What pet parents are saying

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.

Dr. Korsgen was the most empathetic and kind professional during the euthanasia of my canine friend. She even went the extra mile to rearrange her schedule to arrive at my home a few hours earlier than originally planned, because my dog's decline and suffering were escalating. I'm not a religious person, but Dr. Korsgen was an angelic presence. She was so sweet and gentle with my dog, and so very patient and understanding with me. I will always be thankful to Dr. Cory Korsgen for her special touch.

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.

Dr. Cory was very kind and helpful in answering and guiding us throughout this difficult time as our Yondu left us at such a young age. She was so supportive and gentle with him. I would definitely recommend her if you’re looking for in home euthanasia. Thank you Dr. 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.
