Restful Paws - In Home Pet Hospice and Euthanasia, A SAGE Service

About Restful Paws

Restful Paws — In Home Pet Hospice and Euthanasia is a veterinary end-of-life service operating under the SAGE (Specialists in Animal General and Emergency) family of practices, based in Redwood City, California. Proudly serving communities throughout the San Francisco Peninsula and South Bay, Restful Paws brings licensed veterinarians directly to your home to provide compassionate, stress-free end-of-life care for dogs and cats. The service was founded on the belief that a pet's final moments should take place in the comfort and security of familiar surroundings, surrounded by the people and places they love most.

Beyond in-home euthanasia, Restful Paws offers quality-of-life consultations — dedicated appointments in which a veterinarian visits your home to assess your pet's condition and help you understand what your pet is experiencing as their health declines. These consultations are designed to help pet owners make informed decisions without the pressure or clinical atmosphere of a veterinary office. The practice also provides aftercare assistance: if a pet passes naturally at home before a euthanasia appointment can be arranged, a Restful Paws veterinarian will come to the home to help coordinate cremation services. Families can request a visit through the Restful Paws website at therestfulpaws.net or by calling (408) 242-2792.

What to Expect

Families who contact Restful Paws can request a visit through therestfulpaws.net or by calling (408) 242-2792 to speak directly with the team. The Restful Paws veterinarians are experienced in answering the difficult questions families face when a pet's condition deteriorates — including how to recognize signs of suffering and when euthanasia may be the most compassionate choice. On the day of an in-home euthanasia appointment, the veterinarian arrives at your home, assesses the environment, and proceeds at a pace that is gentle and respectful for both the pet and the family. Restful Paws veterinarians wear face masks during all home visits for the safety and comfort of all households they serve.
