Kirsten was awesome! It was very easy to feel at ease with her being here, very compassionate, and took the passing at our pace and didn’t rush it. She explained everything in detail! You can tell she is very much connected with what she is doing with compassion. Kirsten was beyond amazing! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dr Gordon was wonderful. She explained the process to us and was so very compassionate and caring. She made a very difficult day a little easier for us. Having the procedure done at home was less stressful on our beloved Westie Lucy as well. Thank you

Dr. Laura was the best. She was so compassionate and explained the details and how my girl would go to sleep peacefully. There was no rushing to take her away from us until we all had a chance to say our goodbyes and we were ready. I thank God for people like Dr. Laura that understand Sophie wasn't just a dog that she was part of our family. Being with my girl while she went over the rainbow bridge was the least I could do after all the unconditional love she gave us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use her again.

Dr. Meghan was exceptional in every way--truly an angel during a heart breaking time. She was present, consoling, held my hand, loving to my baby, and was extremely reassuring. She sent me a condolence card with the sweetest message. I'm so grateful--thank you Dr. Meghan!

Our dog Lilly was 16 years old and showed every sign and diagnosis of an old dog. When I called Dr. Hart's office, her availability and sympathetic approach to our situation made our decision easier. When Dr. Hart arrived at our home, she greeted Lilly with love and tenderness, and towards us, too. For my husband and me, what was about to happen became very real, and she was sensitive to that as well. The process did not take long, as our Lilly, we now believe, was ready to go too. Throughout this process, Dr. Hart explained to us how she would do it, how Lilly would react, and what her final moments would be like. It was comforting to hear them in such a gentle way. When it was all done, she allowed us to say goodbye one last time and to place her into Dr. Hart’s car for a final send-off. We chose to have Lilly cremated and returned to us; that process, which was quoted to take two weeks, was done in less than one. I would highly recommend Dr. Hart to anyone who has to deal with this part of owning a pet. It’s difficult, it is emotional, it’s traumatic, but to have somebody sensitive and caring entering your home to do this, like Dr. Hart allows you to find comfort in the decision you made, and while difficult, it was the right decision.

Dr. Bagnoni was incredibly responsive and able to accommodate a same-day, in-home euthanasia for our 15-year-old dog, Zeus. She took the time to speak with us beforehand by phone, clearly explaining the process and what to expect. When she arrived, she performed a gentle initial exam, and together we recognized that it was truly Zeus’s time. She walked us through each step in person and thoughtfully answered our 5-year-old son’s questions in a way he could understand. Throughout the entire visit, she was calm, patient, and deeply respectful. Nothing felt rushed. The process was peaceful and free of stress for Zeus, which meant everything to us. We chose cremation, and the turnaround was quick. Dr. Bagnoni provided a beautiful urn, a clay paw print, fur clippings, and ink impressions of Zeus’s paw and nose; keepsakes we will treasure. Her professionalism, compassion, and gentle presence gave us comfort during one of the hardest moments our family has faced. We are grateful that Zeus’s final moments were handled with such dignity and care. I highly recommend Dr. Bagnoni. She is a truly compassionate professional.
