Gentleness
Sedation first, always, so your companion is calm and pain-free. Every step is soft, quiet, and kind.
Our promise
The gentleness behind every goodbye
Peaceful Paws NY exists for one tender purpose: to make sure no family in our community has to face the loss of a beloved dog or cat alone, or in a place that feels cold or rushed.
We came to this work the same way most people who love animals do — by saying goodbye to companions of our own, and learning how much the manner of that goodbye matters.
For so long, a pet’s final moments often meant a hurried trip to a clinic, a cold table, and a waiting room full of strangers. We believe the dogs and cats who give us a lifetime of devotion deserve something gentler: a calm, unhurried farewell, in a place where they feel safe, surrounded by the people who love them. That belief is the whole reason Peaceful Paws NY exists.
A trusted Sunnyside practice
A service of Skillman Animal Clinic
Familiar, veterinarian-led care — right to the end
Peaceful Paws NY is the end-of-life service of Skillman Animal Clinic, a trusted neighbourhood practice in Sunnyside, Queens, led by Dr. Ragaei Tadros.
That connection matters. It means this most tender chapter is guided by the same kind of experienced, compassionate hands that families here have long trusted with the dogs and cats they love — and that hospice, the goodbye itself, and aftercare can all be held in one familiar, caring place.
What we promise
Four gentle commitments
However hard the day, these are the things we will always hold to — for your dog or cat, and for you.
Time
We never watch the clock. You’ll have all the time you need, before and after — the moment is yours.
No rushing
No pressure to decide, no hurry on the day. We move only at your pace, following your lead at every turn.
Dignity
Your dog or cat is treated with the tenderness and respect they’ve always deserved — as family.
How it works, simply
Because we’re part of Skillman Animal Clinic, reaching us is straightforward. When you call, you speak with people who understand both the medicine and the heartache. We’ll talk through whether an in-home or in-clinic goodbye feels right, arrange a time that suits your family, and explain everything — gently, and with no surprises.
From hospice and quality-of-life support, to the goodbye itself, to respectful aftercare and keepsakes, the whole journey can be held in one trusted place. That continuity means fewer unfamiliar faces in a tender time, and one caring team beside you throughout.
A caring voice, any time
We’re here when you’re ready
Whether the time is near or you’re simply gathering your thoughts, a caring voice is waiting. There is never any pressure — only support, whenever you need it.
