I had a horrific experience putting my 15 year old lab Zach down and I want to save the heartache for anyone who will need an euthanasia service for their pet. I want to expose these HEARTLESS, insensitive pieces of crap.
The name of the company I used was PRECIOUS HEARTS. It was two part: the vet to provide the euthanasia and the owner of Precious Hearts who would pick up my old boy and take him to be cremated and return his ashes to me. The vet from SOUTHEASTERN MOBILE VETERINARY CLINIC, Dr. James Neuman walked into my house with two syringes, no bag, no stethoscope, just two syringes. He didn't even evaluate Zach, let alone pet him, talk to him or explain the procedure to me. He just handed me the paper work and as I'm filling it out, informs me that he's "going to go ahead and get started with the anesthesia". REALLY?? Isn't that the whole idea of putting your pet down in your home, so you can be next to them??Throughout the ENTIRE procedure? He administered the anesthesia and five minutes later STABBED Zach through his chest into his heart with the "double dose of barbiturate". I was sickened. The sound was horrific. I've NEVER heard of euthanization by these means? And then proceeded to tell me "what a fighter he was" when Zach was gasping for his last few breaths.
Oh, but it gets better.....
Scott, from Precious Hearts, that came to pick Zach's body up, was a disgusting excuse for a human being. He couldn't even come into my home to help carry Zach to his vehicle for transport, because he didn't want to "be too far from his oxygen" said he didn't want to "keel" over in our driveway. (And then he tried to tell me a "joke" when I was giving him Zach's name and birth information). My husband had to drag Zach across our kitchen and through our family room to the garage and then Zach was loaded into the TRUNK of Scott's taxi cab. Yep, I said TAXI CAB. I felt like I was in the f-ing twilight zone.....I asked for a buisness card, an invoice, some credentials, asked where he was taking my pup. He got snippy with me, handed me a Petco advertising magazine with his taxi service add in it, said he'd been doing this for "years", practically through my check back at me, bitched about even having to be there because he was a "very sick man" as he pointed to his oxygen tank (not my or my Zach's fault you're an obese pig) then told me I could pay him when he was done! I flipped the eff out, but I will spare you the dirty details. Needless to say, Zach is buried near to me and didn't go with that pathetic, insensitive animal.
I hope no one ever has to go through this experience. PLEASE share my story and get the word out never to use Dr. Jeff Neuman from Southeastern Mobile Veterinary Clinic OR Precious Hearts OR Scott' Taxi Service!! Thank you friends read more
