Dr. Toni was very friendly, thoughtful, and compassionate. Our boy Joe went to sleep his final time peaceful, no pain. We have a second lab, and I wouldn't think twice about asking for her services if we needed them God forbid. Dr Toni has a gift, as bad as it was to put Joe asleep, she put Joe and me somewhat of at ease.

Dr. Clem was super kind, patient, and loving. She didn't rush the process, and shared in our memories of Ditzy with compassion and humor. I unabashedly recommend her to the highest degree.

Dr. Lori was amazing - she was so kind and wonderful on this difficult day. Our beloved dog passed peacefully with her assistance. I could not have asked for a better person to help him cross the rainbow bridge. I am so thankful for Dr. Lori's skill and compassion. I would highly recommend her without hesitation.

Dr. Wratten came to our home to put our sweet dog Darla to rest. She is very warm, understanding and caring and made a very difficult time as stress free and heartwarming as possible. The entire process went smoothly and she followed through to make sure Darla's ashes made it home. Anybody who is faced with having to put their best friend to rest, this is the best. At home, in the place they loved, with the people they loved around them, with a caring doctor like Dr. Wratten. Can't thank you enough.

My beautiful, beloved older dog had been diagnosed with a life ending condition and the time had come when she needed help transitioning. Instead of “the last car ride”, I decided on looking into having a vet come to my home. I’m so glad it was Dr. Sarah Clem. She is knowledge in her field of animal medicine, explaining each procedure, while also having a sincere and caring presence which calmed my dog as well as myself. She took loving care of my fur baby’s body as she prepared to take her with her. I chose to have the ashes returned to me and was contacted by Dr. Clem in what seemed to be a short time to arrange to have the ashes delivered. The price is comparable with vet office fees and as I mentioned, I no last car ride for your dog and no driving home without your fur baby. It’s such a difficult time, saying goodbye to a beloved pet. It’s never easy on the heart. I am very thankful Dr. Sarah Clem truly made it her priority to make it easier for both my dog and I.

Our family has never had to go through a loss of a family pet through euthanasia until now. We decided doing it at home was the best for both Mega and ourselves. And let me tell you, Dr Angela was the best during the whole process. The attention to small things really made this trying time easier to handle. Her communication and caring made us feel like she really felt for our beloved Mega. Even her vehicle was set up like a chapel for a great send-off. Will definitely recommend and use Dr Angela in the future. 2PAWS UP!
