Dr. Duvall did a fantastic job easing our dog out of this world, and in tending to our human needs and concerns as well. She really went the extra mile and was full of compassion for all of us. I can't imagine how the inherently difficult situation could have been made any easier.

Wow! Tank has been my ride-or-die, my BFF and my baby boy for 15 years. I knew his time was coming soon but you're never truly ready. I wanted to let him pass peacefully at home & I found Dr. Lisa. The scheduling was super simple, pricing was up front. While I had the option to buy keepsakes I didn't feel like I was being pressured or marketed to. Dr. Lisa kept the conversation via text simple and direct. She answered all my questions ahead of time. We have 3 dogs in addition to Tank and they can be a little crazy when company arrives. She handled them with grace and they settled down with her so quickly. She showed Tank love and attention. She gave him big dose of a pain med subcutaneously. He ate steak while she did it so he didn't feel anything. Then he fell asleep (just sleeping... not gone yet). I haven't seen in sleep that comfortably in, I dont even know how long. I hadn't realized how much his body had been working. So he slept in my lap and we pet him. Dr. Lisa loved on our other dogs so we had time with Tank. She made sure we were ready before she gave him the sedative, and then the med that would let him pass. I had questions about what to expect from the other 3 dogs and she gently informed me. Then she stepped outside and gave us all the time we needed. We were warned that due to his size, she would need assistance getting him into the car. We had no problem helping her. We carried him to her car and she has a thoughtful backdrop that he laid in front of for his last car ride. She welcomed the hugs and the tears. He was THE BEST dog and I could not have asked for a better departure for him. We ADORE Dr. Lisa and can't thank her enough for helping us let Tank cross the rainbow bridge with all the love, comfort and peace he deserved.

It's the service you never want but when it comes I was so thankful for Dr. Todd. She was so compassionate and patient with us. Our sweet cat was able to cross the rainbow bridge in the comfort of his home without the stress of being moved to a vets office in his final hours. She even brought his ashes back to us. I can't thank her enough for this. We also had to move his appointment up and she was quick to move to his needs. I hope I don't need their services for a long time for my other fur babies but I will use her again in the very, very distant future.

We were all devastated when it came time to put our beloved Nani to rest. I'm very glad that we were able to find Dr. Lowman to perform the procedure at our house. Dr. Lowman was very sensitive and empathetic to our feelings. She had a gentle yet professional way about her. She showed competency... someone who's done this many times before but also recognizing that it's different every time. Our Nani went to the rainbow bridge peacefully.

She was wonderful and sympathetic. Our Holly passed peacefully, Dr. Thomason gave us private time to grieve and was sensitive to our desire to expedite the process of cremation and returning Holly to us.
