Passing With Dignity - Placerville, California

Rebecca Giles

WOW.... saying Passing with Dignity surpassed my expectation would be an understatement. As heart wrenching as it is to say good-bye to your sweet fur baby, having people like Dr. Sara and Craig guide you through the process and show such compassion and empathy makes is so much less traumatic. Professionalism with such respect and kindness. I cannot express how fortunate I feel to have discovered their service. So very grateful my Max had their assistance in his transition. Oh...and allowing my other cat, Jack, to say his good-byes and give Max one last snuggle warmed my heart beyond belief. Again...so grateful! <3

Dr. Sue We can’t thank you enough for coming to our aide when our Curtis needed it the most. You made this traumatic experience the best it could have been. Helping our Curtis pass on to the other side with such care and kindness.

Dr Sara and Craig were beyond wonderful! They made a very sad and painful moment into a wonderful memory. The little things they did were amazing. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

Dr. Sarah and Craig were so calm, kind and compassionate when helping our Rama baby cross the rainbow bridge in a very peaceful way. They made sure we knew what was happening every step of the way and made a really devastating situation easier. Amazing people who you can tell really care, I am so thankful for what they do.

Dr. Sara and Craig were compassionate and made our very difficult decision feel peaceful. Our dog, Gracie, was loved by many. Dr. Sara's pre-appointment phone call was gracious and calming. She slowly explained the entire process and guided us through it. We will forever be grateful!

Dr. Sarah and Craig were so kind, calm and understanding during this sad and emotional decision to euthanize our beloved dog. It was as perfect an experience as one could ask for. It was painless for our pet, relaxed and we never felt rushed during the process. They provided support and information on the grief process. I have never had that level of compassion when I have taken my pets to vet offices for this process.

I cannot recommend Passing with Dignity and specifically, Dr. Sara enough. Our sweet boy was diagnosed with a terminal tumor and we were told he only had days to live. We were beside ourselves and couldn’t process the idea of putting him down; even though we knew it was the best thing for him.
We were referred to Dr. Sara by a family member and when we called to gather information about the process, Craig answered the phone and was nothing short of kind and compassionate. He did an amazing job of explaining all the details and options that Passing with Dignity provided. After we got off the phone with Craig, we knew this was the direction we needed to go in.
Dr. Sara was even kind enough to call us the morning of the procedure and reassure us that we were doing the right thing for our boy. She was incredibly empathetic and made us feel more at ease with our difficult decision.
When it came time to say goodbye to our boy, Craig and Dr. Sara were calm and incredibly kind and talked us through everything. They were gentle with our boy and with us.
It was the best decision we could have made to say goodbye and let go of our boy. He was able to go to sleep peacefully in his bed, in his home.
Dr. Sara even wrote us the most touching card and included some flower seeds, which we will plant in our backyard in honor of our boy. It was just the neatest gift idea to provide to grieving pet parents.
When our nine-year old niece found out our boy was sick, she gave me a bracelet to remember him by. Before Dr. Sara and Craig left our home, they also gave us a small charm. I added the charm to my bracelet and now I have loving reminders of, not just my sweet boy, but of the kindness and deeply caring hearts of Craig and Dr. Sara.

Our 12 years old pooch has cancer and we have to made a tough decision to let him go. Passing With Dignity was the first in-home service I called 10 mins before they open. Craig answered the phone. He was very professional. It was not an easy decision but with someone who has the patient and understanding what an owner/family goes through.
He asked questions, he listened, and explained the process. Both, Dr. Sara and Craig were passionate and respectful from the phone call to the service at our house. They explained/walked us through step by step explain. My family and I are very grateful for Dr. Sara and Craig.

Rest in peace my sweet Maxie Boo Boo. You are pain free. We miss you and love you.
