I really liked the fact that Dr. Forslund did not hurry us, she let us take time as much as we needed.

Madison was our beloved Yellow Labrador, our child before we had kids, and our amazing companion for almost 12 years. She and her littermate sister, Hana, and fellow pet cat, Rascal, brought so much joy to our house. Madison was happiest barreling into the waves at the beach and fetching whatever sticks she could find. She could read our emotions like a book, and provided us with unconditional love.

She was an intense personality and hated going to the vet. Dr. Forslund was very sensitive to our needs and allowed us to say goodbye to our sweet puppy in the comfort of our own home. Her sister, and companion kitty were able to say goodbye. This meant more than the world to us. It was our final gift to a dog who gave us more love than could ever be reciprocated. She finally had peace, and we now have peace knowing we did absolutely everything possible to make her happy.

Thank you again for helping us and sharing your knowledge, comfort, and support.

Toby was our baby and the love of our life. He was 5 weeks old the day the little guy entered into our world, only weighing a pound. On that day he had us wrapped around his little paw. Toby surely had a lot of personality and he filled every day with love and happiness. Toby returned his love in so many ways, always making each day special.

Thank you Dr. Forslund for being here for all of us. Not only you gave our Toby such loving care, you also thought of our little dog Travis and his feelings. Thanks to this, Travis is adjusting fine.

Toby passed on in a very loving and peaceful way and for that we are very grateful to Dr Forslund.

BJ becomes more and more of a wonderful lifetime memory than a painful recent loss. We're confident she got every day of life that was possible, and all but the last one or two were happy and healthy for her.

It certainly was the best way for us. I cannot imagine having to make that one-way trip to the vet, and even less the truly lonely drive home.

Thanks again and best,

P-Nut was a feral cat, but after she became my cat, she was the best and sweetest little girl in the world. I was devastated when she was diagnosed with cancer, and as she got worse I knew I had to do something...

I called Dr Forslund, whom I had used before for my very old cat Boots, and as she was the first time, Dr. Forslund was wonderful and helped to make such a sad sad day better. I have other cats, and if the day should arise, I will, of course, call Dr. Forslund: she cares.

Oki taught us many lessons throughout her 12 ½ years of life on how to live and love. She lived every day with a purpose and loved us courageously, without regard for her own well-being.
We nicknamed Oki "little shadow" because she would never leave the side of Mom, following closely behind everywhere Mom went. We will miss Oki dearly, but she'll live in our memory forever.
Dr. Forslund, I can't thank you enough for your service and how kind and patient you were during the whole process.

Cameloo

Cameloo was a very special companion that came into our lives and she accepted us with joy as we did with her. Loving and happy memories do take over as time passes and that is a blessing.

Thank you for your compassion and love you gave us during our difficult time of letting Cameloo go. You made the transition so much more humane for our girl and I will always be so grateful.

Gina was born in 2000. She was absolutely beautiful and she knew it! She accompanied the family when we moved to the United States from South Africa. She was such a brave trooper and had no problem claiming the new environment as her own. She was featured in a few magazines as well as calendars in South Africa and here in the United States.

Thank you once again Dr. Forslund for making such a difficult time so much easier. Your help allowed Gina to pass painlessly and without stress in the spot where she loved spending time. This peaceful way that we parted from her will definitely help our family to mourn her in a positive and respectful manner.
Thank you,

Buddy

Dr. Forslund,

I wanted to thank you again on behalf of Buddy and my family for coming out to see us today. I also would like to acknowledge the person who returned my call this morning, he was very sensitive and kind over the phone. After hearing that you would be able to come see us today, especially on such short notice, it was such a relief and that sick feeling of returning to the unfamiliar surroundings of our Vet's office went away. The service you provided for us was truly a blessing.

I am at peace knowing Otis is at rest and had a loving a gentle transition. I am so very thankful you were there for both me and him. What a wonderful service you provide. Thank you again.

Otis: A Forever Friend, loyal to the end!

Kathy and I chose not to have kids of our own. Kodiak "Kodi" was our child. I retired 8 years ago when Kodi came into my life. We spent every minute of every single day together. This has been the best 8 years of my life!

When I spoke to you I knew just through a simple phone conversation that you were the person we needed during this tough time. You have a gift for what you do and a beautiful aura that I cannot exactly put into words.

Thank you so much for gracing my family with your beautiful spirit.

Much Love,

Simon was born in my bedroom closet. It's where he chose to take his daily catnaps. When he became ill, he spent increasingly more time there. One week before his 14th birthday, Dr. Forslund, my roommate and I gathered in the same closet to put him to rest.

Deciding whether it was the right time to let Simon go was a struggle for me. Dr. Forslund spent much time helping me sort through my fears so that I would feel secure in my final decision.

Thank you, Dr. Forslund, for doing such a difficult and important job in such a loving and nurturing manner. After our experience with you, we would never consider any other way.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Carole Sinason and Rachelle Visconte

Bailey was the first dog I bonded to in a special way. This was the first dog that felt truly part of my life. She was loving, she would sleep at the bedroom door where she could watch all comings and goings and was quick to inform us if something was happening, she would come tell us if one of the kids was acting up or in trouble. She was a beautiful dog to look at and seemed to be smiling always.

Dr. Forslund, I was pleased with your service to the extent anyone having to make the choice could be pleased. You have a calming nature that was most beneficial at a time when anxiety was getting the better of us. You couldn't have been a better choice to help us with this. I'm glad you came ... You where the right choice. You are an angel.

Thank You again.

From the moment I first saw Koby curled up in my daughter's lap with his chin on her knee, up until his last days, Koby has given nothing but love and devotion to our family. He was so adored in return.

Dr. Forslund’s kindness, tenderness, patience and thorough explanation of what to expect before hand, made things much easier than we thought. Also, lengthily telephone consultations before hand when needed - interpreting our needs when we could not articulate them, helped us a lot through this process.

Dr. Forslund's quiet demeanor made me feel relaxed and her patient and sensitive treatment of Scooter was appreciated by me as well. Thank you again for the wonderful service you provide to animals and the humans that love them - you are truly appreciated.

Dr. Forslund explained everything about the procedure and put us at ease. Having the procedure done at the comfort of our home is what made a huge difference to us and our dear Gizzy.
