What pet parents are saying

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.

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.

As difficult as the situation was Dr Cory made the last moments of my beautiful baby boy, peaceful, and comforting. The last memory I have is him sleeping peacefully, surrounded by a beautiful bed of flowers.

We recently had to make the incredibly difficult decision to say goodbye to our beloved boxer, Rocco. After a lifetime of love, loyalty, and joy it was important to us that his final moments be peaceful and in the comfort of his own home. We were fortunate to have found Dr. Cory, who came to our home and helped guide us through this emotional process with the utmost compassion and professionalism. From the moment she arrived, Dr. Cory was gentle, kind, and incredibly respectful not only to us, but most importantly, to Rocco. She took the time to explain each step of the process, allowing us to move at our own pace and ask questions as needed. Her calm and compassionate demeanor helped bring a sense of peace to an otherwise heartbreaking moment. What stood out the most was the care she showed for Rocco. She ensured he was comfortable, pain-free, and relaxed, treating him with the dignity and tenderness he deserved. Her presence helped us feel less alone in our grief and more at peace with our decision. We are so grateful for Dr. Cory and the service she provided. While nothing can take away the sadness of losing our sweet Rocco, having him at home, surrounded by love, with someone so compassionate guiding us, made all the difference. Thank you, Dr. Cory for helping us give Rocco the goodbye he deserved.

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.
