Dear Dr. Gritzmacher and Juliet,
A sincere thank you to all who cared for our dog Kenny before he passed. He was a very special day to do many and has left a great void in our lives. We appreciate all your time discussing his case with us and doing everything to help him. He did pass before we got to our vet as anticipated, but h did not seem to suffer and we were able to be with him which was important to us

Dear Dr. Miller and Staff,
I can’t thank you enough for what you all did for Mittens. I miss him tremendously, but that paw print you sent me will help to keep him in my heart. I really hope the decision I made was right. There is no way I would ever let him suffer. Again, then you not only what you did for Mittens but what you do for all animals.

Jeff D
Thank you for your kindness and all of the compassion and kindness from the VEC staff. They all have been wonderful and very sincere. Poppy was a large part of our family and we will miss her always. She was a good dog that I took home as a puppy for physical rehabilitation and adopted after the owner no longer wanted her. She was incredibly loyal and we all loved her very much. Her last day was spent mostly with my children around her. I was the last person to hold her as I laid her down on her bed. She passed in her sleep very peacefully. It was her last gift to us. Sincerely, Jeff D.
D and I
As my son and I arrived at your doors (VEC) with my heart in my hands knowing we were about to lose our best friend. With peace and love, the VEC staff was a gift from up above. I would like to thank you all for the comfort you gave to my family. I appreciate the card you sent with her paw print. Yes, I am hurting because my best friend is gone, but never forgotten. She has left her paw print forever in our hearts. D. and I.
Tina and Dennis K
To Everyone at the Veterinary Clinic:
Thank you so much for the comfort and compassion given to us at this sad time. The paw print and card will always be in our heart. I made a picture frame to put on the wall with them, next to “Brue’s” treasure chest and his picture. Thanks again, Tina and Dennis K.
Karen
Dear Dr. Gritzmacher and Juliet,
Words cannot express my deep gratitude for the care and concern given to me and my dog, Lacey during such a difficult time. Your understanding of our emotions and respect of our privacy and time remaining (precious time) was so appreciated. Most people would become callous to the situation but you both (and office staff) are amazing people doing a job you love. Washing and holding Lacey’s items also meant the world to me and my son. Her paw prints were a bitter-sweet gift. I know Lacey is looking down on us all, thinking “I am a pup again and so loved”. Lacey was so part of my life, my little 2nd chance girl. So glad we met you on our journey together. Karen

Dr. Mroziak, Dr. West, and Josh,
Thank you for the compassion can care you showed Wyatt! It was a very scary time for us but you all made it easier. We appreciate everything you did for us from getting us in so quickly to spending so much time explaining and letting me be present with him. We were genuinely pleased with everything. You have a beautiful facility. We wish you the best but hope I don’t need you anytime soon again. I don’t think anything we would have done would have given us more times with Wyatt it was just a bad disease but you gave us hope in the little time we had left. Thank you, Ben and Mike S.

While my sheltie had a seizure. I was so scared. You took the time to talk and you made everything better. Thank you. On Saturday, April 9th around 3:10 pm, I called your clinic when my sheltie, Randy was having a seizure. (He is doing well now). I don’t know the man I spoke with but he helped me so much. He was so calm, he asked questions, told me if Randy had another to bring him in. He truly helped me through. Thank you so much for your kindness. It meant the world to me! Jenn and Randy

Lee and Lindsay
Staff of Greater Buffalo Veterinary Clinic,
We bought 12 year old Bear to you six days after we adopted him December 2014 for a slipped stomach, and again last Tuesday morning when he had passed away in his sleep. Both visits were incredibly stressful and scary for us, but your staff was incredibly kind and helpful both times. We also appreciate you taking the time to send his paw print. We have it next to his picture and hopefully, will look at it in the future with feelings of happy memories and not just sadness. Your compassion and sympathies are appreciated. With gratitude, Lee and Lindsay E.

Jennifer and Garth M
Dear Dr. Brown, and the entire staff at the VEC, My husband and I wanted to send all of you a little note of thanks. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for the kindness and compassion you showed our family during an impossible time of grief and loss. Our sweet and loving compassion of 12 1/2 years, Zoe, was the light of our lives. She became so ill so quickly, and we have no idea we were so close to the end. She passed away within an hour of us getting her home from our vet.
Since our vet was closed, we called your office and the staff offered us guidance and support. When we arrived at your facility, one of the gentlemen that helped carry Zoe out of our vehicle gently laid his hand on her head and gave her a little pat. The other gentleman took the time to give us an ink impression of her paw print. The receptionists continuously offered their condolences. They also gave us an opportunity for one last goodbye in a private room. These might be “little” details that could be lost on some, but these details made a huge impression on us.
Even though this was our first time at your facility, we truly felt Zoe was in the best hands when we had to walk out the doors without her. We felt completely at peace leaving her in your care. The staff you employ, the work you do, and the services you provide are second to none. We could see genuine compassion and heartfelt sorrow everyone felt for our loss. That is something that only people with a true love for animals can express.
To say thank you doesn’t seem adequate. Your kindness will forever resonate in our hearts. You are truly exceptional, caring, and wonderful people. Yours truly, Jennifer and Garth M.
