It was so hard to do but having it done in the comfort of our home where Mandi lived her whole life was so much more comforting to her and us.

On March 13, 2020, I left work and headed home with a backpack stuffed with my laptop and plenty of…read moresupplies. An educated friend had already informed me that the quarantine could be months. My biggest worry was immediately for my cats. My oldest was to celebrate his 17th birthday in April and despite a positive checkup in January which showed lowered kidney values, in my heart, I knew his remaining time with me would be measured in months not years. "Some cats with do really well with kidney disease--I mean years!" that vet optimistically exclaimed. But it had already been over 2 years since he was diagnosed in the fall of 2017. I had made the decision on home euthanasia back then. Although a very outgoing cat, even in his senior years, Bailey was petrified of the carrier and the car. My vet offered that service but would they now? No. I was sick with worry; what if that time came while everything was shut down? Vets were an essential service but I was reading stories of people needing to drop pets off at veterinary doors and I was horrified. All pets give more love than they ever ask for, but Bailey was really special in that regard. This cat lived to be loved and give love. He'd come when called and never could he be satisfied enough to pass up a lap or a chance to cuddle. If I were in a reclined position, he'd lay on my chest and lick my nose. He always knew when I was having a bad day and would be there comforting me. There was no way, NO way, that I was not going to be there for him when he needed me most. I cannot thank Dr. Sarah Lowry enough for continuing to provide these in-home services when both I and Bailey needed them most. And I cannot thank Barbara B. enough for writing her review, which I am sure was difficult to write. Because Dr. Sarah continued providing in-home service and because Barbara B. wrote the review that led me to Dr. Sarah, I was able to set my mind at ease. Bailey and I were truly able to enjoy our last few months together while I worked from home. And when that time came, I made the call to Dr. Sarah and she was there the next morning to help us say goodbye, peacefully at home. Please note: the cost was not expensive either. Dr. Sarah's vision is to keep animals in the stress free environment of their own homes while helping them feel better. If you have an aged or sick pet that could benefit from home veterinary care, acupuncture, or end of life services, I highly recommend giving her a call.

I called and asked if they would be able to fit us in that day, because I was concerned and worried that we may have to put her down. As I'm crying to the woman who answered the phone, her curt response was "listen, we are so overbooked right now, I couldn't get you in if I wanted to". No concern for her condition or offering to get her in at a later time. That was it. My father dealt with the same woman a few weeks back when he took my dog in for her rabies shot and said she was awfully rude and didn't understand why I chose that practice. I chalked it up to someone having a bad day, but this was all the confirmation I needed to choose another practice.

We have retired greyhounds and they are prone to bone cancer so we came in knowing this could be extremely difficult. The staff and vet were so sincere and understanding. They understand there is no right answer in situations like that and allow the family all the time they need to make those tough decisions. The prices were more than reasonable with meds and X-rays. I really feel the service I got was incredible but most of all the understanding and compassion really made the difference.

The vet that euthanized my dog DID NOT give her the injection to put her to sleep before giving her the injection to stop her heart.

When the injection was given to stop her heart she screamed loudly in pain and howled and looked me directly in the eyes before she collapsed. That scream has haunted me for 12 long years!!

They also established care with a Vet that only works in this office once a month and is unreachable for any calls or anything in between. All I needed was a form signed for insurance but nope. Also asked to speak with Dr. Sood several times and even that took weeks. He has yet to ever meet my dog. So yea, as a first timer with dogs and Vets, I'm hoping my next clinic won't be so horrendous as this one. On a positive note, Liz the office manager is nice, and really tried to be accommodating, but there have been too many issues for such a short period of time.

After getting her home into a perfect setup I saw all the scars and old injuries that indicate a wild caught animal. Now almost two years later, after trying literally everything, I'm still syringe feeding her. She will only eat live lizards, but unfortunately lizard feeders are all wild caught and riddled with parasites and disease. So I can't with good conscious keep her on a lizard diet. THESE PEOPLE OWE ME $850. There is a reason they are banned from all NARBC shows. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE. They sell wild caught animals with a bunch of problems and lie to your face. They are also professional arguers and gas-lighters. Telling you that you are the problem, your setup is the problem, and the animal they sold to you is perfect. I am a caretaker for one of the top Basin Emerald Tree Boa keepers and breeders. They keep and breed high-line ETB's that average 10-15 thousand dollars. They also have a few 25 plus thousand dollar boas that the public isn't even aware of. If I can be trusted by them, I AM NOT THE PROBLEM. You can literally see them doing it in the response to other people's reviews. I'm sure they will either argue with this review, or find a way to get it taken down. Beware the wife. She walks around in a very low-cut shirt with her bra and boobs exposed luring young men to buy from them. At the NARBC show two years ago, she was bending over in front of people so her shirt and bra would fall away literally exposing her nipples. Keep away, keep your children away, just do not visit these disgusting people. On behalf of all responsible reptile keepers, I apologize for this company's horrible practice. DO NOT SUPPORT PETS PLUS-REPTILES & EXOTIC. They also own KICKS BALLS.

The driver of the van for Fort Hyde Kennels decided to just sit in the left lane, obstructing other traffic. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the left lane is for passing other vehicles, not for chilling out. Our vehicle, and multiple others, had to pass the vehicle from the right lane, as they would not move out of the left lane. The female driver seemed to be in a daze, as she was stairing straight ahead. No signs of checking mirrors or any type of awareness of what was going on around the vehicle. She showed no intention of moving into the right lane (or middle lane when it opened up to 3 lanes). Nothing against the business itself, but it might be a good idea to put employees who drive their van through some kind of defensive driving course.
