I met Dr. Thompson on a previous visit with one of my kitties and again yesterday. I had the unfortunate task of bringing him my beloved kitty, Willie, who was terribly ill and needed to be put to sleep. In my worst moments, Dr Thompson could not have been more understanding, compassionate and assuring, that I was doing the right thing at the appropriate time for Willie. He talked us through the process, gave us the time we needed to say goodbye, and made a terrible situation as gentle and peaceful as possible.

I cannot thank him enough for supporting us yesterday. I will continue to bring the fur babies in our family to Family Pet. The entire team, including Dr. Slezak, his partner, are wonderful, supportive and professional and you could not be in better hands.

I have been taking my pets to The Family Pet Clinic for 17 years and I wouldn't trust them with any other vet. All the doctors, techs, office folks go out of their way for the care of the animals.
