Although this was the hardest day of my wife's and my life, Gentle Touch made it the best moment it could possibly be. While no one wants to go through this immense pain, I highly recommend using Gentle Touch if you have a fur baby near their time. If you have any doubts, concerns, or are simply unsure if it's time yet, I highly suggest setting up their consultation/evaluation appointment. They will help assess your pet and give you honest feedback on their condition. They were so accommodating and compassionate, and I truly believe they are doing God's work. Our baby boy got to transition at home in his favorite spot, eating his favorite food, and went peacefully. We and our baby boy will forever be thankful to Dr. Jones and Carmelle of Gentle Touch. read more

I cannot express how kind and caring Dr. Christi & Carmelle are. I was devastated to have to say goodbye to my 6yo beautiful brindle boxer. Cancer really does suck. Dr. Christi and her vet tech, Carmelle, went above and beyond in their explanation and care of in-home euthanasia from start to finish. I cannot recommend them enough. Their kindness and caring was exceptional and really made me feel so much better even though my heart was shattered. Thank you both so very much! -Andrea & Angela read more

Thank you Dr. Christi for taking such great care of our (fur) family and patiently walking us through the process every step of the way. We are forever grateful for the extra moments and being able to rest peacefully in the comfort of our home. 5+ stars for bedside manners from first contact via text through to the final transportation moments. read more

Our sweet 15 Year old, Hildy, was going downhill fast and I knew it was time to make a decision. Due to her lack of mobility and confusion/anxiety, I knew I wanted to have it done at home, in her bed. I reached out to Dr. Christi via text and she was so helpful and responsive. She and her assistant Carmelle came to our house two days later. They encouraged us to have a special treat for Hildy to enjoy during the visit and we got Chick fil-A chicken nuggets and fries. They explained everything before it happened and allowed my family time and space to deal with our grief. She enjoyed her treats and settled down peacefully. She was finally not hurting anymore and they gently tucked her in a bed with her head on a pillow and let me say goodbye again as they put her in their car. Everything they did was so gentle and respectful and we never felt rushed. Although it was such a sad time, I knew I was giving Hildy one last gift - to be able to pass away peacefully in her bed with her favorite toy. I would 100% recommend Dr. Christi and her assistant Carmelle and am so thankful to them for giving us peaceful memories of our beloved sweet girl. read more

Dr. Christi & Carmelle were AMAZING!! They made a tough day much more manageable. Dr. Christi was fast to respond to emails and very accommodating. She came in and explained the entire process and never rushed us. She loved our baby like it was her own and petted her & whispered to her through the whole process. She allowed her to fall asleep peacefully while eating her favorite food. She stepped outside to give us as much time as needed to say goodbye. She had a portable gurney-type thing she put my baby on (all tucked in with a pillow as if sleeping) and allowed us to walk out to the car to give a final kiss goodbye. Very comforting, professional, and caring. I'd highly recommend them (especially after an experience we had with a previous dog where the guy rushed us and put the dog in a body bag like we were just a number). read more

Our dog was the best, and he lingered but struggled more and more each day. It was so difficult to know when it was time. I texted Gentle Touch, we set a date three days out when the sun would be shining, and they came as planned. While it was personally devastating to come to grips with his departure, Gentle Touch was exceptional in attending to our precious dog (and to us). They also gave us useful tips, as we chose to bury him near our home. read more

Dr Christi is a caring vet and we were so grateful to have found her to visit our house and help our 16 year old dog cross the rainbow bridge in a peaceful way. Maggie was not stressed or worried at all. She enjoyed eating deli meat while the sedation took hold. I appreciated texting to arrange the appointment as it was easier for me not to have to speak the words. I highly recommend Dr Christi when the time is right for your pet. It's so much better than going to the vet. read more

