“I cannot express how grateful I am for Dr. Stephanie and Holly for the compassion and care during one of the hardest moments of my life. The moment Dr. Stephanie stepped inside my home I felt her warm energy and knew immediately that my baby girl was going to be in the right hands. I really appreciated how within just a few moments of meeting each other, she had made me feel seen and heard and like we had always been friends and that she had always known my lil old lady Tila. It was the most peaceful process and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. <3”

“I'm so sorry that you are here reading reviews, I remember this moment and it's absolutely gut-wrenching. Though nothing would have made the day easier, I know in every ounce of my being that choosing Stephanie definitely made a difference. It took me a while to be able to write this, and honestly, it's still difficult over a month later. But I wanted to share my experience because I hope it helps someone else who finds themselves facing the hardest decision a pet owner can make. Saying goodbye to my Sushi was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I've lost other fur babies before, but this was the first time I had to be the one to make the decision, that is a whole other level of pain. Sushi was being treated for kidney disease & Hyperthyroidism for over 2 years. I watched him decline slowly over a month and then rapidly over just a couple of days. He had pretty much stopped eating altogether and was struggling to walk because his muscles were weak. The hardest part was that he still came to me, purred, and enjoyed being petted. It was like his mind was still there, but his body was giving out. I barely slept for days because I stayed up with him to watch him because I was afraid he would be alone when he needed me. I knew what I needed to do, but how could I make that choice, I couldn't. What finally made me make the decision to reach out was reading about what end-stage kidney disease could do if I waited too long. I wasn't going to let him suffer a painful end because I was too heartbroken and selfish to let him go. He deserved better. After I made the choice to do what was right for him, It still took me until the next day just to send the first text. I texted back and forth with the receptionist over the course of about seven hours because every time she responded, it would take me forever to type my next message. I was crying so hard that I could barely see the screen and breathe, it felt surreal that I was in this moment. She never once rushed me or sent another message to prompt me when I took a long time to respond. At the end of the day, my last text went unanswered because the office had closed, that's how long I took, and we simply picked the conversation back up the next morning. I appreciated the patience and kindness more than I can express. When Stephanie arrived, she gently explained everything that would happen and never rushed us. She has such a sweet and caring demeanor. She reassured us that we were making the right decision and even pointed out physical signs that showed his body was ready, which brought us a small amount of comfort in knowing we weren't choosing too soon. I want to say she spent close to an hour with us before giving Sushi the sedative, allowing us all the time we needed. She just let us love him and cry. She only engaged in conversation when we initiated it, she just patiently let us lead. Even though she warned us how quickly some fur babies are completely out after the sedative, we still weren't prepared. He was instantly out, I thought he would slowly drift and enjoy a few moments of twilight sleep. That was not the case, we could tell he was mentally gone the moment the shot hit. After he was peacefully asleep, she again gave us all the time we wanted before....... We chose not to be present for the final injection because I knew I couldn't handle seeing that moment. Stephanie was incredibly kind and compassionate throughout the entire process. If you're questioning who you should trust to help you say goodbye to your beloved pet, I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that you will not regret choosing Stephanie. During the most heartbreaking moments of my life, she treated both Sushi and our family with incredible compassion and patience. I will always be grateful for the way she treated us. Again, I'm so sorry you're here and I'm sending you all the love.”
