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.

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.

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. Bille was very compassionate about the situation and was able to communicate the process before and during the entire procedure. You could tell that she had a very good heart for my dog and cared about her profession.
