Dr. Delia is truly one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She gave us peace of mind by answering all of our questions and throughly explaining what our baby girl was experiencing. We are so happy that our Mira was surrounded by love and comfort in her final moments.

Dr. Sarah is the best choice for anyone who loves their pet. Saying goodbye is difficult enough but Dr. Sarah gave us time to do and say what we needed before beginning her procedure. It was done with gentleness and compassion. We’ll be forever thankful for contacting Solace and Dr Sarah.

When Dr Martin arrived, my little guy Barney ran to the door to greet him like he did all guests. He even barked at him, before jumping up to him to get attention. Dr Martin greeted him back, warmly and sincerely. He was playful with Barney while explaining the process to us. Lane made a horrible no win situation more acceptable with his calm demeanor and soothing words. I can't thank Dr Martin enough for helping little Barney come to peaceful end to his life's journey.

Dr. Whala was super careful and gentle. She made sure we fully understood the process, explained each step, was patient, considerate and was understanding during a very stressful time. She was emotionally present for both of my pets and pet parents during both difficult times. Dr. Whala was very attentive to Bubba the entire time including his body language to ensure a smooth transition. She offered and left mementos of both my cat Daffanie and Flemish Giant Bubba. She was the perfect person to come out and assist me, Bubba and Daffanie and they were in great hands with her. Thank you so much Dr. Whala for helping me, Daffanie and Bubba. You are an angel. Thank you for bringing them home!

We recently had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to our dog, Duke, at home. Dr. Littlejohn provided in-home euthanasia, and I can honestly say she helped carry us through one of the worst days of our lives. She was gentle, patient, and incredibly respectful of both Duke and our grief. She explained everything calmly, gave us all the time we needed, and never made us feel rushed. The way she handled Duke’s passing was full of dignity and care. It’s difficult to put this experience into words, but we are deeply grateful for her compassion. She made an unbearable moment feel as peaceful as it could possibly be.
