Dr Whala has helped us through the passing of two of our dogs with a kind, compassionate, caring understanding of what we as pet owners are going through. When Dr Whala came out recently to help with what we thought was a final goodbye to our girl Bindi she let us know that Bindi had a tumor but with some medicine she recommended we were able to be with Bindi an additional 2 months. Dr Whala has a true understanding of what we as dog owners feel about our furry friends, she knows they are our family and we love them with all our hearts. There is never any rush when Karen visits your home for the final goodbye, the last moments of our babies is so difficult and Karen understands the pain we are going through. There isn't anyone I could ever recommend that would be better to help with the final goodbye for your beloved pets.

I can't say enough fabulous things about Dr. Jessica Pruitt! It was a hard decision (as it always will be) when its time for our "buddies" to have to leave us:( but Dr. Jessica is so gentle and kind. She explains everything, is very patient and my Molly just warmed right up to her which made things even easier. I can't express the gratitude to Dr. Jessica enough as she made this as peaceful as can be for all of us:) Thank you Dr. Jessica!

Dr. Lisa made herself available for a last-minute urgent call for us and she couldn’t have been more lovely and caring. This is obviously a challenging and sad time for anyone in the position to call. She treated it with reverence and kindness. Feel lucky to have had her.

Dr. Michelli was so compassionate during this very difficult time. She made this experience so special and explained everything in detail. She gave us time to grieve with our boy and I’m so grateful that she was the one to take my baby over the rainbow bridge.

Dr. Lisa Littlejohn is truly an angel, sent to us at exactly the right time. The time drew near quicker than we anticipated and she made us a priority. Dr. Lisa arrived at our home which allowed Juno to spend his last moments in his favorite place, surrounded by love and comfort. We can’t begin to express our gratitude for her kindness and compassion during the most difficult day of our lives. Her gentle presence, calm demeanor and professional sensitivity made the unbearable transition peaceful. Dr. Lisa handled Juno, myself and my husband with great dignity and respect. Knowing Juno passes so serenely brought us a profound measure of comfort. Dr. Lisa went the extra mile starting with the call for help to departing our home, handling every aspect of the process with heartfelt empathy. We would encourage anyone to seek out Dr. Lisa Littlejohn, as there is no one more qualified, to guide you through this difficult journey.
