Dr. Lutri is the most professional compassionate veterinarian I've ever had to encounter in such a sad time. My family and I were thankful and very appreciative at her gentleness in the situation at hand and would most definitely recommend her to anyone in need of putting their pet to sleep in the most respectful compassionate way.

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.

Wanda was 14 years old. She was such a big part of our family, we couldn’t imagine saying goodbye to her at the vet’s office. Everyone was here with her, including Kiko our 6 year old rescue. Dr John was everything we needed that day. Patient, understanding, compassionate and professional. Thank you to Dr John and Codapet, especially for the questionnaire to help understand if it was time to say goodbye. Wanda runs free now with Mel and Bruiser. Goodbye girl.

We are grateful for Dr. Blades' compassion, care, and professionalism while we said goodbye to our beloved pet and friend, Bella. I would recommend him to anyone who has to go through this heart-breaking part of sharing life with a dog.

We had Dr. Gary Hsia come to our house to let our 13 year old Lab Colby go to dog heaven. He was focused on making sure Colby was super comfortable. He was so compassionate to our family, Colby and our other dog. Dr. Gary was a 10 out of 10 - highly recommend Dr Gary and the home euthanasia experience.

Dr. Delia could not have been more compassionate in her work with me and my dog. Her presence, gentleness and pacing all contributed to a peaceful process at this heartbreaking time. Would recommend her to anyone facing the same situation.
