On September 22nd, our family had to say the hardest goodbye to our beloved 9-year-old dog, Champion, after his battle with lymphoma. In the midst of our deepest heartbreak, Dr. Matthew Schaeffer was an absolute blessing. From the moment he arrived, Dr. Schaeffer showed an incredible amount of sincerity, professionalism, and genuine heart. He allowed Champion to pass peacefully outside in the yard, exactly where he loved to be, surrounded by myself, my son, and my significant other. Dr. Schaeffer made what could have been a terrifying experience into a beautiful, gentle, and easy transition into death for our sweet boy. When it was time to leave, Dr. Schaeffer took Champion with him for cremation, treating his body with the utmost dignity, respect, and care. He truly cared for my baby as if he were his own. We are absolutely heartbroken and cry for Champion daily—a piece of our family is truly missing. But we are comforted knowing his final moments were filled with peace and love. Thank you, Dr. Schaeffer, from the absolute bottom of our hearts, for your compassion from start to finish. You are a remarkable veterinarian and a truly wonderful human being.

Dr. Murray was wonderful. Very kind, compassionate, and patient, listening to the stories of Maeby that we needed to tell. The actual process was smooth and peaceful, just what we wanted for our sweet girl.

The Doctor was extremely empathetic and made it less stressful. She was the perfect person to have with us during the very sad moment.

We had to make the decision to send our sweet boy, Charlie, over the rainbow bridge after his heart disease had progressed. Charlie was our love and our life. We had him 13 of his 16 years. He went everywhere with us and was the sweetest, funniest little boy ever. Using Dr. Meadows and his assistant for the at home euthanasia was so much better for Charlie. Dr. Meadows and the assistant were so calming, kind, caring and compassionate to Charlie and to us. Charlie was in his home with his parents in his favorite napping room. This was the hardest decision we ever had to make as Charlie was like a child to us. But Dr. Meadows' team made it as bearable and calming as possible. If you have to decide on euthanasia for your beloved pet, I highly recommend this dignified and peaceful approach.
