Equine and small animal care is consistent, state of the art, and practical and affordable.

Our 17-year-old cat, Waffles, was euthanized at this clinic in May 2026. What has been most difficult for us was not the euthanasia itself, but the lack of communication surrounding it. We were told that our cat would be taken briefly to the treatment area for catheter placement and then returned to us so we could spend as much time with her as we wanted before euthanasia. At no point were we informed that she would be given a sedative or anesthetic medication beforehand. When she was returned to us, she was unresponsive and no longer able to interact with us. We later learned that propofol had been administered prior to her return. Had we been informed that medication capable of rendering her unconscious would be given, we would have made different decisions about how to spend her final conscious moments. I contacted the clinic the following day and was told the matter would be discussed with the practice owner and that I would receive a follow-up. Despite a phone conversation and a formal written letter, I never received a response. Pet parents deserve clear communication during one of the most difficult moments they will ever face. We are sharing our experience because we do not want another family to unknowingly lose the opportunity to say goodbye to their pet while they are still conscious and aware. Equally concerning was the clinic's response afterward. Despite being told that our concerns would be discussed with the practice owner and that we would receive follow-up, we never heard back. For a clinic that supports families through end-of-life decisions, this lack of accountability, communication, and compassion is deeply troubling.
