Dr. Laura Allison, with CodaPet, assisted our family recently with the passing of our dear Daisy. She gave our family and Daisy the upmost care. She gave us as much time as we needed for each step and she was very communicative about each step that she was going to do and as she was doing each step. She treated our baby like her own and we appreciate everything that she did for our Daisy and our family. Daisy was 14 and had the best life with us. We will miss her dearly.
5.0Jan 13 2025 by Lauren Parker In posting a review, I wanted to tell my story of never having a dog and the pain of letting her go and how the Lord chose Dr. Lara to mercifully end her life for me. But all I could come up with, were my words.
But then He spoke to me! And it was a message I hear always when I'm searching. He who has Christ, has no fear.
In a sermon, He sent a message from Luke 12:22-34 The end of anxiety.
Dr. Lara was a gift that day because of her Faith. She had no fear that day!
My only hope is, that in some small way I was able to thank her graciously enough!
To Maggie Mae, my beautiful Boo boo, Rest in Peace 🙏 I love you. 🐕
5.0Dec 04 2024 by Joe Pierce Our family was heartbroken when our beloved English bulldog, Cowboy, received the diagnosis of canine lymphoma. Dr. Lara Allison was there for him and for us during and after the many weeks of chemotherapy. She saw Cowboy when he was in remission, and she checked on him often by phone. When the cancer eventually came back, Dr. Lara worked with us to provide the best palliative care for Cowboy. It gave us great comfort to see that he was comfortable and happy in those last few weeks. When we knew the time was near, Dr. Lara offered to come to our home, where Cowboy was most comfortable, to help him on his final journey to the rainbow bridge.
We highly recommend Dr. Lara Allison for pet parents seeking compassionate in-home care.
5.0Aug 15 2024 by Mike and Amy Dr Allison was so friendly, sweet, and professional. Her consideration of our emotions, made a hard decision much easier to handle. My dog immediately took to her.
I thank her for the memorable experience.
Dr. Lara Allison is truly an angel on earth when it comes to the difficult task of putting down your pet. When our beloved cat had gotten too ill to live comfortably, we decided to put him to sleep. She came to our home, embraced and supported us in our sadness, and painlessly administered the medication to end his suffering.
I can't give enough praise for her and what she does . Home euthanasia is absolutely the way to go about this tough situation and she's the best.
I recently had to make the heartbreaking decision to help my beloved, 17-year-old kitty, Alice, go over the Rainbow Bridge. I am so grateful that my vet recommended in-home pet euthanasia and Dr. Lara Allison of CODApet.
Dr. Lara was so wonderful through the entire process. She was so compassionate, kind, and empathetic, gently guiding me through the process and giving me all the time I needed during each step. She was so thoughtful, wanting to hear all about Alice’s life. She even sent a hand-written card and a sweet memento of Alice that I will treasure.
I am so grateful that Alice’s final journey did not involve another scary trip in a carrier and a car. She was in her happy and safe place at home, and she passed gently and peacefully in my arms.
If you are ever faced with this heartbreaking decision, I would highly recommend in-home pet euthanasia, and I would absolutely recommend Dr. Lara Allison. I cannot possibly say enough good things about Dr. Lara and her compassionate and loving care. I am forever grateful to her. If I ever have to make this choice again, I definitely will be contacting CODApet and Dr. Lara. Thank you, Dr. Lara!

Dr. Allison was the kind and calm voice we needed as our hearts broke while saying goodbye to our dearest Kasey. We will forever be grateful.
5.0Apr 11 2025 by Pura C. My husband and I cannot thank Dr Allison enough for the comfort, care and compassion that she brought to our home that day. The service she provides allowed my sweet cat, Opie, to cross the rainbow bridge in my arms in the bedroom where he had slept for most of his life. Dr Allison explained thoroughly each step of the procedure as well as Opie’s response so well that I actually felt comfortable participating in his transition. Opie never seemed to be stressed or uncomfortable. He seemed to be at peace, as was I. I recommend highly Dr Lara Allison for end of life/transition care.
