“Lifting Stars was exactly what we needed. They were amazingly supportive, explained the process, and were there when we needed them to prevent further suffering of our dog. A home visit ensured her last moments were relaxed and not full of fear of the trip to the vet. I will never forget the care and respect that our sweet girl was shown when she was transported to the next step on her journey.”
A. ThompsonMay 2024

“Our family is incredibly grateful for Lifting Stars. Very professional and compassionate. I would definitely recommend their services.”
A. WalkerMarch 2024

“Lifting Stars is a wonderful service. We were able to say goodbye to our beloved cat at home. He wasn't scared at the end (as has happened with our previous cat when we took her to the vet clinic to be euthanized), and it was very peaceful for all of us. Many thanks to Doctors Mary and Jeff, and all the staff at Lifting Stars, for their sensitive treatment at this difficult time and clear explanation of the procedure.”
J. BuckhamFebruary 2024