From accepting a last minute appointment at the end of their long day, to the total explanation of what was going to happen and what we could expect, the entire experience was peaceful. It was time to say goodbye to our 16yo kitty who was very sick with no options left unfortunately. She hated the vet's office and her carrier, so bringing someone to the house was a no-brainer. And being that she was suffering, we were SOOO thankful to get an appointment the same day. As hard as this whole thing was for our family, our little girl was peaceful, handled so carefully and went to rainbow bridge in her favorite spot. They asked us questions and made the process around our goodbyes and her comfort. Would 110% recommend to anyone needing this service or any other home vet service. Dr Christi & Carmella were professional, gentle and everything our kitty needed. thank you. read more

Dr. Christi & Carmelle were so comforting and informative throughout the entire tragic experience of letting our senior dog go. They responded to my new client form quickly and scheduled our in-home appointment for the very next day. Every step of the way, they stayed in touch. This was so important to me as my anxiety gets the best of me sometimes. As soon as they entered, they joined us on the floor with my fur baby. Everything was taken at my own pace without me feeling pressured at all. I would recommend this company's service to anyone. read more

When we open our arms to these pets we call our babies we never think ahead of the times we may have to say goodbye. Dr. Christi and Carmelle were compassionate and helped made the process more easy going than we expected. We said goodbye to our baby of 12 years and feel at ease that we chose Gentle Touch to help with the departure. The ladies were very patient with us and also did not rush the process. They made sure we were ready before initiating anything. I hope I won't be needing of their services any time soon but I will definitely keep them in mind if ever needed again. Highly recommended for a more loving personal touch, did not feel like we were with doctors or vets but with friends. read more

Gentle Touch Home Vet - Jodi - Veterinarians Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

It was tough to see our first family dog start to grow old. She was 2 months away from her 15th birthday but over one weekend, we saw her rapidly decline. A dog who never said no to her favorite treats all of a sudden stopped eating, at that point we knew it was time. I quickly googled and found Dr. Christi. I knew I couldn't bring myself to physically talk to someone on the phone as I knew I would immediately start to break down, there was a number you could text instead. She responded quick and we scheduled the first available day she had to come to our house to put our baby to rest. Dr. Christi and Carmelle are angels. They walked us through the entire process and let us take it at our own pace. A week or so later we received a heartwarming card from them. We can't thank them enough for making such a difficult and heartbreaking time in our lives feel just a little bit easier. read more

Dr. Christi and Carmelle are the best I've ever experienced and I've had a lot of veterinarians over the years! When we moved here two years ago they came to my daughter's house where I was temporarily living and the care and concern for my aging dog by Dr. Christie and Carmelle was outstanding! As time went on and our Gracie had more and more aging issues, Dr. Christie guided me through them all with such patience. Recently, it was time to let Gracie go and again...so grateful for Dr. Christie and Carmelle! They came to my apartment and again with the love and compassion they have shown all along, Gracie was able to peacefully pass while laying in my lap on my chair in her favorite spot. The respect and compassion was off the charts! I could not have asked for a better transition for my Gracie who had given so much love back to me in her time with us. read more

I am so grateful that I chose Gentle Touch Home Vet Care when it was time for my beloved dog to cross the Rainbow Bridge. Dr. Christi and Carmelle are outstanding and they deserve 100 stars for their kind, thoughtful, and gentle support. They thoroughly explained the process and ensured that my pet did not suffer. Gentle Touch provides outstanding care and attention to detail from start to finish, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. read more

Dr. Christi and Carmelle have treated our senior dog for the past few years, and I can't speak highly enough about the experience: They perform his annual exams at our house and promptly provide his results. If he needs additional veterinary care from a specialist, prescriptions, or supplements, they provide me with the information I need to either schedule appointments or submit an order. They are both extremely knowledgeable, skillful, and experienced. Moreover, they consistently dispense their wise advice and counsel with compassion, so I never feel talked down to or chastised when I ask questions. I highly recommend their practice. read more

I can't think Dr. Christie enough for her assistance with my sweet aging canine. Since many clinics won't allow pets and their owners in the clinic together, I reached out to Gentle Touch to help me with my very anxious and scared aging dog who I was NOT going to put through a traumatic trip to the vet clinic. Gentle touch was terrific. I will definitely use this service again in the future, even once everything is "back to normal," because this team is very kind, considerate, knowledgeable and responsive! When the time comes to say good-bye, I am calling Gentle Touch because I want my sweet dog to go peacefully at home. read more

