About Dr. Oswalt

Testimonials

My childhood cat, Rosie, has had a great life. Nineteen years for a cat is remarkable (94 in human years). Very recently, my mom had decided it was time - she was not eating, drinking, and could not even sit down to get comfortable. Today, I was the strong one. My mom had requested to have someone come to have it be done at her home. She could not stand the coldness and pain that Rosie would be in on the drive to the vet's office. Dr. Mikel Oswalt from HomePetVet came recommended from our vet's office, as someone who did house calls, and for letting our Rosie go in peace. She understood right away that this was a cat that would benefit from her services sooner than later. Within hours, she was at my mom's home. She did the paperwork very quickly and laid out the options for how to do it (sedative? in the room? tissues?). She even said a little prayer as it was happening. My mom, brother and I cried, but our Rosie was no longer in pain. She was very professional, and advised of additional services (cremation? kitty footprint? recommended grieving counselors?) that she could do if needed. I appreciated her kindness; I could tell that she definitely had a love for animals and wanted to make sure that she was not in any pain, and that we were also going to be okay. Thank you for your kind words, and your warm heart.
