In my life I have been blessed to have a few dogs. Saying goodbye is part of the price we pay. Dr. Gordon made this horrible time easier. I will be eternally grateful for the kindness and compassion she showed not only our precious Baby Girl but also us.

She was very considerate and kind, and went at the pace of us. She asked about or pet and had us tell stores. The whole process was peaceful and gentle for our kitty who had cancer and was afraid of vets.

Dr April was so wonderful with not only our sweet Emily at the end of her life but also with our other pets, one of whom probably made her job a lot more difficult (by nature of being a golden retriever). She was deliberate with all her movements and was so respectful with Emily both during and after the procedure, which we so appreciated. If only we were given such dignity at our end.

When Dr. Kristina Pugh arrived, she met us and the dogs with a very calming presence. You could tell that both dogs felt very comfortable with her. She took the time to explain what to expect through the process and helped guide how we should handle our other dog during and after the loss of his brother. She was patient and kind and did not rush us through any of our goodbyes. We felt like we did the right thing for our boy and his illness and Dr. Kristina helped reinforce that. She’s checked in after the fact truly reiterating that she cared. I recommend Dr. Kristina Pugh to help anyone through this difficult decision and time.

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.

Dr. Lutgen DeWitt was so gentle helping me through the heartbreaking process of the in-home euthanasia of my best friend cat, Tara. I suspected it was the right thing to do for Tara, and Dr. Lutgen DeWitt thoughtfully weighed-in, presented options without pressure, and let me ultimately decide it was time for me to let Tara go. She treated Tara with respect and dignity, which was so sweet to watch. I'm still so sad, but grateful that my final memory of Tara is in the home she grew up in, eating her favorite meal on her favorite plate. Also worth noting, Dr. Lutgen DeWitt communicated via text to indicate she was on the way, arrived exactly on time, and was quick, efficient, and honest explaining the process and the paperwork. This is to say that none of the business of it got in the way of the heart of the matter. I'm thankful to Dr. Lutgen DeWitt for the graceful navigation.
