Rainbow at Home

About Rainbow at Home

Rainbow at Home is an in-home pet hospice and euthanasia service based in Mobile, Alabama, operating under the umbrella of Loop Veterinary Hospital and its Bark N Call mobile veterinary brand. Established in 2017, the service was created on the belief that evaluating a pet's quality of life — and ultimately saying goodbye — is best done at home, where the animal feels safe and surrounded by familiar sights, sounds, and people. The practice is available to families throughout Mobile and Baldwin counties in Alabama.

The veterinary team at Rainbow at Home helps families navigate the difficult process of determining when hospice care or euthanasia is the most compassionate choice. They offer guidance on quality-of-life assessments and walk alongside families through the entire experience, from initial consultation to aftercare arrangements. The service includes a complete end-of-life planning form that families can complete in advance, covering cremation preferences, urn selection, and optional keepsakes such as a clay paw print. Phone support is available at (251) 654-5226, and resources including grief hotlines and recommended reading are offered to support families following the loss.

What to Expect

Families who contact Rainbow at Home are asked to complete a client registration form and an end-of-life planning form prior to the appointment. These forms gather information about the pet's health history and confirm the family's wishes regarding cremation or home burial, urn selection, and whether they would like ashes returned. Payment is collected at the time of the appointment. The veterinary team arrives at the family's home in Mobile or Baldwin County and proceeds at a gentle, unhurried pace. After the appointment, families are encouraged to share memorial photos and messages through the service's Facebook community page. Additional grief resources — including ASPCA and IAMS pet loss hotlines — are available on the Rainbow at Home website.
