She is kind beyond words, compassionate, skilled and practical -- attributes we all wished we had in our own physicians and certainly attributes that make someone a fabulous veterinarian. She is great with all our animals' preventative care, has coordinated with specialty veterinarians when we've needed and has demonstrated the most extraordinary grace and sensitivity in those very sad situations when we have had to "say goodbye" to a beloved pet. If you love your animals like family, this is the care they deserve.

It took 10-15 minutes more for the vet to talk to me about the issue and a plan. It took much longer for the procedure, but my dog needed sedated and time to wake up.

I had to euthanize my 16 year old dog due to her declining health and quality of life. For weeks I…read morewas going back and forth about it but Lap of Love made me feel better about my decision. I really appreciated the people I spoke to over the phone when asking questions about the whole procedure and setting up the appointment because they were very supportive and respectful. Dr. Renee was amazing. Very sweet to my baby girl on her final day with us and she was comfortable and peaceful in her passing. They offer a complimentary clay paw print and Dr. Renee was able to shave some hair for me. It was a quick procedure and Dr. Renee ensured that she was in no pain during the procedure and she was safe when being taken away. I chose to do private cremation and was able to pick up the ashes from the crematory after a few days. I've had to euthanize previous dogs before but this was my first time using Lap of Love and I thought the whole process was perfect for my old gal.

I don't want to get into details because it's all still too raw, but after realizing it was time to say goodbye to my 15 year old best friend, I knew I wanted her to be at home and not at a vet's office when she transitioned. I talked to their team and they were very helpful, answered all our questions, and just helped us make the right decision. Dr. Jeannie was so compassionate and kind. She took care of everything, walked us through the entire process. While this was such a hard day, the team really helped us through and helped us give our sweet girl a peaceful sendoff.

As soon as we walked in and told them the issue, they immediately put us in a room, ran calculations of our dog's weight versus the amount of chocolate digested. Needless to say, they had to induce vomiting. Dr. Berger explained everything from the beginning and her staff told us the costs upfront. From the beginning, during our dog's "purging," and then the after care, the staff was wonderful making sure we and our dog were doing okay. The wife and I were extremely impress with the staff and care that we received. We are also happy that this high level of vet care is available in our area. Keep up the great work Mayfair!

Sadly, I had to enlist Dr. Noe and her assistant, Ezra, to help my sweet kitty, Frankie Bear, cross…read morethe rainbow bridge. This is something no one ever wants to do, but if we bring furbabies into our hearts and homes, we'll likely have to do it at some point. The last thing I wanted to do was to traumatize my terminally ill kitty with a car ride to a cold, sterile vet's office (no offense to any vets) like I've had to in the past. After doing research, Dr. Noe was reasonably priced (although that's not necessarily super important in these situations), quick to respond, professional, and compassionate. She clearly explained what would be happening and allowed us to set the pace. Nothing happened until we were ready - including our final goodbye. Even better, when it was finally time to leave, Frankie was placed into a basket and tucked in with a blanket he would've loved. His passing was peaceful, respectful and surrounded by love. **The photo I'm attaching is him before they left. He looks like he's taking a quiet nap and I'm so happy to remember him this way.**

Any dog that gets to come live at the Big Dog Rescue has hit the jackpot. Although it's not a…read moreforever home, it is a gorgeous sanctuary for dogs to leave the streets and shelter for some decompression in Sonoma County. My dog Cherly was a homeless hound from Oklahoma who lived at the Big Dog Rescue for a year and a half of her life. Cheryl saved my girl and gave her a chance even though no one wanted her as she was one of their long term residents. This peaceful palace is a fully fenced sanctuary. Cheryl (the owner) and staff has put so much love and care into her passions. They dogs she's rehabilitated, the care they receive, they support they get. You have to be one lucky pup to be at the Big Dog. My dog loves coming back to the Big Dog for visits. She's super excited and happy. Cheryl wants to make sure her dogs are going to the home that is the perfect match. She will carefully screen as every rescue should do. I've read some of the 1 star reviews on here. And Cheryl is right, dogs are not ment to spend hours outside. What if it's hot? She is correct and has every right to be concerned where her dogs are placed. If you are not a good fit of she is not comfortable with your household, then I'm sure there is another match out there waiting for you to save them.

We have been thinking about adopting a dog for a long time. When we thought we were ready, we…read morelooked online and found a dog we liked. He was listed as available at Big Dog Rescue. I filled up the application and I received a one-liner response: "he is gone". I asked for a different dog and the answer was "gone too". I believe my application was a disaster, because I had no clue of what you are supposed to do with a dog and I wrote what I thought we would do. After researching the topic, I can see why they would not consider us for adoption with that application ;-) However, I wrote back asking to speak with them to understand why they did not spend more than a second to reply (I was looking for some suggestions on if we are ok to adopt or if we should not even bother). They never answered. I guess they are great with dogs but have a problem with humans.

We had a great first month at Olivet Kennel with our dog, Jack…read more The staff and owner do an excellent job caring for our 90 lbs Tamaskan. We like that the staff understands Jack and are careful not to overwhelm him with too many other dogs all at once. They are taking a careful and tailored approach for Jack, which is exactly what we were hoping for when we started with the daycare program. I met the owner, Wendy, the other day when I picked Jack up from daycare. She was checking in on the dogs and staff. She is kind, caring, and seems to be very knowledgeable about all kinds of dog breeds and behaviors. The office staff also deserves positive feedback, they kindly changed my daycare appointment today at no extra cost when I couldn't make the appointment. It's also the reason for writing this positive review today. Overall, Olivet Kennel is a professional run facility with an online booking system that still feels like a family business that you can trust. The kennel is clean and inviting. So far, we are very happy with their service!

Be very cautious!…read more My dog got very sick after staying here and almost died. The manager Stephanie admitted that this season was very active. It seems unprofessional to let sick dogs stay there but I guess they just care about money. Also I had prepaid for a daycare package. When I tried to use it they told me that it had expired during the time my dog was sick. I told Stephanie there's no way I could use the prepaid package while my dog was sick. She had not been in contact with any other dogs so I am 100% certain she caught it at Olivet. They never did honor the daycare pass I paid for and told me "sorry but it expired". Seemed odd for them to be so stubborn about a policy after my dog almost died because of them allowing sick dogs to stay there. I paid over $2000 in vet bills because of them and my dog nearly died. You've been warned, proceed with caution.

While hospice was with my wife, her little terrier Zoey was right by her side. My wife's hand was…read morealways on that little pooch. As she approached the end, my wife asked me to take care of Zoey for her after she was gone. Since Zoey was blind, taking care of her created an especially strong bond between the two of us. Sadly, Zoey had kidney disease and four months after my wife passed I lost Zoey. Grief stricken does not begin to describe my mental state at that time. Our little dog was gone and I was now completely alone. Fortunately the wonderful vet who helped Zoey cross to the rainbow bridge told me about Cara DeLaRosa. I contacted Cara and began meeting regularly with her. There is no way I could have made that journey alone, none! Slowly while working with Cara and working on 'homework' projects she suggested, I was able to talk about my lost dear ones without breaking down every time. I will be forever grateful that I met Cara because I was in serious emotional trouble that could have easily gone south without her thoughtful guidance. Cara is a gem, and we are so lucky to have her helpful counsel available in our community.
