Our sweet Sierra had cancer that had consumed her quality of life and her pain was exceeding the medicine so we were faced with the difficult decision to put her down. This company made it so beautiful. They came into the house with the sweetest temperament and personalities placing Sierra at ease. They didn't rush us and remained genuinely sympathetic to us and our broken hearts. It was so beautiful that Sierra wasn't scared or anxious. She was home and in her bed surrounded by all of our family as she peacefully went to sleep and entered doggie heaven. We miss her tremendously but couldn't be more grateful for the service Sweet Dreams provided in our difficult time.

Ace was a huge, goofy white German Shepherd. He had been plagued with health issues most of his life, but he was fortunately able to see 12 years pass, living a full life for a Shepherd, before he succumbed to hip, liver and kidney problems. Being unable to stand up anymore, I knew it was time to have to make that very difficult decision. Being 90+ pounds and unable to walk at all, it was not feasible for me to take him to our normal veterinary clinic. Sweet Dreams was recommended to me, I was pleased with what I saw on their website, so I gave them a call.
Sweet Dreams made the whole process much easier. They were compassionate, friendly and professional on the phone when setting up an appointment. They sent a confirmation email shortly thereafter, with details of my appointment, and mentioned what I needed to do on that day. The morning of the appointment day, I received an email with an electronic form to fill out, then a phone call again confirming my appointment, with an approximate time window. I was told when Dr. Henson would call with a more exact time, which she did, and I knew within 20 minutes, when the team would arrive. They came inside, we all made introductions, then they went to meet Ace, and see if they needed to do anything special. I was told exactly what would happen, and they had me spend some time with Ace, as they were getting things ready.
First: if you are reading this, you are struggling with a very difficult decision. This is not easy! Our precious Jasper had MVD and a cancerous tumor and started being unable to walk due to where the tumor was. After realizing surgery was not an option and knowing his quality of life was almost gone, we called upon Sweet Dreams. From the first phone call, the call back changing our minds, and the call back realizing it WAS time, they were 100% supportive. This was very sudden for us, so it hurt more than usual. Having previously experienced the "at the vet" euthanasia, we knew that in-home HAS TO BE THE WAY IT SHOULD BE DONE! Most pets are already uncomfortable going to the vet - there is no need to make their last moments even more uncomfortable. This way, they are HOME, with you/family and (as) comfortable (as possible). We were visited by Dr Henson and Samantha. I want to lay heavy praise on both of them. They both made this horrible moment as comfortable as humanly possible, for both my wife and I, along with Jasper and his brother and sister. Know that they are also available for consultation to know if it is time... They truly care!
First off, anyone that is reading this is probably in the position I found myself after 16 years of owning my first pet. My baby girl Semi for all her life was in good health, and aside from yearly checkups an active Blue Tick hound that never had any issues. The first signs of ageing took place about 2 years ago, and though she was not as active as she was previously still could do everything she could before just not as fast. As time slowly went by she started having issues to the point where she could no longer get up on her own. At that point I knew I had to have a plan in place for the moment when she no longer would be able to carry on. I did everything I could for her, but even getting in the car which was one of her most favorite things was no longer an option. A co-worker mention services such as this, and I looked around for local providers. At the point when my pet could no longer walk I contacted Sweet Dreams to go through the motions of arranging a visit. Two weeks went by and I cherished every moment. My pet was simply done.. Dr. Crowder came and it was such a blessing.. As a pet owner you have a responsibility to give them the best care, and make the difficult decisions to let them peacefully surrender to a better place.. I don't foresee being a repeat customer of Sweet Dreams any time soon, as I don't have any other pets, but to anyone who is reading this, I assure you this was the best decisions and the most humane way I could imagine for my baby girl to go out.. If you are unsure of when to do this, or if this is for you, I can say 100% I have no regrets and they will be there in this last chapter of a bond that will last a lifetime.. They take this very seriously, respond immediately and will answer any questions you have.. Again, I don't know who will read this, but I feel your pain, as does Sweet Dreams.. They truly care, and you will be at ease in the end, I promise..
