We had to put our dog down this morning after 16yrs of having him in the family. It was very hard to watch him suffer and at the same time want to keep him around a little bit longer. The vet was so kind and empathetic to our needs. My husband took losing Rocky very hard, Rocky was his Moms dog and she passed in January. The staff there made us a mold of Rockys paws and did not charge what the other places were charging. We are so grateful for the service we got this morning. God bless this business
