I will forever be grateful to Dr. Gaby and her assistant, Helen, for the most beautiful goodbye I could have ever hoped for, for my sweet Kitty Pryde.

Kitty Pryde was 16.5 and under vet care for cancer, and then she became ill with an entirely different cancer, that cats rarely get. Within 2 days she went from being okay to very unwell. Dr. Gaby was able to take my appointment on a shorter than expected notice, and answered all the questions I had about Kitty and what to expect, so when the time came for my appointment, I felt truly prepared.

It was a gift to be able to have Kitty Pryde pass at home, in my arms, in her favorite sleeping spot. Dr. Gaby was so kind and patient, and talked me through every step without rushing the process. She and Helen were so gentle with my sweet girl. They handled her like the princess that she is! And they brought her delicious fried chicken and pink roses-which was Kitty Pryde's color!

I am so broken hearted over the loss of my baby girl, but it hurts a little less because of the care and compassion that Dr. Gaby has for her clients, and their humans. Knowing I was able to give her a peaceful farewell means everything to me.

Dr. Gaby has reached out to me since our appointment to check on me and see how things are going. And she also thanked me for letting her be a part of Kitty Pryde's journey. That was so incredibly meaningful because it shows just how compassionate she is.

Thank you so much, Dr. Gaby, for all that you do!

When I was faced with the impossible reality of needing to end my dog's suffering due to an advanced illness I was overwhelmed but knew only that I wanted to make the experience as calm and loving as possible and that I wanted it to happen at home so she would feel safe. Dr Gaby was recommended to me by my vet and she made this awful experience truly the most respectful, peaceful and joyous it could be.

From the moment I first contacted her, she gently provided every detail with so much respect and tenderness so I would be prepared and informed. Day of she and her assistant were so kind to me and Zuzu- you can absolutely tell how much they love animals. They brought her a special little treat to enjoy before we got started and everything was on my terms and timing to make sure we were ready. She went so peacefully as I pet her- and was genuinely treated with so much respect. I was offered options for grief counseling and many options for her remains. I cannot thank Dr Gaby enough.

If you're ever in this situation I'd highly recommend her and her team to help you and your animal friend.

We recently had to say goodbye to our 15-year-old dog, Penny, and I can’t begin to express the gratitude we feel toward Dr. Gaby and her assistant for making this incredibly difficult time as peaceful as possible. They came to our home, allowing Penny to pass surrounded by warmth and love. Dr. Gaby was compassionate, thoughtful, and went above and beyond. She brought flowers and even fried chicken for Penny, giving her such a beautiful farewell. She explained the process with kindness, helping us understand and prepare every step of the way. The small touches—like the paw print and urn we received—were beautiful and truly meaningful. She even ensured Penny's sister, our other 14 year old dog, understood what was happening, which brought us comfort. Dr. Gaby checked in with us afterward, showing just how much she cares. This team made a painful experience more bearable and honored Penny’s life with such respect and love. We’ll always be grateful for Dr. Gaby’s warmth and professionalism. I could not have dreamed of a better way to say farewell to our beloved Penny.

From my first contact with Dr. Gaby and throughout the entire process and even beyond Dr Gaby was very responsive and compassionate. She was prompt and kind. The service was an incredibly hard experience for my family, but Dr Gaby and her assistant made our dog Ruby and us feel very comfortable until Ruby’s last moments. The service she provides is extremely compassionate. I was not expecting how above and beyond they went to provide a peaceful experience - including fried chicken for our dog. We are so very grateful to her and her assistant. Even after our service the follow up was so appreciated and we were able to change requests. Dr Gaby has my utmost respect.

During the emotional tornado of doubt and grief, Dr. Gaby was supportive and calming. She and her team are empathetic, caring and professional from the first discussion to the last. It takes a special person to choose this life calling. The whole experience taking care of my sweet girl Daisy (and me) was handled with grace. No one should hesitate to work with Dr. Gaby.

I'm very grateful to have called Beyond Veterinary Care when it was time to send my beloved Loki on to greater things. Gabriela and her team were compassionate, skillful, and communicative. They made sure my dog was comfortable, and even helped me decorate my space to help make sure my dog's final moments were truly beautiful. I also appreciated the range of services and keepsakes that were on offer. Please keep this business in mind when it is time to make that difficult decision for your furry friends!

I feel so fortunate that my cat Minnie’s vet introduced me to Dr. Gaby and her incredible service. Minnie was 14 years old when she was diagnosed with cancer, just a week before she crossed the rainbow bridge. Her condition was severe, and because of the size and type of her tumor, treatment wasn’t an option.

The decision to let Minnie go was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, but seeing her in pain every day made it clear it was time. We called Dr. Gaby on a Friday, and she kindly scheduled a visit for the next day. Over the phone, she was so patient and understanding, walking us through the entire process and answering all our questions. She also emailed detailed information and aftercare options right away, which really helped us feel more prepared.

On the day of the visit, Dr. Gaby texted me to let me know she and her assistant, Helen, were on their way. They arrived right on time and brought flowers and even some fried chicken for Minnie, which was such a thoughtful and touching gesture. They also brought small glass bottles so we could save some of Minnie’s fur as a keepsake, which meant so much to me.

Before starting, Dr. Gaby took the time to explain everything again so we’d feel comfortable with what was about to happen. The whole process was gentle, peaceful, and unrushed. Dr. Gaby and Helen were so kind and compassionate, giving us all the time we needed to say goodbye. I never felt rushed, and their warmth made an unbearably hard day just a little easier.

Losing Minnie has completely broken my heart, but I’m so thankful for Dr. Gaby’s care and compassion. Knowing that Minnie was able to pass peacefully, in her favorite spot at home, surrounded by love, is something I’ll always be grateful for.

Afterward, Dr. Gaby stayed in touch, answering my questions about aftercare and even checking in to see how I was doing. Her kindness didn’t stop after the visit, and that support made a world of difference during such a painful time.

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the hardest things you’ll ever have to do, but being able to do it at home, in a place they know and love, is such a gift. I’m so grateful to Dr. Gaby and Helen for making Minnie’s farewell as peaceful and full of love as it could possibly be.
