My beautiful little staffie Charlie was very poorly and it was time to say goodbye 😥 The thought of her final moments being in a clinical vets setting was the last thing i wanted for her (she really hated going to the vets) After speaking to Tine i new she would be in safe hands. Emily the vet that came was brilliant, she took the time to get to know Charlie and was so compassionate and caring. Explained everything that was going to happen and made it all less scary. Charlie had a normal day with no stress at all. She went to sleep in such a peaceful way with a belly full of liver paste, on her own bed with her loved ones around her. Then taken on her final journey in a doggy bed wrapped up in her blanket with her little teddy. Thank you so much Emily and Tine for making the hardest goodbye so peaceful for my best friend ever 🙏🐾🐾🌈🐶❤️

From start to finish the service we received was excellent when we made the decision to say our final goodbye to our 13 year old dog Nerf. The initial enquiry was handled with compassion and no pressure, the home visit was arranged to suit us, the empathy during the visit as well as the dignity of Nerf as he left us was paramount. It’s never easy saying goodbye to a beloved pet but the professionalism and care made it a tiny bit more bearable. I would definitely recommend.

We had our beloved staffie, Conker, euthanized recently by Paws Over The Rainbow. I cannot praise them enough on how we were treated, with such love and compassion, from our initial contact to the actual visit and afterwards. Tine was incredible, so caring and thoughtful. She made a incredibly difficult situation more bearable. Conker passed so gently with a belly full of liver pate, dreaming about chasing cats. Tine was so gentle with him, even talking to him as he was moved to her car for his final journey. She remembered our conversation about Conker and our previous rescue dog, Mr Fox, and wrote us a lovely letter afterwards. I cannot recommend Paws Over The Rainbow highly enough.

If you are reading this then you are in that awful position we were , needing to make the most difficult of decisions. Rest assured from the initial call, to welcoming Tine into our home to help our beautiful lurcher Macey be at peace was compassionate & dignified. We were reassured but more importantly Macey was at ease & without anxiety. Thankyou Paws Over The Rainbow & especially Tine. Angie & Rich

We could not recommend Paws Over The Rainbow more. From the initial email response to the communication after, the service provided was exceptional. The team over there, especially Tine, were incredibly empathetic and understanding. They took the time to hear us and comment back the perfect words during a very upsetting time for our family. When the day came to put our beautiful dog out of pain, Tine was incredible. She helped us through all of it, was very patient and said exactly the right words. She treated our little lady with the utmost respect before and after and we have expressed how thankful we were to Paws Over The Rainbow to everyone around us. Their communication was unbelievable and the service provided, second to none. We later received a handwritten card from the team with some beautiful personal words which really helped us at a difficult time. It was very much respected and appreciated and gave it that personal touch even more so. We definitely felt it was the correct decision to have a home euthanasia over going to the vets, from my own experience it was a much more dignified end that was surrounded with a lot more peace and love, which was made a lot easier with this company. If anyone is at the point that we all think will never come, as horrible and upsetting it is, you are in very good hands with Paws Over The Rainbow.

Tine came to our house to help us allow our beautiful cat Twinkles fall asleep after her battle with cancer. Tine was so kind and gentle. Talking through everything and answering all our questions. We can't thank you enough for your professionalism and compassion during what is such a difficult time.Thank you for the beautiful card and the seeds.

Having to make the heartbreaking decision to let our beautiful boy Nipper go over the rainbow bridge we knew he needed to be at home during this difficult time, Tine came to us and made what was a dreadful time so much more bearable. She was calm and caring, not rushing us but let us go at our own pace. We will never be able to repay Tine for how amazing she was with Nipper and us at this time. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts ♥️

I had contacted Paws Over the Rainbow earlier as I knew that my 12 year old golden retriever was struggling with loosing his strength due to arthritis. I decided that I owed Max a dignified end at home. It turned into an emergency and he took the heartbreaking decision out of my hands. Tine attended and talked me through the process. His gut had twisted and he was in pain. A dose of valium quickly calmed him so we could spend precious time with him. Another injection later sent him over the rainbow bridge to join Aunty Millie retriever and my 5 other retrievers. He was privately cremated and he is back home with me. It was the "best" goodbye.

When our little mate Echo got his diagnosis and we were told his end was coming, we knew we were losing a very special rescue cat. He was far too pretty to be abandoned, but this is sadly how he ended up. Independant and feisty at times in his early years, but always ready for drink of milk or a warm lap, he was truly a one of a kind cat. We knew that letting him pass away at the home he loved before pain and suffering took over was the kindest thing to do. Tine handled the whole process with dignity and kindness and Echo passed away in peace and tranquility in the home he loved and defended. It is always sad to lose a loving companion, but I can certainly say if you wish to do the very best for them till the end then I can thoroughly recommend the home service that Tine offers. Run free Echo our beautiful little mate
