It really helped make little Smoochy’s transition to the next world, so much easier to bear.You came quickly on the same day I called, when it became obvious she was passing on. I will never forget her or you. The service, professionalism and kindness are so appreciated.

”Raf came at short notice to euthanise my beloved 16yo dog. Despite not having met either of us before, he was kind, sensitive, respectful and gentle and took the time needed to allow my beautiful boy to slip quietly and peacefully away.
He was also very supportive in helping to arrange the cremation. I cannot thank him enough for bringing as much ease as possible to such a heartbreaking time.”— Deb and family (Surry Hills)

Your caring, gentle and compassionate professionalism brought as much comfort as we could have hoped for on one of the most distressing days of our lives.

“If you want a vet that really cares Rafael is the man for you. He came out to our home to check on my unwell dog.
His kennel side manner is one of someone how truly loves animals, and he treated my family and I with respect and genuine care.
I Knew what he was talking about and spent plenty of time to try and help. He made a follow up call as well. He is my vet now for as long as I live in the Eastern Suburbs . There was no big vet bill at the end, very reasonably priced. ”— Brett (Maroubra)
