Thank you Dr. Haraway

Pet Name: Belle
I wanted to thank Dr. Amy Haraway for her professionalism. It was such a relief to get a clear picture of Belle’s true condition. Concise, specific, and gently unflinching. This was an example of a moment when professional detachment is critical to the well being of the patient and the family who love her. Bad news like the death of a cherished pet is never fun. Before the referral to Northwest Veterinary Specialists – and our conversation with you, we were very unclear if it would be better to relegate our Belle to surgery and aggressive chemo therapy, or not. That was after examinations, a consultation with two different veterinary professionals.
We knew clearly what we were ok with, and what we were not ok with in our own minds. In that stressful situation it is very hard to not hear what you want to hear. Most people want to hear “it will be OK”. Thank you again for gently getting us full circle to the place where the decision, though painful, was very clear and simple to make.
Grand parents, parents, 10 and 7 year old all had a good evening and chance to say good by. Belle had a good walk, lots of hugs, and bacon and eggs for breakfast. She wagged her tail and had a play face on to the very last moment.
It can’t be easy for you. You have our thanks, and will be in my prayers.

Pet Name: IshtaNew Years Eve 2012 will live with us for a long time, I came home and Ishtah jumped off the couch and immediately could not move and was in a lot of pain, I knew the nightmare of the daschund back had just hit home. We went to our vet North Portland Vet Hospital and they contacted Dr. Prouty we took Ishtah straight there and they were amazing, she gave us hope where there had been none, and he was in surgery by 4 p.m. It is now 10 weeks later and we just came back from a walk around the block, he does not get to jump any more and stairs are out but he is very active and gets stronger every day. We will always have a special place in our hearts for the amazing work that Dr. Prouty and her team did to save our little guy and help him walk again.

awesome care
-Bill Downing from north bend, OR
Pet Name: Bruno
On January 4,2011, I brought my Police K9 "Bruno" to Northwest Veterinary Specialist. With the unknown and hurt that he and I were feeling the staff at the hospital were hands down second to none. The comfort and care they showed us both was amazing. They took "Bruno" immediately did an MRI and was ready to perform the emergency surgery immediately. Dr Kroll was absolutely amazing. He and his staff did a wonderful job. Bruno is getting the use of his back legs again and if it wasn't for them and their diagnosis, plus quick reaction time he may have been permanently paralyzed. Again Thank You to Dr Kroll and the staff "Bruno" and Bill Downing -

Pet Name: Kimber and WhiskeyWe are so thankful to VCA. They saved our two dogs after our house fire in June 2010. We have two wonderful dogs that were in our house the day of the fire. Kimber, our lab mix, and Whiskey, our golden retriever. When the Clackamas County Fire District #1 called VCA to let them know that there were two dogs injured in an house fire, the doctors on duty that day got in their personal vehicles, came over got our dogs and to them back to their facility so they could attend to them with the equipment they needed. Everyday for two weeks they called me to give updates on our dogs daily and I could call them at anytime to check on them. I believe that without VCA our dogs probably would have not made it and I am very grateful for what they did for our four-legged children.
