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.

Would recommend Dr. Linda's service to anyone who is needing to make the difficult decision to say goodbye to their pet. Doing it at home allowed us to let our nine year old wolfhound go in a calm, loving environment where he was comfortable. Linda is compassionate, very professional, and was able to see us on rather short notice.
