Arms of Aloha

At our most vulnerable moment, the moment you realize it is best for your dear one to go on to another journey, the two women from Arms of Aloha guided us and performed the procedure in the most gentle and kind manner you could ever hope for. Not only were they incredibly professional in their duties but they were understanding and warm in their handling of our beloved Reiko as well as with us. A sad day indeed but it was greatly aided by Arms of Aloha. If the need for this service arises, by all means....Arms of Aloha is THE best one to call for help. You will not be disappointed.

We are so incredibly grateful to Arms of Aloha and especially Dr. Naum for the compassion, patience, and kindness she showed during one of the hardest moments for our family. Saying goodbye to our beloved Bella was heartbreaking, but having the procedure done in our home made such a difference. It was calm, peaceful, and so much less stressful for her. Dr. Naum took her time, explained everything gently, and gave us the space we needed. Her presence was steady and reassuring, and we truly felt that Bella was treated with dignity and love. Bella gave so much to our lives, and we’re thankful her final moments were comfortable and surrounded by family. We highly recommend Arms of Aloha to anyone facing this difficult decision — they bring care and humanity to an incredibly emotional time. 💛

I am extremely grateful that Arms of Aloha is available to provide this valuable service that allowed my Emma to pass peacefully at home, with myself and her sister beside her. This is my second experience using Dr. Naun and it is an extremely emotional and stressful decision. But Dr. Naun calmly walked me through every step of the procedure. Emma hated going to the vet, so it is with love and peace in my heart that I was able to provide one final gift to her after all the happiness that she provided me during her short 16 years -- letting her go to relieve her suffering and doing it where she was most comfortable and happy. Thank you to Dr. Naun, Colette and the staff at Arms of Aloha.

We recently lost our family dog who was about 17-18yrs old (Pictured). We knew the time was coming and wanted to relieve him of his pain. After finding information on Arms of Aloha through our vet (Waipahu Waikele Pet Hospital), we reached out regarding at-home euthanization and had all of our questions answered easily through their website and over the phone. The staff is very informative and caring when discussing the process and made scheduling easy. When the day came, Dr. Amanda was super communicative with us, and gentle with our furry friend. She talked us through the process, gave us as much time as we needed, and handled with so much care. The ashes were returned to us in less than a week along with keepsakes. We deeply appreciate the condolences cards and calls we received while we went through this hard time. Arms of Aloha truly understands how hard it can be to lose a pet, and provide so much help to make the situation a little bit easier ❤️

Our beautiful Shih Tzu Joy passed Thursday morning in my arms. 14 years of love from her. We are devastated. But Arms of Aloha gave us peace with her after care and kindness. They came to our home and helped us make the transition to let her go. She spent the day in our home. We laid her out peacefully and covered her in roses and leis.

I had to put Emma, my 15-year-old mixed breed down because of a heart condition. Emma was calm, but my 5-year-old schnauzer was agitated. Dr. Carolyn spoke soothingly to my schnauzer, calming her, while making sure that Emma was calm. She gave us all the time we needed before and after. Emma's passing was peaceful and pain-free. It helped give me peace at a heart-breaking time. I would recommend Arms of Aloha to anyone who is in the wrenching position of having to let their fur baby pass on.

I faced the difficult decision that I knew was the time to make, to let my 13 year old Doberman, Baron go. I was referred to Arms of Aloha to a friend who had recently used them. I called and spoke to Chris. She was kind, understanding and easy to work with. I scheduled a day, which I then cancelled as my boy seemed to be rallying. She was again supportive and told me to call if I needed anything. (Read the very reasonable cancellation policy). Fast forward a month, this time it was the time. I made an appointment and Dr. Amanda came to my home, and she was sweet, knowledgeable and clearly loves animals. Everything was explained, and my two children (21 & 17 years old… not littles) were there. We all sat with Baron and spoke to him, gave him love and pets, told him what a wonderful family member he had been. He literally slipped peacefully off to sleep…. He had a couple little sighs and closed his eyes and drifted off. Such a sweet touch is that ‘Somewhere over the Rainbow’ played softly on Amanda’s car radio, and she and my son placed Baron on a blanket ‘carrying sling’ that had a pillow and a blanket on it, then carried him to her car. He looked so comfortable, that visual was a nice last impression. Dr. Amanda asked if we had any other questions for her, and gave us all hugs. She said it was her honor to get to let our great dog go and be comfortable. All things said, there couldn’t have been a better way to let our sweet boy go. Something so traumatic was made peaceful. What an amazing service they offer. I’ll never, ever, take a pet to the vet (a place they hate) to put them down again. In their home, with what’s happy and familiar and comfortable to them is the way to go. Worth every penny. Thank you Arms or Aloha, and especially to Chris and Dr. Amanda, you’re good people.
