Dr. Sara was so kind and caring. She was patient and understanding. She recognized our need to just “be” with our sweet Jack a little while longer. She showed tons of love for Lil Jack. She gave us a safe space to “ugly cry” as we helped our sweet boy cross the rainbow bridge. Thank you, Dr. Sara for helping make one of the most painful things we’ve ever had to do hurt just a little less with your love and compassion for “furbabies” & their humans!

I had never heard of end of life care at home. Making the appointment was very difficult. Dr. Mary was wonderful. She was kind, carrying, and compassionate. Oreo ( Cookie) was a part of our family since she was born. We loved her dearly. Dr. Mary made us feel comfortable. She was so gentle with Cookie. Our family was treated with compassion. I made the right decision and will always choose end of life care at home. Thank you Dr. Mary. Thank you for everything you do.

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. Briell was so thoughtful and compassionate during the process. She didn't rush anything and really helped give us closure. We appreciated being able to say goodbye to our beloved pet in the comfort of our own home.

Dr. Wolfingbarger provided us with such compassionate and respectful care during one of the hardest moments of our lives. When we had to make the decision to euthanize our beloved cat, Nene, Dr. Wolfingbarger treated him—and us—with incredible kindness, patience, and understanding. She took the time to explain everything, never rushed us, and made sure Nene was comfortable and surrounded by love. We are deeply grateful for the empathy and professionalism shown during such a painful experience. I truly can’t imagine having gone through this without such caring support.

Though it was utmost painful and sad decision we had to let our beloved Gucci go. Dr. Lowman reassured us of our decision, and carried out the process with such compassion and heart warming. Gucci had a calming, pain free, and was laid to rest peacefully in our arms. We were given enough time to say goodbye to him. We are very thankful to Dr. Lowman for her professionalism, communication, and compassion from start to finish, and a heart felt sympathy card as we are still missing his presence. We highly recommend Dr. Lowman to any pet parents looking for a veterinarian for in home euthanasia. Thank you so much Dr. Lowman, and Best wishes to you!
