Truly incredible. Making the decision to humanely euthanize is one of the hardest in the world. My 18 year old cat, Sandy, short of her 19th birthday was diagnosed with severe kidney disease 2 days ago. She declined rapidly and it was clear that she was in pain and suffering. Grappling with the reality that my otherwise healthy, old, baby was declining so rapidly was more difficult than words could explain. However, Dr. Marie made the process truly comfortable. She was able to accommodate and show up same-day; Sandy was suffering and we didn't want to prolong it if it could be avoided. Dr. Marie outlined the steps of the procedure before arriving, over the phone; she gave us a comprehensive quote. And the process was truly the best I have ever experienced. I had to put down 19-year-old cat last year but we did it at our regular vet in the clinic. If I had known about Dr. Marie's services last year I would have scheduled her to come to my home. Today, Dr. Maria arrived and was incredible. She is truly compassionate, kind, empathetic, and loving. She accommodated my wish to euthanize Sandy on my bed, which was her favorite spot; she loved to sleep next to me and we spent most nights sleeping and waking up together, so I wanted Sandy's last breath to be on that bed where she was so comfortable. Dr. Marie put a little towel and pee pad under Sandy, just in case, and we made her extremely comfortable. Dr. Marie was soothing the entire time. I asked if I could have two prints made, one for me and my sister and she granted that wish; she asked if I wanted any of the fur shavings from the little area on the arm that she had to shave to see the vein. After the procedure, she made the paw print molds right there on my bed, which was an added touch that gave me extra time with Sandy; I wasn't ready to shortly let go, unlike the time I euthanized another cat in a clinic. Dr. Marie made light, enjoyable conversation. At the end she gently bundled Sandy up and carried her carefully out. Truly the best experience that can happen during such a difficult time. The entire procedure was gentle, compassionate, and comfortable. read more
