Review of REACH & Asheville Veterinary S...

This is not a fake posting. This is a real review ...

This is not a fake posting. This is a real review from my experience at 11:30 pm Monday August the 27th.
My dog mannie was a 14 year old American bulldog, my 3rd child and the best dog I believe I ve ever had. He was losing a battle with aggressive large cell sarcoma. His personal vet had told me a few weeks prior after thousands of dollars of surgery and meds, at this point we were trying to keep him comfortable and with out pain.
Mannie had gone down hill rather quickly the week leading up to the 27th he was in pain and losing his appetite (not taking his meds either due to the lack of appetite) which made him even more uncomfortable. Friday the 24th I spoke with his vet about euthanasia. It was scheduled for the Wednesday 29th.
Unfortunately he was just in to much pain and deteriorating rapidly. He was unnecessarily suffering and I couldn t watch this happen to him. I called reach and they told me to bring him right then. This was the most compassionate, attentive, and caring group of vets and vet techs I have had the pleasure of meeting. They went above and beyond for Mannie and myself. I was rushed right back to their er. They immediately worked on getting him comfortable. Allowing me to be present for this. They waited until I knew he was comfortable and not hurting to do his paperwork. They explained in detail what we were going to do. They put Mannie and I in a private room to spend his last minutes together in private. The vet/vet tech that came in into the room to euthanize Mannie was amazing. He explained what to expect and answered every question I had thoroughly. He was very empathetic, and genuinely cared.
I m sorry I didn t get his and everyone else s names. These are extraordinary people. Who definitely care about you and your animal.

They did all of this for us for free. My bill was $0.

I think you for everything you did for us Reach.
