    Thank you so much for taking care of our boys (Hunter and Ty) during the most difficult day of our lives. Your kindness made that day a little lighter for Frank and I.
    We are so glad we found you, not just for that day, but for all you have done for Hunter. It's so nice to have you as our vet and as our friends!
    Thanks again!!"
  • "Karen,
    I just wanted to thank you for taking care of Sadie. And for taking care of me. Even the closest people to me who I thought were friends turned their backs on me in my darkest times - but you didn't. I do have bad luck. However, I could not have made it through without your help. You have helped me on several occasions and I will forever be thankful. If there is anything I can ever do to help you, please let me know. Thanks so much!"
