Dr.Sheperd was able to accommodate my sweet dog's rapid decline. I could not have asked for a gentler guide for the process. His home service & comforting presence cushioned the trauma of losing her, and he helped me rationalize my fears of her departure process. Thank you for releasing my angel in comfort & dignity.
I have had to send many pets over the rainbow bridge through the years but the experience with Dr Shepherd was by far the best. From the very informative website to the gentle and kind manner in which our beloved Golden Retriever was handled was beautiful. Thank you Dr Shepherd...RIP Mako❤️
Words can’t express the sense of peace that we experienced as a family to watch our Firecracker pass away. He went peacefully with dignity and respect. Dr. Sheppard treated our beloved dog as a pet of his own. He was patient, loving, and so supportive. In addition he appeased us. He answered all of our questions and reassured us that we had made the right decision in euthanizing our beloved dog. Thank You 🙏🏽
Today, we faced one of the hardest moments of our lives — saying goodbye to our beautiful Bella. After calling several places, we found Dr. Shepherd , and I truly believe we were guided to him for a reason. His compassion, gentleness, and the love he showed our girl were more than we could have ever asked for. He treated Bella as if she were his own, giving us endless patience, space, and comfort as we held her for the last time. In the middle of our heartbreak, his kindness brought us a small piece of peace. We are forever grateful for the way he helped us say goodbye to our sweet Bella. Thank you again
Dr. Shepherd is the most compassionate, gentle, and kind person you will ever meet. Even at our most difficult moment, he made us comfortable and got us to laugh as we told wonderful stories of our beautiful baby. Dr. Shepherd made the whole process gentle and thoughtful. He took his time, and allowed us to have as much as we needed. There is no easy way to say goodbye to a loved one, but Dr. Shepherd helped us to do so in the most loving way. Saying goodbye is the worst part of having a pet, but Dr. Shepherd will make it part of the amazing journey that you shared, and you will be left with some lovely keepsakes. We highly recommend reaching out when the time comes. Thank you Dr. Shepherd for helping Tiger pass peacefully in out arms, in her favorite spot at home.
We recently needed the services of Bridges In-Home Euthanasia for our almost 14 yr old Shepherd-Lab mix. Dr. Shepherd was so patient, kind, gentle and thoughtful during this difficult and emotional time for my husband and I. His veterinarian experience reassured us that, from a medical standpoint, we weren’t second-guessing ourselves about Lily’s needs. We are forever grateful to Dr. Shepherd for his compassion and professionalism.
Our experience with Bridges Veterinary Care was as pleasant as it could be, under the circumstances. Dr. Shepherd was very calm, soft spoken, and patient which helped the situation tremendously. Being able to be at home in our pet’s familiar territory, was ideal and comforting for all involved. I highly recommend this service.
Dr Sheppard was amazing and compassionate. It was a difficult decision to determine if this was the right time but having Dr Sheppard there made us realize that it was time. In home euthanasia was peaceful and took away some of the stress of going to a vet hospital. Bridges in-Home Euthanasia really helped us out in our time of need.
Dr. Shepherd was amazing. I couldn’t have asked for such a peaceful experience with having to let my 17-year-old cat, Meko, go. Meko was always nervous and uncomfortable going to the vet. Dr. Shepherd came right to the house so Meko could feel comfortable in his home during his last moments. It was one of the most sad experiences I’ve ever had to go through, but Dr Shepherd made us feel no pressure and gave us as much time as we needed through the process to grieve and say goodbye. He provided us with clay paw prints that our children could keep and he gave us some fur that we will hold on to and cherish forever. We also were amazed on how fast we were able to receive Meko’s ashes back.
Dr. Shepherd was so amazing and kind. He made a very sad process as peaceful as possible. He communicated each step of the process. He is very patient, there is no rush, and he was wonderful with our daughter as this was her first experience saying goodbye. I would recommend his services when the time comes to say goodbye to your fur baby.
