"From the initial contact to the very end, every single person I interacted with poured us with love and compassion."
I recently used Compassionate Care for my 17.5yr old dog. I had never been through the experience before and was devastated. From the initial contact to the very end, every single person I interacted with poured us with love and compassion. The vet who came to our home was so patient and kind. She made us feel comfortable and at ease. I cannot say enough about this amazing business.
"Knowing Monkey-kitty was being so lovingly taken care of after I dropped her off at Compassionate Care was such a gift during a horrible time."
Knowing Monkey-kitty was being so lovingly taken care of after I dropped her off at Compassionate Care was such a gift during a horrible time. The admin staff are the absolute sweetest and made the whole process as easy as possible. Can't recommend enough.
"You were graceful and kind, I was a mess and you were not fazed. This is a job only a special person can do, and you are definitely special."
Thank you Stacey C. for your kindness in such a terrible time. You were graceful and kind, I was a mess and you were not fazed. This is a job only a special person can do, and you are definitely special.
As the first and longest-established mobile veterinary service specializing exclusively in in-home pet euthanasia in Oregon and Southwest Washington, we've built a strong reputation for our compassionate and professional approach since 2009.
All of our in-home visits are conducted by highly experienced and licensed veterinarians who provide personalized care to ensure a peaceful and comfortable experience for your beloved pet.
Indications of pain can range from subtle to obvious. Signs may include changes in appetite, mobility, and grooming. Lack of interest in activities or vocalizing may also indicate pain. Increased heart rate, respiratory rate, and/or panting can also be observed. It is important to consult your veterinarian if you believe your pet may be experiencing pain or discomfort.
Making the decision to say goodbye to a pet is incredibly challenging and often accompanied by feelings of guilt. Consulting with your regular veterinarian is a good first step. Pet owners often develop an intuitive sense of when it's the right time. Two conditions that require immediate attention are when the pet refuses to drink water or experiences difficulty breathing — especially open-mouthed breathing or heavy panting.
What sets us apart is the exceptional level of care we provide and our extensive experience in assisting families with end-of-life decisions for their beloved pets. Our team of highly experienced veterinarians understands the emotional challenges involved and is dedicated to offering support and compassion throughout the process.
In most cases, we can accommodate same-day appointments. The earlier you call in the day, the more helpful — our Care Specialist staff come on duty at 6 am. Calling 1–2 days in advance is helpful if you have a preferred timeframe, live 45+ minutes outside Portland, or would like cremation assistance for a large pet.
Because there are several factors that impact our service cost, it is not possible to give a one-size-fits-all answer. Please call our office at (503) 880-1172 or contact us through our website, and we can provide a personalized answer to your questions.
Once you've made the difficult decision, we're here to provide our expertise and dedicated support every step of the way. Call to speak with a Care Specialist, or send us a quick note and we'll reach out shortly.
