Testimonials

“Dr. Feeley’s at-home service truly has been a gift to our family’s pets over the years. Her compassion, expertise, and soothing manner turned a difficult time into a comforting memory. All of us gathered around our ailing pets and they were safe, calm, and, most importantly, in their own familiar home during their final hours. We are so grateful for this service and for Dr. Feeley’s devotion to all animals.”

"Our first experience of having a dog put down occurred in a clinic. We brought the dog into the waiting room and a vet tech took her from us into the back and we left crying. For the second and third dogs, when the time came we were so fortunate to have Dr. Gayle Feeley come to our home. After asking where the dog’s favorite place to be was, she lay a waterproof pad there. Speaking softly she eased the dog down on the pad. With my husband and I on either side of our sweet dog she administered a sedative and as we patted her and spoke to her our dog drifted off to sleep. Although it is very painful to have to say goodbye to a beloved pet, we were comforted in being by her side to the end. It was a soft and gentle passing thanks to Dr. Feeley’s loving care for the dog and ourselves."

"It is a difficult decision to make - that end-of-life choice for your beloved pets - but to be able to do so in the comfort of their home makes it a bit more bearable. Dr. Feeley provides kind and compassionate care, knowing the heartache you feel. We were able to say goodbye over the years to our cats Arthur, Bailey, Ty, and Willie, lying in my arms, being loved and finding their lasting peace in the home they called their own. Dr. Feeley wants the best for your pet and, fortunately, has made home euthanasia available so that time is less fretful for them and you. I am thankful for her support in the past when it came unexpectedly as well as when old age says it's time. And I am thankful Dr. Feeley will continue to provide me this choice in the future.

"One of the most difficult, heart-wrenching decisions that a pet owner can make is letting their pet go… First, there is the 'Am I doing it for them or for me?' internal dialog.  When you put selfishness aside and let love take over and decide they deserve better than to continue suffering, what then?  We couldn’t bear to bring our beloved dogs into a place they were afraid of... a vet’s office. We couldn’t bear to have bright lights, cold steel tables, and maybe even not be there for them.  So, we were so incredibly lucky to find Dr. Gayle. She came into our house (on two different occasions for two different dogs). They were in their familiar beds, cuddling their favorite toys, surrounded by those who loved them.  I thought it would be painful to watch.  I actually thought I couldn’t bear to watch. But her knowledge of them, their trust in her, and her genuine compassion created something precious. They just fell peacefully asleep. They experienced no fear in their last moments; only love. What a gift she is. What compassion she embodies. Thank you, Dr. Gayle Feeley, for making the most difficult decision something so memorable. And, for bringing our precious pups home to us again after cremation.

"Dr. Feeley has put six of our wonderful dogs down. Two were done at the clinic she worked and four at home. I am sure our pets would agree that at home is the most peaceful and relaxing for all concerned. From the moment she arrives at your residence she puts you at ease, as well as giving the animal a sedative. She will then take the time to talk about all the good times you have had with your pet. When it’s time, Dr. Feeley will then administer the drug that will gently euthanize the pet, all the time being at home in its favorite bed or under a favorite tree instead of on a hard cold table with strangers. Your pet knows you are there and it is with its family that has loved and cared for them for all these years. We would have it no other way."
