From the moment we brought Tink home she never left my side. She mothered me and my 22-month-old twins from the day they were born and loved to hang on anything she could and watch what was going on. Saying goodbye to Tink at home has made my heart hurt a little less and helped me find more peace with her passing. You were so kind with her and made sure she was relaxed and comfortable. I know that we made the right decision and I have no regrets because I was able to give her a loving end to her life.

Dr. Forslund's quiet demeanor made me feel relaxed and her patient and sensitive treatment of Scooter was appreciated by me as well. Thank you again for the wonderful service you provide to animals and the humans that love them - you are truly appreciated.
Tia joined our family when our sons were in middle and high school – long past the time when THEY wanted to sit on my lap or “help Daddy” as he puttered in the garage. She made herself at home on any lap available and dispensed kisses with abandon. We were devastated to lose her to cancer at age 10, but enormously comforted that you made it possible for the end of her life to be so peaceful and loving.
I am writing this memorial for Moses as part of the grieving process, and to share with those considering home pet euthanasia the special experience that I had with the assistance of Dr. Forslund. Dr. Forslund’s caring, understanding, and gentle manner made this most difficult decision and experience of pet euthanasia one that I can remember as a special moment and a good memory, rather than one that would diminish the memory of my special boy's last hours.
We adopted Tank from the Southern California Lab Rescue in 2004. We fell completely in love with his loving, joyful personality and we were instantly convinced that there was no sweeter soul on the planet. When it came time to say goodbye to Tanker, we knew we wanted him to be as calm and comfortable as possible. We knew that a trip to the vet would be stressful and traumatic. From the moment I contacted Dr. Forslund, I heard the compassion in her voice and felt how much she truly cared about our situation and wanted to help. Tanker was able to go so peacefully. He was laying in my lap on his favorite spot on the couch. He was so relaxed and he fell asleep so comfortably in his final moments.
Yes, she was everything. People tell me that all dogs are special and unique, but each of us has the privilege to know pets uniquely. When I knew that it was her time to go, I couldn't envision taking her into a clinical setting. My veterinarian recommended Home Pet Euthanasia. Dr. Forslund was available that Sunday. Her visit made a world of difference. Annie was relaxed and I knew that Dr. Forslund's visit was the best choice. Her gentleness reassured both Annie and me.
The decision to euthanize Holly was one of the most difficult decisions of my entire life. I’m a vegetarian who sweeps ants into a dust pan and carries them outside. The thought of being in charge of another’s death was overwhelming to me, but it’s true that our animal companions let us know when they are “ready.” Calling on Dr. Forslund to assist my sweet girl home felt like divine intervention. It was as gentle, graceful, and as sweet as Holly was. I am eternally grateful.
