Keri was such a kind person and made this horrible day for our family as easy on us and our beloved Loki as possible. Our dog Loki was comfortable with her from the moment she arrived. She showed real care and concern for us all and showed Loki so much love. She was gentle and not rushed, guided us step by step through the process and did not make the situation uncomfortable or strained by having an outsider there. We really appreciated the gentle and kind way she approached us all, especially Loki, she made a terribly sad day less bad for our family. Highly recommend Keri.

We found at home euthanasia was the right decision for our family - it was much more intimate than we've had in clinical office setting in the past. Dr. Silvesti graciously squeezed us in last minute that day. We were able to hold our fur baby and take our time. Dr. Silvesti took the time to listen to how our sweet baby came into our lives and wrote us the most beautiful hand written sympathy card a few weeks after. Saying goodbye to a pet, a part of your family, is the hardest, most difficult part of being a pet parent. Dr. Lauren Silvesti made this incredibly difficult experience better just by her kindness, patience, and empathetic nature throughout the whole process. We strongly recommend exploring this option when the time comes to say goodbye to your beloved pet.

Dr. Houck was absolutely wonderful during such a heartbreaking time. She answered all of my questions the day before we had to euthanize our sweet Wally. She helped calm my nerves when I second guessed whether I was making the right decision. Dr. Houck was extremely professional and such a calm and reassuring presence throughout the entire process. We can never thank her enough for helping our Wally boy cross the Rainbow Bridge surrounded by my husband, son, and I in our own yard so he could enjoy the fresh air at home in his final moments.

Mac was my first pet- my kitty cat of 18 years. I consider myself very fortunate to have had him as a buddy for so long. So when he showed signs of his time being up, I knew from a friend -in home pet euthanasia- was a peaceful goodbye. Dr. John Murray was beyond thoughtful and professional with amazing bedside manner. Mac had a wonderful last day at home and I held him in my arms as we said goodbye. It was beyond hard, but I also wouldn’t have it any other way looking back. Mac hated his car carrier, the car, a vet office is so cold. We were in our beautiful, sunny room, comfortable and well, I’d want to go the same way! Thank you again for being so wonderful to our sweet baby.

Dr. Causey showed genuine caring for our dog Luna. Dr. Causey examined her and agreed it was time for her to pass. That eased our anxiety over the timing of this event. Dr. Causey was very gentle and loving to Luna during the whole process. Even after Luna had passed Dr. Causey adjusted her position so Luna looked more comfortable for the trip back to Dr. Causey’s office for cremation. Dr. Causey informed us what to expect at all times during the event. It is truly a gift to be able to hold our beloved pet and her feel our love as she passed.
