Kokopelli Veterinary Care

We had a horrible experience. I have had several dogs euthanized and this was by far the worst, I cannot get the whole experience out of my mind and every time I think of it I cry. First Laurelle Danton was 25 minutes late which already made me more upset. She then sat there making excuses about the rain and telling us all about her problems which I didn’t want to hear. She filled out a lot of paperwork which could have been done over the phone. She had a potty pad to put her on my lap, it was half the size it needed to be. My dogs pee got on my so I had my husband go get a bigger pad. She blew out her vein on the first leg and we had to turn her over to shave a second leg. Oh and she had me hold her when she gave her the first shot, she said turn her face towards you so she won’t bite me-

Dr. Danton was quick to respond and provided next day euthanasia for our two bulldog brothers whom were battling cancer. She was kind and made the process a positive experience despite the situation. We are grateful.

Botched our home euthanasia badly, caused extreme suffering to our beloved dog and trauma to our family, made no admissions the procedure was non-routine, still forced us to hug her and tell stories, reported the entire incident to the board of veterinary medicine, they chose to do nothing. She also encouraged us to look into suing our regular veterinarian. Home euthanasia by bullet would be much more humane.

Dr. Danton made a house call to euthanize our beloved cat, Tucker, last week. She was extremely quick to respond and was such a blessing to our family in this difficult time. She was so patient and kind. She made the very best of a terrible moment in our lives and our sweet boy passed away peacefully in his bed at home. I can never thank Dr. Danton enough for her service to our family.

If I could have done it with a different vet - I would have. My dog shook and didn’t look comfortable at all Now I live with deep remorse that I wish my dogs death was more peaceful. My second dog passed not too long after and his in home Euthanasia was way more professional and peaceful.
