Dr. Patterson was amazing kind and very gentle with My Snowy Girl of 10years cross over the Rainbow Bridge peacefully. Thank you so much. From Snowy’s Mom. Karen
We recently lost our beloved pet Cooper, who was 15 years old and his health was failing. It was a very hard decision, but Dr. Gersten was the best veterinarian to help us through this difficult time. Dr. Gersten is very professional, warm and caring and really made this process easier for us. She is easy to talk to and was on point with communication throughout. I was grateful that she went out of her way to deliver Cooper memorial so quickly and at a time that was convenient. Thank you Dr. Gersten. We highly would recommend her to friends and family.
Best decision ever. While my heart is broken, this option of a kind, gentle passing in our home, with no anxiety for my sweet girl was a blessing for both of us. Dr. Gibson was so sweet and compassionate. It is obvious she was born to do exactly this. Her respect for my baby was so comforting. I won't ever go a different route again.
Dr. Oudin was truly amazing throughout the entire euthanasia process for my dog, Lady. From start to finish, she showed such compassion, patience, and genuine care—not just for Lady, but for my family as well. It’s never an easy decision, but Dr. Oudin made the experience as peaceful and comforting as possible. I’m incredibly grateful for the kindness and respect shown during such a difficult time. Thank you for helping Lady pass with dignity and love. Highly recommend.
Dr. Lydia was truly incredible and far more than we could have hoped for as we made the heartbreaking decision to let our German Shepherd pass peacefully at home, surrounded by love and family. She was patient, compassionate, and … More
Dr. Daniela is an angel. I wasn’t sure what to expect going through the in-home euthanasia process and Dr. Daniela was kind enough to answer questions. I was able to give my beloved Scooby some of his favorites: cream cheese, whipped cream, and as we began: his absolute favorite: cheeseburgers. Dr. Daniela explained each step as we went along and it helped calm me, which helped keep Scooby calm. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Daniela for helping me give Scooby the opportunity to transition with dignity in the comfort of his home. I had Scooby for nearly 12 years, the ultimate best friend, he helped me through illness, the loss of my father. I rescued him from a high-kill shelter, but really, he rescued me. I am forever grateful that I was able to be with Scooby as he transitioned and became my guardian angel.❤️
