Letting our sweet boy go was a difficult and tragic decision. He had been sick for months. We had been advised that he would let us know when it was time, and he did. We watched him get skinny, weak and slow but he continued to have a smile on his face and a sparkle in his eye. When those disappeared, we knew we were doing him a disservice by not helping him pass peacefully. We knew it would be hard on him to be loaded into the car and driven to a vet office. Plus, who wants to wait in the reception area waiting to be called back when you know what is going to happen next? So, we called Dr. Fixler's office and made an appointment for that afternoon. He and his assistant came to our house and were so sweet and kind to our boy, and to us. They reassured us that we were making the right decision and that "Tex" was ready to go. They made the process as seamless and compassionate as possible They also made sure that our other dog had an opportunity to say his good bye's.
After being through this at home and comparing it to when we had to do it at the vet's office with a prior pet years ago - this was the ideal way to say good bye and the ideal way for our boy to head off to the Rainbow Bridge.
We very much appreciate Dr. Fixler and are happy to recommend him to anyone facing this situation.
