Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is always a heartbreaking event. We have used veterinary clinics for our other pets, but regardless of how good the clinic is, if the dog has been a patient over the years, it develops a fear of the place. When our beloved little Boston Terrier, Maggie, reached the point where euthanasia was the most humane option, we scheduled with Dr. Killian. The procedure, from Dr. Killian’s arrival through his departure, with our dear little dog considerately wrapped in a blanket and arranged in a wicker basket, was as good as it can possibly be for an end of life procedure. Because Maggie never left her home, she never displayed any fear. Dr. Killian is the most compassionate veterinarian I have ever used. His demeanor is exceptionally calm and soothing. He spent time explaining each step prior to the administration of any drugs. He gave us ample time and privacy to say goodbye to Maggie at the end. I have been recommending Gentle Pet Passages whenever a friend has a pet nearing the end of life.