5.0Jan 19 2026 by Paula G. I used Coda pet because I was looking for an in home pet euthanasia. It is grievous decision and so, to have Coda pet, but especially Dr Lara Allison, make the process easy and with such care was a huge relief. I live in an area that can be hard to find someone to service, especially last minute. I feel extremely fortunate that who was available was Dr Lara Allison. She came into our home with calming, caring energy that made you feel immediately at ease and with a professional. End of life can be so emotionally taxing and I am so grateful people like Dr Lara Allison are dedicated to ease that transition. She had excellent communication skills and was so personable and present with my very loved cat.
5.0Mar 07 2025 by Leticia Ward Dr Lara helped make our in-home pet euthanasia as good as could be expected. It’s such a hard decision but my sweet boy got to roll in the grass one more time. I knew it was the right thing for him. And then he went to sleep in our backyard in my lap, one of his happy places.
5.0Sep 09 2024 by Wendy Crisp Helms Dr. Allison was fantastic. She really helped my wife and I during a difficult time with our dog, Rosie. We could really tell she cared about what she was doing.
5.0Mar 17 2026 by Mathew L. When my beloved dog was diagnosed with a terminal illness, I was devastated and unsure of how to handle her final moments. When the time arrived, Dr. Lara Allison came to my home and provided the most compassionate and professional care I could have hoped for. Her calm demeanor and gentle approach immediately put both my dog and me at ease during such a difficult time. Dr. Allison's expertise was evident as she handled everything with the utmost care, allowing my dog to pass peacefully in the comfort of her own home. The love and compassion she showed were truly remarkable, and I will forever be grateful for her support during one of the hardest days of my life. Dr. Allison’s new mobile home euthanasia practice is a testament to her dedication to providing compassionate end-of-life care for animals. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of such care. Thank you, Dr. Allison, for your incredible kindness and professionalism.
5.0Aug 15 2024 by Stirling Harper, MD Dr. Lara Allison was wonderful! She was so kind, explained the process, asked about Loki and our journey together and befriended him upon arrival. I chose in-home euthanasia because I did not want my pet to be scared or stressed in his final moments and I did not want to be rushed. I highly recommend Dr. Allison and this service💕
5.0Jan 08 2025 by Erin Sirona Very kind and calm. Putting Bear down was an awful decision I did not want to make and wasn’t expecting so soon. I also appreciate she hand delivered his ashes back to us.
5.0Nov 14 2024 by Stephanie C. Our family was faced with the dilemma of a 15.5 year lab that was having extreme difficulty with daily life. Her biggest fear in life was a trip to the vet. Seeking alternatives, we searched for in home euthanasia options. We selected Dr Lara Allison from all her great reviews. She lived up to her reputation. When she arrived, she not only cared for the family, but was very intent on making our pet at ease. She is a very caring person. Saying goodbye to a loving pet is one of the most difficult things people face, and while it isn't easy, Dr Allison showed she cared. Thank you for being a special person.
5.0Dec 23 2024 by patrick hill Dr. Lara was so nice and caring during such a hard time. She was a loving presence and helped our Lucy move to heaven peacefully. Thank you

Thanks
5.0Dec 31 2024 by Patrick H. Dr. Lara was with Chewbacca and me on the worst day of our lives. She treated Chewbacca with such love, dignity, and compassion. I cannot say enough great things about her. None of this is easy and will never be. Having Dr. Lara there with her care and love ensured Chewbacca had the kindest and most loving departure.
Thank you so much Dr. Lara, for everything.
5.0Nov 09 2025 by Elizabeth G. Dr. Lara is an amazing Vet. She is very kind, patient and thoughtful. She was very helpful with our LBD Ashley who was our beloved Boykin for almost 14 years, Thank you for all the help.

5.0Apr 08 2025 by Allen H. Dr. Allison helped our family to care for Zoie for hopefully a while longer and keep her pain controlled. Dr. Allison is calm, has great touch with animals and is very knowledgeable.
From making the appoinment to meeting with her second time, she was always responding, kept in touch and followed through with all we had discussed. Thank you!
