Dr. Kellie was so kind in a situation we thought we'd never be in. She was so thoughtful and really did everything with such care. We never felt uncomfortable, rushed, on display, or anything but true care and professionalism. She gave us time to spend with our girl alone and told us to take our time, then sent a hand written note to our home several days later. If you find yourself in this terrible situation, Dr. Ayle is the person you want to help your sweet one go.
In such a difficult time, Dr Somerset was professional, caring, supportive, and so so sweet. It made a difficult decision so much easier. I could not have asked for a better vet to help say goodbye to my little love.
She was very caring and gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye to my precious Vernie. I was very thankful for the opportunity to say goodbye to her in the comfort of her own home.
Dr Walton gave me the best at-home euthanasia experience I have ever had, and I've lost many pets at home over the years. She was not only compassionate and patient, but so very thoughtful. It made a very difficult situation as easy as it could have been. I highly recommend her.
Dr. Collins was absolutely amazing with my family and with my two precious fur babies, Apollo and Aphrodite, whom I had to say goodbye to on the same day. It was one of the hardest days imaginable, and her kindness and compassion meant more to me than I can ever put into words. She arrived right on time and was incredibly gentle and caring with Apollo and Aphrodite, but she was just as gentle with me and my family, which I desperately needed in that moment. She treated my babies with such dignity, love, and respect throughout the entire process. She even brought her husband with her to help carry Apollo and Aphrodite out of our home afterward so that my family and I wouldn’t have to endure that incredibly difficult part ourselves. That thoughtful act of kindness is something I will never forget. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Collins. During one of the most heartbreaking moments of my life, she gave my babies a peaceful and dignified goodbye and showed my family so much compassion. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU, Dr. Collins, for being so incredibly kind and for taking such wonderful care of Apollo and Aphrodite. ❤️🐾