As others have mentioned, Dr. Christi and Carmelle are really Angels. They helped us out during a very difficult time. They came out to our house two times in a day. The first time to look over our very old Zorra and gave us all the information we needed to make a very tough decision. There was no rushing or judging, but simply information. After we had a family discussion and made the decision we called them back and they offered to come back later (much later, after a long day for them) to put our Zorra down. It was obviously a very emotional time, but Dr. Christi and Carmelle were very patient, understanding and respectful in everything they did. Even though it was almost 11 o'clock at night, they took their time to explain everything and did not rush at all. I wish I could give them 10 stars. I cannot say thank you enough to Gentle Touch. read more

When it was time to put our senior dog to sleep, we wanted to make sure we could do so at home. It was an unbelievably hard day, but was made better by the love and care we all received by Gentle Touch Home Vet. From walking us through the process to not making us feel rushed, Dr. Jones instantly put us at ease. Saying goodbye to your loved ones will never be easy, but do yourself a favor and reach out to Gentle Touch when the time comes. You won't regret it. read more

I can't tell you how many people I have referred to Dr. Christi and Gentle Touch. She is an angel. She is so kind and gentle with our animals and you can tell that she really cares about them. We believe mobile vet care is THE BEST thing since sliced bread! No stress of putting your pet in the car (they always know where they're going!) and no stress of being in a crowded waiting room with other animals and getting your animal all worked up. Once you experience in-home vet care, you never go back! Sadly, our most recent interaction was having Dr. Christi come to our home to put our beloved 20 year old kitty to sleep. It was SO hard to do, but Dr. Christi was amazing and didn't rush us in any way through the process. I would never put an animal down on a cold stainless steel table at a vet's office again. Being home and warm in their own little bed is the most loving way to do the thing that we all hate to do, and Dr. Christi's compassionate care makes that possible. We even got a sweet little clay imprint of our girl's little paw and a card a few weeks after. read more

Christie thank you for helping me through this difficult time. It was very hard to let go of my 18-year-old cat, Cody, but you helped me through it. You created a calm environment and gave Cody a peaceful passing. He is now a happy, pain-free, 20 pound cat again and I know God is happy to have him back! Ferran well my sweet cat, until we meet again! read more

Dr. Christi Jones and her technician assistant Jill are EXACTLY who you want to call if you have a need for an at home visit. It's likely a scary, anxious time for you and your furry family member, but to know there is someone to help in this circumstance is just what I needed. My 16-year old kitty hasn't been doing well the past couple of days, and even taking steps outside the front door of my home would be more trauma than any visit to the vet could benefit her. Dr. Christi and Jill were able to come in and examine my kitty without taking her from the environment in which she is most comfortable and at ease. They were able to take blood and have results to me within a short time, and they're able to have frank quality of life discussions without pressure or guilt. I am so thankful for this team and their "gentle touch" in the care of my furry baby. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need! read more

Dr. Christi Jones at Gentle Touch is amazing! I would highly recommend her if you would like a vet to come to your home. The experience is so much better than subjecting your little one to a crowded veterinary office. We had the unfortunate circumstance of having to put our dog to sleep after a long fight with oseosarcoma (bone cancer). When I heard that she would be able to perform euthanasia at home, It put my fears of a "final vet visit" at ease. She was so kind and caring. She explained the entire process and made the last moments with my Baby Girl as peaceful as possible. The experience was filled with compassion, love and kindness. read more

Dr Christi Jones and her assistant Jill are THE BEST home vet care in the city of Atlanta. I've been using them now for almost a year and we have a 22 year old cat named Miss Jenny. Miss Jenny hated going to the vet but now that's a problem in the past because Dr. Christi Jones and Jill come to her...... I highly recommend using Gentle Touch Home Vet Care for your furry friends... Daniel Troppy Atlanta read more

