Making the decison to say goodby to Origami was one of the most painful and confusing times in my life.

If you are struggling to help your pet transition in a pain free way and would like to do it in your home with the most gentle and kind person, please choose Alexis. I will miss my sweet sweet Angel for the rest of my life but I feel grateful knowing she wasnt afraid and felt safe and loved in her last moments. Thank you Alexis

Dr. Alexis is not only a true professional but one of the most caring and compassionate doctors…read morethat I have ever met. This was an extremely difficult decision to make for our baby, Bosco, who was 13 when we had to say goodbye. We had been in communication more than once with Dr. Alexis before we had made the final decision. She was extremely patient and understanding with us as well as guided us through the process and explained everything thoroughly . It felt sad as anything to say goodbye but she made it a peaceful process while celebrating his life. Cannot thank Dr. Alexis enough and if anyone ever needs end of life care, I would highly recommend her.

Dr Leshanski had been taking care of my girl for the last five years. And I can't believe I never…read moreleft a review. I was recommended him my girl's old vet in Queens who didn't do visits in Manhattan and I cannot begin to say how lucky we are to have found him. I have been to so many vets over the years with my fur babies, some who look at you like a checkbook, to the point of telling me "maybe you should go elsewhere" when her nerves got the best of her (I'm looking at you Animal Medical Center) and others who put the needs of the animal above all else. He not only put my Leia's needs front and center but his care and compassion for the pet's companions, I can't say we're owners, was above and beyond. He gave my girl five more good years of life. Dealt with all my stupid questions and emails with patience and care. And he was here to gently ease her on her way. Anyone who needs a vet to take care of their furbaby. Please reach out to him. You can not find better.

We got a text of the expected time and an update when there was a very slight delay. We got a follow up text the next day, with an offer for grief support. This is a well run organization.

Her wisdom and forethought went above and beyond my expectations, and believe me, I had rehearsed this terrible day many times in my head. My call was promptly returned, a convenient time scheduled, and the process discussed. During this time of social distancing, some special accommodations needed to be made, but they in no way interfered with the love my dog received that day. Dr Dale played music made for dogs ears only and was extremely comforting to me as well. She made a clay print of my dogs paw, which I will cherish forever. The support Dr Dale gave that day extends far beyond as she checked in on me and provided access to support groups. When I picked up my dogs remains, they where surrounded by meditation gardens and considering the circumstances (pandemic restrictions) I couldn't have asked for anything more comforting and reassuring that my dog was truly loved and that I had made the right decision. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Kathy Bremer at XTerra Dalmatians

I was first introduced to Liz through a mutual friend. She gave me tools through patience, guidance…read moreand demonstration to care for my cat Fred and bring him to a full recovery. She allowed me to have many more years (he lived for 20) with my beloved furry companion. Now many years later she has helped me once again with a dog I inherited named Luna. She is a 7 yr old Chihuahua mix who suddenly started to suffer seizures, and became very wobbly and twitchy. Within the first couple of days the symptoms appeared we brought her to 2 different vet practices. They both drew the same conclusions of neurological issues (after ruling out toxins, injury, and tick borne diseases), but could not give a definitive answer without pricey diagnostics. So we started to medicate for one possible issue at a time to see which one would work (or not work) so we could rule out as we went along. In the meantime I contacted Liz looking for some guidance. I had a conversation explaining symptoms as well as sending her short videos during different activities. Immediately she recognized the involuntary movements, Luna was most likely suffering from cerebella ataxia. This made total sense to me as I have worked with cats that lived with feline cerebellar hypoplasia. Liz gave me a list of herbals for specific symptoms. Knowing I have some experience with natural medicines, she told me to "play with them" until I hit the right combination. I will not lie, I was reluctant to stop Luna's prescription from the vet as the pills seemed to be working; even though it was explained to me how the side effects may be preventing her from improving to the full extent. Then it happened, I accidentally dosed Luna twice one evening with her prescription meds. Luckily there was no harm done, but it was scary...and just the catalyst I needed to make the switch. Even though the first 2 nights she seemed to regress, I trust Liz. I told myself what I always told my customers, give it time. By the end of the 1st week, I started to see improvement. Over the past month I have tweaked her herbals (sometimes accidentally), and she is a completely different dog. She has not had a seiziure, nor does she twitch or wobble like she did a few weeks ago. She is now capable of eating, playing, walking on a leash and going to the bathroom like she did before the big seizures occurred and major symptoms appeared. Liz worked her magic once again...I used to trust Liz, now I have straight up faith in her!

Dr. Lisa was very understanding and compassionate and my wife and I are very appreciative of what she does. For our latest pet Bentley, he had multiple complex issues to include anemia, diabetes and cancer and was recently discharged from a 24/7 veterinary hospital. Rather than let him transition at the hospital we knew we could reach out to Dr. Lisa and request those services within our home. This was more comfortable for him and for us to have the ability to say goodbye in the place he had called home with his family. Dr. Lisa was very transparent on her pricing each time we called upon her. And each time we made that phone call to her we knew it was only a day or so away before we would have to say goodbye to our fur baby. My wife and I are very appreciative of the services offered as well as Fifi and Bentley. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

He responded quickly via text, then a call a little while later. We explained that we came to the decision to put our almost 20 year old best Buddy to peace. We couldn't wait all day for the inevitable, it was tearing our hearts apart. He was able to rearrange a few things and got to us sooner than later. He was so professional and caring from the moment he walked in our door. We were able to hold our Buddy while Dr Fasano respectively did what needed to be done. He listened to our stories, as we cried through our last moments....and then that was it. Buddy got his wings. I cannot recommend Royal Farewell enough. We are so glad we didn't have to bring Buddy to a cold, scarey, sterile vet room. He got to cross the bridge, in my arms, in his house, with Dr Fasano caring and consoling us the entire time.
