Dr. Orvin and Sam are two of the most amazing and compassionate people I have ever met; I truly don't know how they do what they do. They gave us an additional four months with our big guy, Bane, keeping him comfortable and enhancing his quality of life right up to the very end. When it was his time, they were incredibly patient and kind, and it was such a relief for us and for Bane for him to be able to cross over the rainbow bridge in the comfort of our home. I will never be able to thank them enough for everything they did for our family during this very difficult time. read more

Recently, we had to euthanize our beloved 14.5 yr old chocolate lab, Bo. Dr. Orvin arrived at our home and went to sit by Bo who was in his bed resting. She was very sweet and had a calm demeanor, which was so helpful for Bo, as well as my husband and I. She explained the process and answered any questions or concerns that we had. Our sweet boy crossed Rainbow Bridge, without pain or anxiety. He was so peaceful. It was a very sad time for us, but we were very thankful to Dr. Orvin for keeping the atmosphere tranquil. read more

Dr Orvin was the best. She was so caring when we had to say good bye to our precious Pepper. She was so professional and caring. Could not have asked for better care for our kitty. Thank you for being the best and allowing us to be at home when we had to say good bye. We know how hard you tried to accommodate us and our time line. The service you provide as the only vet in this wonderful practice is nothing short of miraculous!!! read more

Lowcountry Pet Hospice and Home Euthanasia - Pet Hospice Near Me

No matter what I write it is never going to be enough. I have a 13 year old Collie who means the world to me. Despite his age, he still eats and drinks fine and is the most wonderful companion, but I couldn't find a vet that took my concerns seriously about his pain and I wasn't able to get the dog in the car anymore to even bring him. I was spending $250 a month on meds that weren't doing the trick and this became increasingly upsetting for me, watching this innocent dog suffer when I knew as a nurse that other options should be available. So far in the course of less than three weeks, Dr. Orvin and the vet tech Michelle have been here three times to help control Martini's pain and I am so grateful to them. I know we don't have long together but at least I can have some peace regarding the quality of his life at the end. Thank you for taking such great care of us. read more

Dr. Orvin and her assistant provide such a respectful, dignified, compassionate and loving service for grieving families. We had to say goodbye to our 16 year old cat and it was comforting to know our baby was in her home surrounded by family and loved on even in death. Dr. Orvin answers the phone and has wonderful communication. I highly recommend her and her company if you are faced with this tough decision. read more

This is a hard review to write for obvious reasons. This is a service you do not look forward to using, with that said Dr Orvin was a godsend to our grieving family saying good bye to our companion of 14 years. her compassion and understanding made this passage peaceful. she provides a difficult service and does it with class and compassion. Thank You Dr Orvin read more

Dr. Orvin was amazing; I can't praise her enough for her service, kindness and professionalism. She showed up on time, was extremely communicative about the process, wasn't invasive in our personal time and didn't rush us. I hope to never need her services again but if I do, I won't hesitate to give her a call. Thank you. read more

Dr Orvin is nothing short of amazing. She was compassionate, sensitive, and respectful during a time when we could hardly speak words. She answered the phone personally, and greeted me using my name each time we spoke, after my initial call to her. I found her rates for the at home euthanasia very reasonable and honestly worth every penny. Allowing our dog to be laid to rest in his home where he was most comfortable and relaxed made the process so much easier for Champ, as well as us. I would give her 10 stars if I could. read more

I can't rave enough about Dr. Lauren Orvin and her professionalism and care when going through a tough time of having to euthanize a sick/older pet. Add COVID to the mix, and knowing how awful it is to have to euthanize on a vet hospital table instead of in the loving home with the guardian your pet has known his/her whole life, I was beyond relieved to find that Lowcountry Pet Hospice was still offering home services. My sweet cat, although in pain, even greeted Dr. Orvin as a friend. My cat's [fur] sister even came by and sat next to us for the duration of saying goodbye. Dr. Orvin gave me as much time as I wanted to cuddle and pet and talk to my little son and was patient with me as I tried to hold myself together. I won't say the decision and process is easy, but Dr. Orvin just has a way about her that makes it more easeful. I received my baby's paw print and one of the most beautiful cards within three days of Pepper's passing, along with his ashes so he can be with me again. I believe Lauren wants to reunite you back with your four-legged friend as soon as possible. I am very grateful that a service like this is available in our area. Highly recommend to anyone. Please stay with your fur family during the euthanasia, even if it hurts your heart. read more

Dr. Orvin is the perfect person for providing this service. Dottie was the fourth dog I've put down, my first with Dr. Orvin. I had never met her in-person prior to today. In home, with Dr Orvin is a far better experience than the office or hospital. The prior reviews by Mark and Ashley give you an honest assessment of who Dr. Orvin is and what the experience is like. She is compassionate, caring, understanding and gentle. Putting down your pet is difficult. Dr. Orvin makes the experience as good as one could hope for, read more

Six years ago we had to euthanize our first Brittany, "June", due to issues with Cushing's Disease. We took her to our regular vet and though blind and deaf her sense of smell let her know just where she was and she was terrified. It was a miserable experience for the entire family. Last week (3/30/2016) Dr. Lauren Orvin assisted in our second Brittany's trip to the Rainbow Bridge with care, class and dignity here at our home. Our dear Bailey was at peace and comfortable and passed in my arms that day. And though I lost my best friend of 14 years that afternoon it was Dr. Orvin's candor, insight and obvious care for our situation that made the moment as peaceful as I could have ever imagined. Dr. Orvin is truly a class act. Dr. Lauren Orvin and Lowcountry Pet Hospice will forever be my pick for our family pet's final needs. read more

Laura was incredible. This was my first dog I ever had to put down. I had another dog in the home as well and the two have spent the last 9 years side by side. Laura spent time with all of us before we even got started. She explained everything thoroughly but so gently. You can absolutely tell she understands what a sad upsetting time it is having to say goodbye to a four legged family member. I can't express how much it meant to be able to have Jonah (a very shy dog) in his own home, in his own bed, with familiar smells, with his sister by his side as he left this world. I highly recommend taking this avenue when the time comes for your furry friend. read more

I wish I could give 27 stars.... Today we put our dear, sweet Brandi to sleep. The experience that Dr. Orvin provided was one of compassion and total understanding for what we were going through. First, it was very nice being able to get all the needed info and book the service online - instead of having to speak to someone and say the words that would have been so hard to say. Then she followed up with a personal phone call less than an hour later to confirm and understand a little more about our situation. When she arrived she explained everything up front before we began. If I had to sum up the entire experience with one word it would absolutely be "compassionate". It was obvious that she very much understood the pain and emotion of the situation. During the process she engaged with us at just the right times, and then somehow blended into the background when my wife and I needed her to. Putting a pet down is a terribly sad experience but Dr. Orvin truly makes it as comfortable and respectful and it could possibly be. I want to thank her for her compassion and personal touch. She handled the situation as if she had been a part of our pet's life for all of her 16 years. If you know its that time for your pet, please do yourself the service of allowing Dr. Orvin to do it in the comfortable and loving setting of your pet's own home. Thank you Lowcountry Pet Hospice.... read more
