Mr. Peepers was healthy much of his life, even though slightly over the ideal weight. 

I lay in bed July 30, 2000, hearing a cat meow below the window. I went downstairs to find the cat, but didn’t succeed.  Putting some dry cat food on the sidewalk, I checked back a few hours later to find the food had been eaten. As I put some more food down, a Russian Blue mix cat ran to me, jumping up to put his two front-paws on my left shoulder; this turned out to be his favorite way to get around. Because of a low sound he made, he was named Mr. Peepers.

Dr. Forslund, Thanks for all you do...

The home euthanasia process was the best it could be. I was able to have Snoopy with me, and have friends around. It was the best way to have her go in peace and let me mourn her loss. I miss her every day, but I know she is better off where she is now. The others were also able to say their goodbyes which was important to me. She will always hold a special place in my heart.

Snoopy was such a large and beautiful part of my life. As you know I have the other pups that were her litter mates, but Snoopy always had a special place. She missed me most when I was gone, slept with me, and was such a sweetheart. She became my partner in crime, and went everywhere.  I was able to make her a service animal and she would bring joy to all of those around her...

Thank you,

I chose Home Pet Euthanasia, Dr. Forslund and her team, to release our Louie from his pain.  Thank you Dr. Forslund for your kindness and compassion.

Louie was suffering from renal failure.  Riding in the car and going to the vet was his two least favorite things to do. We didn't want his last memory to be the terror of the veterinary's office. It was a very sad and emotional day for us, so putting Louie down in this peaceful was was the most dignified way for all us us.

Hello Dr. Forslund,

Thank you so much for reaching out to us. We appreciate your compassion during a difficult time in our lives. We are so grateful for you and your services.

Nox was such a wonderful dog and we feel it was truly a gift to be able to say goodbye to him at home, surrounded by our family and three other dogs. Thank you so much for allowing us this opportunity. We will certainly miss our gentle giant. Seven years wasn't nearly long enough to have with him. Everywhere we went, people would recognize him and ask if he was "Nox the Giant Schnauzer." He was truly a joy to have. Because of you his passing was peaceful and he is no longer suffering. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and God bless.

Regards,

Dear Dr. Annie,

I would like to thank you for the compassion you gave to us during the most difficult time of our lives. I've never been through this process before and I was grateful that you made me feel at peace with the process. The work that you do is a Godsend. I am so grateful that I was able to let my Mickey pass in the comfort of his home and in my arms. Thank you for showing every animal such care and compassion.  

I bought Mickey 9 years ago, in Tucson, AZ. He was my first dog. He was my everything. My source of unconditional love, my clown, my hunter, my explorer, my travel partner, and my joy. Mickey was the strongest, bravest, loving soul. I am grateful for you Dr. Annie, for making this wonderful soul's passing so peaceful and calm. I will always miss my little boy. I am happy that I could do this for him in his time of need. Thank you ever so much for what you do.

Dear Dr. Forslund,

Thank you for all that you have done for us and all you have offered. We could not have let her go with peace of heart without Dr. Julie being so gentle and kind not only to Rocky for to the three of us - yet, laughing with us when we needed it the most. We are forever grateful and will never forget what a blessing that day was. We have recommended you to all our friends and family that will one day have to make this decision also. 

Rocky was a part of our family for 14 years and has left an irreplaceable hole in our hearts. Rocky..."My heart did not understand unconditional love until I met you. You've helped me heal, you've helped me flourish.  You have such a beautiful soul and I am so honored to have had you as my fluffy best friend. You mean the world to me Rocky. I know you're running your sprints and flying in heaven now with no pain to hold you back. I love you sweet girl. Rest In Peace Rocky. We will meet again my love."

I have no words to express how truly wonderful Dr. Annie was when she came to my home to assess my baby boy. She is an angel who walks on this earth. I've never met a more compassionate, loving, caring, person whose heart truly walked into my home before she did. 

My heart is shattered by losing my Mitty, yet with Dr. Annie by my side and my baby's side with her incredible patience and understanding and compassion, it made my devastating decision and loss easier than I could ever have imagined. I can't thank her enough. Truly, there are no words. Thank you, Dr. Annie, beyond the stars and back. You are truly an angel. Thank you for taking such good care of my Mitty and of me.  You are absolutely the BEST!

I am so grateful for HPE and the love and support that we both received during Goose's final day. He passed at home, on his own bed, surrounded by the people and pups he loved, and who loved him. The compassionate care extended to us during a most difficult time was so appreciated. There are not enough words to adequately express my gratitude and respect for the support that you and your team provided.

Goose was such a sweet and beautiful boy that was able to charm everyone who met him. He had been my constant companion for 7 years and I am so grateful that he came into my life. My Goose was family. He was here for such a brief time. Saying goodbye to my sweet boy was one of the hardest things I have had to do. 

Thank you!