We have loved our local vet all these years. But when our aging cat was ready to go, we wanted to make it as peaceful as possible with in-home care. Dr Christi was highly recommended by a friend. She was able to give us a quick appointment. She was gentle, efficient, and respectful, a great help in time of need. 5+ stars. read more

Dr. Christi & her team were amazing. We cannot say enough good things about their care. Our sweet dog's health quickly declined and they were available to help and answer questions immediately, and guide us through the process. They helped us send her off in peace and with dignity. I don't know what we would have done without them. They allowed us to send her off exactly the way she wanted. They are the best. read more

I will start with this... Dr. Christi continues to be a blessing to our family and we will forever be grateful to her. In the years we have been caretakers of all breeds of cats and dogs, nothing is more agonizing than sticking them in a box and driving them to a clinic. The worst kind of anxiety any domestic animal experiences on top of being sick is a drive to a vet clinic. I have never felt at ease in a clinic with my beloved friend, so I can't imagine what it must feel like for them! Dr. Christi is professional, kind, thorough, mindful, and talented. Both you and your animal friend will feel at ease right away in her care.... and in your home. Her prices are reasonable, but to be honest I would pay whatever it cost to NOT put my buddy thru tremendous anxiety in an already weakened state. Thank you for all of your hard work and compassion Dr. Christi. read more

When my cat's health deteriorated, Dr. Christi's assessment and advice helped tremendously.

Five stars is not adequate enough to describe the wonderful experience that I had with Christi and her team. They exhibit such compassion and care for you and your cherished pets of which I cannot adequately describe. Having your fur baby put to sleep at home will forever change the way you feel about euthanasia. I am grateful for their help during one of the most difficult times in my life. read more

I acquired a VERY skittish little kitty, who was overdue for his yearly vaccinations and could use a thorough exam. I made an appointment for my family vet and tried to get the little fella in a pet carrier... Fast forward to a couple hours later, once the bleeding stopped on my hands...I decided to Google a mobile vet -could such a wonderful service truly exist? It does! And the mobile vet I chose (because of the glowing reviews on Yelp!) is Gentle Touch. I cannot say enough good things about this service and the lovely ladies who provide the expert care; they are indeed gentle, and well-versed in how to calm a skittish kitty. They even managed to clip his nails during the exam! And all of this in my home for a price comparable to an in-office visit. Both of my little kitties will be home-vetted from now on! read more

It has taken almost a year for me to be able to write this review, but I really cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Christi. She was amazing in treating (and ultimately euthanizing) my geriatric Black Lab at home. Elvira suffered from Laryngeal Paralysis, so a car ride to the doctor was out of the question due to breathing crises and rear-end weakness. Dr. Christi was compassionate, knowledgeable, and candid -- all of which was needed and will forever be appreciated. read more

Dr. Christi Jones was recommended to us by an associate to perform an in-home euthanasia for our little Mr. Dingo. She was caring, considerate, and professional (and that was before her arrival). When she arrived, both our older dogs were sleeping. She quietly came in and sat down on the rug. Mr. Dingo woke immediately and went to her, sat down and looked at her with his ears back. She said to us "oh yes, he is ready". We had been grappling with when was the appropriate time for him so it was a relief to know we had made the right decision to not wait any longer. It was not easy but we felt better knowing he was ready. The process was painless for him and he got to eat all the treats he wanted before falling asleep. It was the perfect way for him to go to the bridge. What we appreciated most was Dr. Christi's honesty and her concern for what is best for the pet. We are considering using her to care for our other dog as well. read more

When it came time to place our beloved cat (Reggie) to rest, I contacted multiple home-services for euthanasia in the Atlanta area. The service and compassion that we received from Gentle Touch Home Vet immediately surpassed the other providers. Christi was highly responsive. She knew that Reggie was not well and did everything possible to assure that his appointment was scheduled as quickly as possible. When she arrived at our home, Christi assessed Reggie's health to assure we were making the right decision. This was extremely helpful in giving us peace of mind that we were doing what was best for him. From there, the kindness and gentle care that she showed for Reggie, even after his passing, was such a gift. Our pets are our family. It is our job to take care of them from beginning to end. While the end can be some of life's most difficult occurrences, it is a true blessing to have companies like Gentle Touch Home Vet and people like Christi who genuinely care. We highly recommend this company and are forever grateful for their services & comfort in our time of need. Sincerely, P&J read more

