I recently had to put my beloved Pitbull, who was my BEST FRIEND EVER in this ENTIRE WORLD (his name was Romeo) to sleep. Romeo had Cancer and recently took a sudden drastic turn for the worst. I couldn't bear to watch/allow my best friend [who'd been with me for 1/3 of my lifetime, and some of the ROUGHEST years of my life no less] to suffer...I knew I had to do something. I looked online and the Humane Society recommended St. Francis for this kind of situation...boy were they on-point with their recommendation!
From start to finish, everyone was SO compassionate and empathetic. The vet, Dr. Lyons, offered GENUINE condolences before she said ANYTHING else to me. I mean, it blew me away! Each person sweetly and gently and thoroughly explained every single thing that would take place before it did and even walked me through it AS it was taking place.
I elected to stay with Romeo until the end. Dr. Lyons was a-MAZING...SO kind, gentle, compassionate and empathetic - walking me through everything, step by step. When it was over, they gave me all the time I needed with Romeo.
I sit here in tears as I type this. I received a beautiful, personal card from St. Francis is the mail today, just offering condolences. It was personally signed by the whole staff. I'm just blown away by how they handled everything. I HIGHLY recommend this vet! They made the HARDEST thing I have EVER had to do in my en-TIRE LIFE as easy and as tolerable as it possibly COULD be, considering the circumstances. I thank GOD for helping me find them and I am SO grateful for everything they did me and Romeo.
Pros: Compassionate, Gentle and Empathetic
Cons: ZERO drawbacks!
