When I look into the eyes of an animal, I do not see an animal. I see a living being. I see a friend. I feel a soul.

What Our Pet Owners Say
Dr. Kruse is my aunt and godmother, this means I have insider knowledge of the kindness, thoughtfulness and love she possesses for creatures of the world. Outside of being family members I know from many conversations with community members that she shows the same level of dedication to most anyone she meets and cares for, pets and their people alike. She knows personally the heartache and crushing weight of saying goodbye to a pet and shows that in the compassion and approach to caring for animals in their last moments. To have the opportunity to say goodbye to your closest fur friends in the comfort of their home and with her gentle approach is a gift of immeasurable value. On the day we said goodbye to my best boy, Dr. Kruse provided calm guidance and freedom to say goodbye in a way that honored the gift he was to our lives.

My two horses, Savanah and Abkeno were euthanized just a few months apart from each other. They were best buddies. Savanah was euthanized in May and Abkeno was in September. It wasn’t planned that way. Savanah suffered from cushing and layed down and didn’t have enough strength to stand up. Lauren came out and gave here a tranquilizer to relax her and then she euthanized her. I was with Savanah the whole time. Savanah didn’t thrash at all. It was very peaceful. Abkeno suffered from periodontal disease and a very bad case of thrush. She needed to be put down because she was in a lot of pain. Lauren came out and she was very kind giving me time to say my goodbyes. Lauren gave her something to relax her before she was euthanized. I recommend Lauren, she is kind and thoughtful and patient with her clients giving them time to grieve and say goodbye.

Our spunky Swisher was unfortunately diagnosed with Lymphoma, at the age of 7. He fought long and hard through Chemo,even though it meant he had to make a trip to the vet several times a month. The time came when we had to make the extremely difficult decision to say goodbye to our sweet boy. Due to his anxiety and stress with going to the vet, we decided in home euthanasia was best for him. Swisher left this world peacefully surrounded by his family, our 1 year old son, whom he loved dearly and his best friend, our other dog, Onyx. Dr. Lauren Kruse came to our home one evening in March of 2020 to help us say goodbye to our Swisher. Although sad, the experience was peaceful as our boy crossed over the rainbow bridge. Dr. Kruse was compassionate and caring from the moment she entered our home. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to say goodbye to our boy. Without Dr Kruse and her sincere and gentle love, this experience wouldn’t have been possible. We thank her greatly for giving us this special time during his last moments on earth.

Dr. Kruse helped me to navigate the end of life of my 10-year old Catahoola mix dog. After 8 months or so dealing with leukemia, she walked me through some criteria to help me decide when it was time to end his suffering. Although the decision was hard, the criteria helped. She also walked me through the process beforehand so when the decision was made to end it, I knew what to expect. This allowed me to focus on the last moments with him and know that all was being done to make the process the least invasive as possible and make the last moments comfortable.
