For obvious reasons, if you are reading this, I offer you my sympathy. It is not easy to bid…read morefarewell to a loved one. After 16 years, it was time for us to say goodbye to our beloved Biscuit. He had a malignant tumor and, after trying every available therapy, it was clear that his condition was terminal. We called Lap of Love and they were responsive, kind, understanding and thoughtful. They made the process of saying goodbye about saying goodbye and about doing what was best for our canine friend. Communication was excellent and the hospice veterinarian who came to our home was loving and empathetic. Most importantly, she reinforced that we were doing the right thing at the right time, in Biscuit's best interests. Lap of Love made it possible for us to focus on our dog's happiness and comfort during the final weeks of his life, and for us to focus on our own grief now that he has left us.

We said good-bye to our best boy yesterday. I could not be more grateful for Doctor Jade and her…read moreloving care for him and for us during that time. Our dog was a worrier and did not love going to the vet so the idea that he could have spent his last hours scared or sad would have broken my whole heart. Instead, he was comfy in his bed with a caring provider and his human parents to hold his paws and send him gently over the bridge. It was a Sunday and I said to our Dr. that she had such a weird job but I was so grateful for it - and she replied, "It's my calling." And you can really tell that this is something sacred to them. And my sweet boy deserved nothing less.

I absolutely cannot tell you how thankful I am for Dr. Anika and the team at Lap of Love for giving…read moreour girl a peaceful send off with dignity as she crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Our baby girl who was 12, suffered a terrible aspiration pneumonia and subsequent Megaesophagus a little over a week ago. After 6 nights in the ICU at UF Vet school and us trying everything from oxygen to NG tube with tube feeds to IV fluids & IV antibiotics, our baby couldn't overcome the odds. I contacted Lap of Love this past Wednesday when we decided to withdraw care and take her home for the best few days we could offer her. Every hour we had her home was spent loving her. I had made an appointment for this morning so my husband, myself, & her nanny could be here holding her together. Dr. Anika came to our home & was so kind and gave us time & answering our questions.I set up everything for billing on the first call to them so this morning thankfully was just a signature. We opted for private cremation and they handled the rest. We were allowed to have our sweet girl outside on our back porch with the fan on her just as she loved most. After some pain meds with muscle relaxer & sedative, she made us a beautiful paw cast that she left us. Our baby girl felt no pain and was so peaceful. The heartbreak of losing a fur baby is so incredibly hard but knowing this company exists to do it peacefully in our home, surrounded by our pack, gave us peace. We are so grateful for what the staff and doctors do for those who have chosen to let their fur babies go with dignity and in their own environment. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts to everyone whom we interacted with for calls and at home.

For the past 9.5 years, my sweet girl Brooklyn has been a patient at McAbee Veterinary Hospital,…read moreand I can honestly say they have always treated her with kindness, patience, and genuine care. Over the years, we've seen quite a bit of staff turnover, but one thing has remained consistent: everyone has been incredibly warm, gentle, and loving with my fur baby. As a pet parent, there's nothing more reassuring than knowing your dog is being cared for by people who truly love animals. My only real disappointment is that they no longer offer grooming services. Being able to drop Brooklyn off for a little doggy spa day while taking care of her veterinary needs was such a convenience, and we definitely miss that! The other challenge is the cost. Veterinary care isn't cheap, and visits can certainly add up. That said, I've always felt that the staff genuinely wants what's best for Brooklyn and has provided her with compassionate care throughout the years. Thank you, McAbee, for helping keep Brooklyn healthy and happy for nearly a decade. We appreciate all the love, belly rubs, and care you've given our girl over the years!

They are very thorough with explaining any of my dog's health issues. They are patient when asked questions and show compassion as well. The main pro that I have experienced is that they don't try to hard sell you on any treatment or services. They are good about laying out my options and allowing me to make a choice on how to proceed. I don't foresee taking my dog anywhere else anytime soon.
