Desert Paws Mobile Veterinary Care

Dr. Hartle and staff at Desert Paws Mobile Veterinary Care were truly a blessing during one of the hardest moments of our lives. Making the decision to choose euthanasia for our beloved Rocko was the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do. Dr. Hartle as well as Amy & Autumn who helped with scheduling and answering all my questions, all approached everything with such compassion, patience, and gentleness that it brought us a sense of peace. Being able to say goodbye to Rocko in the comfort of his home made all the difference. The entire experience felt calm, respectful, and beautiful, and it was exactly what he deserved in those final moments. Even though it was an unfortunate reason to meet with the team at Desert Paws, I’m so grateful it all happened the way it did. Thank you, Dr. Har

Thank you so much Dr. Peress, Jess and staff for taking such great care of Roman! We needed a neutral party well check of our 10 year old Golden. Dr Peress went above and beyond to ensure Roman is comfortable and explained everything, taking her time and pausing for questions we had, the visit and everything done was well worth it ! Dr. Peress even called us and let us know about Librela side effects, we want to give Roman the best outcome in his golden years. We appreciate the onsite labs and courtesy services offered through mobile. I had to drive to the office as well to get the Librela in an ice pack and the staff was more than welcoming! Thank you for your time!

I contacted Desert Paws for one final appointment with my dog. I had a number of delays with end of life care, first losing my job, then a canceled appointment with another mobile vet. Desert Paws was my last call, with compassion and thoughtfulness as we scheduled. And patience as I confirmed the appointment, called with questions, asked what the process would be like in the 10 days preceding this appointment. This was a difficult decision, where my dog's physical and behavior declines told me I had to do this for her comfort. I cried the nights before the appointment. We had a really good last week. I did not want this appointment. Dr. Hartle arrived, accommodating re-routes and escorts to manage another behavior dog's comfort on the property. I was already a mess, emotionally. My sweet

Dr. Erika Hartle was kind and compassionate and brought peace to my family in such a hard time. Euthanasia is never easy but I’m glad my pet was able to experience such a peaceful passing, thanks to Dr. Hartle. I would highly recommend this service to anyone facing this decision with their pet.

My Dad passed away in 2017 and our family dog Duke was my Dad’s best friend, so he was more than a dog to our family. Duke was 15 years old and he hasn’t been eating well for about a month. The night before last I woke up to Duke bleeding from his mouth and nose. My family and I were frantically trying to figure out what to do for Duke. My sister came over to help at 4am and her Van got stuck in the driveway with an ignition lock malfunction. We called the emergency vet after finally squeezing my car out of the driveway past my sisters 1999 eco line van with Duke wrapped in a towel, and we just started driving toward the emergency vet. We called the emergency vet and the lady on the phone was hard to understand, not really compassionate, and she said they were at only accepting emergencies
