Dr Gary responded to our needs last minute when we needed to put our Mochi down remotely on zoom. She went downhill so fast and we were so grateful to have his solid gentle presence while our daughter held mochi on zoom. He made her transition sacred and important and we felt his care from Australia, thank you Dr Gary
Dr. Crozier was so amazing, compassionate, and caring to us when we had to say goodbye to our dog. It’s never an easy thing but the whole experience made it feel peaceful and respectful and she really expressed genuine care. She was incredibly communicative and open with us and overall for a crappy situation, she made it a good experience. I was really nervous about making it as painless and fear-free for my dog as possible and she really aided in creating that space. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
She was so thoughtful and considerate. She allowed us time to grieve our loss without feeling pressured. I hope I never have to use this service again, but if I do, I'll ask for her by name.
Dr Martin was very caring and compassion and very comforting during this most difficult moment. I appreciated his quiet words of support. It was a no win situation and Lane's presence helped me get thru it.
The day finally came, and Dr.Duncan was truly a savior. She was calming, explained the process, and allowed us to share Otis’ stories and quirks. Thank you Dr.Duncan, you really made our goodbye a peaceful experience. And for that, we are very grateful.
Dr. Mumm was so very lovely and gave us a very special, gentle, and graceful experience of saying goodbye to our beloved kitty. We are so grateful!
