You know they care when they recommend a loss of pet book, as well as comfort your pre-teen children while they are there. Then to top it off THEY have tears in their eyes when you are leaving, and make sure to assure you and your children your pet is in good hands. 10/5 would recommend.

Saying goodbye to our beloved Suzi was devastating but having Chandra and David care for her with such kindness made the whole process manageable and in the end beautiful. They are wonderful humans who care for our fur babies as they do their own. They should be blessed a million times over for doing this difficult work with such Grace. Thank you for being there for me and my husband and for sweet Suzi.

The Resting Pawz crew was amazing. I couldn't imagine saying goodbye to my best girl in any other fashion. They were compassionate beyond words, and made one of the toughest days I've experienced a little bit easier. It was worth every penny to get to say goodbye in our own home where she felt comfortable and calm. I would absolutely recommend them to any pet owner faced with the decision of end of life care for a pet. I can't thank them enough. Spenser Sanders

On a rating of 1 to 5, I give Chandra and Dave a 1000. They were so kind, caring and made this whole process so much easier. We're still not over losing our sweet-sweet Libby. i don't think we ever will be. However, I would highly recommend Resting Pawz, if the time comes when your pet needs some help getting to that Rainbow Bridge.

One of the hardest things we’ve had to do, that being said we definitely made the right decision with resting paws. They came to our home so that he would be in a loving, familiar place. Dave was so attentive to Romeo and our feelings. Highly recommended!

This is a painful decision to make for any pet owner. Resting Pawz really made it easier for me. They were so kind and compassionate throughout the process. They gave me the time I needed to be alone with my old boy and let my other pets see what was going on. I have some beautiful items to honor my dog. Thank you for being so great through such a hard time.

I called Chandra in tears after calling many other vets in the area where they said they could not see our dog until many hours later. Our dog had already been suffering for hours as her symptoms started at 2:30am. The situation was dire. Chandra was kind and empathetic, she was able to get us into a vet immediately and met us there to take our Dixie girl with her to be cremated. We now have a beautiful wooden urn and paw print to remember our sweet girl. Our family is so thankful to have found Resting Pawz. They know how to be kind, supportive, and professional during this extremely difficult time.

We had to put down our beloved Cooper on 12/8 23. I can't express enough the care and compassion Dave and Chandra gave us during that time. As hard as it was to carry out our wishes, they were simply amazing. Thank you

Chandra and David Finn

We’ve had the pleasure of calling the Black Hills home for 45+ years. We both were born & raised here & so were our families. Our lives revolve around our pets. They’re our family. We’ve had the honor of having many pets a part of our family. We’ve had many jobs in our community, however, we’ve seen a need for pet after-life care. We are both devoted to bringing a superior level of care & compassion to this industry.
