Pets at Peace

Our cat deteriorated very rapidly and unexpectedly over three days so we didn't have much time to plan ahead for an in-home euthanasia vet. Dr Arnold was able to see us on very short notice and came literally at the right moment when our cat was ready to cross Rainbow Bridge. He is very experienced, he has a background in Emergency Vet Medicine, and he is able to exert calm and a sense of organization in what could otherwise be a very painful and chaotic hour. He anticipated the more uncomfortable moments of the process and took steps to minimize undue stress for both pet parents and the pet, giving space and letting us take our time at all the right moments. He also understood well the ritual aspect of saying goodbye to a loved ones and always checked in with us about our preferences. As a human physician myself, I can confidently rate Dr Arnolds bedside manner and professionalism A++. He made our cat comfortable very quickly and while the 24 hours leading up to her death were rough, after Dr Arnolds visit we felt relieved and secure in our decision. He did a number of extras to memorialize our fur baby, giving us some of her fur shavings in a pretty bottle and making some expert paw print castings in clay for us. He goes the extra mile. His pricing was fair and reasonable, consistent with the rates in our area, and I felt our money well spent. He also reminded us to send the euthanasia invoice to our pet insurance provider which I would've completely forgotten about. He's very thoughtful and I highly recommend him when that difficult time comes to say goodbye.

On September 8 Dr. Arnold came to our home and made a very hard and heart wrenching decision much easier. He is not only very professional but very compassionate and really understanding and gives you the time that you need to let go. I have lost pets in the past But this one was calm it was so beautiful to hold my baby boy who passed away from cancer. The reassuring words the kindness from this doctor I can’t express enough how much he made this work in a way that I never thought could be as peaceful as it was. There was no stress on my dog just treats and love it was a way that my whole family could be around a Huckleberry that absolutely was loved by all his sister was there and his other pals Roxy and Yoda. Everybody got to say goodbye wasn’t scary but it was sad. Being able to pick up his ashes everything being taken care of and he even made an extra paw print for my grandson. I can’t say enough about this Veterinarian he’s an angel Helping our dogs to crossover the rainbow bridge. Thank you again Dr. Arnold will never forget you

Words can't express how much we appreciated having Dr Arnold provide end of life services for our beloved family member. I couldn't ask for a kinder, more compassionate, more soothing vet than Dr Arnold. He reassured us through every step of the process and was incredibly sensitive and patient. He had a very calming presence and both our dogs were relaxed around him. I wish I could give him 10 stars.
