We needed help with daily medication pilling, administering subcutaneous fluids, and general grooming tasks for our elderly cat of 20 years. I was out of town for a week so we were quite concerned that these tasks, normally a two person job would be completed with minimal stress to both our cat Binky and my wife. We found Pet Pal LA to the rescue to help with these tasks. Lory and Yesenia exceeding all of our expectations. They were very professional, showed up on time, reliable, and able to work around our busy schedule. Communication was excellent with follow up and stayed in contact with text messages. My wife got advanced text messages so we could get our cat ready for the in home visit. Lory and Yesenia were very gentle and kept our kitty comfortable while all of the procedures were completed. There were some last minute add-ons of mat shaving, nail trims, and ear cleaning that was easily accommodated. Both were knowledgeable about pet care and gave recommendations about nutrition, handling feisty pets, and suppliers for specialized pet products. I have a few more trips in the near future so both my wife and I will be at ease knowing that we can rely Pet Pals LA to assist with caring for our elderly cat.

I cannot rave enough about the care our 11-month-old boy cats received at home from Lory! They are rescues who needed multiple medications at once and were highly resistant to us because we had just adopted them. We were bitten and scratched over several days before we realized that if we didn't get help, our boys would not get over their infections. Lory managed the challenge very successfully, and she even gave us great advice about feeding them and cleaning our living space to help eliminate a parasite for which the boys were being treated. We subsequently hired her team for wellness checks and will continue to consult with Lory about their care, even while we have a great vet. Brava, Pet PAL LA!!

Lory was a Godsend recently as she helped me navigate life with my sweet aging kitty cat who had somehow gotten 3 very serious diseases in his old age and required lots of care and attention. I was doing my best but just couldn't keep up and figure out a lot of it and that's when I remembered I had met Lory at my vet's office a few years back and kept her card. So I called her to help out with my furry baby and she was at my home teaching me how to care for his diabetes and kidney failure and how to keep him comfortable and as happy as he could be under his circumstances. I do believe she helped extend his life, and even better, helped his last few months not suck as much as they would have had I not had her expertise to guide me. She was always on time, never rushed my cat's care, she stayed in good communication and made sure she explained everything she was doing for my cat so I would hopefully be able to one day NOT need her services (but I still did because I wanted to make sure my cat had the best care and I wasn't confident I could do it alone). She would also sit with me when I had to call the veterinarian after I'd leave his office and was still confused about how to follow all of the various instructions. Lory would always make sure the doctor's orders were honored and that her care complimented and supported them. I was grateful to have her because I constantly needed her to translate their medical jargon into English lol. Basically, her help was invaluable to us. She is professional, considerate, flexible, and clearly a good person with a good heart who just wants to help animals and their humans through the toughest of times - and that's exactly what she did. My little sweet furry guy eventually succumbed to his illnesses, but if I still had a pet who needed care, she would be the first person I'd call after my veterinarian for support.

Socks & Lory early 2019.

On December 1, 2025, my pup looked at me, and I knew it was time. Our family had called upon Dr…read more Gonzalez before, so there was no question in my mind who to call again. Unlike our previous experience where we were able to book ahead of time and plan for our pup's passing, this was a circumstance where our baby needed immediate services -- his body was failing. Once I saw our senior 13-yr old pup was telling me it was okay, I called Dr. Gonzalez at 7pm. She was at our home by 10pm. Our pup had been sick for several years, and in that last week, our primary vet had already told us his health was declining, so we at least knew the end was near. And I had already mentally prepared to be strong and let him go when he needed to -- so I had Dr. Gonzalez's number on hand. We live in an apartment building, so we reserved a spot for her in our lot as close as possible to an exit. She came upstairs to our home, and she had brought all her equipment. I had already imagined how I wanted this experience to go for my once in a lifetime soul pup. I sat on his favorite place on the sofa, and I had him in my lap. Dr. Gonzalez gave me a pee pad to wrap around him within the blanket understanding there could be an accident in the process as his body released his spirit. I had a candle lit. I had soft music playing. We had low lighting on to honor what was about to happen. Dr. Gonzalez was also super accommodating to our 2nd puppy who was curious about her and wondering what was happening to his big brother. She didn't shoo him away -- she invited us to keep the puppy around so he can know his big brother was about to pass on. She gave us time to speak to Nuxx, love on him, and then let him go. Then, it finally happened. And Dr. Gonzalez stepped out of our apartment for awhile, giving our little family time to grieve, sob, and hold our baby close. Our puppy sniffed him too and said his goodbyes. Then she came back, and she asked us if we wanted to be the ones to carry him out or she was happy to do so. My husband carried him, myself and our puppy followed along -- felt like a procession down our apartment hallway. We got to Dr. Gonzalez's car, and we gently placed our baby's body in her car, and said our goodbyes again. Then...it was done. Throughout the experience, Dr. Gonzalez was so incredibly supportive, gentle, understanding, and patient. What else can you ask for when such a heartbreaking thing is occurring? When a spirit is literally fading in your arms? I am still not over losing him, but at least I know we gave him the most peaceful send-off we could: in his own home, in our arms, surrounded by so much love. If / when we need to go through again, I will continue to call on Dr. Gonzalez. RIP Nuxx.

