Dr. Michelle Vosburg was so very kind and sympathetic. She greatly eased such a sad occasion, putting down a much-beloved old dog. Words cannot express how much my husband, our dear old Gigi and I were comforted by Dr. Vosburg. A text later to check on us and then we received a handwritten note expressing her condolences. We can't thank her enough.

Dr. April is genuinely compassionate, highly professional and extremely personable. She created space for a lovely send off during our last moments with our sweet Kaya. With this loss and sadness, our family was comforted knowing she left this world with meaning , love and dignity, I would even describe it as a beautiful ending. Dr. April set the tone for this experience and I am forever grateful for her presence.

Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald is an angel on Earth. The time came to put down our 13 year old family dog. I wanted this to be done in the familiar comfort of our home. Dr Delia came to our house shortly after I reached out. She was kind and compassionate and made Mia’s transition calm, pain free and peaceful. She is an amazing human and is excellent at what she does. I am so grateful. Thank you so much Dr Delia.

Dr. Allison was an angel sent from our many prayers ✝️. From the moment she walked in the door, I felt a calmness come over me and I knew my 18 year old kitty, Tucker, would peacefully transition. Dr, Allison wanted to get to know a bit about Tucker and our 17 years with him before she even began with the process. She then thoroughly explained each step to prepare us. As I held Tucker in my arms wrapped in his favorite blanket, Dr. Allison expressed so much compassion as she completed each step administering medication. Afterwards she allowed us all the time we needed to say goodbye to our boy. Then she actually offered to let me carry him to her and place him in her care for his last car ride. He loved car rides. A few days later, we received a personal sympathy card from Dr. Allison which greatly touched our hearts. SHE WAS A GODSEND!!!!

This is a review that no pet owner wants to write. If you are reading this, it's obvious that, like me, you cherished the time you've had with your pet child, and the moment has come to give them the most comfortable and dignified passage possible. I was faced with this moment a few weeks ago and did not want to take my son Ziggy back to the vet to transition in a hospital filled with dogs barking and in a strange room. He spent his entire life with me and his brothers in our home. 16 years of comfort and love in the only place he knew. It was important that our last moments together be in our space. It was by chance that I found Dr. Frucht when the service I had been referred to could not come until the next day. Booking the appointment was easy. She arrived on time with her assistant and could not have been more compassionate and understanding. She explained everything, was gentle, and professional. She made a very difficult moment as easy as possible. There was no rush, no hurry, just compassion and understanding. Ziggy passed in my arms as I had promised. I asked if I could carry him outside to their car, and she obliged. I can't recommend her enough. It was worth every penny, and I am so glad that I found her. This moment is difficult enough. Placing your trust in Dr. Frucht will allow you to concentrate on being present for the transition of your loved one. She comes with my highest recommendation and, above all, my appreciation.
