All Due Respect Veterinary In-Home Pet Euthanasia

It was such a comfort through a difficult time to have All Due Respect available. I called months in advance to inquire if they would come to my area. They were kind and compassionate on the phone, and answered all my questions. Later when the time came, I called again and did not need to discuss details as they saved all my information. I was very nervous for that day, but Dr. Maresca was comforting and reassuring throughout the process. It calmed me and I was able to feel present. We took our time and our furry companion had a beautiful morning enjoying his final moments with us, eating chicken and ice cream. I never imagined that such a painful experience would go so well. We are incredibly grateful for Dr. Maresca and everything she did for us and our fur baby.

Dr. Janah Maresca is an amazing and compassionate vet. We found ourselves needing to make the most difficult decision you have to make as a pet owner on a Sunday morning. My dog was in distress and it had become clear that it was time after watching him decline over a period of time. I contacted All Due Respect early in the morning and they responded promptly to make arrangements. I was able to spend my entire morning next to my sweet, aging pet at home comforting him until Dr. Maresca arrived. My dog had major anxiety about going to a veterinary office and I knew that his final moments should be peaceful at home where he feels safe and with me. It was a sunny, crisp morning and he and I spent it outside on a blanket where he could smell all the great scents and feel the breeze flowing around him. Dr. Maresca was gentle and quiet as she arrived. She explained the process and steps and allowed me to be as present as I wanted to be. My sweet Pretzel crossed the rainbow bridge calmly and in a peaceful, familiar setting. Dr. Maresca made the painful decision as peaceful as it could be. It was also helpful that she would transport him for cremation and she will return his ashes. She listened as I told her about his personality and she sent a kind, handwritten note in the mail. Thank you so much for your kindness and compassion.

Dr. Janah Maresca is an amazing person and vet. This service is such a gift to both families and pets. We are so grateful for her kindness and compassion for our elderly farm dog that she helped cross the rainbow bridge. There are no words for how grateful we were for her yesterday.

Working with Dr. Janah was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. We share a unique connection through Puma, and I could not be more impressed by her presence, her compassion, and unmatched professionalism. She truly exemplifies veterinary integrity. The staff at All Due Respect show just as much care as Dr. Janah and work hard to ensure the right decision is made. It is not an easy one but one that must be made. I was blessed with the luxury of having additional time with Puma. We used that time for last minute spontaneous adventures, photo sessions, and home cooked meals. His final day felt so surreal, it was as if he knew. It’s difficult for me to put into words how much he meant to me. He was my Pride and Joy. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to share him with the world. My friend’s made long trips to say goodbye and I was so moved by their acts of kindness that when it came time for the final hour, I was caught off guard by Dr. Janah’s arrival. And yet, she knew exactly what to do. Without missing a beat, Dr. Janah became part of our group and gave us as much time as we needed to collect ourselves. The seconds became excruciating for me. Looking my dear old friend in the eye and seeing them glimmer for the last time felt so conflicting. It felt like betrayal. Such is the emotional cost of euthanasia. Puma was in rough condition. Not only was this Shiba Inu knocking on the door of 15, but he also suffered a few nasty falls down the stairs and was presenting symptoms indicative of GI lymphoma. I flipped and flopped at least one hundred times between deciding. Ultimately, what led me to my decision was the medical kindness Dr. Janah offered. Although his spirit was as youthful as ever, his body; simply was not. I did not want him to suffer through another fall, another winter, or any other painful symptoms of cancer. As I carried him up the stairs, wrapped in a blanket to our porch garden, Dr. Janah sat with us on the floor of our deck. My friends stood a steps distance away from us while my wife and I sat together with Puma’s neck and head nestled into my lap after the first injection. Trying to hold back tears, combing my hands through his fur, and steadying our breathing, the second injection arrived. As Dr. Janah monitored Puma’s vitals, my wife’s hand was on Puma’s heart the whole time-and it felt safe up until his very last beat. Puma passed peacefully in our garden surrounded by love and a dedicated veterinarian in Dr. Janah. He had one of the best day’s ever, for which I’m forever grateful to my friend’s. If you made it to the end of this review, please hang in there. Watch for when the bad days outweigh the good. And know that when it’s time, you and “your Puma” will be given all due respect from Dr. Janah Maresca.

I came home from work to discover my fur baby had passed away. As expected, I was very distressed, and seeing how both he was a large German Shepherd and it was 4:30 on a Monday (half an hour before many places closed), I had no idea how to ensure my boy could get taken care of and provided the respect he deserved. After calling to several places and being told there was no way to retrieve him until tomorrow, I called All Due Respect, and the person I spoke with sounded both genuinely sympathetic and prioritized calling the doctor to see if I could be worked in today. Dr. Maresca was able to work me and drove over an hour to retrieve my boy for cremation. And on top of all of this, the cost of everything, to include the pickup, cremation, a nice wooden box for his ashes, and the shipping, came in less than what I expected. It's unfortunate that I had not had a chance to experience this kind of service prior to my boy's passing (I was starting to plan on how I would handle end of life for him, to include researching in-home services, given his anxiety), but I would wholeheartedly recommend All Due Respect if you're having to deal with the hardest times of a pet owner's life.

Dr. Janah Maresca did an amazing job making a very hard moment as comfortable and easy as possible. We were hoping for more days with our sweet cat but we had a scare overnight and realized we could not hold off any longer. Dr. Janah was able to come to our home the same day we called and did an amazing job. She was prompt and professional, but also incredibly kind and caring. She made us and our cat comfortable while also creating space for all the hard feelings. She explained everything before and throughout the process and didn't rush us at all. She even followed up with a touching, handwritten note a couple days after, which meant a lot. Her prices are fair and similar to other options in the area and, since she's amazing, she's the right choice for this. Thank you so much All Due Respect!

Such an amazing, caring, and sympathetic team. Very affordable pricing for natural burials. The staff went above and beyond and sent a vet out to our Home who came in on their day off. She was amazing, and our dog was comfortable and happy with no signs of distress during the euthanasia process. I highly recommend this service to anyone who has a senior dog, or any dog ready to cross the rainbow bridge.

Dr. Maresca was extremely professional, informative, and caring. She went above and beyond for my pet during his final moment. I am so glad I called. It's never easy losing a best friend but I wholeheartedly trusted Dr. Maresca. Thank you for providing such a noble service to Parker.

I am grateful for Dr. Maresca's service. Allowing our dog to be surrounded by loved ones in her own home was a gift to us humans as well as to Bailey. And Dr. Maresca herself set just the right tone - she was calming and respectful. I highly recommend All Due Respect.

I cannot say enough nice things about the experience All Due Respect created for our family. What a wonderful service they offer. To come to us, creating an experience for our 16yr old dog to pass on in her own environment. She was at total peace with our family by her side. Amazing people, wonderful service, very kind, compassionate and communicative. Thank you from our family’s heart. Rest in peace my friend
