I thought I should tell our story that is detailed and honest for both Chris and the consumers seeking a wonderful vet in Bozeman. Should anyone have any questions about the authenticity of this review, please contact me (Michael) at 406-600-6420. I will be happy to discuss our one and only positive experience with Peaceful Journey.
Our dog was 15.5 years old and our vet was no longer able to provide the proper advice for the hospice care he required. My colleague recommended Peaceful Journey (Chris) as the next level of care, and I cannot say enough great things about her personally and professionally.
Chris was able to schedule an appointment within three business days to visit our house and educate us on the limitations and hospice care that was necessary for our dog. She was professional, punctual, and knowledgeable. Chris spent over 90 minutes with us at the first visit, and answered all of our questions with impressive detail. Her initial charge for the house call was ridiculously cheap considering she came to our living room!
Her expertise about the breed of our dog was very impressive, and her advice for future treatment was explicit. She left detailed notes on how best to care for him, and recommended the minimal amount of medication necessary to make certain he was comfortable while maintaining a high quality of life.
My other half had the dog for ten years before we were together. However, for the last five and a half years of his life, I took care of him just like he was mine. Chris understood that my other half originally had him for ten years, and was extremely respectful of the fact that we both loved and treated the dog with extreme care. She understood we were making decisions together, but the dog belonged to my other half long before I was around, and she was sensitive and respectful for our unique scenario.
Furthermore, Chris understood that we would need time to discuss decisions that involved his quality of life, medications, and exercise routines. Chris gave us space to discuss decisions, she provided advice and input when necessary, and ultimately let us make the final decisions that were best for our dog. During his course of treatment, she also wasn't sure about one issue he might have with a medication. She reached out to a colleague in Wyoming or Colorado to confirm the proper course of treatment, and provided us with research to make informed decisions.
Well after our first appointment, we had to put him down on a Saturday afternoon. Chris answered my phone call at 10pm on the Friday night before, she arrived punctually Saturday, and answered all of our questions with extreme thought and detail. She was respectful and professional given the terrible circumstances and peacefully put him to sleep. She also took him to be cremated and returned his ashes in a timely manner.
I cannot say enough great things about Chris as a vet in Bozeman. We have also referred friends and family members to Chris at Peaceful Journey over the last several months, and they have had nothing but a positive experience with Chris!
