Dr. Ruthie

Dr. Ruthie was such a special dog angel. My family spoke very highly of her. This was a difficult time however a beautiful memory only because of Dr. Ruthie.

Dr. Kara

We were faced with an unexpected cancer diagnosis for our 8 year old golden retriever on a Saturday. Unfortunately, by Monday morning we had to make the tough decision to have him euthanized. He was declining so quickly I didn’t know if he’d make it more than a few hours. Lap of Love was able to be nimble to our needs and move up our appointment. The intake was done with such compassion and care by phone. Dr. Leavitt was also incredibly warm and caring. She helped our 80 pound guy up onto the couch to sit with my daughter and I. She explained everything to us, while balancing the need to make our dog comfortable quickly and also being thorough with us. We felt so cared for by perfect strangers, and that continued with post-appointment support. I am so grateful we chose this option and this organization. Having him at home, in his safe space, with his family to go peacefully was such a blessing.

Dr. Maggie

Dr. Maggie’s calm demeanor, compassion, patience, and humanity made an incredibly difficult time so much more manageable. She took her time with Shadow and always went at his pace, making his comfort her priority. She is gentle, thorough, and she is exactly who you want to care for your pet. There aren’t words big enough to express what she did for Shadow and I, and I could never thank her enough.

Dr. Briana

Our beloved farm dog Baby entered paradise yesterday. Dr. Briana was so gentle and kind with our dog and with us. Our dog was able to drift off to sleep without the anxiety of having to go to a vet’s office. Baby was a working dog guarding our family’s farm for 11 years. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Briana. From beginning to end she released compassion and love. Our dog is at peace, and she helped make that possible. This morning a rainbow appeared pointing down directly toward the area our dog Baby was just buried. It’s the confirmation I needed to know without a doubt that we will see her again someday. 🌈
