The form for the service was very easy to complete. I appreciated this since making this decision was very difficult and I was fraught with emotion. I wanted my beloved cat Buddy to have a pain free transition at our home. He was 18 years. His decline was rapid; he became extremely ill in the span of a week with advanced kidney disease. Dr. Lutri was so gentle and loving to Buddy. She explained every step of the process and asked me before each step if I was ready to move to the next. Dr. Lutri was gracious, kind, and compassionate. She has the most peaceful, calm, loving presence and a profound caring for the pets she serves and their pet guardians. She comforted me greatly as she took care of my magnificent boy. She genuinely understood the magical connection I had with Buddy and treated him so tenderly when she put his sweet body into a beautiful bed to transport him the the crematorium. I felt like Dr. Lutri was an angel sent to me in my dire time of need and loss. She was exceptional in every way. She is a talented doctor overflowing with empathy and understanding who is beautiful inside and out.

Dr. Devlin was so compassionate and gentle with my sweet boy. He explained everything and I was so very thankful for that. He was thorough and didn't leave me with any questions.

We would have loved having our kitty live longer than 18 years. My husband and I both believe quality of life not quantity. Therefore when it was clear there was no quality in our kitty’s life Dr Magnotta came to our home and helped us through this sad situation. I would recommend her highly.

Dr. Ortman was able to come out the next day to provide a peaceful, at-home euthanasia for our kitty Katsu. Katsu's illness and decline was rather sudden, and after having prior kitties pass away without me present, I swore I would be there in the future. Despite extensive treatment at her vet, we knew it was unfair to ask her to stay with us longer when she was in pain that we couldn't stop. This service allowed me to hold her and let her remain in a peaceful environment at home surrounded by love, rather that stress her by taking her back to the vet. She was surrounded by her familiar smells, sounds, and home. I cannot thank Dr. Ortman enough for his calm compassion when all I wanted to do was sob. He had a quiet dignity and approach that helped me stay calm for Katsu. It takes a special heart to do this for families, and I am so grateful for his.

Losing my boy of 16 years has devastated me, and his little sister. Dr. Christina spent time loving him, making sure he was calm and allowing me the time I needed with him. She explained everything step by step, and has such a gentle, calming presence. I hated having to go through this, but I will forever be grateful to Dr. Christina for her kindness.

We are deeply thankful to Dr. Shannon Nakaya for the care and compassion she showed during our beloved dog Giggsy’s final moments. Saying goodbye was an incredibly painful decision and a very difficult day for us, but her kindness, patience, and gentle approach helped ease the burden. Dr. Nakaya guided us through the process with understanding and treated Giggsy with such tenderness and respect. Her compassion and professionalism truly made all the difference during this heartbreaking time.
