When it became necessary to put our 19 year old cat Tabs to sleep, I was told about in-home euthanasia services, which I wasn't aware were available. After speaking to Dr. Watson on the phone, we arranged for her to provide services. We had a small family gathering for her visit. Everything about her visit was professional, compassionate, and the whole family was satisfied with the way it went (I really can't say they were happy, given the circumstances). We would recommend doing this procedure at home to anyone faced with the same circumstances, and would highly recommend Dr. Watson. read more

Dr Watson was a huge godsend to me. I was at a loss as to how/where to help my almost 19 yr old kitty make her transition. I called Dr Watson that morning, and she made space for us the very same evening. When she arrived, she thoroughly explained what was going to happen, and I didn't feel rushed at all in the process. Having my Isis pass at home w us, was a huge blessing. She didn't have the fear or anxiety that putting her into a crate, and bringing her to the vet would have caused. She was calm, comfortable and safe in her own home. Even though this was the MOST difficult decision to make, I feel that it was a beautiful, calm and peaceful experience. My kitty felt no pain or harm, and passed very quickly. thank you Dr. Watson~ We will continue to recommend you to our friends in need. read more

i wanted to express my sincere appreciation to Dr. Lorraine Watson for making the most difficult decision of my life easier than I could ever have imagined. She's so compassionate, caring and simply the best when it comes to ending the life of a beloved pet, in this case, ALLY a 14yo german shepherd who was no longer being managed well with pain management arrived and immediately interfaced carefully with her and when she left my home she had such a peacefulness, a very peacefulness that i had not seen in years. you would be remiss in not retaining this wonderful Dvm and human being. She is simply the very best at what she does. read more

We called Dr. Watson to euthanize our 16 year old dog, Otter, and set an appointment. Wen she arrived I realized she was a veterinarian I worked with in 1988 in the Conejo Valley. She is the kindest, loving, most compassionate vet I ever worked with and I was so grateful to have her be the one to help my dog over the rainbow bridge. Dr. Watson explained all that was going to happen when she gave the different drugs to Otter, to my husband who had so much anxiety. She crawled down on the grass where he laid with us and gave him a sedative while we fed him ice cream cones, BBQ chicken, cooked beef liver and other yummy foods. We waited about 10-15 minutes, telling him how much we loved him and watching him excitedly devour the yummy foods. He slowly relaxed and then Dr. Watson gave him the final injection, slowly, so he could go gently with all of us around telling him how much we loved him and giving him kisses. I can not emphasize enough how important it is to have your dog or cat euthanized at your home and I am so grateful for Dr. Watson's services. I could not imagine having to take him into a clinic where he would be fearful from the smells and sounds. We owe our babies this last kindness after all their loyalty and love. read more

She was great at making a very difficult day easy to get through. Very happy I could have my boy pass at home too.

In such a tough time Dr. Watson was an angel. She made sure my poor cat was comfortable and loved on her way out. Deciding when it's your pets time to go is the most difficult moment. But having someone come to our home and make our baby as comfortable as possible was the best choice we could have made. If we ever find ourselves in this situation again Dr. Watson will 100% be who we go to. Thank you Dr. Watson for your genuine care and love. read more

I waited for an explanation for 2 days before leaving this review but never got one. I had adopted my Mini Aussie from the pound a couple of years ago, and was told she had a bad heart. I brought her home anyway. In the last couple of weeks, she went in to heart failure. I had to take her to the vet twice in a week and finally there was nothing more that could be done. She was panting a lot, coughing and had extreme trouble breathing. She had one seizure, and had been falling down and couldn't walk well. Two days ago, I called Dr 4 pets and spoke to Dr. Watson around 9:00 a.m. She made an appointment for 4:00 pm that day to euthanize my baby. I had someone drive quite a distance to be here with me for this. I prepared a place for my dog so she would be comfortable. I also prepared myself mentally for what was going to happen. Dr. Watson told me to go to her website and download a form, print it and fill it out to give her when she arrived. I did all this, plus I already had her check written out. Dr. Watson told me to go to her website and download a form, print it and fill it out to give her when she arrived. I did all this, plus I already had her check written out. She was a NO SHOW and NO Call. When she was an hour late, I called and left my number again (since you cant leave an actual message). I called again an hour after that and left my number again, as that is how you reach her. As I said that was two days ago and I have still not heard from her. This was very cruel to me and my pet. Of course my baby got worse and suffered for 2 extra days unnecessarily, and needless to say, so did I. I finally got ahold of a different service this morning and this one came right over. My baby is gone now, but suffered for two extra days thanks to an insensitive and cruel Dr. Watson! read more

Dr. Watson came to my house very quickly. I had called at 2:00 a.m., requesting an appointment for our suffering cat for later that morning or afternoon. She called me at 8:00 a.m. and was at my house by 10:00 a.m. She was very patient and kind and was helpful to me, as the question is always: Is this too soon? Is it too late? She was very clear that we had called her at the right time and explained why it was optimal that we euthanize our cat at that point in time. She offered a paw print in clay, which we declined. I would call her again if we needed this kind of help. read more

