Dr Bartz is, as many here have noted, a kind and compassionate professional who has really mastered the details of A Gentle Goodbye for our furry family members when the time comes. She was very patient and thorough on the phone and the morning of the euthanasia with our 18 YO cat, Emma. We knew exactly what was going to happen, and everything went as expected. Our other cat and our dog were with us. A very different experience from a vet clinic where there are distractions and noise. We highly recommend Dr Bartz!

I cannot recommend Dr. Julie for this service enough. During our first call she spent quite a bit of time discussing my dog’s condition and helping me explore if there were any options left for her. I was on a rollercoaster for the last week with my 14 year old beagle, Kya. She would be fine one day and not fine the next, I scheduled and canceled that final appointment multiple times. Dr. Julie stayed in touch daily during that final week, checking in to see how she was doing…just the fact that she took the time to reach out meant so much to me going through this painful process. When she arrived at our home, she spent a great deal of time talking to me not only about Kya’s condition, but also about her life in general. She also went out of her way to make sure my other pets were comfortable with her presence. I felt absolutely no pressure to make the final decision, but very supported throughout the whole (terrible) process. I’ve had many animals throughout my life and I have never met such a kind, compassionate, caring vet. While this was of course one of my worst days, she really made it the best possible experience for what it was. Thank you Dr. Julie, what you do matters so much.

Dr. Julie was incredibly kind and compassionate during such a difficult time. She provided excellent care for my baby girl, Juliet, and made sure she was comfortable until the very end. Her thoroughness and thoughtfulness made a huge difference in those final moments we had left with our Jules- and how comfortingly fitting it was to have someone who shares namesake be the one to help our girl cross the rainbow bridge. We are so grateful for her professionalism, care, and kind heart from the time she answered our phone call to the moment she left with my Jules.

Thank you, Dr Julie for dedicating your life to such a difficult profession. There’s nobody more compassionate for this role than you, and I’ll forever be thankful for that.

Dr Julie Bartz Helped me to send Rocco over the Rainbow bridge.

I could never have done this without her guidance & compassion.

Being in our home and able to include Rocco’s brother Ringo to be a part of

what was happening was wonderful. She gave Ringo loving attention as well.

Explaining the process step by step in your gentle way made this heartbreaking situation a bit easier to cope with. I could never thank you enough.

The highest love we can show our pets is tenderly guiding them over the rainbow bridge while in the comfort of their own homes with their loving ‘parents’. Dr. Bartz explains the entire process and is very compassionate.
