend them.

I would like to start off by saying from the very moment I called beloved companions they have been nothing but supportive and very professional. Ms. Peaches made this life transition for my baby Emily so much easier for my family and I. I truly recommend Beloved Companions LLC to anyone. Thank you all for the support and a tragic experience turned into a blessings for my family.

I was hours from reaching our new home in town when my sweet princess of 13.5 years passed peacefully in my car. Not knowing where to go I reached out to a local community on social media who unanimously recommended Beloved Companions for her after care. Very distraught and upset with how this new chapter was beginning, everyone in this company was very compassionate, kind, understanding and reasonable. I did not have to wait long for her to be returned to me and I am pleased with the work they performed. Thank you again for honoring my beloved companion

Finding people to help you through this difficult transition is a blessing. Kindness, compassion, solidarity and company with respect is what I found in this cremation service for my sweet girl Coco. Thank you for being there for me and for patiently answering all my questions. It was hard to leave my Coco, but the sweet woman made me feel like she was in the right place. A few days later when I picked up her ashes I couldn't hold back my tears again but in the midst of my pain I felt peace thanks to Dave. I am very grateful to God for the staff who helped me. I am proud to have chosen Beloved Companion.

Recently, my beautiful little girl (my cat, Princess) passed away at home. Initially, I was extremely emotional and had no idea where to turn. However, after contacting this service, I was both relieved and reassured. Both Dave and Peaches conveyed their sincere condolences and readily understood the depth of my grief. They made the process absolutely seamless and have gone above and beyond in offering continued support and ensuring Princess arrived home safely. I highly recommend Beloved Companions—their professionalism, compassion and empathy is nothing short of extraordinary!

The only aftercare company i TRUST with my animals. The owner Dave and his staff do an amazing job handling my animals with the most diligent care, they take their time to make sure everything is perfect. Highly recommend! Would give more stars if i could

Can not express how compassionate and caring beloved companions is used their service for the first time 10 years ago and again in 2022 the staff is not all about business but about you and your feelings. They make the process of finishing your fur babies goodbye easy. Very nice to have someone in a difficult time treat you so well. I will highly recommend them always. Thanks again Beloved companions.

Beloved Pets is an amazing, caring team, Dave Olson, Dr Bertolini, Peaches. They cared for our beloved River. Their kindness, support and knowledge to support our wonderful dog and family was exceptional. We are forever grateful.

First we spoke with Peaches in Avon which started off the great support service of this caring place. We brought our little Julie to New Britain and Justin went over and above along with other very caring gentlemen. Knowing she was cremated by herself and still being treated with love and caring will always remain in our hearts. Our sincere thanks for all your sympathy and prayers, Carol and Charlie. RIP our little bug a boo XOXO

Very nice people carring people work and own the business thank you for your time and care of my beloved Ottie You guys are the best words cannot explain how grateful I am. Thank you again we love you and miss you Ottie till we see each other again Over the Rainbow Bridge and we will never depart Again

I was very pleased with my experience at Beloved Companions. They made a very difficult time a little easier. They were very professional and took the time to answer all the questions we had. Peaches was wonderful to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for the best after life care for their beloved pet.

We could not have found a better caretaker than peach during such a difficult time. Thank you for everything.. you even waited 45 minute after you closed for me 😢 and they have good prices !! Definitely would send people your way

Fantastic service. Really took care of my family and I with a touching service for our beloved cat. Peaches was terrific and made our grieving easier by telling us what good care our cat would be in. We would recommend.

I can not say enough good things about this service. What a wonderful caring group. From the vet , vet tech., the gentleman who picked him up, and of course the caring woman who put it all together for us. Sox is no longer in pain or being medicated twice daily. These are wonderful, caring, gentle people. Thank you all for making this process more bearable. ❤️😿

Eight years ago David handled the cremation of our beloved 15 year old yellow lab/ golden retriever cross. It was an extremely difficult time for us, but David made it easier. Our dog’s ashes were put in a beautiful wooden display box that stays in our living room. Last week out 18 year old cat was cremated by Beloved Companions and Peaches took great care of us with this difficult time. Beloved Companions treats our precious pets with the care and respect they deserve. They also show amazing compassion to us during a very difficult time.Our cat is now in a beautiful wooden box next to our dog’s ashes box. Thank you Beloved Companions for providing this needed service in the most professional manner possible.

Peaches was absolutely amazing and extremely kind she patiently waited for me as I was a bit late for my appointment I wouldn’t ask for anybody else to take my baby boys thank you again Peaches God bless you.

I cannot say how wonderful it was to have this agency assist our family. My parent’s beloved dog Patches passed away at home and being a larger dog I was unable to get her to the vet. My parents were unable due to their own physical limitations. I called and Peaches was wonderful on the phone and explained all the options to me in such a kind manner. Dave, who came to the home for Patches, could not have been more compassionate and supportive. He gave us as much time as we needed to say our final goodbye to Patches and was so patient and respectful with her. Thank you for your kindness during a heartbreaking time for us. We appreciate it and highly recommend your services to anyone in need.

We don't have words to express how much we appreciate everything was done for our beloved cat Maxim. Dave make all very special. We love everything we received from Beloved Companions. This service make huge difference ! We highly recommend this lovely place ♥️

I just got home from picking up my buddy Copper. I waited to open the bag because I knew my heart would sink. I opened the bag and what a wonderful surprise. I can't tell you how pleased I am. The foot print is just how I remembered his, the fur clippings are of every color the poem and certificate and the box that contained his remains are above and beyond what I had imagined. Thank you so very much. Sincerely, Dawn C

We can’t say enough about this experience. From the first call (Christmas Day) to the last, Peaches and team took the time to explain the process with thoughtfulness and compassion. We were grieving and the way they handled Rocky was with so much dignity and respect. She kept us updated throughout. As we went through the process there were no surprises, everything was handled and saw through as initially described. We have no reservation in recommending their services if ever needed.

My pet passed away this week. After reading reviews from different places decided to go with Beloved Companions. Called early in the morning and spoke with Dave. Within an hour he was at the house to pick up my dog. Dave is very compassionate and took care of things quickly. Would recommend Beloved Companions 100%

Lost our beloved cat of 19 yrs. The staff was compassionate and caring as we dealt with the process of losing our pet. And we're willing to meet us on our terms and hours related to his passing. Not only do they offer after hour services but even offered to pickup at home. Though we met them at their offices behind Battistones. Hope you never need their services. But, if you find yourself in this position. Don't hesitate to reach out to these caring folks!!

Dave was very kind and helpful. My pup was only 9 weeks old I believe she sucommed to complications of a seizure.

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.

Thank you for taking care of my guinea Peanut !. I appreciate all your condolences 🙏❤.