5.0Jan 08 2025 by Kiki Etling Dr. Allison is an extremely kind and caring veterinarian. When it was time to help our sweet Lupé cross the Rainbow Bridge, she not only helped us with knowing it was the right decision but also helped us navigate the difficult emotions. She explained everything thoroughly and thoughtfully answered our questions. Dr. Allison approached the situation with the utmost professionalism and grace, patiently giving us time to say farewell to our dear furry friend. From handling the logistics to treating Lupé as if she were her own, we can’t thank her enough!
5.0Aug 22 2024 by Michelle Lee As a first time dog owner, when we unfortunately got to the point where end of life was a reality for Arnold (our 13 year old Olde English Bulldog), the thought of when, where and how to experience that situation was super overwhelming. Thankfully we had Dr. Allison to shepherd us through that process to allow us to make the right decision at the right time, while experiencing those last final moments and memories in the comfort of our home (vs. in a waiting room where our dog also became anxious and nervous). Her genuine care and thoughtfulness of not only our dog, but with us made a dreaded situation as manageable and convenient as possible for us. We can't imagine anyone being a more perfect fit for professionally and gracefully handling such an emotional situation.
5.0Aug 15 2024 by Austin Elliot Dr. Lara Allison was so kind, comforting and professional. She made a terrible event a very beautiful moment for our family. Her experience and knowledge helped us to feel calm and have final moments with our Lucy.
5.0Dec 02 2024 by Mandy Collins Leonard Dr. Allison made the best out of a terrible moment in our lives. I will never forget how kind and gentle and thoughtful she was. I am so appreciative of all she did for us and our girl. I cant imagine enduring this in an impersonal vet office rather than the comfort and familiarity of home. Thank you for reigniting my faith in humanity! You are doing God’s work!
5.0Mar 26 2026 by Katie K. Dr. Lara was amazing. Saying goodbye to our sweet dog could have been traumatic and terrible, especially with two sensitive teenagers. Instead it was a loving and tender and even beautiful experience. All four of us were able to hold him and let him know how much we love him. Dr Lara thought of every detail to help us say a peaceful and loving goodbye. We are beyond grateful to her for her empathy and kindness.
5.0Oct 23 2025 by Laura C. Though we may not have control of when we say goodbye to our animals, we sometimes have the choice as to where and with whom we will face this impossibly hard decision.
I grew up with dogs my whole life, welcoming many into my family and was fortunate enough to also be there at the end of their time on Earth.
The bond I had with Bruce (the first dog that was really just mine, after college) was and remains one of the most important, special connections I will ever have the pleasure of experiencing. A trusted friend, life coach, and confidant, Lara extended her in-home euthanasia services to me when Bruce could no longer enjoy his life. It was emotional and scary as I wondered if I was doing the right thing. She comforted me and stood by me, supporting my decision. She carefully explained the process- what would happen before, during, and after - leaving out anything too overwhelming or unnecessary for me to know. She performed the service in my home and handled Bruce’s cremation for me as well. Bruce passed away peacefully in the comfort of his favorite chair.
Admittedly, this testimonial is difficult to write as it conjures a painful memory, but I often reflect on how much more discomfort I would have experienced having to take him to a sterile, foreign environment in order to say goodbye to my best friend. Lara was calm, collected, kind, and invaluable in making the entire situation much more palatable for me, and for Bruce. His and my comfort were of utmost importance. It is impossible to imagine having to go through that event in any other way.
My new dog has taught me how to love again, and with that, we've created a special, different kind of bond - one that I never thought I could have after losing Bruce. He’s stable, but suffering from cardiomyopathy and has limited time left earthside. I know one day, maybe sooner than I would like, I will have to make another hard choice. I rest easy and find peace knowing that when it is his time to transition into another realm, Lara will be there, in the comfort of our home, Gus on his favorite chair, getting the best pets and receiving all the love he deserves. I cannot recommend Lara enough - her heart is SO big - the service she provides is complicated, necessary, and special. In my opinion, she is the perfect person for this difficult job.
