Testimonials for Lap of Love Veterinarians

My wife and I cannot thank Dr. Andrea Hafar enough for her kind and compassionate care for at home euthanasia for our sweet, baby girl Lana. Lana was an anxious, somewhat reactive dog with strangers, and Andrea was patient and understanding about our instructions for introductions with new humans with our dog, as she entered the house. This started everything off right as she entered our house and Lana was extremely calm, and so were we, as the process started. Everything went so smoothly and so beautifully with Andrea. She was so kind, compassionate and understanding through the whole process and told us exactly what was happening all along the way. She also gave us time throughout the whole process to grieve the loss of Lana, we really appreciated that. We never felt rushed and she really took her time. I really, really cannot express how grateful we are for Lap of Love, and Dr. Hafar, for this amazing service. Our Lana was terrified of the car and vet office visits, so watching her cross the rainbow bridge at peace, in calm, in her own home, on a good day (not suffering) was something we really wanted for her and for us. We are eternally grateful. I’d also like to add that the people who take the calls on Lap of Love’s phone line are amazing too. They are so professional and kind. I was an absolute wreck making that initial call and they were so kind, patient and understanding. I honestly thought I was speaking to an AI agent but I definitely was not. I commend Lap of Love for training their operators so well. I’d also like to add that the YouTube videos on knowing when it’s time were very helpful too. Our Lana was having intermittent respiratory distress (LarPar) and from talking to our vet and watching the videos we knew we’d have less time with her since she could have had a full-blown respiratory emergency at any time.

Dr. Jodie was truly such a blessing to us. From the moment she arrived, she was so kind, nurturing, and understanding. She made one of the most heartbreaking experiences of our lives as peaceful and gentle as it could possibly be. We are so grateful she was there to guide us through it, reassure us, and help our sweet girl transition with so much love and care. We will forever be grateful for the compassion she showed both us and Maisy. We also want to thank Lap of Love for making it possible for us to say goodbye to Maisy in the comfort of our own home. Being able to spend those final moments with her in a place where she felt safe and loved meant more to us than words can express.

Dr. Paula came to our home today and helped us and our beloved 13 year old dog (Jack) thru our time of need. Her kindness and gentle manner towards all 3 of us made saying goodbye a little easier. She explained every step and also gave us privacy through out the process. Thank you Dr. Paula.

Dr. Michelle was perfect for our anxious former-feral cat, Mamas. She was always skittish around strangers but the doctor made everything quick and calm for her. She went peacefully in my arms at home, where she was most comfortable.
