Testimonials for Lap of Love Veterinarians

Knowing the time had come to let go of our beloved cat, Elsa, was heart-wrenching. Although we love our veterinarian’s office who has cared for our pets for 30+ years, this was not where we wanted her to spend her final moments. We called Lap of Love on a Thursday afternoon, and were able to schedule for the next morning, which is what we wanted. Dr. Nancy was very kind and supportive, letting us know the steps of the procedure beforehand. Elsa was able to pass on one of her favorite places, on her blanket, with us petting her. When the time comes again, we will use this service. This is such a gentle way to let go.

Dr. Audrey Clark was so kind and caring and helped us thru the process. It was so peaceful Baby being at home.

Dear Jasmine, I wanted to send you a heartfelt thank you from our entire family. It's been a month since we said goodbye to Lucky, and we still miss him every single day. He was such a special part of our family, and saying goodbye to him was incredibly difficult. We will always be grateful for the kindness, compassion, and love you showed Lucky and all of us during his final moments. Having him at home, surrounded by the people who loved him, made such a painful experience a little more peaceful. Yesterday, we received the package with Lucky’s paw and nose prints, and we were so surprised to also find the dog tag with his prints. I had only ordered the digital copies, so receiving the tag was incredibly touching. It brought tears to my eyes, and it means more to us than I can express. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our sweet Lucky and for giving us this beautiful keepsake to remember him by. We will treasure it always. With love and gratitude.

After a long and heartbreaking battle with health issues, our family had to make the incredibly difficult, last-minute decision to say goodbye to Boo, our beloved West Highland Terrier of nearly 16 years. Boo wasn’t just a dog. He was a cherished member of our family, and the thought of letting him go was absolutely devastating. Through Lap of Love, we were blessed to find Dr. Meredith. I genuinely believe there is only one word that can adequately describe this extraordinary woman: Angel. Dr. Meredith possesses a rare and beautiful combination of compassion, kindness, professionalism, and an almost indescribable ability to comfort people during one of the most painful moments of their lives. She was so much more than a veterinarian. She was a caregiver, a counselor, a source of strength, and a comforting presence when our family needed one the most. Our entire family cried uncontrollably as we said our final goodbyes to Boo. Yet somehow, through all those tears and heartbreak, Dr. Meredith managed to turn one of the saddest experiences of our lives into something incredibly peaceful, beautiful, and filled with love. She understood that we weren’t simply losing a pet. We were saying goodbye to a family member who had given us nearly 16 years of unconditional love, companionship, and wonderful memories. The compassion she showed Boo, and every member of our family, was beyond anything we could have hoped for. There are certain people who come into your life for only a brief moment but leave an impression that lasts forever. Dr. Meredith is one of those people. We will forever be grateful that she was the person who helped us through Boo’s final moments. At a time when our hearts were breaking, she gave us something truly priceless: the comfort of knowing that our precious boy’s final goodbye was surrounded by love, dignity, gentleness, and peace. Dr. Meredith, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Thank you for your compassion, your tenderness, your reassuring presence, and for the extraordinary work you do. I cannot imagine how emotionally difficult your calling must be, but please know that the difference you make in the lives of families like ours is immeasurable. You helped carry our family through a moment we never wanted to face, and we will never, ever forget you. Lap of Love is incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Meredith. Our family will be forever grateful to her.
