They sent Kiwi to a landfill…read more In July 2022, I made two payments to River Valley Veterinary Hospital. The first payment was for the euthanization of Kiwi Rose, and the second was for Kiwi to have a pawprint impression made, be cremated, and for her cremains to be returned to us. The cremation was to be performed by Patrick Vereb, owner of Eternity Pet Memorial, as recommended and arranged by River Valley Veterinary Hospital. Vereb sent Kiwi to a land fill, and we received unknown ashes in a ziplock bag from River Valley Veterinary Hospital. The Pennsylvania Attorney General has filed charges against Vereb. He also notified the affected veterinary practices, including River Valley Veterinary Hospital, of what had happened. But no one notified us. I got the news on the radio while driving to work weeks after the Attorney General had told them. They knew they had sent Kiwi to him. I am deeply disturbed by the disrespect Kiwi Rose suffered through this veterinary practice. I will not speculate on their involvement in or knowledge of the cremation fraud as it happened, but they were absolutely aware after the Attorney General contacted them that we had been victimized and they did not say a word to us. What if we had never heard it on the news? Why did we have to stumble upon it ourselves, when they knew they had led us there? It pains me so much to know Kiwi is in a landfill right now. I do not trust people who would act this way with my pet's care. I have found another vet for my other pets and I will not bring another animal back here. https://www.attorneygeneral.gov/taking-action/ag-sunday-charges-pittsburgh-based-funeral-home-owner-with-deceiving-6500-pet-owners-who-paid-for-burial-services-but-received-ashes-from-other-animals/

I want to say 'thank you' on behalf of my better half. My better half had to make the very difficult decision for his best pal of fifteen years. Knowing what the impending endgame was going to be he did his research. His best pal had been with him through so many different changes that he wanted to make sure that he was comfortable in a familiar place. That's where Aspen and Lap of Love come in. Knowing that the rainbow bridge is approaching for a beloved pet is hard on not only the pet owner, but the pet itself. Lap of Love makes it easy on you to be able to do this in your own home. Aspen was so kind and comforting throughout the whole procedure. She had the most soft spoken voice that put you at ease at such a difficult time. The service is provided completely in home, they come to you. They allow you to grieve in the privacy of your home and move at a pace you are comfortable with. They offer a paw print mold as a keepsake of your pal and even have where they with clip a lock of fur if you like. All said and done, it's one of the easiest, hard moments of your life. If that makes sense.

Lap of Love is a network of veterinarians around the country whose goal is to empower every owner…read moreto care for their geriatric pets in their homes. Their philosophy centers around the human-animal bond and the need for that bond to be as undisturbed as possible during the most difficult time of a pet's life. Lap of Love has some of the most compassionate and empathetic vets working with them. They offer veternanian, hospice, and end of life services for your senior citizens. All appointments take place in the patient's home. Dr. Aspen Perretta, DVM, services Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas (Allegheny County and parts of Westmoreland, Indiana, Armstrong, Butler, Beaver, Washington, and Fayette Counties). After researching many alternatives, evaluating and reevaluating our pup's quality of life, tossing and turning, and talking it over my family elected to do the in-house end of life service. The stress of moving our elderly dog and his anxiety at the vet would be too much for any of us to bear. We didn't want him to suffer and wanted him to be surrounded by family in his home. As Dr. Aspen informed us he went peacefully in his sleep. Dr. Aspen really is an angel and a spirit of calm. This is the absolute hardest and gut-wrenching experience any pet owner can go through and she really used her gentle nature to soothe everyone in the house. It was obviously a tear-filled event, but her professionalism and compassion never faltered. This must be an extremely hard job, but she does it with grace. We elected to bury our precious pup in our yard and she volunteered her gurney. Dr. Aspen is so thoughtful and loving with your family you will not regret hiring her. Whether it be for vet, hospice, or end of life services your fur baby will be in good hands. These words are all I can offer to express my gratitude to her and I still feel like it's not enough; she's as perfect as a human can be. Thank you for the paw print and lock of fur!

It was incredibly easy to get an appointment. It was evident from our first meeting that Dr. Heller is incredibly knowledgeable about ferrets. Her assistants seems to mostly all have ferrets, and it is very helpful to hear about their different experiences with various medications or treatments we consider. She is also willing to and able to handle our boy for glucose testing, which has been impossible or extremely tricky at our previous vet. Borderbrook is also reasonably priced compared to other ferret vets and has evening hours, which is excellent for working individuals. We have only been here three times so far, but we will more than likely be lifetime patients as long as we have ferrets and stay in the area. It is worth the extra 30 minute drive for us!

At that time the assured me that they would come for the scheduled days and send me pictures or updates regarding my cats. When I left home on Friday I left out 2 bowls of water and 4 dishes of food. Every day that I was away I received pictures and/or updates about my cats via text message. When I arrived home Monday evening (July 12th), both bowls of water only had water covering the bottom and the food was only covering the bottom of ALL 4 food dishes. I have left my cats alone for 2 days in the past, with no one coming into the home to check on them, with the same set up of food and water(2 water bowls and 4 dishes of food). After 2 days of the cats being alone in the past, all of the bowls would still be about 80% full when I returned home. That was not the case when I returned after 4 days away with people supposedly caring for my pets. There is no way that they were filling their food and water daily, like I had contacted for them to do. I was very disappointed, but decided to just pay my bill and move on. I recently requested my keys back and they informed me they would be sent back via certified mail and there was a $20 charge to mail them per our contract. The same contract that stated the cats would be cared for daily. Their audacity in asking for $20 to get my keys back is what prompted me to leave this rating. I normally do not write reviews, but I wanted to warn others who care for their pets as much as I do, to BEWARE OF THIS SERVICE.
