    This is an amazing service. The communication and understanding was outstanding. Dr. Emily was so sweet and gentle with both us humans and my pup. Peaceful Endings goes out of their way to make such a heart breaking experience as peaceful and untaxing as possible. We joke now that we hope when our time is up, it is done with as much care as our pup experienced. Thank you to Peaceful Endings and Dr. Emily.

    My old lady Kimber Anne

    I was in a panic trying to find someone to put my sweet girl down. She had taken such a bad turn for the worse, and I couldn't even imagine taking her into the vet to be put down. She came to my house at like 8:15 in the evening when I had called that morning stressing out , and was so kind and caring to my old lady and to my boyfriend and I. I would highly recommend them as a company and Dr. Jen to anyone. I'm forever grateful for her and peaceful endings.

    My handsome boy

    Dr. Emily & everyone involved with my dog Axel's care was more than kind & so phenomenal. Let me tell you, it was one painful phone call. Our situation was very sudden and I'm not normally the one to make important phone calls. But the call I received back was filled with genuine empathy, the care my dog recived was so gentle, and even though Dr. Emily rushed to his aid- she assured us this was in our control, and we could take as much time to say goodbyes before he crosses the rainbow road. All questions we're answered with understading & patience. They even reached out a week after with a very sweet message. I couldn't of asked for better care for my furbaby.

    Dr. Wahlund and her tech, Roxanne are the most empathetic, kind yet professional team I have ever known. We have had several dogs put down at home in the past. They have all been peaceful yet solemn moments. This was the first time I called Peaceful Endings as our vet was preparing to leave town that very day Max became extremely ill. Dr. Wahlund came to our home 2 weeks ago during tornado watches and warnings. There are no words to describe how thankful we are to have had her professional demeanor and sincere heart to help us. We appreciate all she did to help ease our pain and sorrow. Thank you so much Doctor and Roxanne.

    I could not have had a better goodbye for my sweet Theo. Dr. Hilary was so kind, compassionate and patient with the entire process. She knew my kitty was uncomfortable from our conversation and observation and was able to begin with some pain meds to just get him comfortable for a while before the process started. Her energy alone comforted me as well. Lastly, I was so grateful that Roxanne who received my inquiry was able to get my cat's in-home euthanasia scheduled the same day since it was a bit urgent. I cannot recommend Peaceful Endings enough!

    When we reached the painful decision to put our 14 year old pug Millie down, we could not have imagined as serene an ending as Dr. Emily was able to provide. On the dog side of things, Millie didn't have to endure an unnerving visit to the vet and sit on a metal table while leaving her corporeal form. On our human side of things, we could grieve our loss comfortably in our own home- sobbing isn't fun anywhere and even less so in a waiting room where a 7 year old has brought their gerbil for vet treatment. The process was as good as could be imagined given the circumstances. We would highly recommend.

    Nova (2010-2023)

    I'm very grateful for support that we received in the last moments on my baby boy Nova's life. It was a blessing that our paths crossed with Peaceful Endings and Doctor Kari Trotsky. Dr. Kari treated my Nova with love and dignity and he reciprocated her presence with the immediate acceptance, which gave me some peace in this difficult circumstance. Although, my dear Nova did not want to leave me, he knew that he was in good hands, surrounded by love and comfort. Also, I was very impressed with the scheduling. Roxanne did an amazing job rescheduling the appointment to expedite the process due to Nova's deteriorating condition. Roxanne was very accommodating and worked late at night to ensure that Nova is not suffering anymore and that everything is properly planned for Dr. Kari's next day visit. Thank you, Dr. Kari Trotsky and Roxanne for the outstanding service that you provide. I highly recommend Peaceful Endings and providing our loved pets dignifying and respectful end of their lives at home surrounding.

    Missy in better times.

