We scheduled our next appointment for today and we received a call from Debbie a couple of months ago stating she had sold the business. We received a call from the new owners stating they would have a groomer with experience with our breed would we like our appointment for June 1st . We did not receive any reminder call, or any communication from the new owners regarding our appointment for today. Imagine our surprise to arrive at our appointment today to closed doors and a sign saying under construction. I have been a business owner for many years... This is no way to run a business... Will not ever be returning to this business... There just is no excuse for this.

Lots of word…read moresalad on how the videos of a dog less than 40 pounds cleared an 8-foot concrete wall isn't available. Even years later, my phone blows up with all sorts of crazy accusations and stories. It's rather interesting. She's died many ways apparently. My dog was killed in your care, and you did nothing about it but threaten me. The lawsuit backfired due to the threats, and taking away my rights. Didn't pay for her cremation, but tried to put me in prison for extortion because I told him I would not take the review down. Then tried to sue me for 80k...is that what it was? Karma is a beautiful thing.

No training for the people. I brought 2 strong working breed dogs to Chris.

I can only speak on my experience here. We found out from our normal vet office that our dog had an…read moreinoperable tumor on her liver that was basically the size of the liver. We spent all day at home with our girl, knowing we would have to have her euthanized, but didn't have the money. After speaking to our vet about our financial limitations, they told us to contact DoveLewis. Unfortunately, we were above the income requirement to get full assistance, but the total cost was less than any of the at home euthanasia places we contacted as well as cheaper than our normal vet. We arrived around 8:30 pm with our dog and requested their services. We got right into a room with her. They were very kind and empathetic. They were helpful in explaining everything. They allowed us to sit with our girl for as long as we wanted before and after the procedure (we were with her during as well). Letting her go was such a difficult, heartbreaking decision. DoveLewis made it a lot easier on us. I will forever be grateful for the kind staff and for them assisting us in parting with our sweet girl.

When that is no longer the case and tough decisions need to be made, we had an excellent experience with Compassionate Care to say goodbye to our pup. Let me start by saying that every administrative and customer service interaction was timely, clear, and concise. The last thing you want in this situation are delays and confusion. Once I reached out through the contact link on their website, the email response with details about their different services happened within 10 minutes. An intake call to make arrangements for a euthanasia visit at our home was answered by a human and only took a few minutes. They recommend making a reservation 48-hours in advance, but we were put on a wait-list and we moved up our reservation when things opened up. I appreciate that you can reschedule (with four hours advance notice) as well. They have a variety of services, Eco-friendly cremation, and memorial pieces. Everything was arranged in advance, including payment through their web portal, so when the vet arrived for the appointment it was all about our boy and his (and our) comfort. Dr. Wilson clearly walked us through the process, gave us time to say goodbye, provided options, and was a wonderful partner in the process. Cremation is done at a facility in N. Portland, but they have the option of picking up the cremains in Oregon City which was more convenient for us. Having gone through this experience with another pet where we took them to the vet's office, I would highly recommend this option for the pet's comfort. It just felt better saying goodbye in a familiar space surrounded by love.

Our dog has grown more confident and comfortable and established great friendships with other dogs at Mother Pupper.
