We couldn't be more grateful for Dr Wolf. She was amazing throughout the whole process of putting our sweet boy, Gavin, to rest. She went above and beyond throughout the whole process. We really loved the kind language and how she explained the whole process. She made one of the worst days of our lives a little bit better.

So thoughtful and knowledgeable. He could tell me everything that happened before it happened and prepared me for everything. Buddy was out of pain, and he let me take my time letting him go. So grateful for Dr Leatherman, and codeapet service. Made one of worst days of my life bearable.

Dr Stadler entered our home as a complete stranger greeted by our deep heartbreak as we reluctantly prepared to say goodbye to our handsome boy, Fenway. His litter mate brother, Wrigley, passed 8 months earlier and Fenway gave us much needed comfort and purpose while our hearts were still trying to mend. We weren’t prepared to say goodbye to him, but knew we could never be. Our boys were 13 and 13.8 years respectively and gave our family every ounce of joyful memories they could possibly give. Dr Stadler completed her assessment on a Saturday but honored our decision to give him another night to see if he could rebound from an illness that overcame him very quickly. The next morning she reached out first thing to ask how our boy was doing and we knew it would be a very difficult day of saying goodbye. We put his orthopedic bed on the deck during the coolerearly hours of the morning and watched the last sunrise with our beautiful boy. Dr Stadler arrived mid- morning and took our last photos with Fenway. While laying on his bed and favorite blanket, Dr Stadler gently administered a sedation that provided peaceful rest and with my hands cradling his head, Fenway crossed the rainbow bridge surrounded by our love. Though our hearts will take time to mend with this difficult loss, we take refuge knowing he isn’t struggling and are confident with our decision for this personal and peaceful transition. Dr Stadler exemplified professional and compassionate care for our beautiful boy and we are very grateful. We appreciate the opportunity to say goodbye to Fenway in his home while surrounded by love and beautiful memories. Dr Stadler departed that day with an understanding of the profound joy our labs, Wrigley & Fenway, brought to our family. Dr Stadler departed our home no longer a stranger, but as our friend. Thank you, Dr Stadler.

Dr. Schott treated our dog with gentleness, explained every step with patience and gave us the time and space to say goodbye. Her empathy and genuine care made an incredibly difficult experience a little more bearable. I would highly recommend Dr. Schott.

Dr. Michelli was so kind and understanding during the procedure. I appreciate that she explained every step of what she was doing, and gave us the space to grieve as Simba passed. It was a very sad experience, but I'm glad he got to go in the comfort of his home.

Best decision ever. While my heart is broken, this option of a kind, gentle passing in our home, with no anxiety for my sweet girl was a blessing for both of us. Dr. Gibson was so sweet and compassionate. It is obvious she was born to do exactly this. Her respect for my baby was so comforting. I won't ever go a different route again.
