How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Serene Passages
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing

Consider pet insurance

Dr Nicole was VERY caring and gentle with our precious furbaby, Elena. She spent a lot of time explaining what she was going to do and what could happen, and when it happened we weren't taken aback by it. Dr Nicole never appeared rushed or fast to get it onto the next appointment. She stayed quite a while and was reinforcing our idea to let our other dogs see Elena's body and smell her to have a sense of closure. Our furbaby, Grace, is still mourning despite seeing and smelling her body. Dr Nicole knew all this would happen and was very compassionate with our feelings and I think as well as both our other babies. I will use Serene again when the time comes for our babies time comes. I highly recommend Serene and Dr Nicole and staff.

From the phone call speaking with Don, to when Dr. Nicole came to my home it was the best decision I made for my 14 yr old Cookie fur baby for her last day on earth. Dr. Nicole was compassionate, kind, caring and the best Vet I have come across since I have been adopting rescued dogs since 1999. Dr. Nicole made Cookie feel relaxed and cared for, along with me and my other dog Duke who got to sit with Cookie as we said our goodbyes during and after the process. It was so peaceful having Dr. Nicole come to my home instead of taking Cookie to a Vet office. Even though this was a very difficult decision to make it brought me peace knowing how Dr. Nicole made us feel and how caring she was. I would 100% highly recommend Serene Passages and Dr. Nicole to help you with your final goodbye to your fur baby. Thank you to Dr. Nicole, Don, and team for your kindness during this most difficult time in my life, having to say goodbye to Cookie.

Dr. Nicole took her time and explained all the steps she'd be performing on our precious Elena. She said what could happen after the injection of the sedative, and it did. I'm so happy we went with Serene. It made the heartbreaking decision a lot less difficult to accept our loss. Thank you Dr Nicole, and Don.

Dr. Nicole is an angel! Her kindness, delicate manner and soft gentle demeanor was the grace, honor and dignity that made our beautiful girl Gertie's end of life complete. She even let me carry Gertie out to her vehicle, which was a blessing of honor. Dr. Nicole personally delivered Gertie's ashes to me and took the time to ask how I was doing. She and her team are THE BEST! Thank you Dr. Nicole for your loving heart. I am so grateful for you and the work you do is truly special and appreciated here on earth and beyond!

I recently used Dr. Nicole for my 17 year old cat who was sick with kindey disease. She came to my house last Friday and helped bring my baby girl over the rainbow bridge. Dr. Nicole was so kind and understanding and made the experience the best that it could possibly be given the circumstances. I knew I had to leave a review for someone else who may be on the fence of which place to choose and just know that Dr. Nicole will take wonderful care of you, your family and your baby.
