I cannot recommend Dr. Linda Speizer enough. From the moment we contacted her, she was incredibly kind, compassionate, and understanding. Facing the decision for at-home euthanasia for our beloved cat Baxter was overwhelming, but Linda guided us through every step with patience, gentle explanations, and unwavering support. Her knowledge and professionalism were evident, and yet what truly stood out was her warmth and empathy. She not only provided medical expertise but also created a calm and comforting environment that allowed our family to say goodbye to Baxter with love and dignity. Linda went above and beyond to make an incredibly difficult experience as peaceful and supportive as possible. We will always be grateful for her guidance, kindness, and the compassion she showed our furry family member and us.

Dr. Linda is phenomenal! I recently had to say goodbye to Simba, my 12-year-old best friend and soulmate, after she went into liver failure. Simba has been by my side since she was a baby, and losing her has been devastating. When it came time to say goodbye, it was very important to me to let her go peacefully at home and in her favourite bed. Dr. Linda was truly a gift. She was so gentle, patient, and compassionate through every step. I couldn’t have imagined a better person to help us through such a heartbreaking moment. I’ll forever be grateful to Dr. Linda for the care she provided for the most important individual in my life.

Dr Speizer is an incredible vet. She arrived yesterday to help us with our pal mal. Was a game changer to have her come to the house and our dog being so comfortable. On time and professional and truly caring. Helped our other dog as well know what happened to her companion. When she was at another vet hospital in oromocto years ago she was also my vet. Dr Speizer helped me with my Saint Bernard that had seizures. Helped me navigate the pet insurance. Sent us to the PEI animal hospital and went above and beyond to try to help Guinness. I’m very grateful she is providing this service to our best friends! Thank you!

Saying goodbye to our dog, Willow, was one of the hardest things we’ve ever been through. Having it happen at home with such a compassionate vet made a world of difference. Dr. Linda was calm, gentle, and incredibly kind, and she never rushed us. She made sure Willow was comfortable and gave us the space and time we needed to grieve. We’re so grateful for the care, respect, and compassion she showed our dog and our family during such a painful moment. I would recommend to anyone. Thank you, Dr. Linda!

We are so grateful for Dr. Linda. Our little girl got sick very quickly, and Dr. Linda was able to make sure she got to go to sleep in her mummy and daddy's arms under her favourite tree in the sun. Its what our little girl deserved, and it was only possible because of Dr. Linda.

Absolutely fantastic service. We had to put our Bella down, and Linda was amazing. The process was clearly explained, and being able to have this done at home made the procedure much less stressful for all over taking to a vet's office. I would 100% recommend!

Dr Linda was an important and special piece of our decision making process. She provided not only the necessary educational support, but also the emotional support we needed to say goodbye to our sweet Abby. We were only 4 weeks shy of Abby's 18th birthday and it suddenly became clear it was no longer fair to keep her. Being we don't have children and that Abby was our only dog, this decision was incredibly heartbreaking and overwhelming. Dr Linda was amazing and I found the resource materials/links on her website very helpful. We scheduled the intake/information appointment right away so that we could prepare ourselves and have our questions answered. Dr. L was very accessible, very supportive and provided the guidance we needed at each step. I found that completing all the required paperwork and appointment up front to be helpful. When she arrived at the door, we were very sad, but not afraid. We felt prepared which allowed us to focus on being as present as possible during our final few days, not thinking about the inevitable as much but cherishing each special moment. I prepared my home in a special way to honor Abby the best I knew how. Allowing her to go peacefully, in her own home, in her own bed, with no stress, was the right thing to do for all of us. I found the reviews I read to be very comforting and valuable during my decision making process; therefore, I am hopeful my review will also help someone. I highly recommend this gift to you or anyone you know facing this very sad and difficult time. Thank you Dr. Linda for providing such a meaningful and valuable service.

I contacted Dr Linda Speizer when My sweet boy Wrigley was not doing well. She was very kind and understanding of our feelings and provided us with the information we needed. When Wrigley took a turn for the worse the day before she was to come, I called her and she came that day. I was so grateful to her as I could not see my boy suffer another day. Thank you so much for your patience and kindness on that day.
