Paws at Peace

For pet owners in Oklahoma facing the heart-wrenching decision of saying goodbye to a beloved companion, **Paws at Peace**, led by the deeply compassionate **Dr. Reeves**, provides specialized and comforting end-of-life veterinary care. Operating primarily out of the Edmond, OK, area, this practice focuses on delivering a peaceful, dignified transition for pets through in-home services, ensuring the final moments are spent in the safest and most familiar environment: your own home, surrounded by loved ones.

Dr. Reeves is consistently described by clients as one of the most compassionate, respectful, and gentle individuals they have ever encountered during this immensely difficult time. His approach is designed to make an "unpleasant experience more bearable," focusing on the pet's comfort and the family's emotional needs.

The service is highly personalized, as demonstrated by the case of Ragnar, a magnificent 10-year-old German Shepherd. Dr. Reeves not only arrived promptly but was knowledgeable about the specific, "terrible cancer" Ragnar had, offering a full, clear explanation that surpassed the previous general veterinarians. This depth of medical understanding, combined with an unhurried, gentle, and caring process—including time for goodbyes and even heartfelt hugs—is the hallmark of Paws at Peace. The goal is to facilitate a passing where the pet "peacefully passed in the comfort of her own home surrounded by her loved ones," creating a truly serene and final memory for pet parents across the Oklahoma City metro area.

While Paws at Peace is based in Edmond, OK, its specialty is providing services directly to clients in their homes throughout the service area, which includes Edmond, West Guthrie, Piedmont, Yukon, Warr Acres, Bethany, Nichols Hills, The Village, and North of I-40 OKC. This in-home model significantly reduces the stress associated with transporting a sick or elderly pet to a clinic.
