Dr. Mays helped my dog, Dakotah, cross the bridge on Sept 1st, and I am so grateful I found her. Losing a pet is already a soul-crushing experience, but Dr. Mays made the entire process so much gentler. She allowed me to walk Dakotah to the bridge stress-free, in the comfort of her own home, and her compassion turned an unbearable situation into something peaceful. I can't praise her enough — she was truly a godsend, and I'll always be thankful for how she cared for Dakotah and for me in that moment. If you're facing this same heartbreaking decision, Dr. Mays is who you want by your side.
Dr Mark was so kind and caring. Reassured us that we were doing the right thing and that Rocky was well loved through his life and by doing this, we were continuing to love him. He sat with us for a long time before and after. He explained everything and let us have any questions.It was nice being able to do this on our own home where he was comfortable. We are still sad, but he made it a little easier.
Dr. Adarraga was kind, compassionate and professional. He read the history we provided as part of the online intake form and came to our cats aid sooner than expected. When you are making these decisions to end the suffering of your family pet, it’s agonizing and hard. You’re never sure if it’s the right thing to do or the right time. When he arrived he did his exam and reassured us that it was in her best interest and made the process feel like the best possible decision. Thanks so much!
Dr. Magnotta was such a blessing to us. She was extremely kind, got to know our animals and us, and was helpful for every step. As lifelong animal lovers and owners, we knew what happened to our special Zoe was not our first, but Dr. Magnotta's kindness and professionalism removed the stress of having to bring our sick animal to a place she hated. Zoe was comfortable, surrounded by our family's love, and handled with care. Thank you, Dr. Magnotta.
Dr. Poole was beyond compassionate and caring when it came to my dog Charles crossing the rainbow bridge. She explained everything and took time to get to know all my dogs and make sure they were comfortable. It’s the hardest decision a pet parent has to make but I couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide us through it. Thank you for bringing peace to Charles 💜
Dr Duncan was not only sympathetic and kind but so nuturing to both Boomer and myself. Truely the hardest decision in putting down my service dog she made the experience beautiful. Boomer crossed the rainbow bridge not on pain but in comfort and love. I am forever grateful
