Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice, Katie Stender

Dr. Katie has such a gift for making the difficult transition more comfortable and peaceful for pets. Her bedside manner is unparalleled. She helped my 12 yr old Pomeranian pass at home where he was happy and calm, instead of at a vet office. Many thanks.

We lost our rescue husky Scout on 1÷19÷2016. Thanks for what you do and how awesome you are!!! Frank & Claudia

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr.Katie. Dr. Katie is by far the most compassionate vet I have ever met. She made a difficult process as peaceful as possible and showed so much respect for my dogs body after he passed. I will always be grateful for her and for her help..

She is the kindest most gentile vet. She only does Hospice and euthanasia but is so gentle with it. 250.00 and no rush! Comes to your home.

I had no idea about this service. I wish I had known about it in October when we put our Boston terrier down. She is a wonderful person performing a great service. A dear friend used her services this week for her cat and she could not tell me enough good things about her.

Dr. Katie is amazing. She’s just what the 5 star rating says — as good as it gets. It’s a Godsend to have someone like her on this earth to help our beloved pets pass peacefully and in the «Lap of Love.» We’re very grateful for you and the way in which you compassionately provide your service Dr. Katie. Thank you.

Out of know where our 9 year old boxer, Luke, was diagnosed with cancer. In just a few short weeks his health deteriorated fast & we had to make the difficult decision to let go. We were provided information about the Laps of Love service & I emailed her late at night on Saturday, January 31, 2015. She reached out the very next day & stayed i n contact with us the entire time to the end. Dr. Katie provides hospice services leading up to the time of death but for us it all went so fast our first time meeting her was to euthanize our boy. Dr. Katie was compassionate, empathetic to no end. There are just no words to express my gratitude for her work. There is nothing easy about losing a family member but to have her by our side & she didn’t hound us about money, in fact, I was the one who asked her what the next step was –meaning how do I pay you. She seemed to genuinely care about us & our Luke. We were so blessed to have the resources to have this option. God bless you Katie.
