I cannot recommend this company more. They offer an incredible service with remarkable compassion. I have read multiple articles about putting your pet to sleep when it is time. All indicated how important it is for the pet to be with his/her people in comfortable surroundings. Lap of Love comes to the home forgoing that uncomfortable trip to the vet office. The superb, compassionate veterinarian gently administers medication leading to a most peaceful passing. Various options are also offered for the remains. - Ballwin, Missouri

I don't do this often. But in this instance, I must leave a review for this wonderful company. I cannot speak highly enough of Lap of Love. What they do is special. Everyone from the reception staff, as well as Dr. Dawnetta were unbelievably kind, thoughtful, and caring throughout the process. The reception staff was ready, willing and able to take care of all our needs including a change to our appointment date, but also did so with great care and understanding. On the day, Dr. Dawnetta was exactly who we needed. A kind soul, with nothing but love to give and a guiding hand through the process of losing one of our beloved family members. All of the people at Lap of Love are truly an inspiration. Thank you for what you do. - St. Louis, MO

I still think about my sweet Ginger and her journey to rainbow bridge and how Lap of Love helped guide us. Her last few moments were peaceful and our little, baby girl dog was truly surrounded by love. I miss her every day. We could not have chosen a better way to let her go. - San Francisco, CA - June 2025
