“There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.”
Our experience with Lap of Love was truly exceptional during one of the most difficult times for our family. From our first conversation, everyone we interacted with was compassionate, patient, and helpful. They took the time to answer all our questions thoroughly, explain what to expect, and help us feel comfortable with the process. Their kindness and understanding brought us much-needed comfort as we prepared to say goodbye to our beloved Stella. Dr. Megan showed such professionalism, warmth, and genuine care throughout the afternoon. She treated Stella with gentleness and dignity, while also showing compassion for everyone who was there to love and support her. As painful as it was to let Stella go, being able to have her surrounded by loved ones in a calm and peaceful setting meant so much to us. We couldn’t have asked for a more caring team to guide us through this heartbreaking experience. The thoughtful note afterward was another reminder of the compassion we felt throughout our time with them. We are deeply grateful to Dr. Megan and the entire Lap of Love team for the care they gave Stella and the support they extended to our family.
Dr. Lewis was more kind and helpful than we could have hoped.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Chris and the compassion he showed Jager and me during one of the hardest days of my life. Jager had been my best friend and constant companion for more than 12 years, and making the decision to say goodbye to him was heartbreaking. From the moment Dr. Chris arrived, he was incredibly gentle, patient, and kind. He never made us feel rushed and gave Jager the dignity, peace, and love he deserved in his final moments. Because we were able to be at home, surrounded by people who loved him, Jager was comfortable and peaceful—and that meant more to me than I can ever adequately express. Dr. Chris’s kindness didn’t end that day. He later sent me a beautiful sympathy card, which touched me deeply and reminded me how much he truly cares about the families and animals he helps. There are certain people you never forget because of the kindness they show you during the most difficult moments of your life. Dr. Chris is one of those people. I will always be grateful to him for helping my beautiful Jager leave this world so peacefully and with so much dignity and love. Thank you, Dr. Chris, for taking such wonderful care of my boy. ❤️
I cannot say enough good things about Lap of Love. Saying goodbye to our 17-year-old Chihuahua, Tina, was one of the hardest things we have ever had to do. We had her since she was a puppy, and she truly was the queen of our house and such a huge part of our family. When it became clear that it was time, the most important thing to us was keeping Tina at home. We didn’t want her last moments to be in an unfamiliar clinic. We wanted her in her own bed, in the home she had known and loved for so many years, surrounded by us and her fur family. Dr. Jess Jenkins came to our home and was incredibly kind, patient, compassionate, and respectful. She never made us feel rushed and treated our queen like she mattered. She gave us the time and space we needed to love on Tina and say goodbye. On one of the worst days of our lives, having someone there who understood just how deeply we loved her meant more than we can put into words. Tina was able to leave this world peacefully at home, surrounded by love. As painful as losing her has been, we will forever be grateful that we were able to give our queen that final gift. Thank you, Dr. Jess Jenkins and Lap of Love, for taking such wonderful care of our queen and for treating our family with so much compassion. We will never forget the kindness you showed Tina and all of us that day. ❤️
