What pet parents are saying
Deciding to put a pet down is one of the hardest decisions a pet owner can make. My friends suggested booking an appointment with Dr. Korsgen to do in home pet euthanasia. I cannot speak highly enough about the entire experience. Although my heart was shattering during it, Dr. Korsgen provided the most respectful and beautiful experience I could have asked for. I'm eternally grateful that I got to say goodbye to my best friend in the most loving, compassionate way possible.
Dr Cory Korsgen, introduced herself as Cory. She did not rush. She was thorough in evaluating that the euthanasia was timed right and that it was the best thing for our pet. She was accommodating to our needs and gave so much of herself in our time of grief. She treated the whole process with so much respect and care. Even the transport of our pet after he passed was done so with care, he was carried out in comfort and the back of the vehicle was specially prepared to receive him. She made herself available for last minute requests. I will always recommend this for those that want their beloved fur babies not to suffer. Cory is a caring and beautiful person and she gives a part of that beauty to a very sad event helping to make the loss a little less painful. I am Forever grateful for you Cory.
I highly recommend Dr. Korsgen for in-home euthanasia. She is gentle, compassionate, and a terrific vet! I have had my dogs put down at the animal hospital in the past, and seeing them so anxious in their last hour is heartbreaking. Every pet deserves to be in the safety of their own home, next to the people they love, and in the care of a phenomenal veterinarian. Dr. Korsgen, I sincerely hope I will not need you anytime soon, but when the time comes I will 100% be calling you again.
Dr. Cory was so genuinely compassionate at a time when our hearts were absolutely broken. We could not have imagined a more caring person coming into our home and helping us survive the trauma of sending our 16 and 14 year old pugs to the rainbow bridge together. She truly was the best Dr. we could have asked for to be with us during the saddest time of our lives.
I am so grateful for the in home euthanasia experience I had with Dr. Korsgen. Dr. Korsgen was sympathetic, knowledgeable and knew just what to say to make a really difficult time a little easier. I’m glad I didn’t have to put Marley through the stress of bringing her to the vet. I was so thankful that the last moments for Marley were spent in her home. I would recommend Dr. Korsgen. I am so thankful that in home euthanasia is now an option. Thank you.
Making this decision is one of the hardest decisions, for me, to make - but having the ability to have my Jasper pass at home, in my arms, while in no way easy, but so much more comforting for me and I believe Jasper - there was no stress of going to the vet, waiting in the waiting room, waiting for the doctor. Dr Cory was wonderful, listened to my concerns and extremely compassionate - thank you very much for being there for me and Jasper.
