We took our 8 year old cat in b/c he was not eating like normal. Dr. Elgin told my daughter that…read moreshe thought she saw a polyp in his throat and needed to sedate him to remove it. Sedates him...nothing there. Does X-rays and claims he has asthma. Gives us steroids and says she will call us with a final read the next day. She calls and says it's asthma. Also mentions, casually, that his liver and heart are slightly enlarged. When I questioned this she said it was likely normal aging and not to worry and to bring him in Monday. He seemed better that morning so we trusted that. By that night he was in respiratory distress. We rushed him to the emergency vet. He was in acute heart failure and had to be put down. Based on his tests they said he did not have asthma and the steroids made his heart problem worse, quickly. That woman destroyed us with her negligence. He was only 8! I know ultimately he may have gotten sick, but not like that and not that quick! We could of had more time!

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 don't know how someone can do such a job. This has to be a hard career to be in. It takes a…read morevery compassionate person to be able to help a person through such a difficult time. 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!

**My dog (90lb mix) had TPLO surgery at Rainbow Veterinary Hospital about a month ago**…read more After confirming with my normal vet that my dog had torn his ACL, I was trying to do as much research on the injury as possible. My vet referred me to a different practice, but I noticed all of the super positive TPLO reviews about Dr. Giri and his staff. We are a month past his surgery and my dog is doing great! I could not recommend Dr. Giri more. You can really tell that he cares about your dog and that he wants the dog to get better. If you need anything, he will personally call you back. He always took the time to answer all of my questions and give me guidance for my dog's recovery. Dr. Giri is also very upfront about pricing from the start and the pricing doesn't change, which allowed me to focus on my dog's recovery and not worry about additional bills. Fingers crossed that we will not have to do my dog's other ACL, but I would definitely bring him back to Dr. Giri. I would also recommend him to any family/friends.
