My regular vet suggested it was time to have my senior dog put to sleep. We discussed the options and came to the conclusion that it was for the best. I wanted my dog to be at home for it, but my regular vet does not do house calls. So, they recommended Dr. Carillo. I called her and after talking to her assistant on the phone she came to my house right away. She was at my house for 3+ hours trying to convince me that a ton of medicines would extend my dogs life by a few months (even though there were no guarantees it would enhance his quality of life). She pressured us for HOURS to spend $$$$ on a small chance we'd get a few extra months. It was just incredibly cruel for her to do that to us. It was such a hard decision to make already. Her insensitivity and refusal to see the bigger picture was awful. Quality of life is more important than quantity and she doesn't even take that into consideration. My dog was already over 15 yrs old. He had an above average life span. I'm sure it was all so she could make a few extra bucks. My dog was basically poked and prodded while she did her "testing". Ultimately, she did put my dog to sleep, but it was not the peaceful passing I wanted for him. We were terribly sad to begin with and Dr. Carillo made it a million times worse by making it entirely too stressful. read more
