Hampton Roads Veterinary Hospice & Integrative Medicine

My husband and I went back and forth regarding the decision to let our baby go...he had fought cancer for over a year and he fought hard. We finally knew when it was time and I was so very thankful for Hampton Roads Veterinary Hospice who visited our home, even in these uncertain times with Covid, they still offer this in home service. It was one of the hardest things we have had to do but being at home with our little Pug who has been a member of our family for 13 years made this so much easier for him. He always had anxiety and with them visiting our home we were able to offer the comfort of us holding him and talking to him through the process. It was not in any way an easy thing but we wanted what was best for him and so did they. We received a clay paw print with his name and later he was delivered back to us in his final little resting place along with a poem, paw prints on paper, and flower seeds to plant in his memory. We later received a hand written card signed by the staff...this personal touch is not offered in these times and Our family was so thankful.

One of the hardest decisions was putting our sweet dog down. It is very difficult and is a family member. Hampton Roads Vet provided us with an outstanding service and was nothing but professional and compassionate. Great job

As sad as the day was, Jeanette and Savanna were extremely patient, kind, and professional. The entire process starting with Katie in the office, helped us to grieve respectfully. Our fur baby will be greatly missed. Thank you for all your compassion and understanding.

Making the decision to let Dooley go was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made. After being somewhat traumatized by putting my childhood dog down in a cold, sterile vet's office, I knew I needed something different for Dooley. Dr. Cubelo was so kind and compassionate and helped me know that I was making the right and best choice for Dooley. I can't imagine the difficulty of having that job, but I know for a fact that the service you provide is a gift to those of us losing our companions. Thank you for walking with us through this difficult time.

Words can never properly express how grateful I am to have veterinarians who provide such a vital service in our community. My pet rat Chloe had become incredibly sick and instead of making the trip to a vet's office and traumatizing her in a cold room away from her sister, Dr. Schacher came to my house and peacefully let my girl go with kindness, compassion and dignity. These vets are the best and will treat your pets with the utmost respect. Highly recommend to anyone facing the difficult decision of letting their babies go peacefully.
