Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice & In-Home Euthanasia

I was born and raised outside of Topeka, Kansas on a small hobby farm with a menagerie of animals. As a horse-crazy animal lover, veterinary medicine was an obvious choice for me. I went to Kansas State University to study biology and later earned my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Missouri. 

After graduation, my husband and I moved to the Pacific Northwest and lived outside of Seattle where I practiced small animal medicine. We moved to Michigan for my husband's schooling and despite the cold, fell in love with the state. We currently live in Ann Arbor with our two dogs, Julep (a scruffy Lab mix) and Konza (a pure cuddle monster), and Filson (part cat, part Golden Retriever). When not helping pets and their families, I am usually at the barn riding my handsome horse Mojo, hiking with my dogs, or traveling. 

My husband and I recently suffered the emotional loss of our beloved cat, Apollo. At the young age of 6, Apollo was diagnosed with cancer that quickly ravaged his little body despite aggressive chemotherapy. It was by far the hardest thing that either of us have ever had to go through. The light in the darkness was his incredible oncologist who helped us say goodbye to our little buddy. I will never forget the peace we felt in those final moments and how thankful we are that Apollo was granted that gift.  

Every pet deserves to be calm, comfortable and surrounded by their loving family in their final moments. I am honored to be able to provide families and their beloved pets with the gift of a peaceful passing
