A Gentle Goodbye

Rue

"While giving Rue her last camp trip (her favorite thing ever) she took a turn for the worse. Came to a family member’s farm in Bend and called Dr. Hays, who was able to come out within a few hours. Being from out of state, we were worried about finding help. She was quiet, respectful & compassionate. Exactly what we needed, as we knew what to expect. So grateful to find the right person to peacefully & gently help Rue end her cancer ordeal.
100% recommend.”

Linguini

"When we reached out to Dr. Hays about our 19 year old cat Linguini, we were unsure about knowing when to call her to come. She sent us information about quality of life and a pain scale which was so helpful that when we made the call, we felt at peace with our decision. Having her come to our home was the best decision! Linguini was terrified of going to the vet and we did not want our fur baby's last moments to be fearful. Dr. Hays was so patient with all my questions and let us know what to expect during the process. Her calm and kind manner made the worst day a little more bearable.”

~Nina Y., 2024

Orsino

"Like most people who love their pets, I’ve had to put down my beloved babies in the past. This was by far the best experience, considering the situation, I could ever have hoped for. Dr. Libby Hays helped me let go of my 18 year old Pomeranian, Orsino, nearly three years ago and the memory sticks with me still like it was yesterday.

I had hoped that my little bear could make it a few more days after we discovered that he was battling renal failure, but the next morning I realized that was self-deception and his time was right then and there. I call Libby in a panic, crying and inconsolable."

"Karin and Dr. Libby are a compassionate team who helped me with my 12.5 year old Golden who lived a wonderful life. They were caring, helpful and understanding during a super difficult time. Thank you.”

Oscar

"My husband and I were so grateful there was an at-home euthanasia service available in our area. Dr. Hays made the entire visit to our home a low stress, calming experience for us and our beloved Oscar. She was well prepared and made a difficult time as easy as it could have possibly been. Rest in Peace, Oscar."

~Debra S., 2023

Coil

"Dr. Hays helped us say goodbye to our old boy in the comfort of our own home. It was time and we were able to schedule the appointment on a Friday afternoon. We chose to transport our boy to the crematorium, but she also offered that as part of the service. I wanted as much time with him as possible. The whole process was calm, quiet and quick. Our other pups were allowed to be in the room with no issue. Thank you for making his final vet appointment as easy as possible."

~ Sarah T., 2021

Hunter

"A shining light in the darkest of hours. Helped our lab cross the River Styx and sent him on his journey chasing chipmunks in the sky. Prompt, COMPASSIONATE, gentle. Thank you, Mobile Cat & Dog Vet. Though the pain strikes deep, he went with dignity and love in the outdoors he loved so much! "

~John H., 2023

Mae

"Dr. Hays not only returned a call promptly, she also managed to get us on her schedule within hours to help transition our dying dog in the most professional, courteous, and compassionate manner possible. She came extremely prepared, which helped make everything go smoothly and as non-traumatic as possible. As a previous vet tech and being on this side countless times, I can say that the option to euthanize at home where the pet experiences no undue stress is an unbelievable difference for, most importantly the pet, and its people. It was a very calm experience."

~ Eyal G., 2019

Smokey

"When our cat’s quality of life was deteriorating quickly and our vet could not see him for a few days, Dr. Hays was there the same day to help ease his suffering. She was kind and professional in an incredibly devastating situation and we’re grateful we got to say goodbye in the comfort of our own home. No one prepares you for these moments, thank you Dr. Hays for being there for us."

~ Emily H., 2021

Junebug

"This woman is an angel. She made the process so much easier!!! Even on Christmas Eve, she came to our home and was wonderful, kind and truly put me at ease and peace with the situation. She also gave me advice on how to break the news to our 6 year old. It’s never easy to put down a pet but after my experience with Dr. Hays, I can say it made the process so much better. She’s the GREATEST!!! "

~ Candice M., 2020

Zoo

"Thank you so much for all your compassion and kindness when you came to help us say goodbye to Zoo. I appreciate you all so much and am grateful for you and your loving heart. Thank you so much! Please tell Karin that I so appreciate her kindness and compassion as well. You are all such gifts, and I appreciate you so much. It’s never easy to say goodbye but having you all help us with that journey was truly a gift."

McLovin

"Dr. Hays came to our house on short notice to provide us with end of life services for our beloved lab, McLovin. She was kind, efficient, and allowed our dog to have a peaceful and pain free passing. None of this would have been possible if we’d had to have loaded him into the car and driven him to a veterinary hospital to be jostled around further. The service you provided is truly appreciated. Thank you again Doctor."

Aussie

"We knew the time would come soon for our beloved Aussie. He was fighting cancer, and it was just a matter of time. What we didn't expect was his quick decline and we had procrastinated finding a veterinarian that would make house calls. We lucked out with Dr. Libby. She was so understanding and helpful. She came a couple hours after we called and confirmed our suspicions. Our family was able to surround him with love and pets as we said goodbye in the comfort of our home. We chose to have him individually cremated. She took his body and delivered it for cremation. Then within a week she brought him back in a beautiful wooden urn. The next day we also received a thoughtful card in the mail from Dr. Libby. If you're looking for a veterinarian don't hesitate."

Maggie May

"No pet owner ever wants to hear that their pet has cancer with mere months to live…. but I did. I am so grateful I found Dr. Libby and Karin at the beginning of that difficult journey and transition. My tearful questions were answered honestly and with compassion. From advice and medication management to that final goodbye to my sweet Maggie May, Dr. Libby and Karin were absolutely invaluable to me, and Maggie never had to experience the stress of going to the vet the entire time. What a wonderful service they provide during the most difficult time we have as pet owners."