There are no words to adequately express my gratitude to Dr Christi for the loving care she gave my baby in her transition from this life to life hereafter. Christi drove several miles at 8:30, on a Saturday night , on very short notice, to be here for my precious 14 yr old kitty, Ella. I could never have imagined the peaceful transition that took place. Christi has been given a very special gift, to do the work she does. I can't recommend her highly enough. Mary Ann Bryant read more

We have had the great fortune to know the most amazing, adept, kind services of Dr. Christi and Camelle for several years. Our family is comprised of former strays and ferals that have found their homes with us... And while each of our 5 (!) sweet and very social kitties is now much more relaxed from their upbringing on the streets, we like to minimize their stress levels as much as possible. Trips back and forth to the vet's offices for standard procedures and check-ups can strain some of our more sensitive guys, so using the services of a mobile vet like Dr. Christi is ideal. But their compassion and knowledge goes above and beyond... Truly. We wouldn't have it any other way with our little ones, and are tremendously thankful for this team. read more

I couldn't be happier with our visit from Gentle Touch. We had Christi and Carmel (spelling?) come over and put our baby Edgar to rest. They were very professional and so sweet and kind the whole time. They explained the whole process beforehand and told us what to expect every step of the way. Thank you for being so great at a time like that! read more

Dr Christi is talented, thoughtful and caring. My cat had gotten so old and infirm, it was finally time to put him to sleep. As every other review has described, it was wonderful to have Dr Christi come to my home and help our cat in the most calm and comfortable way possible. I am so grateful for Dr Christi. read more

Dr Christi, Tony and I had to meet under the most unfortunate circumstances. Our 13 year older Doberman wasn't doing well for some time but late yesterday evening everything went down hill. I messaged Dr Christi who answered me a 3 am and was at our him at 10 this morning. She made a very difficult situation as easy as possible, for us and our dear girl. She was comforting, told us exactly what to expect, included our other "kids" and loved us and Abby through the entire process. Dr. C, can't thank you enough! To anyone going this, do yourself a favor and call them!!! read more

Dr Christi Jones is an ANGEL! My wife and I had to let go of a very sick 16 year old kitty. Dr Jones was able to come to our home and perform the service in an environment where Athena (our kitty) was most comfortable. It was the best possible solution and the best way for Athena to pass with dignity. We are forever grateful to Dr Jones. read more

I'm grateful to have found Dr. Christi Jones and Carmelle. They've been providing quality at-home care for my dogs for over 2 years now. They're extremely caring and compassionate vets, who provide an exceptional service to pet owners. I love their balanced approach of traditional and holistic medicine. They recently supported me in transitioning my dog (via euthanasia) during a terminal illness. It was a heartbreaking day that Christi and Carmelle made a bit easier with a peaceful at-home experience. These ladies are special people with a passion for providing quality care for pets, and I highly recommend. read more

Dr. Christi was an answer to our prayers. When we realized it was time to put our 13 year old Weimaraner down we knew we wanted him to be at home with family during his transition. It was not an emergency, so we were able to make an appointment. Dr. Christi responded quickly to my first inquiry and was very professional and empathetic. When she arrived her demeanor was warm and our dog was at complete ease around her. We had quite a few family members there and she took the time to educate us all on the procedure and made every effort to put our dog's last moments at ease. We have had to say good bye to a lot of pets over the years and though it's never easy, I would say being at home around loved ones is by far the best way. read more

It is difficult to express how helpful and compassionate Dr. Christi Jones was when we had to deal with the difficult decision to have our dog put down. She both helped us work through the decision and then made the process as peaceful and reassuring as possible. This is so much better than bringing our pets to a vet. I highly recommend Gentle Touch both for regular veterinary care and for the difficult time when it's time to help our friends transition to the next stage. read more
