About Us
Compassionate End of Life
Veterinary Services
Peaceful Passage was founded in 2009 when Dr. Julie Rabinowitz recognized the benefits of having your pet put to sleep at home in order to ease the pain and difficulty of getting to the veterinary office.
Our goal is to ensure families feel supported, comforted, and prepared; ultimately strengthening the human-animal bond and creating the most peaceful End of Life experience possible.
