We greatly appreciated the phone call a few hours before the appointment; she was professional and friendly. At the appointment, she was prompt and courteous, talked to everyone there, including our dog. She kept her voice quiet and talked us through everything we needed to know. It was very quick, completely painless for our dog, and she quietly left while we grieved. I felt a tug to be a more polite host and encourage her to stay, but in the end, I was grateful for her quiet exit so we wouldn't have to put on a brave face. In a moment that is the hardest, she made it as easy, smooth, and peaceful as possible. We're grateful to this service - being able to say goodbye at home was priceless - and deeply grateful to Dr. Dixon.

Dr. Whala was wonderful. I've never met a vet before that I actually liked. She was so kind, thoughtful, she was truly there for me when I needed someone to be there the most. She handled my dogs euthenasia with the upmost respect, and tact, and sincerity. It was very important to me that my dog kept his dignity, and she showed that was something she would ensure happened. I can't recommend her highly enough. Dr. Whala, if you're reading this, thank you again, from the bottom of my heart. You're a real one.

I truly don’t know where to begin, but “thank you” doesn’t begin to describe how much we appreciate and are so grateful for Dr. Jacob. As an RN with 20+ years of experience and a rescue/foster mom to many fur babies over the years, I always pray for the doc who has the ability to have bedside manner and skill. That’s a rarity. Dr Jacob is one of those rare physicians who truly embodies both qualities. My husband and I knew it immediately. Our boy Tank did, too. He would have made it known immediately if he didn’t feel safe-even if it took his last breath to do so. He never flinched when Doc stepped into our home. That told me all I needed to know. Our boy was able to transition peacefully because of this gentleman. He gave our boy what we couldn’t-a comfortable and gentle ending to a life well lived surrounded by the ones he loved and in the place he was most comfortable. All of us were treated with the utmost respect and kindness from the time he arrived until the moment he left with our soulmutt. We are eternally grateful for him. His willingness to subject himself to such situations when so few vets are willing to now is admirable. It may be a job, but providers are human, too. It carries over to them as well. He’s willing to subject himself to that in order to give a family and their beloved animal the most peaceful final goodbye possible. We will always be grateful and respect the wonderful vet who treated each of us with such kindness, respect, and professionalism during such an emotional, gut wrenching, heartbreaking time. It made a horrible evening a bit less painful for each of us. We thank you. I know Tank does, too. You are fulfilling a calling and it showed. Nurses don’t give praise easily, but you are more than deserving. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Furever and always…Ryan, Natalie, Tank, and Weller❤️‍🩹

Putting my beloved Avery down was the hardest day of my life. While there is no easy way to do that, Dr. Noe made the experience so much better. From the moment she came to my house, her calm presence put everyone at ease, including my dog. She was professional, yet spoke as if she had known Avery for years. She gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye to our baby without feeling rushed. After Avery passed, Dr. Noe gave a heartfelt speech and hugged us all. I couldn't imagine having to euthanize in any other way.

We are so grateful that Dr. Courtney White was available to us, last minute nonetheless. We were able to say goodbye to our precious boy Radar in his favorite spot in our backyard. Dr. White was so kind and compassionate, explaining the process as it progressed, allowing us to make the decisions we could. She truly understood the bond we had with our boy. We will cherish the memory of him forever ❤️
