If you're reading this, chances are you're in the midst of having to make a very hard decision while grieving the impending loss of a beloved family member. I was in that place just a couple weeks ago, sobbing while calling around to find the "perfect" veterinarian...someone who would be compassionate, caring, calm, and patient, all while our beloved dog with a history of anxiety would feel safe to be around as she takes her final breath. I finally had my mind set on a vendor, but their schedules didn't work out at the end. As I cried uncontrollably feeling like I'm back to square one, our dog's regular veterinarian reminded me the most important thing was to do it quickly in order to ease our dog's pain. So I took a leap of faith, chose the first available veterinarian I could find, and prayed the yelp reviews were honest and accurate. And I'm so glad we found Dr. Charlie. He not only had all the qualities I was looking for, but was so supportive in guiding our family through those moments of vulnerability and grief. I hope we don't have to use his service again, but if we do (or anyone we know who does), La Fin will be the first place in mind. read more

The hardest decision I never thought I ever had to make! It still leaves me with a knot in my throat! But time was running out for us, we couldn't bare seeing my pup in so much pain. I was afraid to let her go honestly. We constantly looked for solutions .even after every vet visit, we knew what we had to do. Believe it or not, I thought euthanizing my pet at the vet was going to be a little comforting, since my first fur baby left us naturally at home, but I was wrong!! I never thought at home euthanasia was an option I looked online, and it led me here. The reviews were 5+ and gave me comfort with the decision we were about to make. And let me tell you, it was the best best best decision we ever did! My little Lola was at home with all her family , in her bed (and not some cold metal table)as much as this decision is so heartbreaking, I rather live in pain than having her suffer! Dr Charlie. I can't thank you enough for the patience you had with all of us having to say goodbye to our fur baby. You didn't rush us! You gave us the amount needed to say our goodbyes, even though I'm sure there's never a certain to do so. You were gracious! You were careful and above all, your service brought me warmth knowing my fur baby came back to me safely I thank you multiple times!! read more

La Fin Veterinary - Buddy dob: 2/2010 - 09/25/2026 - Pet Cremation Services Near Me

I'm so thankful I went with Dr Charlie! He came to my home in Boyle Heights. When he first arrived my pup loved him which says a lot. He explained everything answered my concerns and guided us through the process till the end when he announced the time of death. He was so sweet he said Mister has passed over the rainbow. He gave us time to say goodbye and cry. When it was done he brought over a stretcher and placed him and covered him with a nice fluffy blanket. Strapped him in and my son and Dr Charlie carried him to the SUV. He was so sympathetic and soft spoken. He made us a small paw print. A week later I got a card. And 2 weeks later I was able to get my dog's Ashes back. Along with the urn we got a name place and a beautiful urn and 2 certificates one of euthanasia and one of cremation. Dr Charlie made the process smooth. Thank you so much. read more

La Fin Veterinary - I still need to place a pic of my pup. - Pet Cremation Services Near Me

We had to have our 16 year old Samson euthanized at the same time my mother's viewing was taking place. As you might imagine, it was not an easy time for our family. However, La Fin Veterinary made this unfortunate process as smooth as it could possibly go. After finding the phone number on Yelp, I called Melissa at about 2pm and presented Samson's symptoms and what I believed were the next best steps. She was compassionate and clear with what services La Fin offered and at what cost. She was able to help me set an appointment for Dr. Charlie to come to our home to euthanize Samson just two hours later. Dr. Charlie called when he was on his way and when he arrived, he made sure I understood every step of what was going to happen. He was technical, but not cold. In fact he held space for me to be as sad and emotional as I needed to be given the circumstances. He was efficient, but not in a rush. Dr. Charlie took the time to make a paw print and save some of Samson's fur. For payment there was an option to pay through Zelle before Dr. Charlie's visit or once Dr. Charlie was at home. It's been less than 2 weeks since we said goodbye to Samson and his urn is ready to be picked up tomorrow. Melissa sent a text 3-4 days in advance to let us know so we could prepare to pick him up. Dr. Charlie informed me that Melissa is trained to help people with grief. This is evidence that they truly understand how difficult saying goodbye to our pets/companions is and care enough to make sure they are skilled enough to support their customers. read more

Words cannot explain how hard it was to let my 17.5 yr old pup go. The team at La Fin provided me compassionate advice and thorough explanation of what I need to know. I did not decide right away. But when my pup declined further a week later I called La Fin back. It was important to me for my pup to be comfortable and surrounded by people who loved her. She was the first pet I took care of since puppyhood. She was like a daughter to me. Dr Charlie was very kind through the whole process. I have never gone through this before so I was really at a loss what to even do. Dr Charlie and his team were compassionate and very helpful. read more

