Dr. Linda was incredibly helpful from consultation to follow up after the fact. Our dog Ozzy abruptly went downhill and knowing if "now" was the right time, was on of our hardest questions. Her consultation process was so helpful in making that clearer for us. Our kids and our other animals got to be with Ozzy and we never felt that she was stressed or scared. Dr. Linda was instrumental in helping us give our dog a good death and we will always be grateful for her time and care. I should also note that she did all this with us 2 days before Christmas. So shout out to Dr. Linda for being simply a stand up human and vet.
During this hard decision, Dr Linda was amazing. My kids wanted to take our dog’s paw print and she made sure they capture the perfect paw print and took her time with them. We were all very grateful. She’s very caring and explains to you every step of the way.
I cannot say enough about the beautiful experience I had with Kindhearted. It was time to say goodbye to my baby, Renzo and Dr Linda was phenomenal. She met with me virtually to go over everything. She was very kind and empathetic. She made me feel calm and gave me space to feel what I needed. When she arrived at our home, her energy was calming and peaceful. She was so gentle with my boy. She gave us all the time we needed. I cannot thank her enough for giving my family and my boy the gift of saying goodbye in our own way. My baby needed to be home. On one of the worst days of my life, there was beauty in knowing my boy went peacefully in his bed in his home. He was so brave. Thank you kindhearted. You are truly a gift to families and their fur babies. Sarah
We had to go through one of our worst days with our Shepherd Loki. Dr. Linda Speizer made the experience a little less traumatic with her calm demeanor and her compassion. She understands how much our pets mean to us and let us grieve and take our time. I would recommend her services to anyone who has to make that hard decision. Thank you Linda.