5.0Aug 15 2024 by Becca Barnet Dr. Allison helped my family through this very difficult time. I was very unsure about an at home euthanasia experience with four children, but she treated us all with such care and compassion that I do feel she helped make this experience the best it could be. I couldn’t imagine any one else helping a beloved pet cross the rainbow bridge as well as she did. I know Scout left us feeling loved and comfortable.
5.0Oct 26 2025 by Kerri H. On March 15th I had to say goodbye to my Manz after 15.5 years of love and being by my side. Dr Lara came highly recommended and I understand why. Her professionalism, kindness, compassion and empathy shown through in a difficult time. Everyone at Coda Pet was amazing. My Mokie is home now, thank you Dr Laura
5.0Mar 26 2025 by Raven Lee Dr. Lara really is special, she was completely equipped and ready. Buddy was my longest companion and my first to have passed from old age, I was a mess. Dr. Lara made the whole process clear, she walked me through each step, and made the whole process very special.
I recently had to make the heartbreaking decision to help my beloved, 17-year-old kitty, Alice, go over the Rainbow Bridge. I am so grateful that my vet (Air Harbor) recommended in-home pet euthanasia and Dr. Lara Allison of CODApet.
Dr. Lara was so wonderful through the entire process. She was so compassionate, kind, and empathetic, gently guiding me through the process and giving me all the time I needed during each step. She was so thoughtful, wanting to hear all about Alice’s life. She even sent a hand-written card and a sweet memento of Alice that I will treasure.
I am so grateful that Alice’s final journey did not involve another scary trip in a carrier and a car. She was in her happy and safe place at home, and she passed gently and peacefully in my arms.
If you are ever faced with this heartbreaking decision, I would highly recommend in-home pet euthanasia, and I would absolutely recommend Dr. Lara Allison. I cannot possibly say enough good things about Dr. Lara and her compassionate and loving care. I am forever grateful to her. If I ever have to make this choice again, I definitely will be contacting CODApet and Dr. Lara. Thank you, Dr. Lara!

5.0Apr 07 2025 by Jennifer E. Our experience with Dr. Allison was truly wonderful. She was so kind and compassionate and gave our sweet cat a dignified, peaceful passing. She was relaxing in her favorite spot on our back porch; this was so nice compared to the thought of transporting her to a vet office in pain and anxious being in the car. I truly cannot recommend Dr. Allison highly enough. This is a phenomenal service that she offers. The work she does is truly remarkable.
5.0Oct 21 2025 by Mallory A. Dr. Lara is filled with compassion, love and professionalism in all aspects of being an awesome vet with your fur baby. She is an excellent communicator with any questions you may have, and willing to go the extra mile if needed. I feel so blessed in finding her.
5.0Mar 06 2026 by DeeDee M. Dr. Allison is absolutely amazing...I would never call another Vet. to take care of us...She took care of my sweet Annabelle and my husband and I like we were member of her family.
5.0Aug 15 2025 by Cheryl W. When Bootsie was unable to control her bladder, at age 14, we knew it was time. Having had my first lab euthanized at the vets office many years before , I knew that wasn’t what I wanted for my Bootsie. We reached out to Dr Lara and she was able to come to our house. There was something very calming and very natural about the whole experience. Dr Lara explained everything to me in detail. Bootsie was able to lie on her bed in her favorite spot and very peacefully go to sleep.
It was only a few short months later that her littermate, Beauregard was ready to leave us. Dr Lara was there for us again.
It’s so hard to lose your fur babies. Im so grateful that there is a service that can treat you and your fur baby with so much kindness and so much compassion.
Thank you Dr. Lara.
5.0Aug 15 2024 by Terrie Howlett Dr. Lara Allison was nothing short of amazing. What a bright light in such a dark period for pet owners! She was prompt and responsive and went out of her way to make both owner and pet comfortable. She brought treats for my dog and patiently stayed with me while I made paw prints and said goodbye. She handled transport of him for cremation. She was gentle and respectful . She genuinely cares. I highly recommend her if you find yourself in need of her services. I cannot say enough good things to express how pleased I was with her services. She really does go above and beyond.