Immediate contact from the La Fin Folks, assistant Kris initially, and a follow up by Dr. Charlie. I was able to express My fears & anxieties re: My kitty Luci's situation, and I received medical-esque direction on My next steps to take: I needed this, because Mr. Google can only get Me so far in the data-research silo loll. It's not easy, knowing in My heart & My gut when "it's Time"... but the La Fin Folks have been in this tunnel a bunch of times already, so They know the path to the exit. TY, Kris. TY, Dr. Charlie. Thank You, for soothing My battered heart. Closed-minded human beings would scoff & say "Nobody did anything!?" I would emphatically disagree with this assessment. You Did Everything I needed in this single moment... and I Love You for it. You are definitely worthy of the 'Good Human Being' label. God bless xox read more

Dr. Charlie, Melissa, and the La Fin staff were everthing I could have asked for for such a difficult experience, process, and decision. I canceled our first appointment because my pup was showing signs of improvement and they were extremely understanding. A few months later, when the decision became clear, I reached back out and they had kept my information so I didnt have to go through the entire process all over again, and picked up where we had last left off. This is such a difficult decision and having a team that is patient, kind, and dont pressure has been really helpful. Phoebe was handled with care throughout the entire process. Despite it being a heartbreaking experience, I took comfort in feeling safe in our choice to choose La Fin. Thank you. read more

This was by far one of the hardest things my husband and I have had to go through. We made the decision a few days before to let go of our little guy of 15+ years. So we were on the search for a place that just felt right. Dr. Charlie made this awful experience so calm, relaxing and it all just felt right. His presence was so calming and made us feel so at ease. He gave us plenty of time to be with him before and after. We miss our guy so very much but if anyone ever has to go through this I highly recommend doing it at home and going through La Fin. Thank you La Fin for everything that you have done bringing our little guy home to us. read more

Thank you, Dr. Charlie. We are deeply grateful to Dr. Charlie for the kindness and care he showed us while helping our beloved dog, Digna, pass peacefully. From the moment he arrived, he was an absolute gentleman--calm, compassionate, and deeply reassuring during an incredibly difficult time. He took the time to assess Digna with care and sensitivity, and guided us through the decision about timing with honesty and gentleness, never rushing us and never removing our sense of agency. His presence brought clarity and calm to a moment that could easily have felt overwhelming. We could not have asked for a more humane, respectful, and compassionate way to say goodbye. Thank you, Dr. Charlie, for treating Digna--and us--with such dignity. read more

La Fin Veterinary - Always in my heart - Pet Cremation Services Near Me

This is probably too soon, but I'll do anything to distract from the pain I'm feeling at the moment. Our beloved Frannie was 10 years old, an American staffy, and her health fell off a cliff in the last 48 hours. She was diagnosed with things we couldn't fix and the vet allowed us to take her home for one last night. I scrambled to find the right place to help me end her pain. I reached out to over a dozen in home euthanasia places in the OC through yelp. Dr. Charlie's team was the most compassionate, most honest, most flexible people I talked to. I kept changing my mind about when I wanted them to come, I couldn't make a decision until finally, I decided to let her go this morning. The whole time, their team was responsive and understanding via text, gently walking me through every step. You and your beloved pet won't be in better hands than Dr. Charlie's. I always feared the end of my Frannie's life, but I'm so grateful that La Fin veterinary made it such a beautiful, peaceful experience for all of us. We let her move on with so much dignity and peace that the pain of losing her is very much lessened. I won't ever be able to thank you enough, Dr. Charlie. Thank you so, so much. We had enough time to kiss our girl goodbye and tell her how much we loved her. I feel at peace. I'll probably still cry for a long time but I feel lucky that my last memories of her are beautiful ones. Thank you for that gift, Dr. Charlie. read more

Our boy, Palmer, left this world on January 27th, 2026. This was one of the hardest decisions to make but one that was necessary. As every pet owner knows - our obligation is to love them as much in life as possible but to also make sure that when the time comes - they are just as well cared for. The transition. La Fin came on my radar from my sister-in-law. Palmer's health took a turn overnight and it was clear what was necessary. Calls were returned quickly. Text messages were answered quickly. Contact was constant. Dr. Charlie is probably the best thing that could have happened to Palmer in this situation. A great vet (bedside manner) that made what was the worst day of my life - one of the best for our buddy. In his bed, and with us looking on and holding him - the end was peaceful and serene. It's the way we should all go if we're lucky. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Charlie. He's just a good dude. The utmost of professionalism, compassion and respect. I wanted to have a beer with the guy when he was done. It's not cheap. But if your animal has been to you, what ours was to us - it's totally worth it. Your house. Your terms. And the most gentle goodbye for a family member that has given you so much joy. I miss you dude. I'll see you on the other side. Thanks. read more

I'm forever grateful for the care, compassion, and kindness Dr. Charlie and his team showed me and my dog, Dodger at one of the toughest moments any animal lover can face.

