Can not recommend Dr. Mary highly enough.  She helped us through a very difficult time with great sensitivity.  We reached out over a weekend and she responded quickly and accommodated our request for near immediate help.  So glad we found her. Read Less

I highly recommend Dr. Mary Craig's at-home service. Twice we've had to euthanize our elderly dogs and twice Dr.Craig has been there as a compassionate, caring, unhurried, professional. Thanks to her, our dogs went to sleep peacefully in the comfort of their home. Read Less

When one of our dogs passed a couple of years ago, we regretted euthanizing at the vet because the others were upset by the disappearance of their mate. This time we decided to do this at home. Dr. Mary was super-sensitive to the impact on our family and the dog-pack. Read Less

My dog Finn died today. Dr.Mary Craig from Gentle Goodbye euthanized him at home. In was in his favourite position on the couch. He was surrounded by those who loved him. It was very peaceful. There was much crying and petting and kissing of him before he took his last breath. Dr.Mary Craig without me even asking or thinking of these things took a bit of hair from him and did a paw print impression.She was so calm and reassuring. She explained to us everything she was going to do to end Finns suffering. I am so grateful for her care of my beloved dog. If you can keep your pet at home during their last moments do so. This is a wonderful service. Thank you Dr.Craig I will be forever grateful. Read Less

I can't say enough amazing things about this service.  I was so thankful for how respectful they were.  They included my children and were so kind and thoughtful through the entire process.  It was the best possible experience I could expect for such a hard time of our lives.  WORTH EVERY PENNY.

This was truly the best possible way to do this unspeakably sad thing. Dr. Mary was so calm and caring. My little Westie, Lochinvar, did not have to spend his last moments stressed out about being at the Vet. He could lay in his little bed, at his home, surrrounded by all of his little family and go to sleep as peacefully as I could have hoped for. This is the best idea ever. She provided us with a sweet little paw impression as a keepsake, and she helped all of us go through this tragedy. I cannot recommend her enough. Read Less

I can't recommend Dr Craig enough. She had a wonderful, sincere and calming way of interacting with me during an extremely hard time. She was gentle and professional when caring for my dog. She also was responsive to my calls and explained the procedure and answered all my questions. If I ever need this service again, I will definitely go with her and will recommend to any other pet owner. Read Less

We can not say enough about Dr. Craig and her service. She took an incredibly difficult situation and handled it with care, respect and dignity. She did not rush our good byes for even a second. She was extremely caring and sympathetic and treated out beloved Blue with love. We would highly recommend her to anyone who has to go through the heartbreaking process of saying goodbye to their beloved pet. Read Less

Dr. Craig's at home services were invaluable when it was time to say goodbye to my beloved cat, Bird. She's sensitive and genuine and she made what is always an awfully sad and difficult experience as comfortable and easy as possible. If I ever have need to say goodbye to another pet I won't hesitate to seek out Dr. Craig again. Read Less

Dr. Mary was like an angel during that very difficult time, both with Hospice care and euthanasia. Her quiet, gentle approach made it possible to have a good and peaceful "goodbye." I highly recommend having her support through one of the most difficult transitions we have to face as pet owners. Read Less

I am very happy with the service provided by Dr. Mary at Gentle Goodbye. When our cat passed away, Dr. Mary was wonderful and helped us take care of her final arrangements. The first thing I thought after the initial sadness was, what do I do now? I'm so relieved to have found Gentle Goodbye and I would highly recommend their service. Read Less

Dr Craig was invaluable in helping me during the last year of my elderly dog's life. She came to the house the morning we made the decision to put her to sleep and helped me in my anguish even after that very sad day. I did not hesitate to get another dog, and when the time draws near, I will contact Dr Craig. She is like an angel. Read Less

The grief of saying goodbye to a pet is excruciating -- there's no way around it. However, because of Dr. Craig, saying goodbye to my cat was infinitely easier than it would have been otherwise. By not having to subject an ill animal to a pet carrier, a frightening car ride, and the noise and unfamiliarity of a veterinary office, our pet's final moments of life were relaxed and calm. And he was able to drift off to sleep peacefully in a familiar environment, in the arms of the two people who loved him the most. Afterward, my husband and I were spared a grief-stricken drive, as we were already at home. Dr. Craig was amazing from start to finish. She was comforting, professional, and gentle. I can't think of a better person to have assisted us through such a difficult event. I couldn't recommend her service more highly. Gentle Goodbye is as much a gift to pets as it is to their owners.

Mary was a blessing to us. She made saying goodbye to our beloved Peepers so much less traumatic than a typical visit to the vet would have been . I was able to hold Peeper's in my lap (her favorite place to be) while she passed, surrounded by her family who loved her. Mary allowed us all the time we needed to get ready. She patiently answered all the questions my 11 year old son had about the process, so he knew Peepers wouldn't be in any pain. She also assured my husband that it was the right thing to do as animals can't tell us when they are hurting and rely on us to alleviate their pain and suffering. She took Peepers with her and with her remains in a beautiful wooden box that we were able to put her picture in. I would give her 1,000 stars if I could. Read Less

As devastating as this time can be, we felt so good about having the vet come to our home, in Honey's favorite room, as a final goodbye. It was not only peaceful, but we felt assured that we were doing the right thing by using a vet and a compassionate person to help us in her final journey.Read Less

Absolutely everything you could hope for.  Dr. Craig was able to give our dog and our family the best possible way to say good-bye in familiar surroundings and made a very difficult situation that much easier. My daughter even said that Millie looked peaceful and that made her feel better. I would like to go out myself this way. :) Read Less

Hours ago we, with Dr. Mary's Craig incredible sensitivity and help, said goodbye to our beloved friend of fifteen years.  Gently our dog went to sleep surrounded by his loving family at our home on Mothers Day.  KC struggled to make it to this day and the struggle was just too much.  I cannot thank this wonderful person enough for helping KC's transition and passage. Her incredible compassion and professional care will be one of the loving memories we will carry with us. Thanks Dr. Mary Craig. Read Less

Wow- If I could give 10 starts I would!  Dr. Mary Craig specializes in hospice care for animals at the end of life and euthanasia. She's a mobile vet serving the Fairfield and Westchester Counties and I feel lucky to have found her because my dog was always traumatized by going to the vet and it was always a big ordeal...Now, at the end of her life, Dr. Craig is making her comfortable at home and she is just what I was looking for! She is compassionate and really understands what we are going through! My dog has not passed yet but she's considered "hospice" and I am so glad I found Dr. Craig! Read Less
