She fought lymphoma and was in remission for 18 months but couldn't out run kidney failure. We want to say is a special thank you to Dr Dahlgren for: 1. Validating we were doing the right thing - it is so hard to know if you wait to long and decide too early. Dr Dahlgren confirmed our intuition was correct. 2. Giving us a peaceful process in our own home. Dr Dahlgren explained everything that would happen and made it a kind and caring process, never rushing us, giving us the time to say goodbye. 3. Respecting Taffy in how she was comfortably carried out and left our home. We appreciated how Dr Dahlgren came in with respect and kindness of our special girl by bringing a blanket filled basket that Taffy was placed in and carried out with such care. 4. Partnering with Agape Cremation who kept us up to date on each step of Taffy's cremation process. It was amazing and greatly appreciated. 5. Checking on us 4 weeks to the day that we had to say goodbye. We wish we had found LovingKindness when we had to say goodbye to our little boy, Runner, in 2016....I will never ever put my beloved companions through the stress of going to the veterinarian's office to say goodbye now that LovingKindness is here. Again, we cannot thank LovingKindness so much for taking us through this horrible time but giving our baby girl the peace and respect that she 100,000% deserved.

I did not get the prescriptions because they were controlled. I had to physically call them three times to get the prescription after the initial visit we no longer heard from Lap Of Love. They didn't check in once a week. They didn't prescribe any medication and they most importantly did not make our girl comfortable. Our Lexi passed away on March 31 today May 14th I received an email asking how Lexi Is? Lap Of Love charged us $605 for their service. Honestly, it isn't about the money I would've paid triple that to save her. It was about the lack of compassion, empathy, and care they lacked.

By morning, I knew I had to let her go, and the thought of taking her to a vet's office where her anxiety would peak with other animals and the noise made me feel awful for her. I was very upset myself, and googled at home pet euthanasia. I called the first place on the list, and they didn't answer. Lap of Love was listed second. I called them and they picked up the phone. That's how they got chosen at 7:45 a.m. The woman I spoke with over the phone was very, very kind. She explained their policies and pricing, gave me time to choose what i wanted to do, and scheduled Dr. Jennie to come to my house between one and two that day. Dr. Jennie called an hour or so before to let me know exactly when she'd arrive (between 1:15 and 1:20). She was absolutely punctual. My dog had been crying before she got there, and was comforted by my holding her. Dr. Jennie encouraged me to do whatever felt right for both me and Gabi. She explained the process to us, took a clip of Gabi's hair for me to save, as well as a paw print. I got to hold my girl the whole time. Dr. Jennie administered the shots when WE were ready, including the final one that stopped Gabi's heart. She wrapped a potty pad around Gabi's bottom half so that I could hold her as she passed, and I did. I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Jennie and Lap of Love. Losing Gabi so suddenly after sixteen years was nothing short of traumatizing, but they made our last hour together so much more peaceful than it might have been otherwise. Gabi died in my arms, with her head on my shoulder, in the home she knew with the people who loved her around her. The next day, I received an email from Dr. Jennie, letting me know that she was thinking of me and how to access grief services if I needed them. I chose to have Gabi's ashes returned to me and was told it would take two weeks; I just got notified yesterday that they were ready. It had been eight days. I wouldn't normally go into so much detail about the process, but I know that if I had anticipated needing services so soon, I would have wanted to know exactly what happened. I'm so grateful that Gabi's passing was peaceful in the end, and I would recommend Lap of Love to anyone in need of services such as these.

Saying goodbye to our beloved Golden Retriever was heartbreaking, but she made an incredibly painful moment a little easier for us. The thoughtful touches, from the treats to the comfortable bed and pillow for him to leave with, were incredibly meaningful to us. Knowing he was comfortable and surrounded by love during his final moments made such a difference. What meant the most to us was that Dr. Melanie took the time to be with us and never made us feel rushed. She gave us the time we needed to be with him, say goodbye, and simply have those final moments together. That time and compassion meant everything to us. Our only regret is that we didn't find Dr. Melanie sooner. We wish we had known about her palliative and hospice care services earlier so we could have had her support in keeping him comfortable during his final weeks. We are incredibly grateful for the kindness, compassion, and care Dr. Melanie showed our family. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate end-of-life care for their pet.
