Dr. Forslund,
Thank you again for helping us through another difficult loss. Your patience and compassion helped to make our loss more bearable.  There is a hole in our hearts and in our home now, with Chipper not being here.  It will take a while to get used to him not always being there, never failing to be there right when you needed him most. All of those times where we just sat with each other and he gave of himself, just by being there. Baby boy, I hope you are with Nikki, running, jumping, barking, chasing squirrels, and swimming in the ocean. We will never forget you. You will always be our little angel, Chipper Dipper Dudley Doo. Miss you so much...

Samantha, our beautiful chocolate lab, was not a pet. She was ultimately here on this earth to save me. I was in a hit-and-run car accident that left me in a coma for two years and paralyzed me as well. I fought hard to live and return, and all the time, Sammy was right there with me. She accepted me with her big brown eyes and gentle soul. She somehow knew I could not pick her up again in my arms and swim with her in the pool. Yet she continued to be my best friend.

Thank you so much for your warmth and attention to our Sammy and our family. When you walked in and Sammy wagged her tail and got up from the bed, it was as if she knew you were an Angel to come save her from distress. We know we gave her the best by having you manage her discomfort so Sammy could sleep and smile one last time.

With our deepest appreciation,

Hello Dr. Forslund,
Although we miss Libby terribly and still shed an occasional tear, we also are doing well knowing that availing ourselves of your services was the best decision we could have made for her. We are grateful for the nearly 16 years of companionship and joy. Libby’s confident personality, easy to live with habits, weak hunting skills, miniature size, stunning looks, and even the fact that she hardly shed a hair made her our perfect cat. She is irreplaceable.
As horrible as the experience of losing a beloved family member is, it was made much more tolerable by you. Your kindness, sensitivity, patience, and gentle nature were not wasted on us.

Warmest regards,
Paul Salatti & Darryl Saunders

Dear Dr. Forslund,
We are doing a lot better. Thanks to the whole experience with you we all were able to cope well. We rescued Chloe as a young dog from death row and got to spend 11 1/2 beautiful years with her.  She experienced the beginning of our marriage, the birth of our children and she saw them grow big. Our kids learned compassion, strength and patience from her. She lived a full life and died of old age, before things got too ugly. I hope I get to do that.
Thanks again for making the experience the best it can be for what it is.

How do I find the words to describe how wonderful the staff are at Home Pet Euthanasia? Thank you for helping our family through a difficult time.
Gidget was adopted in 1999 at 2 1/2 years, and she passed last month. She lived a full life. She was the ring bearer at our wedding. She watched her little brother grow to be 9 years old. I promised her she would not die in a vet hospital--alone, cold and without her family.
After a tearful phone call to Dr Annie, who spent an hour on the phone explaining quality of life and how a dog thinks during this time, I realized Gidget was just being brave for us. The following day, after a great last meal, I told her Dr. Annie was coming. She watched the sunset, full and happy; she even followed the sun around the house before coming inside. She passed with all of us holding her. She seemed to truly be at peace and out of pain.
For us, she was a sister, mother and companion, who will always have a place of honor in our hearts.

Molly was loyal, lovable, and playful. She knew when it was appropriate to assume the role of a guard dog, and at the same time she was the most adorable and affectionate canine there ever was. Molly was a perfect companion to our family. She can never be replaced, and we will live on with the most beautiful memories of her and our times on earth together.
Dr. Forslund, I believe you perform a wonderful service for families that love and value the relationships they have developed over the years with their pets.  More importantly, you come across to me as someone who sincerely cares about the families and pets you service while performing your duties as a doctor.
Thank you for all you do to make these trying times a bit easier to manage.

We had to say goodbye to our beautiful bulldog, Baz, on March 28, 2013. We are grateful for the 10 years we had with him: he was a gift to us. He helped us through tough times simply by being himself--he was our "love dog" and a great friend. Dr. Forslund was very kind, and her calm, reassuring demeanor helped to give Baz a peaceful, painless passing at home in his favorite comfy chair, surrounded by love and gentle words. Truthfully, I couldn't hope for a better end for myself.

Thank you,

Dallas was rescued from a dog shelter by my daughter. She called us up to say she bought a dog that has the same color hair as her: red, brown, black, and blond! Dallas had a sweet face and demeanor, reddish-brown fur, a black face, and a circle of black around her tail, which waved in the air like a feather. As she aged, the tail got lower and lower, but it still wagged. She was my best friend. Dr. Forslund is an angel who came into our lives when we needed someone to help us with Dallas. She did not feel like a stranger to us.  She showed compassion to us both, petting and getting to know Dallas and comforting me. It was so comforting to see Dallas go in a very dignified way. Thank you, Dr. Forslund!
