Endorsements

Thanks to you, Tipper’s passing was painless and compassionate. My fears of facing his death were vanquished, when you helped us both with his passing. Because you came to our home, he was able to be free of fear at the end, and stay his own sweet self. I can’t thank you enough!

Boos-Kittie-Chong

Thank you Dr. Katie for helping us with a very difficult decision. Our precious one went peacefully.

We’ll never forget him.

It has been just over a month since you came out to our house for Aladdin. I had been meaning to write something sooner, but we have been coming to terms with a whole lot of change.

I did however want to say that your service was something I had not expected. It definitely helped us to accept what needed to be done. Additionally, it left us knowing we not only did the right thing, but able to remember our Aladdin without to many tears.

I honestly feel that had it not been for your service, we wouldn’t have been ready to open our house again for a long time. As it turns out, we had decided to bring a donation of dog food to a shelter that was in need of it. While doing that, we found a fox terrier mix that needed a good place to live. She’s overly timid having been a rescue from a hording situation, but I see a lot of personality under that shyness. We are picking her up this weekend.

It seems I have a few friends that are getting close to being in a similar situation, and I have definitely expressed my support of your home service. I even included it in my farewell post for him I wrote the day after.

Again, thank you for such a wonderful service. The paw prints you made for us are in shadow boxes and sitting on our mantle right now.

One year ago today, you came to my home to help my kitty, Jasper, on to the next chapter of his adventure. It was too hard for me to thank you properly at the time, but today seemed like an appropriate day to let you know just how much I appreciate your kindness and help.

Just ten days ago, we had to put Anastasia to sleep (I don’t know if you remember us or not – she was the white one with the black nose) and I wished fiercely that we still lived in Madison for you to come help see her off as well. Here in California, it is a whole different beast for in home euthanasia ($500!!!) and, sadly, I had to take her in to the vet.

Snuffy

Our dog Snuffy was so sick when we made the heart breaking decision to put her down. Dr. Hilst was gentle and caring with Snuffy during her final hour. Being able to say goodbye in the comfort of our own home meant a lot to me.
