I have never visited such a wonderful love filled animal place to allow you to help your furry children to cross peacefully over the bridge. Dr Paula was beyond calm, kind, patient and loving.

Earlier this year, I discovered Cholla while attending Woofstock. I visited their booth and spoke…read morewith some wonderful people about aquamation, a process I had never heard of before. Although I took their information, I didn't think much about it until my 10-year-old Mastiff, Hagrid, was diagnosed with cancer a couple of weeks ago. When we initially planned to have him put down, I intended to go with the traditional cremation option. However, I remembered Cholla and decided to cancel the cremation to give them a call. I can honestly say I am so grateful I found out about them. They were fantastic and offered the option of a sprinkling ceremony, which allowed us to place flowers and herbs on Hagrid before he began his journey. It was a beautiful experience that meant so much to my family and me. Additionally, Cholla collaborates with a shelter for older animals. When I dropped Hagrid off, I was able to donate some of his items, knowing they would go to a good cause. I miss my old man dearly, but I cannot express enough how thankful I am for Cholla Afterlife.

He was the sweetest cat, much like a dog and was misdiagnosed terribly by another vet! We were devastated and traumatized. Peaceful Pet was so caring and empathetic. Calling Peaceful Pet, was not only reassuring, but they are true animal lovers and respect your furbabies. Dr. Hinsch and Michelle handled everything with kindness, patience, and respect, creating a peaceful and comforting experience for Tiger and my partner and me. Their presence was calm and reassuring, allowing us to say our goodbyes without feeling rushed. We are deeply grateful for their support during such a difficult time and highly recommend them to anyone facing this heartbreaking decision.

Right after the Thanksgiving holiday, our little female cat, 18-yrs-old, who had been battling…read morekidney disease for several years, began to suddenly seriously decline. We knew that death was close, but my daughter and I couldn't possibly cope with waiting even one more day and risk finding her dead, hidden away somewhere. Since my daughter was emotionally overwrought and unable to make any kind of decision, I did what mothers always do: I took charge. Since we had been to this emergency vet before, and they are open 24 hours a day (thank heavens!), I left my daughter at home and drove our poor failing kitty down to them for euthanasia. From the moment I walked in the door, the wonderful staff took charge immediately and were extremely compassionate and kind to me. After ushering kitty and me to their private 'family bereavement' room, they walked me through all the options available for when a beloved pet is being put to sleep, and they were very sensitive to my feelings...and my sobbing so hard, I could barely speak. Their kindness made this whole necessary event much more bearable for me. After it was mercifully over, I was able to go back home and give my daughter a good report and assure her that our much-loved kitty was treated very kindly at the end and didn't suffer one bit. I highly, highly recommend Southern Az. Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Center for their skilled professionalism and compassion, AND especially for being available 24 hours a day, even on a Sunday! Thank you so much!

Front desk guy named Eric tried to turn me away without even listening to my concerns, telling me…read moremy dog dosent look "critical". After trying to explain why I was there with him ignoring me, the other lady on the internal side over minded him and tried to help me. Once they took my dog back and told me her vitals were stable, they charged me $175, I was asked if i wanted to go another vet because it would be hours here, they didn't even want to help me besides telling me her vitals were stable. I'm beyond disappointed in how I was treated and the dismissiveness of what my dog had going on. I had another one of my dogs euthanized here a few years back.......I thought it was a good place. My experience with that lazy front desk man at the emergency client check in has changed my perception entirely of this place along with feeling like i was being pushed out the entire time. I will never recommended this place to anyone, actually the opposite I'll make sure to name it as a place no one should go to for any veterinary services. I had to take my dog to another place immediately after coming here.
