After nearly 18 wonderful years with my precious little girl, I knew the time had come to say…read moregoodbye. I wanted her final moments to be peaceful and free of stress, so instead of going to the vet clinic, I scheduled a home visit with A Gentle Farewell. From the moment Dr. Orlando stepped through the door, her warmth and compassion filled the room. She was gentle, patient, and everything you would hope for in someone guiding you through such a difficult day. She took time to explain each step with care, always pausing to ensure I was comfortable and understood what would happen next. Saying goodbye is never easy, but Dr. Orlando's kindness and respect made all the difference. She treated my sweet girl with such tenderness, giving her a calm, dignified transition over the rainbow bridge. Though it's a moment no pet parent ever wants to face, I am deeply grateful to have had Dr. Orlando's support. I would wholeheartedly recommend A Gentle Farewell to anyone who wants their beloved companion's final moments to be filled with peace and love.

My pets WERE patients here for 20+ years. Since before Covid, MVC has been going downhill and…read morecontinues to do so. They were bought out by a corporation and the vets keep changing and then the staff kept changing too. In late 2020, l l had to get angry and rude and demand a different medicine that does not cause seizures for my poor pet. My baby was not going through that horrific experience again. Gabapentin has a huge side effect of causing seizures. The vet did not want to believe me. Also, the staff continually confused and messed up appointments as did the online booking tool once they had one (this was from 2020 up through 2024). And then I was made out to look like the one who booked incorrectly, no their online software is set to the wrong time zone. I'd come with my pet at the specified time and be turned away. Really? Thanks for not caring about my pet's needs. They lost me as a customer forever. I nowadays go to a different vet's office around town. There are many others that do better than this corporation. And I know all prices have gone up but not as much as MVC. It's all about big $$. Just pass and go to one of the many others around this town. Your pets will thank you.

No one is better at anthropomorphizing their pet than I am. No one. I religiously check the…read moreingredients of the food that Gus eats, I wake up at absurd hours in the morning during the summer so his walk isn't too hot, and he has this crazy dog seat/throne in the back seat of my car so he can look out the window. You've all heard of helicopter parenting, yeah? It's a mess and screwing up today's children, but I'm totally guilty of helicopter doggie parenting. All of which is to say that I'm not going to drop Gus off at some random place while I go to work. Step 1 (which I think the other reviewer skipped/missed): call them and make an appointment. Taking a strange dog into a place full of dogs is a little dicey. Typically, new dogs are brought over on Saturday (when there are no other dogs around) so Barbara can get a sense of its temperament. Barbara is great with dogs and has a ton of experience, but I totally had the, "well, if my kid isn't good enough for them, screw them!" thoughts running through my head. Obviously, Barbara instantly saw the inherent awesomeness of Gus. Step 2: learn to let go. I don't have kids, but I imagine this is pretty much the same as dropping them off at daycare. The first few times, they scream and cry when you leave and you're left feeling like a terrible person for the rest of the day. Then one day, magically, they're excited to go to daycare (or Bow WoW) and they don't even look back while they're led away to the playroom. It's a bittersweet moment, but one can't help but feel a little proud. See what I mean about the anthropomorphizing thing? Bow Wow separates the dogs by size and organizes the day into blocks of play, rest, and exercise so the dogs don't get overstimulated, which can cause stress. The staff is excellent about communicating with owners about even minor changes in your dog's behavior and simply giving you updates about how your dog's socialization and adjustment. I think I spent the first 2-3 weeks asking, "Is he playing? Is he making friends?" on a daily basis. The entire staff was very good about humoring me. Gus loves it there (his radar triggers around 21st street and he starts to flip out in the car) and I feel safe about leaving him there. And honestly, when it comes to a doggie day care, that's all that matters.