Dr. Watson is one of the most compassionate and understanding people in the whole world, our precious Fur Baby, was always a very anxious dog she was pretty much scared of everything. I knew when we had to put her to sleep she would've been suffering if we had to take her in the car to see our regular vet. I called our vet to ask if they could do something for our Penny at home. But because of the current situation with COVID 19 they were short staff and couldn't come to our home, instead with their recommendation they told me, about Dr. Watson. She came as quickly as she could, and she was able to make sure my baby girl Penny was able to pass easily in the safety of her own home. I'm forever thankful for her, and her good work that she does. If you love your pets like family, and want to make sure they're at their most comfortable at home. She'll help you through it, and make sure that your pets needs are met in the most comfortable setting. Dr 4 Pets is one of the most compassionate and caring organizations for your pets needs and I will forever recommend them. read more

There could never be enough days to say goodbye to my 15 year old companion, but to have to make the most difficult decision of my life in less than one day is beyond painful. All I knew is that I didn't want her to suffer, and I wanted her to go peacefully at home. Fortunately, I knew of Dr. Lorraine Watson, and contacted her immediately. She was kind, compassionate, caring, gentle, soft-spoken, sensitive, answered all my questions and let me determine the pace.

We thank her for taking care of him and making sure that his final remains came home in a few weeks. read more

This is the second time we have used Dr. Watson. We were referred to her 12 years ago when it was time to put down our 14 year old Lab. We had to use her again today, for our 10-1/2 year old Lab.

I would never use anyone else, you will not be disappointed if you ever have to make this hard decision. read more

While it is nice to euthanize a pet at home. I did not have the pleasant experience others mentioned. First issue was to insure payment was received immediately. Dr Watson explained the sedation shot prior to euthanization. I did not feel any empathy or compassion, i felt like she was counting the minutes until my pet became lethargic so she could quickly administer the final injection. I felt like my wife and I were under wordless scrutiny until the final injection. She seemed cold and money driven. Next time, we will most likely utilize another service. I just did not get any positive vibes from her, felt like a fast gardener, mow, blow & go. Ultimately, understanding it is a difficult task but it seemed like just another case to guarantee the almighty dollar! To top it off, she was quite late for our appointment, which in and of itself is quite stressful. read more

Dr. Watson is the best! I was so conflicted about putting my 15 year-old pup to sleep. He had congestive heart failure and I wanted to make the right decision. Upon discussing his situation I knew I was making the right decision. He was not doing well and I could no longer be so selfish. Dr. Watson was so supportive and compassionate. She made the transition painless for my pup and myself. I was able to let him go while he was in my arms. I am so glad I found Dr. Watson by searching for in home pet euthanasia. She was so accommodating. She made herself available based on my needs even at the last minute. I highly recommend her. read more

We scheduled an in-home euthanasia visit with Dr. Lorraine Watson online and texted her a brief medical history of Jillian, our Australian shepherd. Dr. Watson texted us a confirmation of our appointment. She arrived around 12:50 for our 1:00PM session and surprisingly, when I opened our front door, Jillian ambled outside to greet Dr. Watson at her car. We convened inside and quietly discussed Jillian's health history and the slow decline in her quality of life. Dr. Watson came fully prepared and carried out her duties calmly and professionally. The entire process went smoothly and Jillian's passing occurred peacefully. I couldn't imagine such a sad event taking place with more dignity and loving care. We highly recommend Dr. Watson. read more

Yesterday we had to put down our beloved 13-year old Borzoi, Sonny. Dr. Watson slid us in at the last minute & actually took the call even though we were slightly outside of her area. She had trouble finding our house (which a number of people do the first time) but she stuck with it and she got the job done, professionally and efficiently. And she was good at working with us even though my wife and I were on FaceTime from Montana while our daughter was in the room with Sonny, Dr. Watson and a couple of our friends. Everyone was crying and it was a tad chaotic but Dr. Watson did her job really well. I would not hesitate to use her again. read more

On Monday we had to put our beloved dog of 14 years down due to an extremely aggressive and painful bone cancer. Dr Watson made an extremely difficult situation much more bearable with her kindness and quite gentle nature. She was 100% professional and guiding , and yet extraordinarily sensitive to our grief as well as the need to not cause any anxiety for our dog. She made the process as smooth and gentle as possible and I honestly believe that our dog passed with no pain or fear- his head resting in my lap. We are forever grateful to Dr. Watson and while I don't wish that situation on anyone, I 100% recommend her if you do find yourself with that difficult task read more

Dr. Watson is so incredibly compassionate. We unfortunately woke up to Ginger, our dog of 16 years literally being on her last leg so we made an appointment for the soonest availability Dr. Watson had which was a few hours from when booked the appointment. I didn't think she was going to last the next few hours, and while I was thinking this, Dr. Watson called. We told her we wanted our dog to be put to sleep as soon as possible as we could feel her pain just being drawn out, so Dr. Watson dropped what she was doing, got in her car and drove to us immediately (before the scheduled appointment time). When she arrived, she was so caring, soft spoken, and really took her time with us. She gave me a little bit more time to be with Ginger while letting the sedative kick in, put her down and peacefully took her away. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to help us with such a difficult moment in our lives. Thank you, Dr. Watson. Your humility and kindness allowed us to let GInger go in as peaceful of a way as she could. read more

Two tiny homeless kittens were found in the trash behind our company. Those cats were hand raised by me and my husband. Although they remained feral; They had a great life in a special room in our home dedicated just for them. They were members of our family. 17 years later "Angel" became terminally ill in July. Our vet recommended Dr. Lorraine Watson to come to our home. Thank God we did, because she was the most kind and compassionate person I have ever met. She peacefully helped Angel cross to the "Rainbow Bridge." 3 weeks later her sister "Sunny" joined her.
