Helping Bowie transition was one of the hardest moments of my life, and I truly believe every best friend deserves the kind of goodbye Dr. Halbert gave him. She came to our home with flowers. She lit a candle. She treated Bowie with so much tenderness and respect, and she never made the experience feel clinical or rushed. She even sang a song for him, which was so beautiful and something I will never forget. Bowie was able to leave this life peacefully, in my arms, surrounded by love. Afterward, we placed him in a wagon filled with flowers and walked him out together. It was heartbreaking, but it was also sacred and incredibly beautiful. If you ever have to make this impossible decision for your best friend, this is how I would want them to go. Every animal deserves this kind of dignity, love, and peaceful transition. I will be grateful to Dr. Halbert forever.

She was so wonderful! She was caring and patient and her energy was so calming. I’m so glad she’s the one who came to do this with our sweet pup!

She was very gentle and took the time to talk to us and get our poor sweet doggy to feel comfortable with her. She was diligent and tried to be discreet about putting the pee pads underneath him and also scurrying to get one when he started to throw up. We also appreciated that she was able to fit us in. I had left a message about five in the morning and she was able to come at noon. The basket with the cozy blankets that she took his body out in was very sweet. And we appreciate it that we did not need to select an urn right then and there. She texted me photos of the options and we were able to text her a few days later with our choice

She did a very good job of a very difficult task. I know the job is not easy or pleasant, but I am thankful there is someone out there to provide this service.

I cannot express enough gratitude for Dr. Courtney Mills and the compassionate care she provided during one of the most difficult moments in our family's life. Saying goodbye to our beloved dog was an incredibly heart-wrenching experience, but Dr. Mills ensured that we felt supported and understood every step of the way. From the moment we met, it was clear that Dr. Mills is not only knowledgeable but also deeply caring. Her gentle demeanor put us at ease, allowing us to focus on spending precious final moments with our Jet. In this difficult time, Dr. Mills helped us navigate the overwhelming emotions surrounding our loss. We felt that we were in capable, compassionate hands, and her genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction. It's comforting to know that there are veterinarians like her who dedicate themselves to providing such compassionate care. Thank you, Dr. Mills, for your kindness, support, and professionalism. You helped us honor our dog's life lovingly and peacefully, and we will forever be thankful for your presence during this trying time. The Darmer Family

Dr. Torres was wonderful with our much loved bulldog, Chugg. Dr. Torres was so patient with us, explaining the process and making Chugg comfortable at every step. We are grateful for her kindness and professionalism, helping us say goodbye to our little guy in the most gentle way possible. We cannot thank her enough.
