    My beloved Diesel, a lover of all things and never met a stranger.  Godspeed!
    Cliff J.

    It's taken me nearly 6 months to compose myself to write this much needed review but I must say, Heart's Ease and Dr. Bennett are top notch and worthy of 10 stars if Yelp allowed it. Losing a beloved pet is not easy. Having to make the choice of ending your pets life, allowing them to die with dignity, is the toughest decision we as pet lovers will ever face. Many years ago, when my beloved Diesel was a puppy getting his 8 week shots, an older gentleman stumbled into our vets office carrying his old Labrador in his arms, tears rolling down his face. We sat in the waiting room listening as this poor man sobbed for nearly an hour after his beloved Lab crossed the rainbow bridge. I knew from that day forward, I never wanted to be in that uncomfortable situation if I could in any way avoid it. In March of this year, Diesel's arm had swollen, prompting a vet visit. A couple x-rays later, we confirm it is bone cancer, our hearts sank. 12 years old, so many memories, so many good times, unconditional love, and now cancer? It just isn't fair. We agreed we would keep him comfortable, make his last few weeks some of the best ever and he would let us know when it's time. Nearly a month later we called Hearts Ease and inquired as to the procedure and how much notice is needed. Dr. Bennett and staff explained the procedure well and were so empathetic, and so helpful in our families time of grief. Several days later, Diesel made it clear to us, his work on Earth was done. Dr. Bennett came to our home that morning and helped my beloved Diesel, comfortably and painlessly cross over the rainbow bridge. I still miss him terribly and think of him daily, often times crying as I'm reminiscing just how great of a dog and family member Diesel was to us. The most important thing to note though, is just how comfortable our entire family was getting to be here in our home, surrounded by each other in our time of grieving. This is truly what sets Hearts Ease apart from your average vet. I highly recommend the services offered by Hearts Ease to everyone. While they may be a bit higher price wise, you owe it to your beloved pet to be peaceful in his/her home when the time comes.

    We called Heart's Ease for an emergency euthanasia last week as our sweet dog Musket took a turn for the worse. It's stressful enough to lose a pet but especially stressful during current social distancing restrictions. We were beyond grateful that Dr. Bennett was willing to come assist us. We asked for the latest time slot available so we could have more time to say goodbye to our dog. I'm not sure how it might have interrupted Dr. Bennett's schedule but she called at the very end of her availability which I was also so grateful for. We never felt rushed, anxious, or nervous throughout the process. Dr. Bennett took us slowly through each step, one at a time, checking in with us frequently- all while we are all masked and working to keep a safe social distance. Later that day, many reassurances that Dr. Bennett made during the procedure became vital and helpful. She repeated a few times that should would not leave until she was 100% certain our dog had passed. While I held her limp body and knew she was in dead- in my grief and disbelief I had a few moments of late night anxiety after burying her.. and Dr. Bennett's words and reminders helped reground me.. My dog was gone, but she passed peacefully and she had a great life.. all that was left was to grieve. Having put my first dog down at the vet, I can't tell you how worth it it was to work with Heart's Ease rather than going to the vet. The vet staff was wonderful and awesome-- but keeping our dog at home where she was relaxed and surrounded by familiar smells and sights made a difficult situation bearable. Dr. Bennett's calm, patient, and compassionate service made all the difference in such a painful moment. I cannot recommend it enough.

    I have no adequate words for expressing our gratitude for Dr.Courtney Bennett and her kind-hearted office associate, Cori. We had used Heart's ease and had the opportunity to meet Dr. Bennett several years ago when we needed an in-home euthanization for our dog Booker, who had been under a 10-day quarantine, after accidentally biting my husband while having a seizure. Even though we were meeting Dr. Bennett for the first time that day, she immediately put us at ease and captured the attention of Booker, who decided he loved her about one minute after meeting her. We were afforded all the time we needed, during the entire procedure and afterwards, also. And Dr. Bennett stayed with us as we brought our dog Ruby in to see Booker, afterwards. She stayed even after Booker had been moved from our house, and she engaged in treat-giving and playing with Ruby, while talking with us about our ever-growing dog memorial corner in our living room. Fast forward about 4 years (last month) when our dog Ruby began losing too much weight in a short period of time. After comprehensive blood panels, x-rays, and ultrasound, I was delivered the shocking news that Ruby had a very large mass on her spleen, no-doubt cancerous, and was at risk for an inevitable, painful spleen bleed-out. We already knew the gravity of the situation after a similar cancer experience with our sweet Booker, but instead of jumping right in and doing what we knew Ruby needed for us to do, I contacted Heart's Ease once again, this time inquiring about Palliative Care. We wanted, if possible, to have a little bit of time for adjusting to the devastating news about Ruby and to also give our active and fun-loving girl a bucket list of places to go, friends to see, and formerly forbidden yummies to eat. She was SO happy during those 3 weeks, and we were able to focus on celebrating her life, literally until our last minute with her. We had felt pretty much at ease with appropriate medications available, along with careful guidance from Dr. Bennett. Our girl had only one difficult day, but her concerning symptoms were eased just about immediately after contacting Cori, and receiving Dr. Bennett's input and instruction. Gratefully were able to stick with our original transition date for Ruby, without having to move it up. The experience with Dr.Bennett when Ruby's rainbow day finally arrived was similar to when she was in our home at the end of Booker's life, except this time, she had already spent some time with Ruby, which made a big difference to us and I'm sure to Ruby, also. God bless Dr. Bennett and sweet, compassionate Cori, for making what felt like an unthinkable situation so much easier for all of us. We are left feeling like we had already reached peaceful resolve, even before letting go if our Ruby girl. For this, our gratitude is immeasurable..

    I can't say enough good things about Middletown Animal Clinic. After moving to Louisville in 2015,…read morewe tried a few veterinarians and were bitterly disappointed. A neighbor recommended Middletown Animal Clinic and it was like 'coming home.' Dr. Stephanie and Dr. McReynolds give top-notch care with utmost compassion. The receptionist is so caring and works hard to keep things moving. When back-ups occur, she is quick to apprise those who are waiting about the situation in a courteous and kind manner. The vet techs/assistants are just as caring and compassionate as the docs. The office is small, with no actual waiting area, so you phone them from your car and wait to be called inside. The exam rooms (entire building) are older and in dire need of updating (dated wallpaper, flooring, dusty and cluttered shelving), but newer equipment is present. I feel the place could use a deep cleaning and some cosmetic changes. However, what the office lacks in appearance, it more than makes up for with compassionate, knowledgeable veterinarians and staff. I will take that trade off any day! The office is located on Main Street in the heart of 'Historic Middletown.' There are 6-7 parking spaces in the front of the building, but street parking is also available up and down the street.

    After utilizing several veterinary establishments in the Middletown area; we are so glad that we…read moredecided on the Middletown Animal Clinic on Main Street. Drs. Stephanie Koehler and Marilyn McReynolds are extremely knowledgeable and treat our pets like their own. The same is true of the staff including (Laura Shircliff, Receptionist and Client-Care Team Leader). The facility is small with only five parking places and no waiting room. You simply park and call the receptionist. She stays in contact with you to let you know when a room is ready. The facility is in need of remodeling and updating but I'll give them a 'pass' in lieu of the superb treatment.