His warmth and gentle manner are extremely evident and you know that both you and your pet will be comfortable and well cared for throughout the process. Thank you again for your help! read more

This was my second time with Dr. Charlie. Going through this experience again reminded me this was the best way to cherish my fur baby -- in the comfort of her home, with her favorite blanket while surrounded by loved ones. Just like before, Dr. Charlie was very patient and understanding throughout the experience. He made sure we were all comfortable and shared the process of what's happening. This time around, I had more time to prepare for my senior cat. We got rotisserie chicken and flowers, played calming music, and put together a photo slideshow where we talked about our favorite memories. Ashley loved the chicken, of course. I laid Ashley on her favorite soft blanket by the sun. Dr. Charlie began taking a clay paw print and explained each step. Once she passed, I set flowers around her bed and then put the flowers in vases to create a memorial. Reflecting on this hard decision a few days later, I realize this is the best goodbye we could provide for our cat. She was comfortable and surrounded by love with her favorite people. She was not scared, in pain or struggling, or alone. This was difficult but peaceful in the end. read more

I am so heartbroken, having to put my sweet Bongo down today. Dr.Charlie was so wonderful. He definitely made a hard process a little easier. He was kind and patient and attentive to my sweet boy.

From the quick response for a quote to Dr.Charlie's compassion, they were wonderful throughout the process. Thank You read more

Saying goodbye to our Max was the hardest thing we've ever had to do, but Dr. Charlie and Renee made it so much easier. They were able to accommodate a same-day appointment at 3 pm, which we scheduled at 9 am. However, Max began to decline so quickly. They were able to move our appointment up to 12:30 pm, which was a huge relief. Dr. Charlie was a calming presence, explaining the process in an honest, but supportive, way. We were even able to hear Max bark for the last time (after not having barked in weeks) when Dr. Charlie knocked on the door! Max left us peacefully with no signs of pain or struggle. Dr. Charlie gave us some time alone with him and came back with the basket, which was presented beautifully. He had also taken Max's paw print and fur clippings at no extra cost. We truly cannot thank Dr. Charlie and team more for being the positive in a terrible situation. read more

Calling La Fin Veterinary and Dr. Charlie was probably the best choice we could've made when it came to choosing end-of-life care for our sweet boy Redd. Through the whole process (scheduling, during euthanasia, and after), this team was so helpful, caring, and supportive. My sweet pitbull Redd was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks back, and when we finally made he decision, we reached out to La Fin and were treated so well. This was a hard choice for us, but we were comforted by La Fin. When Dr. Charlie came to our home, he was incredibly kind and patient with us (everyone at the house was a mess, but he was so understanding and let us take our time with each step). Redd loved him right away, it was as though he could tell Dr. Charlie was a good person and someone who was here to help us all. The process was great, we were talking through everything that was happening, and it did not feel rushed (I put my cat down many years ago at a vet's office, and it felt so cold and quick). Being at home allowed Redd and my family to be comfortable and at ease with everything. After everything was done, Dr. Charlie took a paw imprint for us and a clipping of Redd's hair. He gently took him away, and we knew our sweet boy was in good hands from then on out. Dr. Charlie and the staff later followed up with an email and post postcard, expressing their condolences and offering support if we needed it. While this is not a decision anyone wants to make, if you have to, I highly recommend La Fin Veterinary. They will treat you well and will make this hard process easier on you and your family. Thank you again to Dr. Charlie and everyone at La Fin for all you did for me, my family, and our boy Redd. read more

Having Dr. Charlie come to our house for Wags' final day was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I was so wracked with guilt over being indecisive on whether the time was too early or too late to put him to sleep, and Dr. Charlie gave me an explanation that I could intellectually and emotionally understand. He explained to us the process step by step. It was peaceful, calm. Wags was in his own bed, with me sprawled on the floor with him, face to face.

