From a personal perspective, this is one of the saddest reviews I’ve had to write. We had to put our lovable 11-year-old labrador to sleep after he lived with cancer for two years. My husband had just taken him into our regular vet for a check-up, and we had prepared ourselves for that day to be “the” day. We explained that he struggled to get up. His legs kept collapsing under him. Our vet said it still wasn’t time. We felt so guilty for looking at our pet and being so wrong. Well, that night, his legs collapsed again, and he could not get up. My husband had to hold him up to go to the bathroom. We thought that maybe he could sleep it off and feel better in the morning. He didn’t. It was a Sunday, and our vet was not open. Our kids were devastated, and so were we. We found this clinic online and called. They told us we could bring him in right away. My husband said that as painful as it was to put our dog to sleep, the vet and vet tech (who kissed our dog’s head as he was put to sleep) were very comforting and understanding. WE knew that our poor dog was dying, but our regular vet convinced us to buy another $200 in medicine for no good reason. We’re grateful that this place helped us and trusted us to know that WE, as his family, knew that he was suffering. I’m giving 5 stars because of their service and compassion even though it was one of the saddest days for our family.
