Easton Animal Hospital

They’ve been my vet for sixteen years now and continuing… Once you find “your” person/vet, stick with them! There are multiple doctors in this office and they are all nice, compassionate, and understanding. “My” vet especially, she has sat with me through good times and not so great times to talk things out with me. To figure out the best plan of action and tries her best to be sure I understand before I leave. She’s there for me at any moment I may have questions or concerns and gets back to me as soon as possible. (From the bottom of my heart, thank you 🫂)

I want to express my gratitude for the vets at Easton Animal Hospital with this story. My family came here from a different vet clinic yesterday after being treated with no compassion, understanding, or care, at a time when we were trying to figure out how to make one of the toughest decisions of our lives for our old pup. We just couldn’t fathom allowing our little guy’s final moments to be in that place with those people.

So, we brought our senior dog into Easton Animal Hospital yesterday to ultimately have him put to sleep. But we mainly just wanted a second opinion beforehand to make sure we were doing the right thing, as this was my family’s first pet, our only pet, and we’ve never had to go through this before. After seeing our dog, the doc told us something along the lines of, “I can’t tell you what the right decision is for your family, but I will tell you that the decision you’re thinking about making… would not be the wrong decision.” and told us if there was any chance of helping to push him through a little longer, he’d advise us in the other direction. He then proceeded to open up to us, sharing a similar personal experience he had with his family and his senior dog. There was so much compassion, understanding, and patience as we made that decision to say goodbye to our beloved dog of 18 1/2 years. This doctor and his validation, assurance, empathy, and compassion is exactly what we needed as a family in that moment.

Our first visit at EAH was also our last, for now. But this one single visit could not have been made any better for my family. Nothing, or no one, can prepare you for the loss of your pets. But the staff at Easton Animal Hospital were extremely comforting, patient and kind, and I just wanted to share this to let people know. Though heartbreaking and sad, I feel as though my family’s first experience here deserved to be shared. Thank you & Merry Christmas to all.
