"On May 20, 2022, I had to make the difficult and heart-wrenching decision to euthanize my precious 12-year-old dog Dior, after she became acutely ill and declined rapidly despite immediate emergency and specialty care. When it became clear that Dior would not recover, I reached out to her general practice veterinarian Dr. Dionne for guidance and was pleased and relieved to learn that she was able to assist us. I cannot thank Dr. Dionne enough for ensuring that the day of the procedure went as smoothly and comforting as possible. She accommodated my schedule, answered all questions, patiently waited as several family members spent their last moments with Dior, and was especially sensitive to my 89-year-old father who had a very special bond with Dior. Throughout the procedure, Dior remained comfortable without any outward signs of discomfort or pain. During the initial phase, I was able to hold Dior and she laid calmly in my lap. Ultimately, her final moments ended quietly and peacefully. Although the loss of Dior was extremely difficult, Dr. Dionne's professionalism, compassion, easy-going manner, and follow-up contact with my family was invaluable and healing."
