I took my 23 y.o. cat to the McDowell Mountain Animal Hospital today hoping to euthanize her. Being 23, she far surpassed her life expectancy and was showing signs of complications due to old age. Dr. Candice Emerson and her staff could not have been gentler and more compassionate to my cat and to me. Naturally, I was upset but Dr. Emerson handled the situation with great care and respect for my frail cat. She allowed me to be with my cat through the whole process. The total charges were reasonable. I strongly recommend this animal hospital, Dr. Emerson and her staff.
