If you are reading this, I know you are in a very difficult place. Wherever you are, I hope soon you will find peace and understanding. I know you are also worried about your pet, and potentially also about what will happen to his/her body, and who will take care of them, so I am taking the time to write this review, and reassure you that Dr. Janie will take the best care of your pet. Dr. Janie is an exceptional vet with a huge heart, and she uses a pet crematorium whom I have since researched intensively. They are respectful and kind, so let this be one less worry at the moment. One of the most difficult things I've had to do is decide to end the suffering of my little kitty, who had large-cell lymphoma, a disease with a terrible prognosis. I owed it to him to make his passing as easy as possible, to repay the innumerable times he comforted us when we were sad or sick. Unfortunately, his lymphoma progressed quickly, so I frantically called as many vets as possible, and Dr. Janie was the first available. We called the night before, and she arrived promptly at 9am the next morning. She was thoughtful enough to text us right before she left, and told us about how long it would take for her to arrive. I really appreciated that, as we could really spend all our energies comforting Uly, instead of waiting on someone. Dr. Janie was so kind, and so empathetic when she arrived. I could see that she truly had room in her heart for all pets and their guardians. I appreciate that she got payment out of the way in an unobtrusive manner right at the beginning, so that it wouldn't be an awkward thing hanging over our heads later. I was also touched that she sat on the floor with us (we were keeping our cat company under the bed where he felt safe), without any hesitation at all. She then gently described to me and my husband exactly what would happen, and led us through the process on our own time, but also respecting the needs of our poor suffering Uly. I think seeing him relax and feel good again more before passing made it a little easier, so I appreciate that she takes the time first to administer a pain reliever. Afterwards, she gave us some time to be alone with him, to say our final goodbyes and thank him for being such a good friend. She provided a soft blanket for him to be transported in. She gave us the option to carry his body to her car, and she strapped him in a stretcher so his body wouldn't get tossed around while being transported. I think these details really show just how much thought Dr. Janie had put into her practice. Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is truly one of the most heartbreaking experiences, and all I cay say is that I felt safe leaving my little guy in Dr Janie's very capable, honest, and caring hands. We should all be so lucky to pass away at home, wrapped in our favorite blanket, with a kind doctor such as Dr. Janie looking out for us. Read Less
