Golden Years Veterinary Services: Compassionate In-Home Veterinary Care

Golden Years Veterinary Services is a premier mobile veterinarian and service establishment dedicated to providing compassionate, end-of-life and hospice care for pets in the comfort of their own homes. Dr. Stephanie Freed and her team understand that saying goodbye to a cherished companion is one of the hardest experiences an owner can face. That’s why they bring professionalism, empathy, and expert guidance directly to your doorstep—ensuring each pet’s final moments are peaceful, dignified, and surrounded by love.

Empathy That Makes a Difference

From the first phone call to the moment Dr. Freed quietly leaves your home, compassion is at the heart of Golden Years Veterinary Services. “Dr. Freed’s empathy and compassion is unsurpassed,” one client shared after her beloved dog Bailey passed in their living room. By taking time to truly listen to each family’s story and concerns, the team creates an atmosphere of trust and emotional safety. This depth of caring doesn’t just ease the pet’s transition—it supports the entire family through grief and healing.

In-Home Comfort & Personalized Hospice Consultation

Many pet owners say goodbye best in familiar surroundings—and Golden Years Veterinary Services specializes in in-home consultations and hospice support. Whether your dog or cat is facing a serious health decline or nearing the end of a full, joyful life, Dr. Freed offers comprehensive, face-to-face guidance on quality-of-life indicators and pain management. “We met with her for over an hour discussing our dog’s condition. Try and get that much face time with any vet!” recalls one family. This level of individualized attention empowers owners to make informed choices and often extends meaningful, comfortable time together.

Clear Communication & Gentle Explanation

Anxiety around medical procedures can compound grief. To alleviate confusion, Dr. Freed walks each family through the process step by step. “She explained every single step to us—from the actual procedure all the way through to him being returned to us—there were zero questions or confusion,” one review highlights. By pausing for questions, sharing simple illustrations, and using compassionate language, Golden Years Veterinary Services builds trust and ensures no detail is overlooked.

Flexible Scheduling & Immediate Responsiveness

End-of-life decisions can’t always wait, and Golden Years Veterinary Services prides itself on prompt, flexible scheduling. When a family noticed their senior cat suffering, Dr. Freed “even moved the appointment up on the same day so my sweet girl didn’t suffer another day.” Another pet owner explains, “She was easily reachable for the few days while we waited and accommodating when we needed to adjust our date.” This responsiveness relieves the stress of uncertainty and demonstrates the practice’s unwavering commitment to pet welfare.

Professional Expertise & a Gentle Touch

With years of veterinary experience and a warm, light-filled presence, Dr. Freed combines medical skill with genuine kindness. “Her professionalism was extremely comforting,” says one grateful client, “and her beautiful presence was lovely.” Whether discussing diagnostic results, offering pain-management options, or performing a gentle euthanasia, the team’s expertise shines through. Each interaction underscores a dedication to both the science of veterinary medicine and the art of heartfelt care.

Thoughtful Keepsakes & Extra Touches

Small gestures can leave a lasting imprint on grieving hearts. Golden Years Veterinary Services offers personalized keepsakes—paw prints, locks of fur, heartfelt notes, and delicate butterfly garlands—so families can hold onto tangible memories. “That little paw print means the world to us,” reflects one owner, while another cherishes the “personalized note with flowers and a butterfly garland” waiting in their car. These thoughtful mementos honor the unique bond between pet and owner and provide solace long after the service is complete.

Age-Appropriate Family Involvement

Saying goodbye is never just between pet and owner; children often want to be part of the process, too. Dr. Freed gently guides young family members through age-appropriate explanations, helping them understand and honor their pet’s life. “She helped our daughters understand and be involved,” one parent remarks. By creating space for children’s questions and emotions, Golden Years Veterinary Services fosters healing across generations.
