My beloved Onyx went to the Rainbow Bridge at the end of February, but I have to say that everyone at Deer Grove, as always, went above and beyond what anyone could possibly expect in order to help make the loss as soft as it could be. I will never have another Onyx and I will treasure the 15 years that I shared with him. Luckily, I do not have any regrets. I know that the caring team at Deer Grove did all they could to save him. Unfortunately, no matter what we could do, in the end his quality of life and pain were too much to bear and I had to make the hardest choice a pet parent can ever do....to give them the gift of freedom.
I had taken my Furbaby, my Onyx (who was an amazing Maine Coon/Ragdoll combo) to see Erin over the past years. Not once was there not immense care and concern shown, for both my kitty and for my well being. I have never been to another veterinary clinic such as you will find here. Erin and all of the team at Deer Grove are very skilled and yet make you feel like you are with family while you are there. I could go on and on about the love and commitment they have for their furry patients, as well as for their concerned fur-parents.
During the last few months of my Onyx's life, the staff and Erin, went to great lengths, including staying open late, moving around schedules in order to fit Onyx in, and to calling back to check on Onyx and I after some extremely hard and emotionally painful visits. I truly could not thank them enough for all of the effort they put into helping us in our time of need. Erin even came out to my home to help make putting Onyx to sleep, less stressful and more peaceful for Onyx and I. That day, though heartbreaking and devastating, was soothed by her deep compassion and care for Onyx and I, the exact same and more so even, that she had always shown us over the years. That is exactly the reason why I brought my new kitten, Ariana, to meet Erin and the team at Deer Grove earlier this week. I could not imagine anyone else providing care for my new furbaby but them!
I would recommend Deer Grove to any pet parent who is looking for skill and compassion rolled into one. This is the place!Read Less
