We recently had to say goodbye to our dog Maizy of 16 years, and I can't imagine having gone through it with anyone else. She'd been with us since she was a puppy, so this was never going to be easy, but the compassion Dr. April brought into our home made it as gentle as it could possibly be.
From the moment Dr. April arrived, it was clear she genuinely cared. She took the time to get to know my dog's story, how she came into our lives and the history we'd shared and shared a bit about herself too, which made the experience feel personal rather than clinical. She walked us through exactly what to expect, then gave us space and time alone with our girl before anything happened, which meant more than I can say.
What stood out most was how she struck the perfect balance: warm and friendly, but also honest and grounded. She didn't just tell us what we wanted to hear, she was truthful about it, and somehow that honesty, delivered with so much care, is what helped me feel at peace with the decision. Like I wasn't just being comforted, I was being supported by someone who clearly does this work with both skill and a full heart.
I'll miss my dog Maizy. But I'm grateful this part of it was handled by someone so compassionate, who treated her, and us, like we mattered. Can't recommend Dr. April enough.