I cannot say enough about Dr. Charlie and his compassionate, caring staff at La Fin. From start to finish of this painful process, they were amazing and made the process so smooth and so easy. My 14 year old pitbull, Deacon, took a liking to Dr. Charlie right away. At that moment, I knew I picked the right guy to help my boy cross the rainbow bridge. Deacon was so comfortable with him and seemed to trust him right away. Dr. Charlie sat with us, counseled us, and reminded me how loved my puppy was. Dr. Charlie was so kind, loving, gentle and respectful when handling my pup before and after the process. As difficult as the situation was, La Fin made the process so smooth so we can focus on just grieving. Thanks for everything La Fin and Dr. Charlie! read more

On such a stressful and heartbreaking day, Dr. Charlie was a near literal ray of sunshine, making the process as positive as it possibly could be. He was available for a late-night visit and kept us up to date as he was traveling to us. When he arrived, his vibe was nothing but calm, comforting, caring, and understanding. He walked us through how the process would proceed and answered all of our questions. He was present and in absolutely no rush. The process itself went smoothly, no doubt due in large part to Dr. Charlie. If you're unfortunately in the situation we found ourselves in with our dog, go with Dr. Charlie. read more

I am so thankful I found Dr. Charlie. He is so kind and the experience was so peaceful for my cat Max. I was really worried because he had many vet visits a few years ago when he was diagnosed with cancer and really would panic anytime I needed to put him in his carrier so being able to do the euthanasia at home was the best solution for us. Dr. Charlie spent almost an hour with us making sure Max was comfortable with him before starting the process so there was no stress about the process. He is a very compassionate person who truly understands how hard the process is and made this experience the best it could be. We are truly grateful for Dr. Charlie and La Fin Veterinary. read more

The decision to send your beloved pet over the rainbow is never easy for all, and we have had to do this many times over our lifetime.

We wanted to have our dog Max pass away at home where he felt most comfortable and was HOME instead of a cold patient office space at the vet. I am so happy we did this and went with La Fin Veterinary. This was a first time for our family and having to loose one of our own whom we love so incredibly much was beyond hard. This is one of the hardest things I have ever experienced. They were incredibly kind, thoughtful, and sympathetic throughout the whole process even from the beginning of me asking questions about the process. Melissa spent a long time on the phone with me answering all of my questions and just being there for me as I was processing having to loose a family member. Once it was time, Dr Charlie came to our home and was incredibly kind, patient, and sympathetic from the beginning. Even in his last moments as hard as it was Max got up with his tail wagging to greet Dr. Charlie as he walked onto our lawn. Dr. Charlie let us take our time with Max and made sure we were ready to say goodbye. And he also let us take our time after Max had passed on. He explained every step and did not proceed until we were ready. They also took care of everything including Dr. Charlie taking Max with him to get cremated; if that is what you choose. Thank you Dr. Charlie for making letting our loved one go a little easier with your love, kindness and compassion. read more

I cannot express enough how truly compassionate and professional the at-home pet euthanasia service was during such a difficult time. From the moment I made the call, Dr. Charles was incredibly understanding and provided immediate comfort. He offered guidance, answered every question, and gave us all the space and time we needed to say goodbye. His team was also exceptional and attentive. Dr. Charles arrived with warmth and empathy, making both our MooMoo and us feel at ease. He took great care to explain the entire process, ensuring we understood each step, while remaining sensitive to our emotions. The process was peaceful, gentle, and dignified--exactly how we wanted our beloved companion to be treated. Being able to have this service at home made an unimaginable experience much easier to bear.

It truly felt like h went above and beyond to ensure we were supported, both emotionally and practically. This service exceeded my expectations in every way, and I'm beyond grateful for their kindness and professionalism during such a heartbreaking moment.

It's been 3 weeks since Dr. Charlie helped us say good-bye to our girl. I knew we had chosen the right people from the moment I spoke with Melissa. She walked me through everything so gently and was so understanding. Dr Charlie was amazing. He was so patient and gentle with our Ginger, who even in pain, had to protect me from "the stranger". He gave her time to get use to him and everything was on our timeline. He gave us plenty of time to say our final good-byes and even taking her away was done with such care and respect. He made letting her go so much easier with his gentleness and caring and just knowing she was in good hands. read more