My experience with Sweet Dreams (Dr. White and Carline) was more than I hoped for during this difficult time. Making the decision to end my "Little Buddy's" life (Allie) was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made. It was made a bit easier because of the staff at Sweet Dreams. Thank you so much for your courteous and heartfelt service. The in home service is something that any pet lover should consider once going down this terrible, arduous path.
Making the decision to let Goosy go was difficult. If you are in this situation, I highly recommend Sweet Dreams. We realized last year that Goose was suffering from doggie dementia. As his faculties started to decline, we had a hard decision to make. Our vet recommended Sweet Dreams to us. Goose hated riding in the car and was anxious at the vet so I didn't want the last thing I did with him to be a car ride to the vet's office. The team at Sweet Dreams were so kind and compassionate from the first phone call. Before, during and after the procedure, they explained everything that was going to happen. They made sure that Goosy's last moments were filled with peace and love. They gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye and were professional and respectful throughout. Being able to say goodbye to him at home while he sat in his own bed eating a plate full of scrambled eggs made this difficult situation much more bearable.
January 30, 2019Sweet Dreams came to our home to euthanize Daisy, our 16 year old terrier mix. We adopted Daisy just after we got married in 2003. She was a spirited little dog, so when she got cancer for the third time in her life, we just knew she would bounce back. After all, nothing held her back, not even losing her hearing. When the cancer took over her little body, she fought it, but one day she told us she couldn't fight anymore. Sweet Dreams treated Daisy and the rest of our family with such love, care, and respect. Dr. Kleinmann and Leigh were both exceptional. I appreciate their kindness, patience, and care they gave to us. It's so meaningful to us to have our beloved pets treated so well by people other than us.
"When our beloved JOJO, a 15-year old Coton, was diagnosed with heart and liver disease and stopped eating, we came to the realization that she no longer had the quality of life that she deserved. Immediately after speaking to Dr. Crowder on the phone, we felt that we had made the right move contacting Sweet Dreams. Dr. Crowder was sympathetic and extremely understanding, When Dr. Smith and Julie came to our house to put JOJO to sleep, they were so incredibly gentle and kind. They understood our heartbreak and we will never forget the tenderness they showed throughout the whole process. Contacting Sweet Dreams was undoubtedly the best decision we could have made at this terrible time of sorrow in our lives. Everyone was amazing and helped ease the burden of this great loss."- Susan & Steve Sadow
In her final weeks, Tetley showed many signs of dementia and constant pain. She always hated the vets (and also the car in the final years) so having someone come to our home was the only choice for us. I am so impressed at the service provided to us by Sweet Dreams and would never do anything else again. Tetley left us with the taste of steak in her mouth and with loving hands on her until the very end. What more could you wish for your fur baby? She had a happy life, rescued from the hell that was her first 5 weeks, and was loved every single minute. We miss her terribly but are very thankful for your service. You made it as easy as is possible and our sweet Tetley has no stress or pain at the end."- Owen, Marietta
So..surrounded by family..lots of love and plenty of tears,,we said good-bye to Ozzie as he ate his last meal and we told him he didn't have to protect us any more. It couldn't have been more perfect and Ozzie was peaceful. The service also took Ozzie from our home afterward to be cremated. The entire process was discreet, empathetic and loving. We tell everyone..everywhere we go of the amazing group of people at Sweet Dreams. I can't say enough about the entire beautiful..loving and caring staff at Sweet Dreams."- Deborah H., Smyna
October 20, 2016"Our 16 year old cat named Kit was so terrified of going to the vets office that last visit there she even bit me, her loving owner! That aside, she grew very sick and I called Sweet Dreams. The last thing I wanted to do was traumatize this cat during her last hours. Kit was in her favorite spot and she felt absolutely no pain. It truly was peaceful and she no longer suffers. Dr. Smith and her tech were so consoling to me and so loving to our beloved pet. Also, I was struggling with a decision and I knew it was time and yet your vet wanted to pursue more testing and more pain to the animal. Sweet Dreams validated my thought process and assured me this decision was now what was truly best for my pet. I even hugged them when they left (and I a not a hugger!).
