Dr. Holt was so very thoughtful and kind when it came time for us to say goodbye to Rascal Kent. He hadn't been doing well and my roomie & I talked about having to put him down soon. He must have known because he quickly got worse. Dr. Holt was able to get us in very quickly, allowing us to say goodbye and asking us about him. It was one of the hardest experiences I've ever had to deal with, saying goodbye to him and Dr. Holt made it as smooth and painless for all of us. Eternally grateful, our boy went with his humans very painlessly. Thank you for giving us that.

To be treated with compassion and empathy is all you can ask for at such a difficult time. Dr. Holt was professional and calming from the moment she arrived. Saying good bye is hard! Thanking you Dr. Holt for helping to ease our pain. Bob

Say Goodbye at Home made an awful day the least bad it could be. The doctor was kind, practiced, and ensured my dog went happy, comfortable, and surrounded by love. While no-one wants to use this service, I would highly suggest it to anyone facing the difficult choice I did. Letting my Inara go at home was the right choice, as was SGaH.

We wish to thank Dr Holt for helping us say goodbye to our wonderful cat Ernie. We were blessed to have him for 18 amazing years. Dr Holt made this difficult process smooth and easy, especially for Ernie. Having her come to our home and be able to avoid the cat carrier and trip to the vet was amazing. Ernie was home and held by his family during the entire process. He did not suffer any pain, and she gave us time afterwards to say goodbye. I would highly recommend Say Goodbye at Home once you make this difficult decision.

I was recently faced with the decision to end my dog's suffering. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done. I felt like I was letting a child go. My beagle had severe anxiety being in the car and going to the vet. I didn't want the end of her life to be full of anxiety. When I found out about Say Goodbye at Home it helped me so much with my decision. I am so grateful I was able to have my fur baby go while at home surrounded by her family. The whole process was so peaceful and Dr. Holt was so caring and helped the process go as well as it could in the circumstances. I would recommend anyone going through this situation to consider using this service.

So grateful to Say Goodbye At Home for helping us give Seamus, the best dog and friend in the world, a beautiful, peaceful send off. To be able to have Paul, myself and our kids sitting in the sunshine on the grass with Seamus, giving him all our love…it was a gift to all of us.

While my beloved cat, Lilly was very sick, and had outlived by 22 weeks her terminal diagnosis, I still was second guessing my decision to end her life. Dr Holt, in such a simple compassionate manner, reassured me that my decision was the only decision, given Lilly's condition. Her clarity and gentle approach provided unspeakable relief during an excruciating experience.

Dr. Holt made what was such a difficult process manageable and dignified We were only able to give her 2 days' notice and not only was she available, but she was so kind and understanding about everything that it helped us to know we were doing the right thing for our sweet dog in her final days. The cremation service mailed us the most beautiful box, her paw print, a flower seed packet and card that we treasure. I cannot recommend 'Say Goodbye at Home' enough.

Dr. Holt was remarkable in her care of not only our beloved dog, but of our entire family, inviting us all to be part of his passing. She allowed us the time to truly say our goodbyes and even allowed our other family pets to be present so that they, too, knew what was happening. The most comforting aspect is that she came to our home, thus avoiding undue anxiety for our dog as well our family. We are sincerely grateful for her attention to detail and incredible care.

Making the decision to say goodbye to our 15 year old dog Ben was a difficult one. He was so loved and joined our family when our children were 5 and 6 years old. They are now 20 and 21 and we made the decision as a family that it was time to let him go. He was newly diagnosed with lymphoma and he was struggling. We found Dr. Holt in a Google search and we are so thankful we reached out to her. She responded to us immediately. Answered all our questions and took care of everything. She was extremely kind and compassionate. Our dog Ben was able to pass peacefully in his home wrapped up in our arms. I would highly recommend Dr. Holt and am grateful for her service.

I would recommend Dr. Holt and Say Goodbye At Home to anyone that is in need of pet euthanasia services. Our cat (named Cat) had declined in health rather quickly. We were heartbroken at the thought of packing her into her carrier and passing her off to a vet (Covid-times), unable to be by her side during her final moments. Our local clinic recommended Dr. Holt and we are so happy that they did. We could never thank Dr. Holt enough for helping us and Cat during this incredibly difficult time. With Dr. Holt's help, our sweet Cat went to sleep peacefully, surrounded by so much love. Thank you, Dr. Holt, for all that you do. You are truly one of a kind.

Dr. Holt is amazing to work with. She made the entire process easy and is very sympathetic to what your pet and family are going through. It is never easy to say goodbye. Being able to be right by our dogs side in our home while she went to sleep was such a comfort. I highly recommend Dr Holt and Say Goodbye at Home

Dr Holt, Was so nice when she came to our home to assist our Maxie to the dog park in the sky. Maxie was put to sleep first and she was able to do so while she was fed bacon! It was a beautiful and peaceful death ???? for our sweet girl. Dr Holt gave us private time with Maxie before she gently carried her away. I do appreciate and recommend Dr Holt. Thank you Dr Holt

It was the hardest decision to put our family member Wilson to sleep. Dr. Susan Holt was amazin!. Her compassion really helped us through a very difficult and emotional time. Being able to have Wilson put to sleep in the comfort of his home was less stress on us and especially Wilson. I cannot not be grateful to Dr. Holt and would highly recommend her.