We are grateful to Dr. Gonzales at Gemcore for helping us through one of the most difficult moments…read morewe have ever experienced. Dr. Gonzales was professional, compassionate, and helpful. She took the time to explain the euthanasia process clearly and gently, answered all of our questions, and helped us understand what to expect. Having someone so patient and caring with us during such an emotional time meant a great deal.

HONOR PET helped make a hateful day bearable. My 16-year-old Shiba, Monju, was at the end of her…read morelife after a rapid decline. I didn't want her to suffer, and though she wasn't in distress, I could tell she was laboring to stay alive. Having never faced this before, I was lost. Most vet sites didn't list end-of-life care, 24/7 emergency clinics had awful reviews, and house-call vets were booked a week out. Finding HONOR PET was a godsend. Their website guides you step-by-step through end-of-life options, costs, and exactly what happens during the final moments so you can prepare yourself as best you can. You have two options: you can choose to have the procedure done at HONOR PET's Comfort Center or you can schedule an in-home option where the vet will come to your house. There's one more option: if your fur baby died and you don't need euthanasia services you can use HONOR PET for the Water Cremation option. Parking is available, but it's a little confusing to get to because there aren't any signs that indicate where it is. There's a map on the website, so as you turn into the driveway, any empty space against the building is available to park in. Don't park in any space that has a sign saying "reserved for" and don't pull into that little area that is set apart by a fence. You can read about my experience or you can stop here. All the pertinent info is listed above. I chose their DTLA center, where they take you straight to a private, home-like room with couches, pillows, desk, all the things you'd find in a house. This way your pet isn't stressed out by being in a sterile and unwelcoming environment in a vet's waiting area, surrounded by other animals. The room had a home vibe (pictures of the rooms are on their website) and felt welcoming and --strangely enough-- cheerful. I took Monju out of her travel crate and sat on the couch holding her on my lap, while scratching her head and neck, and talking to her. She laid there resting, opening her eyes to look around every now and again. The vet came in, I think her name was Dr. Claire, but I wasn't focused mentally that day to remember, but she was great. She had a calm demeanor, showed compassion and empathy, and made the dire circumstance seem not as dark, at the same time never downplaying the seriousness of why we were there. She went over the procedures step-by-step and explained other things that might happen to prepare me and to make sure if I had any concerns or questions I could raise them. Dr. Claire (I hope that's her name) gave Monju the sedative in an injection. Almost immediately after the sedative was in her system, I felt the tension leave her body as she relaxed, drifting into a deep sleep. She even started snoring. After about 10 or 20 minutes, maybe sooner, making sure that Monju was in that deep relaxed state, the Dr. started an IV that delivered the cocktail, taking her to the other side. She passed away quietly and peacefully in my arms without gasping or convulsing. In fact, I didn't even realize that she passed until the Dr. checked her heart and confirmed it. Dr. Claire was incredibly compassionate and told me that she needed to put Monju in a blanket and arrange her body before rigor mortis sets in. She added that Monju will be handed back to me and I could stay up to an hour to continue saying goodbye. But I didn't want to stay since Monju's soul/spirit was gone. Honor Pet was doing the cremation and after you have said your final goodbye, the Dr. takes him/her and that's when they prepare for the cremation. You don't get the remains back the same day, it takes about a week or so, if you choose the option that has the ashes come back to you. The other option is to have their remains cremated and the ashes will be added to other pets and then scattered or buried. I read on the site that if you have a different idea of cremation or how you want to handle the body, you have the choice of taking your furry child somewhere else. BTW, Honor Pet only offers the Water Cremation as an option for cremation. When I was handing my baby over for the last time it broke my heart and I almost lost it. In that split second, I felt the overpowering need to let out a primal scream and break into that ugly cry. Somehow, I didn't and as fast as that feeling hit me it was gone. I kissed Monju on the snout and handed her over to Dr. Claire, who lovingly wrapped her up in a blanket and took her body away. On my way out the staff continued to offer their condolences, and I left with a mixture of sadness and relief knowing that Monju was peacefully at rest. I'm not sure what I would've done without the support and compassionate care that I got from Dr. Claire and the wonderful staff at HONOR PET. Thank goodness a place like this exists.

