Services
In-Home Euthanasia
Our in-home euthanasia service provides peaceful pet passing in familiar surroundings. We begin with tailored sedation to ensure comfort, followed by a humane final injection. The process takes 1-3 minutes after sedation, with complete monitoring throughout. Families receive post-procedure guidance and memorial options.
Pet Hospice Care
We develop customized comfort care plans for pets with terminal conditions. Services include pain management, mobility support, and quality-of-life assessments. Our hospice approach focuses on maintaining dignity while providing family education and emotional support during the transition period.
Private Cremation
Private cremation returns your pet's ashes in a cedar memorial box. This individual cremation option allows personalized memorialization with ashes available for pickup or delivery. We coordinate the entire process while maintaining respectful handling throughout.
Communal Cremation
Communal cremation involves respectful group cremation with memorial burial in a peaceful setting. This cost-effective option includes a shared remembrance space overlooking a pond, with no ashes returned to maintain dignified collective honoring.
Sedation Services
We provide customized sedation protocols using multi-modal medications tailored to each pet's needs. Our approach combines pain relief, anxiety reduction, and muscle relaxation to ensure comfortable transitions while minimizing stress for both pets and families.
Questions
What end-of-life options do you provide for pets?
We offer in-home euthanasia with customized sedation protocols and two cremation options: private cremation with ashes return, and communal cremation with group burial.
How does the sedation process work?
We administer tailored sedation cocktails that provide pain relief, muscle relaxation, and anti-nausea protection. Most pets become sedated within 5-15 minutes, with individualized adjustments for species and condition.
Can I stay with my pet during the procedure?
Yes, you may remain throughout the process. We encourage family presence during sedation, and you may choose to stay or leave during the final injection based on personal comfort.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept ACH transfers, credit/debit card payments through secure processing, and cash payments with exact change required for in-home transactions.
How quickly can you respond to urgent requests?
While not an emergency service, we often accommodate same-day appointments during business hours when available, with urgent cases prioritized based on medical necessity.

Dr. Westbrook is an angel. It was so much better to be in our own home instead of having to drive. I will be using her again, but hopefully not for awhile! Highly recommend Loving Paws. Updated 2023- it was time to say goodbye to out precious old girl today, and we chose Dr. Westbrook for the second time in 5 years. She's kind, responsive & gentle. Such a blessing to be able to say goodbye in our own home, in our own way. Thank you.

Dr. Westbrook was so kind. We had to say goodbye to our 15 year old dog. We were all very emotional. She was a calming and reassuring presence. She had all the right words to patiently explain to the kids what was happening. Her compassion went a long way towards softening a very painful moment in our lives.

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.

I just wanted my sweet girl to go peacefully without pain or anxiety. I got that with Dr. Westbrook's service. On time and professional, quick and gentle. My girlfriend said she was like a kind whisper, helped our sick girl, and was gone. I'm writing this the day after and I've been crying constantly. The thing that has helped me the most is knowing how peaceful my dogs last moments were. Thank you so much Dr. Westbrook for doing what you do and how you do it. It can't be easy seeing people day in and day out on their worst day, but you're amazing for this.

We've used Dr Westbrook for many years. She is truly an angel and makes an unbearable situation so much better and peaceful. It's the last act of kindness for our fur babies to send them onto the afterlife with dignity, peace and love. I don't know how she is able to do what she does but I'm forever grateful that our last moments with our babies are intimate, quiet and not rushed. I cannot recommend her enough.

It's a very difficult time putting your pet down, but Dr. Westbrook made the situation alot less painful. She was empathetic, and took her time in explaining everything to us. Thank you for making this terrible time a bit less painful.

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

My 14 yr old dachshund was so sick and he was suffering with every effect of old age that a dog could have. He was throwing up, had diarrhea, he would not eat, he was severely dehydrated, his little legs were so weak he could barely stand on them and couldn't get up from the floor on them. His brain was like an Alzheimer's patients, he would walk in circles and also stand in front of a wall for minutes at a time.

I knew he wasn't going to last like this, he wouldn't eat anything and would just sleep heavily all the time as well. So I contacted them at Loving Paws and the Vet, Dr Westbrook, that came out was the sweetest person, she was very professional and she handled everything with compassion and care. I would not ever hesitate to call them again should I ever need them and I wish I had known about them when I had my golden retriever who passed on with complications from cancer months ago, instead I took her to a veterinary clinic where it was okay, but it's not the same as having this done in the comfort of one's home where the dog is most comfortable. Bless these people.

We are so grateful to Dr. Westbrook at Loving Paws. Having her come to our home when needed was a comfort to all of us. She was kind, caring with our treasured companion and allowed us to say goodbye at our own pace in a very gentle way. A gift to our beautiful pet and to the entire family as an important part of our healing process.

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.
