Testimonials

Dr. Jim and his team were all exceptionally wonderful to our family during this very difficult time. He has deep compassion and expertise in end-of-life care for animals. The service he provides is a tremendous blessing – the ability to say goodbye together in our home where our dog was clearly the most comfortable. Dr. Jim shared his personal stories and perspective with us, which helped immensely. I highly recommend his practice for those that need to say goodbye to a beloved furry family member after their health has failed.

Saying goodbye to a part of our family was extremely difficult and I did not want to do anything that was not best for our pup Turbo. Dr. Humphries took the time to understand Turbo’s history and fully examine him before confirming that it was his time to go. Getting to say goodbye to Turbo at home where he was comfortable and not stressed was a blessing. He truly got to have a peaceful and dignified passing. Thank you Dr. Humphries and team for your compassion, care and grieving alongside us. In such a difficult time it meant so much to us. God bless!!

A month ago today, Dr. Humphries and Dr. Matchett helped with the passing of my old black lab. I knew I had called the right place from the initial conversation with their office staff, Shelly. She, despite my blubbering during the initial phone call and understanding every word I said, made me feel like I was their most important client. Dr. Humphries was a true professional during the appointment, explaining every step of the process, never feeling rushed. The vet that accompanied him to the appointment, Dr. Matchett, made the entire process bearable, a kind man, just like a warm hug wrapped up as a veterinarian. Despite the sad circumstances, I would wholeheartedly recommend Home With Dignity.

While I hated the reason for using Home with Dignity, I would never use anyone else. Dr. Humphries was so gentle and loving with our old pug girl. She was so relaxed at home and had no stress of traveling. She was able to slowly drift into her eternal sleep in the sunshine of her favorite window and in her own bed. It was the last gift we were able to give her. It also was much easier for us being in our own environment. For the service provided the price was very affordable, the service was responsive, and they gave you understanding in your moments of sadness.

Our dog was very sick. When the time came to let her pass we contacted Home With Dignity so that we could say goodbye to her in the stress free environment of her own home surrounded by the people who loved her. Dr Humphreys came to our home after we set a time. He examined her. He was incredibly knowledgeable & professional. The first thing he did was relieve her pain. Then he allowed us to say goodbye in our own way. He was very compassionate. He is a very special person who provides a very special service. I would recommend this to anyone who has to say goodbye to a much loved pet.

We called Home with Dignity Sunday evening and they returned our call first thing Monday morning. Dr. Humphries was able to come to the house late Monday morning. He explained everything clearly and he was very professional and compassionate. I was able to hold my dog on my front porch (we live in the country) as she weren’t to sleep. It was peaceful and calm for her. This is by far better for the dog, and you, than going to a Veterinarian office.

Home with Dignity made the transition process extremely smooth and comforting. From the very beginning they were responsive, professional, caring and informative. Dr. Humphries was kind and gentle with our pet and gave us peace of mind with the procedure and his expertise. In a sad time we were very encouraged by their great care for our pet. Thank you!

From the initial phone conversation with Shelly, to the day we said goodbye to our Toby, we were treated with caring and compassion. Dr. Humphries was kind, professional and reassuring. His assessment of Toby’s condition gave us peace of mind that we were doing the right thing. Toby’s passing was painless and peaceful. Dr. Humphries made a difficult time bearable .

If you’re reading this review, chances are you’re facing a heartbreaking decision. There’s nothing that will take away your grief, but Dr. Humphries and Home with Dignity brought us much-needed peace of mind and served our family with extreme compassion….

There aren’t words to express how deeply appreciative I am to Tabitha and Dr. Matchett while dealing with my dog’s transition. Tabitha was the person I talked to on the phone. She was so helpful and compassionate. Dr. Mattchett came to my house and made Max’s end of life peaceful and stress-free. He was caring, sensitive and supportive. He gave me all the time I needed to say goodbye to my furry bundle of joy. I am very grateful Home With Dignity was there for me during this difficult time and a special thanks to Tabitha and Dr. Matchett!

I can’t say enough great things about our experience. Losing a family member is the worst day of your life, but Dr. Erin managed to make the experience lovely. She fit us into her schedule at the last minute because our beloved 14 year old dog took a turn for the worse and was suffering. Dr. Erin was patient and compassionate. She truly cares for animals and their families. Our dog was incredibly comfortable and surrounded by her family when she passed. I’m so grateful we found Home With Dignity and will recommend their service to everyone I know.