A Peaceful Goodbye for My Sweet Bear…read more There are truly no words to fully express how grateful I am for the care and compassion my family and I received from Honor Pet Comfort Center during one of the most difficult days of my life. I brought my sweet Bear in after 12 beautiful years together, knowing that it was time to help him peacefully transition after his health had declined. From the moment we arrived, everyone was incredibly kind, gentle and nurturing. They understood the weight of what I was walking into and treated both Bear and me with so much tenderness. Dr. Wammock was absolutely incredible. From the moment she entered our private room, there was something so calming about her presence. She spoke softly, explained what was happening, and handled Bear with such gentleness and dignity. Every single thing she did felt intentional and compassionate. When she administered his sedative, she was incredibly tender with him, knowing how much discomfort and distress he had already experienced. She then gave us uninterrupted time to hold him, cuddle him, love on him and say our goodbyes before the final injection. When that moment came, she was just as careful. She even covered Bear so that our final memory of him would not be watching him receive a needle. That small gesture meant more to me than I can adequately put into words. Dr. Scott was also phenomenal and showed our family so much compassion throughout the experience. I will forever be grateful to both of them for the dignity, patience and love they showed Bear in his final moments. Of course, saying goodbye to him was heartbreaking. But somehow, in the middle of all that sadness, Honor Pet created an experience that was also incredibly peaceful and filled with love. I walked away devastated that my baby was gone, but also calm and reassured that I had made the right decision for him and chosen the right people to help me through it. Bear was loved beyond words, and knowing that he was treated with that same level of tenderness at the very end means everything to me. He is now in their care while I wait for his ashes to come home, and I feel completely at peace knowing that he is in good hands. Thank you to Dr. Wammock, Dr. Scott, and the entire Honor Pet team for giving my Bear the gentle, dignified goodbye he deserved. During one of the darkest moments of my life, you gave my family comfort, peace and even moments of joy as we celebrated the beautiful 12 years we were blessed to have with him. I will never forget the way you cared for my baby.

It's taken some time for me to get around to writing this. I hope the day never comes when you need…read moreend-of-life care for your dog. I hope that you are reading reviews of IVS Mobile Vets for any reason other than why I sought their services. But if that time has come, when your beloved pet can no longer continue pain-free and without complications, you are told you have options. Someone told me to "drop him off at a shelter" and "start the grieving process". Others said to take him to a vet and have him euthanized at the clinic. Cost being a factor, I was mortified at the prospect of having to consider either of the above options. Abandoning a family member to die alone and wonder why? Who can do that? I came very close to having to consider that option; that is until I found IVS Mobile Vets. Encouraged by glowing reviews, I called to inquire about end-of-life care services and pricing. Dr. Moore answered my call, and even before we could get to details, she solemnly and compassionately listened to me go on and on about my little Donnie, and validated my immense grief over what was to come. Moreover, despite prices for everything everywhere being at an all-time high, Dr. Moore quoted me at-home euthanasia and private cremation for almost $200 LESS than the next lowest quote that I obtained... and I had called over a dozen vets and organizations. Donnie went to sleep on February 15, at about 1pm. In the comfort and safety of his own home, while lying in the bed that we shared for over 13 years, he drifted peacefully, and I held him until his frail little body started to cool, I don't know if it was a 1/2 hour or 1/2 a day, but Dr. Moore left us alone and gave me the time I needed for closure. Dr. Moore was gentle, patient, and truly compassionate. Despite it being the most heartbreaking day of my life, the occasion was peaceful and life-affirming, and I will mourn and cherish that memory for the rest of whatever's left of my own life. Every corner of my home is a mine field of Donnie memories, and I can't envision a day when I could come home and not long to see his little face in the upstairs window, waiting for me to open the door. But, I am forever comforted to know that I did right by my little guy, loving and caressing him to the very end. Donnie's ashes were delivered to me in person about a week later, with a heartfelt card, dignified packaging, and supplemental literature on grieving. Thank you, Dr. Moore, for your kindness, compassion and integrity. Truly an angel of mercy.

We had gone through the at home euthanasia process before but that never makes it any easier. Dr. Moore gave us realistic but gentle and careful guidance during my pup's last days. She was very accommodating and extremely respectful and culturally understanding of all our household attending the process and mourning. Literally could not have found the most timely yet kind vet for this difficult process. From the beginning to the end, and even to the delivery of ashes right before the holidays, we are so grateful for Dr. Moore and genuinely recommend her for not just this difficult process, but general pet needs as well.
