“I has taken me a year to write this review because every time it would bring back the cherished memories of the last moments we got to have with our most loved Soxie. Then the water works would hit, like they are now, and I would have to stop. Now, don't mistake this review for a bad one. On the contrary if i were a local I would only ever bring my pets here.
The Best of Livingston Veterinary Hospital
1) The Compassion
The whole staff showed this to us. Our Vet also filled out her cremation paper work for us so we didn't have to struggle through it. All we had to do was sign. He made sure it was a private cremation, which is exactly what we wanted. We know it weighed heavily on him as he stopped her pain. He was so kind and gentle. We were allowed as much time to grieve in private as we needed. We couldn't just leave here there so they allowed my husband to carry her to the back room.
2) They Tell The Truth
The vet here isn't about making money off your pets. Soxie had a serious issue. He knew he couldn't give me all the answers and sent me to a place who could. When we got the results back he confirmed our worst fears. In the end there was nothing we could do that wouldn't cause her more suffering.
3) The Memory Trinkets
They took her paw prints. We have them in clay and in Ink. Those will be passed down to our kids when they move out. The company they go through for cremation took a scan of her nose so we can buy Jewelry with her nose print on it. Her ashes came back in a beautiful wooden box within a velvet bag. They gave us a card expressing their condolences.
The Worst Part
I would say not bringing your loved ones to them would be a disservice to you and your best friend(s). There is nothing bad I can ever say about this group of amazing humans.
We will meet again one day over Rainbow Bridge.

“We have been with Colmey's for many years and many animals and have nothing but the best to say for the care and treatment they have received. Gary“
“I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. McCormick when he was working at Colemy's and I knew then he was a great fit for our family. Now that he has his own practice we bring our pets here but anyone that has pets knows they are so much more than that. They are a member of the family, and this facility feels that. They are an amazing practice and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. I couldn't imagine where we'd be without the helpful and compassionate hands here at Sleeping Giant. Bless you all and thank you for always going above and beyond for me and my fur babies! You truly are the gem of the valley!“