5.0Jan 05 2026 by Elizabeth R. Dr. Lara Allison was a true blessing to us and to Lucy. She was understanding and knowledgeable. Thanks to her we will never have our pets, that are family, taken to a vet to be euthanized.
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Dr. Allison. We called her to our home to meet with our cat who has a terminal illness- to help guide us in next steps. We went over our cat’s current medical regimen, bloodwork numbers, etc. It’s important to us that our cat enjoys quality of life for as long as possible. Dr. Allison displayed not only her knowledge of veterinary medicine, she also showed us kindness, compassion and empathy. Our very shy cat was drawn to her immediately, and we were all able to take part in a spiritual healing. Although we know our cat’s prognosis is bleak, Dr. Allison offered a new perspective for all of us, and we are beyond grateful. When the time comes to make a hard decision, we know who we will call, but Dr. A offers so much more to our family. She’s been a blessing.
5.0Jan 10 2025 by Rebecca Wollenberg Dr. Lara was very kind and calm. Putting Bear down was an awful decision I did not want to make and wasn’t expecting so soon. I also appreciate she hand delivered his ashes back to us. I miss him terribly but know his final moments were very peaceful.
5.0Nov 20 2024 by Stephanie Cheng The time had come for our 14-year-old Golden Retriever, Katie, to be put to sleep. We wanted Katie’s last moments to be at home in familiar surroundings with her family. Dr. Allison, explained the procedures and told us exactly what to expect. After giving Katie the mild sedative, Dr. Allison gently wrapped Katie into a fluffy cozy blanket and placed a blanket/pillow under her head for support. When everything was in place, Dr. Allison administered the final medication, and Katie passed peacefully into her heavenly sleep.
We can not say enough about how pleased we were with Dr. Allison and how she helped us through this difficult time. She was very kind and compassionate, she did not rush anything and was very sensitive to our needs. We wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lara Allison in helping us to help our precious baby girl go over the Rainbow Bridge.
5.0Oct 27 2025 by Teresa S. Dr Allison was compassionate and so caring during the process of helping our sweet boy cross the rainbow bridge. We are so happy we choose her and the in home procedure.
5.0Mar 07 2026 by Ginny B. CodaPet's at-home pet euthanasia service is a highly recommended alternative to visiting a vet clinic. When faced with this difficult decision for your cherished pet, providing them the comfort of being in their own home can make all the difference. Dr. Lara Allison was exceptional—her empathy for our situation brought immense peace and comfort during this challenging time. The compassion and dedication she displays in her work truly supported us throughout the process. We cannot express enough gratitude for her kindness, caring, and professionalism.

I have known Dr. Allison for many years and the care and professionalism I have experienced with her has always been above and beyond. She was flexible, incredibly kind, and deeply comforting during a hard time. She explained everything gently, moved at our pace, and treated Patsy with dignity and compassion. Being able to do this at home was such a blessing for both me and my dog, and Dr. Allison made a difficult situation far less stressful. I am truly thankful for her empathy and professionalism during this difficult time.
5.0Jan 05 2026 by Dana W. Dr Lara was the most amazing beautiful person to help me with my transition with my best friend. Above and beyond. So much compassion and grace. I am so grateful and truly recommend her
5.0Jun 25 2025 by Jane M. I would like to highly recommend Dr. Lara Allison if you are considering home pet euthanasia. Lara is an extraordinary veterinarian with the added graces of empathy, kindness and caring that make her a perfect choice for the loving passing of a treasured pet. Lara helped me so much with the difficult decisions I had to make when faced with putting down my Irish Setter. She helped me create a beautiful, peaceful setting and during the entire process, which was so professionally done, added words of sympathy , encouragement and support! Lara made a difficult time so much more acceptable, a time I now look back with a peaceful remembrance.
