About Beyond the Tides
Beyond the Tides provides end of life care for beloved pets, honoring the bond you share and the life they've lived. We believe the final journey should be as gentle as the love that carried them through their life.
Our approach is rooted in compassion, dignity and presence. By coming to your home, we allow pets to remain where they feel safest, and families to say goodbye in a way that feels personal and meaningful. We are there every step of the way, offering guidance, clarity and gentle care.
Located in Sandwich, we are proud to serve families on Cape Cod and the Islands and the South Shore of Massachusetts.
Meet Dr. Kendall Stratton
I am the veterinarian behind Beyond the Tides. With over 15 years in clinical practice, I have found the greatest fulfillment in supporting families through end of life care and helping them navigate this deeply personal decision with compassion and clarity.
In my experience with my own pets, being able to say goodbye in the comfort of my home was paramount. It provided a sense of peace and calm that shaped my belief that families deserve this option when the time comes. It is the greatest honor that I am able to provide this service to owners and their pets.
Through Beyond the Tides, I offer in home consultation, pet hospice care, and end of life care that honors the bond you share with your pet. My goal is to support both pets and their families with dignity, empathy, and respect.