    VCA Aurora Animal Hospital, Fantastic, Helpful and Extremely Caring Staff all around! From the…read morefront desks, to the techs, to the Doctors/Surgeons, etc. very knowledgeable and they all wear their hearts on their sleeves. Recently our boy Finn dislocated his hip and needed surgery to fix it. We called every VCA around and everyone was booked, it was also a Saturday so that was understandable. Aurora was the last VCA on our list because it's an hour and a half southeast of our home. So we called to see if we could get him in, we were told yes but it was a 2-3 hour wait because they were packed as well. We waited because our Finn is worth the wait. Finn got in to see a doctor, they ran all of their tests/X-rays and kept us informed every step of the way. We eventually got into a room and were given the results along with all the options and costs, they were very professional and informative. We decided to wait until Monday to make an appointment for surgery, otherwise we would have had to pay the "weekend fees/rates. We called Monday to schedule an appointment for surgery. Surgery was scheduled for Tuesday. Tuesday morning we dropped off Finn and his food; we were told they would call us before and after surgery and again before bedtime, and they did. We arrived Wednesday afternoon to pick Finn up and we were given all of his paperwork and meds, then we instructed on what to look out for during the healing process and how to use his meds and to call if we needed anything and to schedule an appointment with our VCA for a follow up. From beginning to end Aurora Animal Hospital crushed it!, Knocked it out of the park!, and exceeded our expectations!!!! Great Job Aurora VCA Staff and Thank You!! Finn is doing great and on his way to being our energetic, happy boy again!! We Love VCA!!!!!!!!

The receptionists, vet techs, doctors--all wonderful--professional, warm, welcoming--and all took the time to carefully explain every part of the process, from the first appointment, diagnosis, surgery, recovery, financing, etc. Dr. Peacock is everything you'd want your vet (or your own doctor) to be. He is a highly experienced surgeon--and doctors at that level often lack the "bedside manner" so crucial to clear communication and a healthy doctor/patient/patient's family relationship. Dr. Peacock dispelled all those concerns the moment he walked in the room. He is warm and down to earth. He was so helpful--examining our dog, explaining the issue and appropriate procedure--and answering all of our questions (some of which we likely asked more than once) with patience, kindness, and candor. I can't express enough how positive the entire experience was. Every single person made us feel comfortable, confident in our dog's care, and welcome. And our dog is good as new (so to speak!) Thank you, everyone at Aurora!

    I have been taking my dog Bubba here since he was very young. The staff is amazing and pricing on…read moreeverything is reasonable. My dog unfortunately passed away at 11 years old. He had Lyme disease antibodies in his bloodstream, so started antibiotics as a standard treatment. Unfortunately, he threw up the antibiotics and didn't eat well another day until his passing. I brought him in numerous times for different tests and we couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. He ended up developing diabetes that he didn't have from the previous bloodwork one week earlier. I feel like the doctors did everything they could to try and help him but unfortunately he just got too sick. We did give him the antibiotic shot since he threw up the antibiotics, but unfortunately that didn't help. I feel like the doctors did a good job explaining everything and all of my options and I feel like the pricing was reasonable and they certainly were not trying to take advantage of my situation. He lived his last few days with me and I was able to take him on a bike ride on his last day by pulling him in a dog trailer. He had his head up and loved it. He got so sick he couldn't walk anymore so it was late at night and I had to take him to the emergency room at the VCA to have him put to sleep. It has been a very difficult time without him. I loved him very much. When I'm ready, I will get another dog and I'm sure I will be bringing the new dog here for treatment if I'm still living in the area. Thank you for all your hard work.

    Excuse the tears I keep dropping on my phone as I type this...in short, I highly highly, I…read moreundoubtedly support and recommend Fox Valley Vet Clinic. I've had my cat for about 16 years and yesterday she passed away after 18+ years of a charmed life. For the last five years she's been seeing Dr. Brooks and if there was a way to give him and the facility 10 stars out of five I would emphatically do that. I've treated my cat as if she were my own daughter and consequently researched and second-guessed every medical provider I've taken her to. What I've come to respect about Dr. Brooks and his staff are that they know themselves and know their capabilities and have no qualms about recommending more specialized level of services. Everyone at the clinic always treated my gal as well, or better than what I could ask or hope for. This last week her age really caught up to her so yesterday we decided to make the hardest decision for her. Hours and hours before the appointment Emily called to go over what would happen at the appointment and we discussed our options after the procedure was done. I'm not a religious person but I think , the powers that be gave us Emily to help us through such a horrible day. At the appointment, Dr. Brooks calmly and thoroughly explained what would happen, what we might see or experience and ensured we were fully prepared. He left us with zero questions, but more importantly, zero worries. These people and this facility emphatically care for, and love our family members the same way that we do.

My current dog, who is 11 years old, has had many serious health issues. I took him for an emergency room visit on the 4th of July and was told to follow up with my primary vet on Monday. The current receptionist is rude and has no empathy for my dog, who is in a lot of pain. I can not get an appointment for 10 days from now because one of the doctors is on vacation. She would not even add me to a wait list in case someone cancels. Thank goodness I found a new vet who will see him tomorrow. I have always highly recommended them to neighbors and friends. Very sad to have to switch vets this late in my dog's life because of the lack of compassion and caring from them.