We had Daizie Maybe almost 16 years before we had to lay her to rest. She was having terrible seizures off and on for over a year but as they got worse due to a brain tumor the medicine was not giving her quality of life. My wife who loved her more than words could say left it up to me to find a solution to an end. I went looking for answers on the internet when I came across Dr. Susan's name. I think she was a God send due to her last name was same as mine, Holt. I immediately went to her website where she showed about ending a pets life in your comfort if your own home and Daizie surroundings. She was very comforting to Daizie and my wife with scencerity and passion whom she just met. She was gentle, kind and reassuring everything was going to be fine. God Bless her and her service and care she shows like she did with us. Daizie will always be in our hearts and so will Dr. Susan.

Dr Holt was so sensitive and responsive throughout our experience with her. I am so glad that we were able to provide our beloved bulldog Clancy with a peaceful passing at home, free of anxiety or fear. Dr Holt put us at ease instantly and was comforting and professional. I highly recommend her and will be forever thankful to her for guiding us through Clancy’s last moments.

It has been several weeks since we said goodbye to our dogTraveler, who had been our wonderful companion for ten years after he was found left in a cage outside a Petco store. Traveler''s last moments with us were peaceful and dignified, thanks to Dr. Susan Holt and say goodbye at home. We are so pleased that we found Dr. Holt, who responded immediately to our outreach. She was flexible and generous in scheduling Traveler''s procedure. While it was heartbreaking to say goodbye to Traveler, Dr. Holt was a godsend and helped us through this difficult time.

Making the decision to say goodbye to our 16-year-old dog was heartrending, but Dr. Holt was kind, gentle, and professional. Saying goodbye at home was the best choice we could have made. Our beloved dog's passing was as full of grace as a sad moment like that could be. We recommend Dr. Holt's services without reservation.

Our dog, Ripley, recently was diagnosed with bone cancer and the pain quickly became unmanageable. She had been to the vet so often in recent months, that she would just become scared if we even headed in the direction of the vet's office. We made the difficult decision to end her pain, but we didn't want her final moments to be in fear so we hoped to find someone who could perform at home euthanasia. Dr. Holt was very responsive to my texts/emails during this difficult time and made the process very smooth and was sensitive to the situation. The day Dr. Holt arrived at our home she was very professional yet personable and ensured that Ripley was comfortable and was able to pass away peacefully without any fear or pain. I am forever grateful that this service was available and that our final moments with Ripley, and hers with us, were in our home where she was loved and felt safe. Thank you.

I had a very hard timing choosing to put my little dog down and I was alone to do it. She was so amazing and caring. I felt blessed to have her with me being very professional and caring.

Dr. Holt was very responsive to my request for help with my cat Damien, he had grown old and it was his time and Dr.Holt genuinely cared about our needs. Dr. Holt came to our home and she explained all the details to my 4 children and we gave them the option to stay in the room or to not be in the room. Dr.Holt was so kind and caring and patient with everything even with me who was hysterically crying. I have so many great things to say about DR.Holt but I will leave it as she is the epitome of professional and caring and she takes pride in her job which cannot be easy at all. I highly recommend Dr. Holt to help with your furry family member. The compassionate care that we all received was amazing.

Dr. Holt was the best decision we made for our dog Beau, and our family.... She was kind, compassionate, took care of all details for transport and cremation, and most importantly guided us gently through a very painful process on the last day of our boy’s life..... Her at home service is exemplary....

Let's be honest ..... no one wants to write a review for the euthanasia of their furbaby. However, if you find yourself in the position to need to let your pet pass as peacefully as possible, Dr Holt is the one you want. She is kind, respectful, & professional. We had to let our 16 year old cat Sasha pass over the rainbow bridge recently, and when she suddenly went downhill quickly we didn't think she would make it to the date of our scheduled appointment. Dr Holt worked with me to come here last minute and not during her regular working hours, as I was hysterical with the thought of her passing on her own and in pain. We selfishly miss her every day, but know she is no longer suffering. God bless you Dr Holt, and the work you do to help grieving families and their pets.

When I recently had to make the difficult decision to euthanize my dog, my regular vet recommended Say Goodbye at Home and Dr. Holt. Having Dr. Holt come to my house made a painful experience a little less difficult for me, and a lot less stressful for my dog. Dr. Holt was caring, empathetic and treated both of us with kindness and respect. I would use her again if I ever had need of her services.

During a difficult time for me and my pet, Dr. Holt made the experience of saying goodbye as good as it could possibly be. My precious dog was able to stay in the comfort of his own home and avoid the scary car ride and sterile surroundings of an animal hospital. This allowed us to focus 100% on him which meant the world to us. Dr. Holt explained the process perfectly and was absolutely wonderful and compassionate. I would highly recommend Dr. Holt and saying goodbye to your sweet companion in the comfort of your own home instead of a sterile room at the animal hospital.