5.0Sep 06 2024 by Rindy Jerue When we faced one of the most heartbreaking moments, having to say goodbye to our sweet Annie, we were incredibly grateful to have Dr. Lara by our side. From the moment she arrived at our home, she brought a sense of peace, compassion, and comfort that helped ease the weight of such a difficult decision. She treated Annie with the utmost gentleness and respect. She took the time to explain everything with patience and care, allowing us the space we needed to say our goodbyes without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Her presence turned what could have been a cold and clinical experience into something tender, humane, and full of love.
We will forever be thankful for the way Dr. Lara helped Annie pass peacefully, in the comfort of her home, surrounded by those who loved her most. It takes a truly special person to do what she does, and we feel so fortunate that it was her who guided us through this painful moment, she’s truly an angel on earth!
If you ever find yourself in the heartbreaking position of needing this service, know that Dr. Lara Allison will not only provide the highest level of professionalism, but will also bring genuine compassion and grace when you need it most.
5.0Jul 06 2025 by Viviana S. We had Lucy, a rescue that we adopted when she was 10 months old. She was a great family pet. She found her forever home. Our two young children grew up with her. And still talk about her today.
After 13 years as a family member, because of medical reasons, we knew that it was time to let Lucy go. We decided that it would be better for Lucy to be in our own home as opposed to a cold clinic. Dr Allison came over to our house to perform the procedure. It was the best situation it could have been. Because Lucy was in her own surroundings, she was relaxed and not stressed. Dr Allison not only took care of Lucy, she had compassion with the humans as well. The time she took with us was priceless. She explained what was happening and did not rush our grieving.
We have all heard that hindsight is 20/20. And clearly this was the best way to handle an emotional situation.
5.0Aug 15 2024 by Evy Silcox Dr. Lara Allison is an extraordinary veterinarian, especially in the most challenging moments. When our beloved dog, Daisy, was ready to cross the rainbow bridge, Dr. Allison came to our home, and her presence was a true gift. She was kind, compassionate, and patient—exactly the person we needed during such a heartbreaking time. Dr. Allison took the time to ensure that Daisy was comfortable and at peace, and she supported us with genuine empathy and care. Her gentle approach and deep understanding made an incredibly difficult experience more bearable. We are forever grateful to Dr. Allison for being there for Daisy and for us, with the perfect balance of professionalism and heartfelt compassion.
5.0Aug 22 2024 by Martha Bird Yesterday on 9/11/24 I thought I was going to have to say "goodbye" to my beloved 9 year old Shih Ztu Tucker after he had a severe reaction to a medication and he spent two days in the hospital and his liver enzymes were extremely high. I wrestled with this decision for days but I wanted him to pass peacefully in the comfort of his home and in my arms not some cold steel table among strangers.
Dr. Lara was so kind, compassionate and had such a calming demeanor and I had already paid for all the arrangements prior to her arrival.
She did a complete assessment of Tucker and told me he still had the will to live, his eyes looked good, his teeth and he was still showing signs of life and she felt with time the liver enzymes and damage could regenerate itself and went into great detail. Dr. Lara even called him in a prescription that she could legally do and recommended some "brick & mortar" vet facilities she highly recommended to take my beloved dog to for a second opinion and didn't charge me for anything but a consultation charge! I will forever be grateful because she also offered me hope.
I can't emphasize enough just how much this meant to my husband and I and we will forever be grateful.
Dr. Lara truly has a calling and a zen like aura about her. I told her to take this as a compliment she ranks right up there with Dr. Pol! When it truly is time for my boy she will be who I call. I'd give her 10 stars ⭐️ if I could.
5.0Sep 11 2024 by Shelly Huckabee Our family has been with Pet Vet for many years and has numerous pets. As pet owners know, the most difficult decision we make for our pets is knowing when to keep fighting for them or if we should allow them to be free of their pain. Our beloved GSD, Bauer, was one in a million. We brought him home shortly before our first child joined us. 12 years later, and a couple more kids, Bauer was our constant loving, best friend.
