Testimonials
Our beloved 11 year old Lab had kidney failure and could no longer walk. We had to make the extremely heartbreaking decision to put her to sleep. My husband did not feel that he could be there, so I prayed for the strength to not break down during the process.
Having Dr. Christina come to our home was a blessing. She calmed me down by asking about our dog and the process was fast and very peaceful. Our dog, Liffey, was in her regular routine and her bed. I feel that this was the best possible solution for this very difficult situation.
I am thankful for Dr. Christina's gentle and caring manner.

Dear Dr. Christina,
I just wanted to write you a letter of thanks for helping Otis transition into his
next adventure. I had been dreading the day we would put our beloved dog down. He was
really my best friend and the sweetest animal I have ever met. My vet recommended that
when the time comes we put him to sleep at home. Dr. Christina you arrived and he greeted
you at the door with a wagging tail and then after we had our good byes you gave him
something to relax his body. I held him in my arms and told him how much he meant to me as
he gently passed away. It was peaceful and respectful. He never even twitched or moved
during the process. My ultimate choice would be to never let him age or die but since that
is not possible this is the next best thing. Thank you for being so gentle and patient with
him and with me. You let me listen to make sure there was no heartbeat and I loved how you
gently you handled his body even after he was gone.
Now that I have experienced what is possible, my first choice would always to say goodbye to my animals at home.
Thank you for your dedication to a very difficult calling.

Dr. Christina's kindness and assistance during Red's last days were invaluable. She answered all of our questions and concerns about a home euthanasia, and she was patient, compassionate and considerate. It was clear that our old dog accepted her immediately and trusted her. When we have time to make a choice, we would never do it any other way.
Because of Dr. Christina, Red was able to be at home in his own bed, with his family and the other pets. She brought the life of a wonderful companion to a peaceful end without the stress of a clinical environment. Her service also allowed us to plan a peaceful ceremony and grieve privately in our own way.
It takes a special kind of person to do the work she does, and we feel privileged to know her and have her care for our animals when we have to part with them.
With gratitude and blessings,
Penny & Michael Leisch
