Verified Veterinarian
One reason I became a veterinarian was to serve the bond between people and their pets. Saying goodbye to a longtime friend is one of the most difficult passages we face. Being able to say goodbye peacefully at home, in a familiar environment, can eliminate some of the stresses of the process for both people and pets.

One of the most heartbreaking experiences is losing a beloved furry friend. I recently had to face the loss of my 19 year old cat, Pickle. The option to have him pass in the comfort his own home in the presence of his family who loved him so was such a precious gift to all of us. Dr. Dan Taylor was instrumental in helping us through the process and giving Pickle the gentle, peaceful passing he so deserved. Dr. Taylor’s compassion, kindness, patience, and knowledge made the moment bearable for us. After I made the initial appointment on-line, Dr. Taylor immediately reached out to me to offer support and to answer any questions I might have. Shortly afterwards we talked by phone and he remained available to me as I needed throughout the next few days, offering support and guidance. He even rescheduled so that my daughter could be present as well. His presence comforted and seemed to reassure my precious cat. I am so grateful for Dr. Taylor’s gentle assistance during one of the most heartbreaking experiences of my life. I will be forever thankful for him and will contact him again if faced with this situation again. Thank you Dr. Taylor from the bottom of our hearts.
Dr. Taylor explained everything so we knew what to expect, gave us the time we needed, and made the passing of our pet peaceful and at home. He is compassionate and caring.
I think I just did this. But I couldn't get out of this site when I finished. If my review didn't go through, let me know and I will do it again.
Dr. Dan was absolutely fantastic. Kind, compassionate, reassuring and gentle in his approach. He helped turn a potentially horrible experience to a quite manageable one.
Doctor Taylor was incredible during a really difficult time. He took time to explain the process, listened to our stories about our cat, empathized, and made sure we were all comfortable. He gave us a gift that was priceless- and that was peace.
Dr. Taylor was considerate, kind, and understanding. He explained the procedure well and performed it smoothly. He spent time with us. Dr. Taylor was the perfect person for this procedure.