What can I say about La Fin and Dr. Charlie that hasn't already been expressed here. Our beloved Bean (14 y/o black short hair kitty) was diagnosed with cancer almost a year ago (August, '25) and while her vet (not Dr. Charlie) wanted to "put her down" right then, we declined. She was eating, drinking, sleeping, playing, loving just as she always had and was not in any pain. Bean continued to show us her love as we did her, but on July 31 of '26 we noticed she was inactive and knew the cancer was finally taking its toll. We didn't want the ordeal of going to the vet as she was never fond of that visit so my daughter found Dr. Charlie. He came out, literally on a moments notice, was so kind, gentle, spoke in a calming reassuring voice as he explained everything to us. He allowed us so much time with our girl as we continued to talk to and love her as we always had. Dr. Charlie made this difficult process very loving, and peaceful, understanding just how hard it was for all of us. We feel that Bean's last moments were filled with love, right in the place we all call home. If you're faced with this unfortunate inevitability, Dr. Charlie should be the first person you call. read more

If you are reading this, you are joining all of us grieving parents in one of the hardest decisions you probably wish you didn't have to make. Our fur son, Duce was showing signs of leaving us, but we kept on hoping that everything would be okay until the end. After seeing him suffering day after day (breathing hard, not able to keep his balance and losing weight from not eating), we knew that the time was near. I searched for the best vet with 5-star reviews and started calling to find the best doctor to assist us in our unbearable decision. We spoke to La Fin and the staff were compassionate and went beyond customer service. Their reviews were the number one reason we wanted Dr. Charlie. My husband and I finally made the appointment, even though our hearts were not ready. We were selfish, we wanted Duce to stay with us even though we could see clearly it was not right to let him lose his health and dignity day by day. When Dr. Charlie arrived, he was so kind and patient with us. We were divided on whether to go through with the procedure and could not unanimously agree. Dr. Charlie saw how stressed we were, so instead of rushing us or making us feel like we were wasting his time or even advocating for the procedure, he asked if we would like him to step out so we could talk more. We thought about how Duce loved us so unconditionally and unequivocally, that he kept hanging on, even when he's clearly in pain, he tried to hide it and be the good boy that he is - the strong protector of our family. Dr. Charlie never once used the "D" word or made us feel like we were selfish for putting Duce through pain. Instead, he was compassionate and talked us through the whole process giving us both pros and cons of whether we should move forward or wait for Duce to naturally leave us. Afterall, no one wants to be in this position, and no one wants to see their child or loved ones suffer day after day like this. When we finally decided to move forward, Dr. Charlie walked us through the process and never once rushed us. He gave the first shot and Duce did not even feel it. Then after the 2nd, we told Duce that he was a good boy and did his job well and we love him and it was okay for him to go. When Dr. Charlie said, "Duce received his wings", our hearts were at peace. I imagined Duce flying towards God's loving hands and telling us that he will be there waiting for us with his brothers. As I reflect on our experience, it was super hard and stressful, but Dr. Charlie never made us feel like Duce was just a dog. He treated Duce like his own fur son showing him compassion and love the way we did. For that, words can't express how blessed we are that God sent Dr. Charlie to us. As this experience is still raw, I was moved by a note from Dr. Charlie the next day, letting us know that he and the La Fin family would always be there for us through our time of grieving. Research and shop no more. You have found the right doctor to assist you here with Dr. Charlie. The cost is competitive, and they do not make you feel like they just want your money. Dr. Charlie truly cares about your fur baby. He is a pet parent too and knows exactly what we are going through! If I have to find one thing that I wished they have, it would be to offer a death certificate. I know that it is not a standard ask or practice, but it would have been that "extra something" that would have made La Fin stand out even more. Thank you, Dr. Charlie and your staff (Melissa and Renee), for supporting us emotionally and being part of our family in our time of loss. read more

Back in April, we had to say goodbye to our beloved Troy, who was nearly 13 years old. He had been diagnosed with an aggressive cancer shortly after losing an eye, and although he fought bravely, his health declined very quickly. Our family was heartbroken--we adored our Troy boy, and it was devastating to see him fade so fast. In the midst of that pain, Dr. Charlie from Lafin Veterinary gave us the greatest gift: a peaceful and loving goodbye at home. He was incredibly accommodating, coming to us within a day, without the extra weekend or evening charges that many other vets require. More importantly, he was kind, patient, and compassionate. He sat with our family, explained every step, and gave us the time we needed. The experience was calm, gentle, and dignified--exactly what Troy deserved. Dr. Charlie even spoke with our three daughters, including our youngest (6 years old), helping them understand and process what was happening in a sensitive way. That care meant so much to us. As hard as it was to let Troy go, I couldn't have asked for a more peaceful way to honor him. Dr. Charlie helped make one of the hardest days of our lives just a little bit easier. I am forever grateful and highly recommend him to any family who finds themselves needing this service. Also, I forgot to mention, included our boys, cremation and hand-delivered to our home. I couldn't have asked for anything more. read more
