We LOVE Dr. Karen Whala, and will definitely use her services again, as needed. She is patient, kind, compassionate, and professional. She made us feel ok about our tough decision to euthanize our beloved Lab, Zara. We will highly recommend her to anyone in our recent situation.

Dr. Gary was so very kind and compassionate. We got to be with our cat, Daisy, in one of her favorite spots of our home. Dr. Gary gave took us through the process, then gave us the time we needed with Daisy before he administered the sedative, then again before he administered the final shot, and after. We got to cuddle with her the whole time. He took Daisy's body away and his wife returned with her ashes. The company that they work with included two river rocks with Daisy's name on them that were with her when she was cremated and are a perfect size to hold in your hand. We also got the keepsake of Daisy's paw in clay, which was very nicely done, however we wouldn't get that again as it doesn't look like her paw to us (due to the nature of how much bigger a paw looks when pressed into clay). We liked the inked paw prints on a card that Daisy and I made together the day before. We very much appreciate how patient, kind, and compassionate Dr. Gary was and that this service was available for our beloved cat.

Dr. Karen was great. Very caring and empathetic taking steps to make sure Zayden was comfortable with everything before starting her process. He was treated as if he was her best friend. Highly recommended.

From the time Karen texted she was at the house until she left she was so very calm, professional and patient. Her presence set the mood and the whole experience was so very peaceful for me,Bella, her dog sister Riley, dog cousins, my sister, brothers and friend. Thank you Dr Karen, you will be highly recommended! Riley and I are a bit lost even tho Bella couldn’t do much, but missing her presence. I know deep in my heart she was ready to move on. Thankyou❤️

Dr. Whala was wonderful. She spent plenty of time listening to me and learning about Stella. She made absolutely certain that Stella felt no discomfort whatsoever. It was a rough day, but Dr. Whala made it by far the best experience with euthanizing a beloved pet that I’ve ever experienced.

Making the decision to euthanize our beloved Ozzy who could no longer walk was devastating. Dr. Karen was extremely kind, compassionate, and reassuring. She is truly an angel here on earth.