In the simplest and most heartfelt thanks I want to express my sincere and deep gratitude to Home with Dignity and Dr Matchett personally for making this worst possible but necessary event somewhat easier. We personally felt the compassion and care for Gus throughout the process despite the countless tears shed. With our greatest respect and appreciation – we thank you. RIP buddy. Dad and Mom love you….

Dr Washburn and the Home with Dignity staff were amazing to work with: incredibly compassionate and kind. Being able to say goodbye to our pup in the comfort of his own home meant the world to us.

I highly recommend Home with Dignity. They made a tough decision so comforting and professional. They were recommended to us from a friend – and I have already told MANY people how wonderful they were!

Dr. Washburn came to our house to send our Ezri do over the Rainbow Bridge. She is the most amazing, kind, compassionate, friendly vet. She is meant to do this job. The whole process from filling out paper work to picking up our girls ashes was so much better than going to the vet.

Dr.Matchette came to our home and was very gentle with our sweet Cherry and with my husband and I. It was, needless to say, one of the worst days of our lives. Dr. Machete’s kindness “took some of the sting and pain” out of our horrible day.

I believe having Dr Machette come to Cherry’s house was the best for Cherry. The familiar surroundings keeps the time from being chaotic. It takes the drama away

Thank you, Dr. Machete and Home with dignity.

Dr Washburn was so kind and considerate of taking care of Moose…this boy was so, so special to me…like my co-pilot in life, always by my side. I’ve never had a dog as special as Moose and I miss him every day. I have saved their information for future use….because I cannot be without my own dog for too long…I’m hoping to be ready in the spring but Moose will be by my side forever

Our sweet boy was unfortunately taken by cancer. Home with dignity came to our home for the euthanasia. They were absolutely wonderful. They gave us as much time as we needed and we’re so accommodating for us and our boy. They made sure that he was comfortable, surrounded by toys and loved ones. They were very professional and kept open communication on everything they were doing and when he had finally passed. I would highly recommend their service.

Dr. Washburn came to help our two dogs transition from life to death during the 2021 holidays. It was horrible, of course, but having the ability to let our best companions die peacefully in their home with their people all around, rather than having to deal with the anxiety of a final vet visit, was priceless.
Dr. Washburn was compassionate, considerate, and kind. She sat on the floor with us, introduced herself to the dogs and gave them lots of love, then explained what she was doing before she did it and told us what to expect along each step of the way. Despite our misery, we felt safe and cared-for.
One dog was able to have a home burial but the other was too big. Dr. Washburn transported him and we picked up his ashes about a week later.
While at-home euthanasia is pricey and that price rises with add-ons such as cremation and keeping the ashes, I would pay it all over again for the comfort we all received in having our dogs die at home. I deeply appreciated that all costs incurred were paid up front, from the doctor visit to the euthanasia to the transportation fee, the cremation, and the lovely wooden box we received when our dog’s ashes were ready for retrieval. The last thing I would have wanted was bills showing up weeks later reminding me that my buddies were gone.

I had been struggling with my little pup for about a month and going back and forth on whether I was making the right choice to put him to sleep or not. I called his primary vet who called me in for an appointment and didn’t broach any of the concerns with me and tried to get him (a 14 year old little man) in for surgery for a sebaceous cyst on his head. When I called Home With Dignity, I was greeted with kindness and patience. The receptionist spoke to me for about 20 minutes simply listening to my story. I decided to schedule an appointment for my little guy. Dr. Matchett arrived at my house and was so kind, so knowledgeable, and gave me straightforward advice that my regular vet didn’t. I cannot say enough about the kindness of this company and the compassion I received in such a terrible time. No one wants to think about such terrible things like letting go of a friend but the care I received from this company will never be forgotten.

This experience, while so sad/painful, was so beautiful and made the difficult and painful decision to put our pup down so much easier. The receptionist was so kind, patient and understanding. The vet was very knowledgeable and did a detailed consult with treatment options to help us make the decision. He was so sympathetic and kind. We were able to hold our pup on our couch in our arms wrapped in our blanket until she passed. I was able to take my last minute photos and grieve without shame in my own home. The vet took my pup away in a beautiful car set up. I felt so much dignity in her death. It was a beautiful and respectful. I couldn’t imagine any other way I would want this experience to go. Plus they were cheaper than my vet, and the ER hospital when I called for quotes! My pain is lessened knowing our pup wasn’t on a cold table at the vet without me. I have little kids to watch but they were able to play at home while I was with my pup for her last goodbye’s. I am so grateful for this service beyond what my words can say.
