Testimonials for Lap of Love Veterinarians
“There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.”
Dr. JuneSaying goodbye to Artemis will always be one of the hardest days of my life. However, knowing she passed away peacefully at home brings me great comfort. Dr. June Wiley was so gentle and kind, and knew just what to say to assure me that I was making the right decision for my beloved dog. Using Lap of Love was worth every penny and I would recommend them to anyone.
Dr. KristenDuring the hardest times in our lives, Dr. Kristen walked into our home with love and kindness and allowed us and our beloved Shiva to have the most peaceful final moments we could imagine. Her soothing words and compassion helped us in so many ways. We will always miss our Shiva girl, but are so thankful for the love shown by Dr. Kristen during her final moments.
Dr. DaneWe had lost three pets in the last five years, all in fairly traumatic circumstances and none at home. Each loss left us and our other pets disoriented, confused, and without closure. Our lovely old man Tater Tot deteriorated quickly, and we were faced with an awful choice: subject him to stressful and painful treatment that in the best case scenario wouldn't give him much more time, without us by his side, or take him home to be with his family. We had never had the opportunity to give our pets a peaceful death, but we knew it was the right thing for him. I could not have imagined in a million years how compassionate, accommodating, and thoughtful the people at Lap of Love would be. The whole process is very obviously set up with love and lived experience informing every step. We were very concerned that we wouldn't be able to get someone to our home for several days because of an impending snowstorm, but they were able to schedule us for the following day. We were worried we wouldn't be able to get in touch with them quickly because we got home from the emergency vet at nearly midnight, but they have a 24/7 phone line. Every tiny step is so thoughtful and provides options to make the experience right for your family. Dr. Dane was incredibly kind to us, not only answering our questions thoroughly and treating our boy with great care but stepping outside twice so we could bring our dog in to say goodbye both before and after Tater Tot passed. I was deeply touched by the basket with comfy blankets that he had to carry Tater Tot outside in. Losing Tater Tot was awful, but having the opportunity to let him go so gently in the comfort of his own home is a gift that I will always be grateful for.
Dr. SusanOur experience with Lap of Love helped tremendously with such a heartbreaking time. The person who answered my call to make the appointment was compassionate, kind. and willing to answer any questions I had. There always has to be payment and paperwork, but Lap of Love provided what I needed to make this part go so smoothly well before Dr. Weis arrived. Dr. Weis was the perfect vet to be with us in this difficult decision. She explained what we wanted explained and was very patient. Her kindness and compassion was soothing. Her ability and competence reassured us that we were there for Zeke. The preparation resources were helpful, and the after care resources are comforting.
