“If there is a heaven, it’s certain our animals are to be there. Their lives become so interwoven with our own, it would take more than an archangel to detangle them.”

A WONDERFUL SERVICE

“We called Dr. Cionni in the morning and she came to our house that same afternoon. She handled the whole process with tenderness and sensitivity. While it was extremely difficult to lose our little dog of almost 15 years, we couldn’t imagine doing it any differently. Thank you to Dr. Cionni and the whole organization for providing such a wonderful service.”

DEFINITELY RECOMMEND

“We wanted to thank you for helping us out with Boston. This was definitely not an easy decision for us (I am honestly devastated not to have him with me anymore) but you made all of us feel at ease. I am glad we were able to do it at home so that Boston could be as relaxed as possible. Thank you for being so understanding and patient and giving us the time we needed with him before and after. Also, thank you for your card, it means a lot to us and we appreciate your support and thoughts.I will definitely recommend you to anyone I know who may have the same need down the road. ”

COMPASSIONATE AND CARING

“I just would like to say our family member Diesel had a stroke last night due to diabetes and kidney failure. He was a strong fighter only 13 years old and would not go peacefully so we called Dr Mary and this woman has the touch of an angel. She was sooo compassionate and caring and gentle and helped Diesel to the next life. Thank you again Dr. for taking time out of your Saturday and helping us move on. May God bless you and you will forever be in our hearts for what you did for us and Diesel.”

A GIFT FROM GOD

“Dr. Cionni, I wanted to take a minute to thank you for the gentle care you gave my sweet Homer. I miss him terribly but know he is free from pain. Thank you for the kindness you showed us. You are truly a gift from God to take care of our precious pets (babies).”

A PEACEFUL EXPERIENCE

“Dear Mary Jane–Words cannot express our thanks for your kindness and gentleness. We know we made the right decision for our 16-year-old Standard Poodle, Asti Soft Sweetheart. Your web articles helped us come to this difficult decision but you couldn’t have made the experience more peaceful for her or for us. Thank you so much for coming to our home and helping Asti cross the Rainbow Bridge. I can’t think of a better way for her to drift away than the way she did–with her velvety nose in a dish of Toasted Almond Gelato. Thank you.”

—JAN AND STEVE COLEMAN

FOREVER GRATEFUL

“Thank you so much for coming when we called and easing us all through such a difficult process. You helped our fuzzy family member in such a loving and caring manner we will forever be grateful. He was a part of our lives for so long and it’s nice to have someone that is so great at what they do. Not only for the animals but their people as well. It takes a special person to do what you do and I just want to thank you so much for being there when we needed it most.”

BLESSINGS TO YOU

TRULY COMPASSIONATE SERVICE

“Dr. Mary Jane, I just wanted to say thank you for making time to come to our home and helping us let our little guy Jake go. Even though he still had bright eyes and his tail would still wag, his poor old heart just couldn’t keep up. It was especially comforting to let him go while he lay in his own bed. I want you to know that the service you provide and your truly fine and compassionate approach meant so much. We found a nice spot to lay Jake to rest, early that same evening underneath a Cottonwood tree. It was was one of the places he loved to be, down on my dads farm.”

SURROUNDED BY LOVE

“Mary Jane helped Max get to the Rainbow Bridge in our home. He was surrounded by love. I would never take my sweet dog to a vet’s office to say my final goodbye. So scary and cold. Max was in his favorite spot with his favorite blanket and stuffed cow. He wasn’t scared. He felt no pain and knowing this, I have peace. If any of your pets are suffering, please consider Mary Jane. We owe it to our babies to give them the care and respect they deserve. She treated Max as if he were her own. Best decision I have ever made. I could not have asked for it to go any better. She is truly an angel and I cannot thank her enough. My heart hurts more than anything, and one day will begin to heal. Thank you Mary Jane, my angel!”

THANK YOU FOR DOING WHAT YOU DO

“Thank you so much for dropping your day off and running here for our Bodie. I can’t imagine how traumatic it would have been to figure out how to get him in a car to a vet clinic. It would have taken away from our goodbye. Thank you for doing what you do and in such a loving and present way.
