We recently had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to our beloved Baylor. He was so much more than a dog--he was family. He was incredibly smart, funny, loving, and loyal, with the best personality and facial expressions. He loved his hugs and always made us feel safe. I can't say enough wonderful things about Lap of Love and Dr. Bri, who came to our home. She was absolutely amazing--compassionate, patient, gentle, and incredibly comforting. She explained everything clearly, gave us all the time we needed, and never made us feel rushed. The care and respect she showed Baylor and our family meant more than I can say. We are heartbroken, but so grateful Baylor was able to spend his final moments at home, surrounded by the people who loved him. I highly recommend Lap of Love and Dr. Bri to anyone facing this difficult decision. She made an unbearable moment as peaceful and loving as it possibly could have been. Thank you, Dr. Bri, for taking such wonderful care of our boy. We will love and miss you forever, Bay. read more

They sent Dr. Kenzie to our home the day I called. We were very impressed with her compassion and professionalism. She explained everything to us, and our dog was never anxious or fearful during the very peaceful process. I highly recommend Lap of Love.

This was next level caring by Dr Bri. When Dr. Bri arrived, she took her time throughout the entire process. She was very kind and patient with my 9 year old son. She allowed us time to be with Violet before she had to leave without feeling pressured to let her go. We did not feel rushed. I especially appreciated the gentleness of how Violet was treated once she had passed. I trusted that Dr Bri took amazing care of her in her transport. Communication and support in the days was a special touch. read more

Lap of Love - Veterinarians Near Me

It was really terrible to have to put our dog down, but Lap of Love was really excellent. We're based in Tucson and had an extremely positive experience with Lap of Love. They were transparent about costs on their website, which I appreciated. So many companies will take advantage of a difficult situation and not be transparent about costs until you're already on the phone with them. They took our card info upfront so we didn't have to deal with payments during the day. They provided us with a short arrival window, which was helpful because it would be stressful to wait around. We called on a Wednesday and were able to schedule an appointment for Friday morning. They were very gentle with our dog and very clear about what would happen when, while giving us the reigns in terms of saying when things should happen. read more

From the very moment they answered the phone the love was apparent. The staff was so beyond empathetic and friendly it was hard to believe. I talked to several staff and they were all like this. Just beyond caring, they used our pets name and sent them love. Dr.Bri was just the sweetest most caring human. As soon as she saw our boy she got right down on the ground with him and was loving on him and talking to him like it was her own baby. She explained everything and made sure we were comfortable with everything that was going on. She let us lead and she followed. She didn't rush us and gave us all the time that we needed. The care she showed to our boy.. holding his paws and stroking his head, it was really touching. We are forever thankful for this company and will make sure to always let people know just how special our experience was and how they turned such a bad day into something very beautiful. read more

Everyone I spoke with was so kind, caring and patient - it was just what I needed in such a difficult time. The vet was so kind, and let our family take our time to say goodbye. She was so gentle with Teddy, and with our feelings. I could not have asked for a more peaceful, loving end to our dear dog's life. Thank you all so much. read more

On what is one of the worst days of your life, you want someone like Dr. Lisa to help your best friend and companion on to his or her next life. Our ginger tomcat, Herschel, was dying of kidney failure and a tumor in his throat that, toward the end, would not allow him to eat or drink. He was a cat we rescued years ago after he had been abandoned, fell on hard times and nearly died. We gave him the care he needed and although he occasionally showed neurological problems he recovered and endeared himself to us -- even though he never became a "lap cat" and tried his best to terrorize our other three cats. When we knew it was time, we had Dr. Lisa come to our home where she gently and lovingly helped him leave this world. I cannot say enough about her kindness and concern. read more

Dr.Lisa Shriver, Was very pleasant to work with during our very difficult time when having to euthanize our precious "Lil Man " Chico -5lb Chihuahua .He had been part of our family since he was 4 weeks old and lived to be 14. He had a mammary cancer that he was not able to beat.We tried everything possible to save him including chemotherapy,but it did not slow down the cancer.So to give him the BEST life ever we stopped the chemo after being told he would only make it another month before he would have to be laid to rest. Well he did give it all he had and lived for Exactly 1 more year to the date from when the chemo was stopped.He was a fighter but he finally told me he had ,had enough,and I had to accept this. Dr.Lisa arrived to our home on time and was very calming,relaxed ,quiet, honest and detailed in how the process would go,reassuring us the entire way that this was the best decision and that he would not be in any pain as the process occurred.I will say that Dr.Lisa is a very kind ,compassionate,loving lady and without her My family would not have been able to get thru this process .After all was done,i truly felt that this was a very peaceful experiment and she was reassuring that we gave our "Lil Man "the best life he could have asked for even in the end. We will forever be grateful to Dr.Lisa Shriver with Lap Of Love in Tucson ,AZ. And when the time comes going forward for our next furbaby to be laid to rest will will again reach out to Lap Of Love and hope to use Dr.Lisa shriver then. A beautiful ending if there ever one to be experienced We give 10 STARS to Dr.Lisa Shriver with LAP OF LOVE.. the Reagan Family .In memory of CHICO.. read more

