What pet parents are saying

De. Whala was incredibly empathetic and compassionate. She took the time to thoroughly examine my cat and assure me that it was time. She took great care to see that he was feeling no pain or discomfort throughout the procedure.

Dr. Whala came to the house to put my beautiful daughter to sleep. Because of how well she was doing she helped me with putting her in palliative care. She is patient, takes her time discussing your pets care and was willing to answer any and all questions. So grateful for her help and when the time comes I know my beautiful girl is in good hands.

I cannot speak enough praise over the kindness and compassion Dr. Karen showed to myself and my family during such a difficult time. Even though we are so sad to have lost a beloved member of our family we are so grateful for the dignified death she was provided.

Dr Whala was simply the most compassionate and caring veterinarian that I have ever met. The entire process was so soothing and Dr Whala was calm as she talked me through the process. Thank you Dr Whala

Dr. Karen not only spoke to me with care and understanding but spoke to my dog with love and care. Truly the best service to provide to your pets after the years of loyalty and love they’ve given you. Can’t recommend this service and Dr. Karen enough.
