And his staff are really compassionate about their patients, he had already given my muggzee his shots and a thorough checkup, before I or muggzee knew what was going on. He was able to draw blood with minimal fuss and I didn't think muggzee even felt it. His vet tech was absolutely amazing, she had a very tight yet comforting hold on my pup and he only squirmed a little when they clipped his nails ( he hates it and NOBODY has been able to get them all until then) I wish Yelp would allow 10 stars or more. Also their rates are so reasonable, I really thought that the visit would have cost me double what I had paid. Even though we live 3 hours away and only visit on weekends in the summer, we will be going to Woodstock veterinary hospital for life. Thanks for the amazing experience!

When we landed in upstate, we were on the hunt for a great practice to bring our furry family. It was by accident we found Bilmar when putting down our old cat last year as the amazing woman who came to our home and helped us say good bye to Tobe is married to one of the veterinarians at Bilmar. So, we took a chance (after being frustrated with care for years) and made an appointment the next time our cat needed help with a recurring URI. We have not been disappointed... far from it. Bilmar is the very best. Kind, caring, animal lovers, they care about the animals and the owners, INCREDIBLY well informed and thorough. Everyone from the front desk through techs and vets are amazing. We adopted a special needs dog last year rescued from a brutal breeding situation and Lucille just loves it there. She is always excited to arrive and when we do, she goes in the back with the staff with joy. Not a small feat for our velcro pup. To me, that says it all.

I have a complaint for Bilmar. I brought my puppy in for his last puppy shot and was informed by…read morethe staff that I was not to come in with him. The tech took him into the room and when he was returned to me I was informed that they performed a de-worming as well. My puppy was not scheduled for this. I had given her a stool sample for testing. When I asked why it was performed I got an argument from the tech. The vet had confirmed my distress, the dog was not scheduled for a de-worming. The dog had a reaction with multiple episodes of vomiting. I do not trust this office and will not return. Make sure you go with your pet when they are being treated.

I was told someone would call me. No one called back. I was informed that I would not be allowed to take cats home in a cat carrier on a bicycle because that would be too dangerous. Based on what? Elly Monfett said because that is what she thinks. This in New York, the first state to grant equal rights of the road to bicyclists, in 1887. (All states do now.) Bicycling is safe enough for me, but not for the cats? Are you going to arrest a mother who is bicycling for having a baby aboard? Cats are more dear than babies? A number of surveys show bicycling on the road is no more dangerous than an equal time travelling in a car. Fred Costello offered to pick up the cats and deliver them to me, but Elly Monfett threw my application away and gave the cats to someone else. I will be happy when she is gone.

In the days before her departure over the Rainbow Bridge, I researched cremation services as I wanted KiKi's ashes to remain with us should we move in the future. I emailed two companies the same question asking about the fees associated with the services and received two vastly different responses. Susan, the owner of Sienna Sky promptly responded with a sincere, thoughtful and information filled email. (The other business, Infinity, responded two days later with a single sentence in all lower case letters). I knew that she would be the person to contact and make arrangements once the time came. Sadly, the time came sooner than I had initially thought and I reached back out to Susan the following day. When I called, the warmth, genuine concern and empathy radiated from Susan's voice. I knew that this was going to be the perfect choice for my little girl's after care. Susan was patient and listened to each question I asked and made sure that I gathered all desired information for the phone call. She let me know that I was free to contact her with any further questions regarding our plan for KiKi. My husband and I opted for a Witnessed cremation which meant that we were along side KiKi every step of the way. We brought her down to the Crematorium in Ghent (from Albany), we met with Susan and Jamie (who assisted with cremations) upon arrival. Neither rushed the process as we filled out some short forms for records and after care wishes. Per optional suggestion from Susan via email and phone call, we wrote a letter to KiKi and included three photos in the envelope. We also brought along her favorite treat and wrapped her in a scarf of mine turned blanket. The Witnessed Cremation gave us a tour of the facility and showed that the crematory was empty. At this point, it should be worth noting that many pet cremations are group cremations and owners may not be receiving the ashes of their own pet afterwards. Sienna Sky, formerly Buddy's Place in Hudson, was founded as the former owner wanted to create an experience that gave pet owners the peace of mind that their pet was being cremated with dignity and not discarded in any unknown way. We discussed urns and memorials prior to the cremation. As a dear friend had offered to make a custom urn, we opted for the standard velvet bag which holds a plastic bag that contains the ashes. The selection of urns is quite incredible and there are options for all budgets and tastes. (There is a large selection of cremation jewelry and I had opted for a discreet sterling silver teardrop pendant told hold some of KiKi's ashes for my own keepsake.) Each service comes with a memorial bookmark personalized for the pet being cremated as well. There are additional services that can be added for a fee such as paw prints (which we did and I was able to take some myself) and clay prints. When we were ready, Susan and Jamie brought my husband and I to the back room where KiKi's body was prepared for cremation. Wrapped in her blanket with treat, letters and photos, the door of the crematory was opened and she was placed in. The door closed and in moments she was set free. A witnessed cremation means that you will go home with the ashes of your pet the same day. Susan has a list of various things for you to do such as coffee or a bite to eat or a place to go for a walk as the process takes place. Susan gave us a return time for when KiKi's ashes were ready. We arrived back at Sienna Sky to the ashes carefully packaged in a black velvet bag that also contained the certificate of cremation, some fur trimmings and oddly enough, three tiny toe bones that did not turn to ash. A tag with "KiKi" and the dates displaying her time here on earth was attached to the bag. Susan even took the time to place some of KiKi's ashes into my new pendant which I promptly put on. She will always be both within and next to my heart. Talking with Susan post-cremation, we learned a bit more about Sienna Sky and Lily Pond Sanctuary. I decided that all of our unused cat items were to be donated to her (including brand new bags and needles for subcutaneous fluid administration and prescription cat food). I drove back down to Ghent on Sunday to deliver these much needed and appreciated supplies. While the loss of our fur babies is a very sad and depressing thought, it is a reality that we will all face. While cremation, let along witness cremation may not be for everyone, I found this entire experience to be absolutely beautiful and fulfilling. I can not recommend Susan and Sienna Sky enough. Thank you, for bringing my little Ki's life full circle and for making such a wonderful memory out of her departure from this world.
