I am so grateful that I found Dr. Winnick to help me say goodbye to my best pal George. She was able to come see us the next day, which I was so thankful for. We communicated efficiently via text/email which was much easier than a phone call for me in those moments. She helped George with such care and skill so that he was able to have a peaceful last few moments in his own bed. I didn't feel rushed or uncomfortable and was able to focus entirely on saying goodbye. George had a lot of anxiety at the vet's office, so I'm so glad he could spend his last few moments with me in his cozy bed eating chicken nuggets. I'd recommend Peaceful Pathways to anyone and everyone during this difficult time.

Dr. Winnick is so kind and caring. She comes in as an empath and immediately doesn’t feel like a stranger. I think it’s because she knows how hard this process is. She was incredibly reassuring of the process from start to end and gently walked me through every step. She let ample time for me and my dog to say goodbye to me beloved bunny. Dr. Winnick followed up with a beautiful handwritten letter and the cremated remains were efficiently and beautifully packaged back to me. Thank you for making this process so much easier than it could have been. It wasn’t traumatic. It was just sad.

We had to make the extremely difficult decision to let our 18.5 year old baby Hunter go. Dr Winnick was wonderful and very compassionate. She explained everything thoroughly. She even put a little blanket over the syringe so we wouldn't see the injection happen. Once our boy crossed over to the rainbow ridge she let us say goodbye for a bit longer and made a clay pawprint right then and there. God forbid I see myself in this situation again- I would definitely use her services again.

My 10 year old pup had been struggling for a few weeks. It was clear he was in pain and was ready to be done with treatments and to just be at peace. The days leading up to the decision to move forward with at home euthanasia were, well, torture. So many conflicting emotions about not saying goodbye too soon or too late. I reached out to Dr. Jenn Winnick over the weekend for a Pet Assessment. Even though she was closed and didn't work Sunday's, she responded immediately. She reviewed his medical records in detail as well as the videos I submitted and replied with a detailed compassionate assessment. This helped bring everything into focus and help me make the most caring decision to move forward with Murphy's goodbye. I have unfortunately had to euthanize my last dog and was present for an at home euthanasia with my parents. My last dog was in the ICU and I had to say goodbye in the hospital. It was traumatic, he was anxious and scared during the procedure. For my parents dog the at home provider wasn't very compassionate and it left emotional scars on the family as a result. What I can tell you with absolute certainty is how loving and compassionate Dr. Jenn Winnick is throughout the process. She was loving on Murphy, gave us as much time as we needed to be with him and gave us space to grieve once he had passed. Deciding to euthanize is a difficult decision but it is the kindest gift you can give your loved one when the time comes. Peaceful Pathways was amazing during this difficult time and I cannot thank Dr. Winnick enough for how she handled everything.

After our senior kitty's sudden stroke, we had to make the difficult decision to put her down the morning of xmas eve. Despite the last minute appointment on a holiday, Dr. Winnick so graciously accommodated us and treated our girl with utmost respect. Thanks to Peaceful Pathways, Mysti's last moments were spent enjoying a yummy treat in her favorite chair surrounded by all of the people she loved/was loved by~