I'll start by saying: Dr Lisa is a wonderful human. We had to euthanize our 13-year-old shepherd mix last week. She was an old girl and had recently been diagnosed with lymphoma, though she hadn't been feeling good for months. Last year on the Tucson subreddit, there was a discussion about at-home euthanasia. Prior, I hadn't known it existed. But since my dog Nenya was elderly, and didn't like going to the vet's office, I made note of the most popular at-home end-of-life vet: Lap of Love. Dr Lisa was specifically mentioned there more than once. When it came time, I knew exactly who to reach out to. It's so hard to know when it's the right time. It's so hard to make the decision to end the life of this adorable creature and family member you've been providing care for years. But this is just more caring, isn't it? The final act of love. I so appreciate that Dr Lisa adapted to the situation (Nenya wanted to be in a small bedroom and so that's where we gathered). She explained everything, let things proceed at our pace, and later sent a card to the house. That was such a nice touch and I completely acknowledge everything that was done to make this time easier, for all of us. I hope everyone at Lap of Love takes care of themselves; this can't be an easy job. read more

We can't say enough good things about Dr. Kenzie. Our cat was on his last days, and she was able to come by on less than one day's notice. She was compassionate toward us and our other pets. She made our cat comfortable with a tuna treat and administered the meds in a way to make our cat comfortable and relaxed, and he then passed away peacefully in our arms. I'm sure that she and the other vets see this all the time but she still was able to show compassion and bring us comfort. Losing a pet is one of the worst things you can experience but when the day comes we absolutely recommend Lap of Love and Dr. Kenzie specifically. read more

One of the toughest things I have ever had to do was make that call to Lap of Love to have them come out for my dog Chula. She was 18-19 years old and it was just time as her quality of life was going down hill. I made the call and the person answering the phone today was amazing. Very compassionate and took her time explaining everything. Dr. Quick came out and was caring, friendly, and thoughtful thru the whole process. Gave her a treat while she did the first intermuscular shot which just made her super relaxed. Then after she was just relaxing, gave her an IV and then told me when she was going to do the final injection. Chula passed looking at me and in total comfort. She was having trouble breathing before and the last minute or so went back to normal and then stopped. I couldn't have asked for a better way to end a great 13 years. The price of $395 included everything as well as a paw print of her. It would have been extra for cremation but I was going to bury here at my family home here in Tucson. Thank you Dr. Quick and the lady that took my call (I am sorry I don't remember yours with everything going on). I highly HIGHLY, recommend them! read more

We were in need of at home euthanasia for our 14 year old beagle. Dr. Lisa came to our home and was the kindest most gentle vet we could have found.

Located in Florida, so don't know local providers. Very horrible administrative staff...cancelled my appt that was scheduled 6 days in advance, while the cat was dying. The cat died Tuesday, the day of the cancelled appt. The day before - almost 2 hours was spent trying to keep the appointment. I had to beg the staff to leave it scheduled and of course they wouldn't. Horrible people, no compassion, no caring, reviews are not true clients,please have nothing to do with this company. read more

I discovered that my nearly 12 year old pup had injured his leg and my only options were surgery (made risky due to his age and damage to his other leg joint) , expensive therapy and pain management for the rest of his life, or euthanasia. I did NOT want him to go to a vet's office where he would be frightened and uncomfortable, so I looked into home services. I'm so glad I chose Lap of Love. Dr. Kenzie Quick was so kind and caring, as was everyone I spoke to over the phone. Dr. Quick reviewed everything with me, and helped me choose everything, including the location in my home. She allowed me and my other dog to spend as much time as we wished to with Bruno to say goodbye and cared for him as if he were her own. It meant very much to me that she understood everything I was dealing with and feeling. I highly recommend this service if you are looking for a very personal, caring and sympathetic answer when you have to put a pet to sleep. I'm very glad I chose them. read more
