When making the decision to put our beloved dog companion of 12 years down, we had an expectation that our beautiful boy would be put down by able, skilled, confident, prepared and relaxed professionals. Instead we selected Aspen Grove and we received none of these afore mentioned attributes from the people we entrusted with this most important last act of care for our dog. I don't know if it was their first or fiftieth attempt to euthanize in home, but it was certainly the worst and can only be summed up as clumsy, ill-prepared and extremely stressful to everyone involved. I attempted to give the business owner Jaime the opportunity to respond to my complaint and she was apologetic, admitted they failed and caused us additional pain but made no offer to refund any part of the charge. In this situation, no words can change what happened, so as business owners the only thing they can do to try to make up for this failure is offer monetary compensation. But, they once caused my dog to go deaf temporarily and didn't offer any refund then either, so I am only left to assume that they regularly fail the owners of the pets entrusted to them so refunding for poor or failed service would likely put them out of business.In closing, we've devoted the last 12 years of our lives to providing the very best home for Coal and ensuring the very best care for him. It is so sad that our final act of kindness was such a disorganized mess and I'm left with serious doubts as to whether they were competent enough to even know if he was dead or not. We will never know if Coal was affected by what went on around him. We will never know if their incompetence caused him any pain. The only thing we do know for certain is that we are left with not only the tremendous pain of the loss of our dog, but the emotional scar from the guilt of having entrusted this business with the most important procedure of his life, only to have them make a mockery of it.
