    On 5/5/25 my mom had to put her poor little Benji down. He was part of our family for 15 good years, bless his heart. I did research and found Guiding Light. I advised my mom to go with Guiding light based on the excellent reviews and reasonable price compared to other places. Benji was not only my mom's world, but her true companion. My mom is 82y/o and lived alone. Benji's was her get up and go...he gave her purpose in life, he was her motivation. Dr. DeMoraes was truly a God send. So kind, warm, compassionate, and patient. We were the last appt for the day and even though it was late, she still gave us time to grieve and say our last good byes to our dear sweet Benji. Dr. DeMoraes was also very humble, explained the entire process, explained the medications before she administered them, informed us of what we should expect to see after each medication was administered. Words cannot express how much she helped us through this painful process of watching Benji transition officially to the end of his life. And frankly, Dr. DeMoraes is just a down to earth young COOL chick! Good Bless you Dr. DeMoraes

    Lucy, always in our hearts. Rest in peace

    We are extremely thankful Dr. Moraes was available for us when our beloved Lucy needed help exiting the physical world. She was kind, gentle, and her soft voice was very comforting and compassionate, all while explaining the process. Our Lucy passed peacefully on 1/6/26. We also received a very thoughtful condolence card which shows her caring heart. As pet parents, no one ever wants to have to make the difficult decision to say goodbye via euthanasia. If we find ourselves in that situation in the future with our other pets we will definitely call Guiding Light & Dr. Moraes.

    I can't say enough about Dr. Moraes! They worked us in on a Saturday night when Pepper started failing rapidly. Though I knew it was coming, you're never completely prepared. Dr. Moraes was compassionate, professional and just a great human. Though the whole experience is emotionally devastating, this Company made the experience less painful and we couldn't have asked for more. If I could give 10 stars I would....

    Our Sweet Riley.

    We called today as our little precious sweet Riley had struggled all night to breathe. The medications for her heart had stopped working and she was in pain and we knew it was time to let her go. The Dr. made time for us within 2 hours to be at our home so she didn't have to endure more. We were emotional wrecks having to make this call so quickly, however the Dr. was so kind and so sweet with Riley being so caring with her and with us. We picked her favorite spot to sit and watch everyone walking by and she was able to be loved on and put in a calm state before we let her go! We have never used a home service like this in the past, however we will only ever use them again. Specifically Guiding Light. Riley was able to have the peaceful, and dignified passing she deserved for all the love she gave to us.

    We had to put down our 16 yo kitty recently and used Guiding Light. Dr. Moraes was kind and compassionate. Having this done at home didn't stress our kitty and he was at home in our loving arms.

    Doctor Dior Moraes is an angel. I could not give her a better description. Such a compassionate and caring soul. She is with you as you grieve the process and is so understanding in the midst of a stressful time. She brings an air of comfort with her soft-spoken ways. Step by step she explains the process. She spoke to my Eddie as well as she was administering the medicine saying what a good boy he is. She flows physically, her actions are soft and smooth, not jarring or apprehensive. I could not have asked for a better experience than with using Guiding Light, such truth in the name. I am forever grateful for Dr. Moraes and her services. Many rewards are laid in Heaven for her. I wish her and her family the best life has to offer.

    My sweet boy Rza. May he rest in peace
    Helena N.

    My husband and I decided to put our sweet boy dog down due the progression of his aggressive lymphoma. It was beyond difficult to make this decision, and Guiding Light supported us throughout the process. First off, Dee was empathic, informative, and efficient. This was our first time experiencing this and Dr. Moraes answered all of our questions in such a caring way. She took her time to get Rza as comfortable as possible. She explained every single step and explained the reasoning behind it as well. She gave us time to say goodbye to our sweet boy and we never felt rushed. Thank you Dr. Moraes for creating a peaceful experience for our sweet Rza and both my husband and I.

    From the moment Dr. Dior entered our home, an aura of calm peace was felt! She was kind, calm and so gentle with our precious Bailey Jo as she helped her cross the Rainbow Bridge. Since then Dr. has continued to be a source of strength as I deal with my grief. I am so grateful, and certainly highly recommended her. Thank you, Dr....for touching our lives in such a profound way. Many blessings ! jay navarro

They are kind over the phone and in person. The Vet/doctor seemed very kind, very patient, and basically providing you the time and info you deserve since you're paying for their time and knowledge. I don't get a sense of rush or belittling. He was basically wanting me to ask him questions and wanting to help me with anything I had concerns about. I felt I didn't have to wait for him very long while in the exam room. He was patiently waiting for me and the assistant to finish signing documents. Only small set back for me was that my appointment was at 9:30 and my dog wasn't seen until 9:50. So I sat and waited in the lobby. Fortunately I was in no rush. I'm just always nervous at first time appointments and unsure how it would go for my fur baby. I was informed that walk in appointment/exams are more expensive than when you make an appointment. First time appointments they charge for an exam fee in addition to the vaccines I needed. It kind of deterred me, considering another place I found didn't charge for exam fees but what I appreciated was that they had an available appointment the next day. Their vaccine fees seem to out compete the other location. I figure a first time exam should be useful anyway, and it was. :) I have nothing else to compare to. I hope I made the right choice coming here. It felt like it though. The Vet seemed very honest and I appreciate that.

Our baby had a "fat pocket" or "fatty tissue" on her rear leg that grew to the size of a small baseball. she had problems, walking, sitting and just all-around discomfort. We had hesitated to have it removed earlier because she had complications from a previous time where she had to be sedated. Dr Ables comforted us and never judged us for waiting, explaining that decision was based solely on our concern for her. He removed it, along with a mass on her back and a skin tag on her eye. He gave us back a dog, that despite being 14yo, has a renewed pep in her step. Shes back to doing zoomies, not young ones, but non the less zoomies, shes doing a little jogging in the house and even doing the "hibernating" or "burrowing" in her blankets before lying down.

Every interaction felt thoughtful and intentional, and their professionalism gave me so much confidence that my dog was in the best hands. It's not easy to find a vet team that balances expertise with compassion this well, but Dr. Ables and his staff absolutely do. I'm beyond grateful and wouldn't trust anyone else with my dog's care. Highly, highly recommend.
