Testimonials for Lap of Love Veterinarians

Dr. Stacii made a heartbreaking time so much easier by her gentle and compassionate nature. Our Wylie dog was only 6 years old and it was so hard to let him go. Thank you Dr Stacii and Lap of Love for helping us get through this difficult time and being so gentle with Wylie.

Dr. Ken made the worst day of my daughter's life bearable. Her dachshund Lucy was 15.5 years old and her health was failing. She had Lucy, and her littermate Itchy, since they were 1.5 years old. Dr. Ken was very gentle and compassionate as he helped Lucy go peacefully in my daughters arms with Itchy giving her kisses. It broke our hearts and Dr Ken cried along with us. Lap of Love was so wonderful from the initial call to the return of ashes and loving letters. We needed help asap and they came to the house the same day we called. They hand delivered the ashes in a beautiful wood box with her name on it. I highly recommend them. I hope Dr Ken can help Itchy when he needs it some day in the distant future.

Dr. Sarah Ryan, thank you for helping us get through our painful situation. We really appreciate the dignity you gave our Cocoa in his final moments. It made us feel better that he was able to pass in comfort in his own home, and we will never forget your kind demeanor during this difficult time for us.

From the moment I called Lap of Love, I felt like I was speaking with family. Every person I interacted with was reverent, caring, and genuinely compassionate; as if they held as much love for my sweet kitty as I did. I felt seen, heard, held, and understood. I was given the space to grieve the loss I knew was coming, and that alone was a gift. When Dr. Laurie arrived, her kindness was gentle and felt deeply. She carried a calm, comforting presence that made it clear she understood the weight of the moment. I truly felt she was grieving alongside us. She held space for my daughter and me to spend as much time as we needed with our cat. We were able to love him, hold him, cry for him, and simply be ourselves in those very soul-filled final moments. There was no rush, no pressure, only compassion and presence. We were able to relax, breathe, and trust that his spirit would be set free gently. Even after his passing, the care continued. The person who delivered his remains back home was so kind and sweet, treating the moment with the same reverence and respect we had felt throughout the entire process. And when Dr. Laurie’s sympathy card arrived, it was so thoughtful, heartfelt, and beautifully written, reminding us yet again that we were not alone in our grief. I cannot say enough good things about this organization and the extraordinary people who work there. Thank you, all of you, for supporting us through one of the most difficult transitions of our lives.