We started seeing Dr. Allison regularly to help with Bauer’s joints and other ailments. We promised Bauer that we would help him in any way we could, and Dr. Allison promised our
family she would let us know when it was time. We were in it together, as a team. He had such a wonderful last six months, and Dr. Allison helped him and our family along the way. We had many difficult conversations, but they were always made easier because of her ability to have an open discussion.
Once Bauer’s health started to rapidly decline our family made the difficult decision, along with Dr. Allison, to help relieve his pain. When planning our final appointment, she so graciously offered to come to our home the next night after work, which just happened to be a Friday evening.
We were able to take Bauer to the beach that Friday morning as a family. We had a lovely afternoon at home, while Bauer ate all of his favorite treats. As evening rolled around, we started a nice fire in our living room and made a pallet out of blankets for Bauer. Dr. Allison arrived at our home after working at the clinic all day. We were able to chat with her and hang out with Bauer. She explained the procedure and made sure we understood fully what steps she would be taking. The process was quick, and our sweet boy was no longer in pain. Dr. Allison had even called the crematorium and they were waiting outside our
home for whenever we were ready.
While losing a pet is never easy, being able to have the procedure done in our home with a veterinarian that loved him like their own, made it much more bearable. We will forever be thankful for Dr. Allison and her kind heart. We know it hurt her almost as much as we were hurting, but we were there together for our sweet Bauer. And he knew it too.
Thank you Dr. Allison for your compassion and sincerity. We will forever be grateful that you helped us ensure Bauer had a wonderful life and a gracious passing.
5.0Aug 15 2024 by Cassidy and Phillip Bozzelli We recently had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to our beloved dog, Fritz. Dr. Allison treated us and our pet with the utmost compassion, respect, and kindness. She gave us time, comfort, and space to say goodbye, and explained everything gently so we knew what to expect. It was one of the hardest moments of our lives, but we are forever grateful for the care and dignity she provided. I would highly recommend Dr. Allison to anyone needing support during such a difficult time.
5.0Aug 15 2025 by Rachael T. Dr. Lara was the most compassionate, kind and loving person I could have ever had come to my home to help my fur baby, Maddi Sofia, cross the Rainbow Bridge. She was helpful from the very beginning throughout the entire process and even weeks later. It was such a hard decision to make but she helped to comfort us to know we were doing the right thing at the right time. She treated Maddi with so much love and was even wonderful with my other dog. She went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and could have some food experiences that dogs can't have for their entire lives because they can become ill. She explained the entire process and what was going to happen and the steps that would be taken to ensure Maddi was brought back to us in the most humane way possible. I highly recommend Dr Lara to anyone who is in need of this kind of service. While it was very sad, it was also beautiful at the same time to know our Baby Girl could pass at home in our arms with love instead of having to be in a clinical setting surrounded by people she didn't know. Thank you Dr. Lara. You are an amazing human being and I thank you for being there for our family. ❤️
5.0Feb 06 2025 by Jennifer Sapienza Our dog unfortunately had to be put to rest Nov 14, 2024. It has taken me this long to be able to write this, due to my emotions. I wanted to thank Laura for being so compassionate during probably the toughest time in my life and guide me through. Laure was very willing to let you vacillate back and forth on decisions as most of us do in a situation like this she was willing to listen to us and our beloved family member and help us make informed thought out decisions. Our loved one got very sick in the night and Laura was here first thing to help with this situation we hoped would never come. If it had not been for Laura, I am not sure I would have any mind left. Laura helped us work through the entire process and you could tell could feel what we felt. Thank you for being there for us in our time of need. You are a true friend and am so glad you entered our life’s to help make this unbearable situation more manageable. Laura gave us a hair clipping from our loved one and he still goes with us to all of his favorite places. It helps us remember he is still with us.
5.0Jan 08 2026 by David G. Having Dr.Lara by my side as my family and I said goodbye to our much loved Daisy was invaluable. Being able to do this at home where Daisy was most comfortable gave us an opportunity to say goodbye in our time on our own terms. Dr.Lara talked us through every step with compassion and love. She took care of everything from beginning to end and made this process much easier. She is not only a wonderful vet but a wonderful person and we were so thankful to have her there.
