We walk alongside families through the whole final chapter
Loved is not just here for the last day. We are here for every stage, from the first quiet signs that something is changing, through the months of managing, to the final goodbye.
01 · Quality of Life Assessment
For the quiet moments you can't quite explain.
Loved sits between your primary veterinarian and the emergency room. We come into your home, take the time these conversations need, and give you honest guidance on what comes next.
Pain management, quality-of-life reassessments, regular vet tech check-ins, and someone to call when you notice a change. The goal is not just to extend time, but to make the time that remains as good as it can be.
Unhurried, at home, with your whole family present. When the time comes, we are already there as a team you know and trust, making sure your pet's final hours are as peaceful as their best ones.
“Two weeks ago, we bid farewell to our beloved, family dog, Jack, who was just shy of his 17th birthday. My husband and I heard end of life care can take place in our home, and we immediately realized that was the best fit for us. Our veterinarian’s office recommended everloved to provide the service. As hard as it was to say goodbye, Dr. Stephanie made the journey, both peaceful and so beautiful. One week later, Miss Julie returned Jack’s ashes in a beautiful wooden box with his name engraved on a placard. We also received a locket of his fur and a beautiful paw print etched in cement. With that said, we created a shrine in an area of our home, dedicated to Jack. The level of compassion, expertise, and professionalism from beginning to end cannot be matched with any experiences in our lifetime. Thank you for all that you do. It truly is a gift.”

“Dr. Bowes recently shepherded our family through the loss of our beloved dog, Sofi. The level of compassion and professionalism she shared was unparalleled, and while it was absolutely heartwrenching to lose our girl, Dr. Bowes ensured that she was comfortable and embraced by our entire family at every step of the journey, and made sure we had time to express our love and say our goodbyes. Our family will forever remember and cherish her kindness. I hope your pets remain by your side for many years to come. But if that painful time does arrive, I highly recommend Everloved Vet Care for an experience with dignity, empathy, and professionalism.”

“This service is Amazing.Dr Bowes was so compassionate and loving to are Sweet Baby Diesel .She assessed him for us to make sure we were actually doing the right thing for our 15 yr old Lab that we had since he was 3 months old.. We were so grateful for this service that our Baby Diesel was able to be at home in his comfort zone and we were able to lay with him and hold him as he passed .which was nice that he didn't have to be scared and left alone and it comforted us to know we were with him and he went peacefully. This was truly a blessing all the way around. Thank You to Julie the owner and to Dr Bowes for your love and compassionSincerely The Spreitzer Family”

“While I wish that the need for End of Life care didn’t exist, I will say that I could not have asked for a better experience than I had with Everloved.The sheer amount of compassion and care that is given from that very first contact until the very last contact is AMAZING.This was my first time having to say goodbye to my beloved cat, Fayt, and I was so overwhelmed and lost at what to do. Julie answered the phone and immediately helped to calm my anxieties. She and Dr. Bowes are absolute angels and you can tell how passionate they are about bringing peace to not only you, but your furry child.They went above and beyond to fit me in between appointments so that Fayt did not have to suffer. I was anxious about taking too much time, but Dr. Bowes did not rush anything. She took the extra time to get to know Fayt, to get to know me, and she waited until I was ready before taking any step. What’s more, they personally bring your baby’s ashes back to you if you choose.Again, while I wish the need never came, I am so grateful for Everloved existing and allowing for this hard decision to be carried out in the comfort of your own home surrounded by loved ones. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone who is faced with having to say farewell to their fur babies.”

Signs it's time to reach out
You're noticing something. Trust that.
Pets don't tell us when something is wrong. They show us, in small ways that are easy to dismiss. If any of these sound familiar, that's enough reason to call.
They've stopped joining you upstairs
Sleeping on the kitchen tile instead of their usual bed
Putting the brakes on at the back door or driveway
Turning away from food they always loved
Only moving between two rooms, their world slowly shrinking
A question you can't quite shake, even if you can't name it yet
Everything your family needs in this season of life
From comfort care visits and telehealth consultations to aftercare coordination and grief support. We walk alongside families through every stage of the final chapter.

Why families choose us
Trusted guides for the final chapter
We built Loved around one belief: that the final chapter of a pet's life deserves the same unhurried care as every chapter before it. Everything we do reflects that.
At-home, always
We never ask families to travel. At home, we notice the subtle routine changes: the new sleeping spot, the hesitation at the back door, the small withdrawals that matter. Those details change everything, and you can only see them at home.
Licensed & specialist-trained
Our full-time Loved veterinarians hold full licensure and CPEV (Certified Peaceful Euthanasia Veterinarian) certification, a specialist credential in end-of-life care. They are chosen for their clinical skill and, equally, for the way they show up for families in difficult moments.
With you before and after
Our care team is available from the first uncertain call, even when you're not sure you're ready. Once a family has a question, that's enough reason to reach out. And our support continues long after the appointment ends, with complimentary grief sessions for every family we serve.

AAHA-accredited: because your pet deserves the best
AAHA accreditation isn't required. It's a choice, and we chose it because we believe your pet's final moments deserve the highest standard of care, backed by independently verified expertise.
Your pet's comfort comes first. AAHA standards guide our use of best practices for comfort, relaxation, and pain management. We take every measure to make this transition as gentle as possible.
A calm, stress-free experience. Our AAHA-trained team uses gentle techniques, soft voices, and the familiar home setting to ease your pet's transition. Their last moments should feel safe and full of love.
Compassion backed by expertise. Our veterinarians specialize in creating a peaceful, respectful goodbye. This isn't just our job. It's our calling.
"No one should have to apologize to their pet. They should be able to say: I did everything I could for you."

CPEV-certified: specialists in peaceful goodbyes
Our full-time veterinarians hold the CPEV credential, issued by CAETA, because we believe the last moments of a pet's life deserve a practitioner trained specifically for them.
Trained specifically for this moment. CPEV certification focuses entirely on end-of-life care: the protocols, the communication, and the compassion required when a family is saying goodbye.
A calmer, more informed experience. Our CPEV-certified vets know how to guide families through every step before it happens. No surprises. No uncertainty. Just quiet, unhurried care.
The difference you can feel. When a veterinarian has trained specifically for end-of-life visits, families feel it. The pace is different. The presence is different. That's what CPEV training prepares them for.
"Every family deserves a veterinarian who has trained for this moment, not just a clinician who is willing to make the drive."

What's happening
Events & latest guidance
Our latest articles on end-of-life care, grief, and honoring your pet.
These are the questions we hear most from families navigating this season. Our full FAQ has answers to everything else.
Your pet's home is the entirety of their world. At home, there's no waiting room, no unfamiliar smells, no travel stress. The whole family (children, other pets) can be present. And we take all the time you need. There is never a rush.
Once you have a question or a doubt, that's enough reason to call. Watch for a pet who is shrinking their world: sleeping in front of doors instead of their usual spot, skipping meals, withdrawing from the family. Our veterinarians offer in-home quality-of-life consultations so you can make a decision you feel at peace with, with someone beside you.
Absolutely. We design every visit around the entirety of the family. We set aside a window of around 2 hours for each visit. It starts with the Quality of Life Assessment, and we never rush you or your family. You are welcome to hold your pet, play music, or light candles. Whatever makes the moment feel right for your family, we follow your lead.
