Welcome to fall! We just wanted to check in with everyone and, as always, post a couple of our thank you notes from our customers. Please, if you have any questions or are unfamiliar with our service, don't hesitate to call us. Also, we came across this story yesterday and thought we should share it. Surprisingly, accidents like the story below happen all too often. Remember to always and first read ANY paperwork you sign at the vet's office no matter how simple the procedure!

Customer Thanks and Testimonials:
Via e-mail:
"...thank you for taking such kind and gentle care of Beauty on August 20th. Every step of the process was handled by both of you with such dignity and such respect. I will never forget it. And thank you again for letting me wait there until I could bring beauty back home with me.
It is still so hard to talk or write or even think about it without tears starting. But you both were there when it was the most difficult, almost impossible duty to perform-letting go of Beauty- and you guided me through it with such kindness.
...I have been through this process many times- but never was it handled more meaningfully and more kindly than by both of you.
My most vivid memory of that day is how beautiful and peaceful Beauty looked and how gently you cared for her. And it is so reassuring to know that you both will be there when I have to bring my last little loved one to you. " -- name was requested to be withheld from post

I took [Shadow] to [the veterinarian] on Monday Morning and Shadow passed at 8:43 a.m. by euthanization. I still don't think there are enough bandages to to fix my broken heart. Tuesday morning, we got a call [from the veterinarian that] his ashes were ready for pick up. I can't even put to words the kind beautiful box you put him in. You went beyond my expectations. I just can't say thank you enough!!! I hope you are always there for animal lovers everywhere....Thank you, thank you, thank you. P.S. You are now a part of our family and always will be." -- C.J. and B
