Myself and my husband had been discussing Charlie’s quality of life for a few days and on Sunday morning we knew it needed to be scheduled as soon as possible. We were able to schedule with Dr. Anna Peterson on Sunday afternoon. Neither of us had been with a pet during Euthanasia and had no idea what to expect. I had been crying for previous 48 hours. Dr. Peterson was a gift to our family. Having an at home option in rural MN was the best thing we could do for our sweet boy. I have felt such relief knowing he passed comfortably at home. Thank you from the Anderson Family!

Dr. Alexander was incredible. In such a sad situation, she was calm, kind, knowledgeable, understanding, empathetic and communicative. I’m very grateful to have had her managing such a difficult experience for my family and me.

Dr. Katie was amazing! She handled everything so professionally yet personally too. Ruger will be so missed by many (as she can attest to, she said it was the biggest crowd she'd had, there were 9 of us) and I will never take my pets to a cold impersonal clinic to pass if I can help it. Having your pet pass at home where they're comfortable and familiar was such a blessing!

It's taken me about three weeks to be able to post this. I met Dr. Guerrero at the emergency care facility after my cat Molly had a bleeding event. Dr. G diagnosed her with an oral cancer. It was incredibly difficult, but Dr. G's kind treatment of it made it bearable, and I began to care for Molly in a hospice-like setting at my home. When her time came some 7 or 8 weeks later, I made sure to schedule the in-home visit with Dr. Guerrero. She was on time, kind and very compassionate. We talked over Molly's condition first, and she reassured me about my decision. The process, while incredibly sad for me, was handled as well as I could imagine. Dr. G was gentle and kind to Molly. She was never in a rush. When it was over, she even brought in a little basket for Molly, and covered her in a blanket like she was sleeping and took her for cremation. A few days later Dr. G came by herself and delivered Molly's remains and a paw print souvenir. She was very kind and I think would have stayed to talk as long as I wanted, but I was still pretty inconsolable. I would recommend Dr. G when that time comes for you and your family. Thank you, Dr. Guerrero.

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. Sarah Clem was so nice and respectful. She truly cares about our pets and us. Dr. Clem did and said everything right. She gave us the time to say our goodbyes to our beloved Duke. Dr. Clem explained everything and made us feel very comfortable. She made Duke very comfortable. She brought Duke home very quickly. Dr. Sarah Clem is a wonderful soul and so thankful we made the decision to have her come to our home.
