What pet parents are saying

She was absolutely wonderful. So caring and compassionate during a time that was very sad and hard. Would absolutely recommend her and call her the next time I will have to make this decision.

Review by Dr. Karen Whala

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity of spirit! We couldn’t have asked for better last moments with Honeydew. Since we appreciate your services so much, I did want to leave some hopefully helpful feedback. My booking said the vet would reach out to me before the appointment, but didn’t say specifically when. Since I hadn’t heard anything the night before I got concerned and called the contact number. A nice man said a vet would call me back that night but no one did. I wasn’t sure the euthanasia appointment was going to happen until I got a text a few hours before, which for me was a bit stressful. Again, nothing but gratitude for all you do! Just thought I’d pass along my experience.

Review by Dr. Karen Whala

Dr. Whala was absolutely amazing. She let us know exactly what to expect through the entire process. We didnt feel rushed and she took her time before beginning to help our baby Keoki feel at ease. Which in turn helped us as well. This may have been the most difficult decision we have ever made but we feel confident after speaking to Dr. Whala that it was the right one. We have 3 other babies and we will definitely call on Dr. Whala when their time comes.

I cannot speak enough praise over the kindness and compassion Dr. Karen showed to myself and my family during such a difficult time. Even though we are so sad to have lost a beloved member of our family we are so grateful for the dignified death she was provided.
