Just wanted to give you a little update on our little canine family as you have been instrumental in keeping them “solid-limbed” thus affording them the opportunity to still run after the wild squirrels in their jungle. Little chubby-girl Lexie is back to her feisty self with seemingly no problem whatsoever in the leg you worked your wonders. She’s back on-duty patrolling our property always on the look-out for critters, big and small. Most sadly, we had to say good-bye to our Mr. Pip on January 8^th. We are grateful that pretty much up to the horrible news he was able to “prance about” and relish the walks he so loved thanks to the surgery you performed in August to heal his ACL.

With aloha & Appreciation.

Dear Dr. Bilbrey and the Entire Staff at the Amazing Animal Specialty Group Hospital,

I have never seen a more dedicated, empathetic and professional staff as I did when we came to you, and I immediately knew Millie was in the best place she could be. The compassion and concern that every single person in your facility showed to my husband, my daughter and me during those final, very difficult months were beyond anything I’ve ever experienced.  We just cannot say how grateful we are for you all. Thank you for your unbelievable compassion on that final visit, and thank you so much for the flowers you sent. That was so unexpected and so amazingly kind. Again, just underscoring the kind of people you all are. I truly could go on forever, but I’ll stop for now and simply say, from the very bottom of our hearts, Thank You.

Dear Dr. Chaplow and all our friends at ASG:

Thank you for the lovely flowers, card and kind words at the loss of our dear Mollie. I am grateful and for all you did to give her so much more time with us, and helping me say goodbye when it got to hard on her to go on.

There is a real hole in our hearts—she was so determined and truly full of life—

This was the sweetest photo of her (even though I’m in it). She will never be forgotten.

Again, our thanks.

Dear Dr. Wendelburg and Friends,

Thank you for putting my leg back together (at least relatively so…) …multiple times! Life today at nearly 5 years old is very good. I play, lounge, eat, walk (preferably on the beach), cause appropriate amounts of Labrador-induced chaos (or so I’m told), and pose for the occasional photo.

My family is grateful for all you’ve done, and I am too. We’ve made a pact to do our collective best not to need your services again anytime soon (fingers crossed!), but I wanted to check in to say hello and share some of my favorite blankets with others. I enjoy anything soft and cozy to snuggle with and figured my recuperating buddies there must too.

Keep up the brilliant work…

Love,

Dear Dr. Schulman,

Thank you for the kind words. You were a major player in our lives with Eddie because it was your care, creativity, and resolve that kept him part of our lives for so long. We will never forget all your help! Most of all, we will never forget how special you made him feel because his positive experience at ASG helped us all get through a very difficult time.

Everyone at ASG championed Eddie on to good health—Wyatt was wonderful—Tammy, and others whose names now escape me. I still remember how excited Wyatt was when Eddie’s numbers started to climb back up.

A lovely bouquet arrived at our house yesterday from you and ASG. Thank you very much! It moves us. If you find yourselves in our part of the world, I hope you call. You will always be welcome in our home!

Sincerely and with great affection.

Thank you to everyone at ASG, and to Dr. Strom, for my dog Sadie. Her recovery from the TPLO surgery has been great, and she’s back to her old games of chasing squirrels and lizards in the park! We spent a few hours romping around Griffith today and it’s such a joy to see her happily trotting along the trails again.

You all gave her such wonderful care.  Thank you so much.

Dear ASG,

Thank you for taking such care of Rusty and keeping him with us, he gives our family so much joy.

We love this picture of Rusty!

Cannot say enough nice things about ASG… anytime my pups need emergency care my entire family knows that they are not to be taken anywhere else but ASG… this hospital is filled with hard working, diligent, knowledgeable and most importantly compassionate staff.. from the moment we step into the office starting from the front desk, vet techs and doctors… ASG saved Nimo’s life and we will be forever grateful… ♥

Dear Dr. Huber & Dr. Wong and all my friends at ASG -

I feel great!! Thank you so much. We are very appreciative for everything you have done to help Friskers stay healthy!

Thank you to the staff at ASG in Glendale, CA.  I brought Lucy, our 9 year old white bull terrier in after her regular vet in Burbank, CA took x-rays and said we should have the electric tea lights that she had ingested the day before, removed via gastronomy surgery at your offices.  You guys were quick, efficient, professional, open 24 hours and your facilities seem as though they can accommodate any animal (possibly even human?) emergency and/or general office visit.  Lucy was out of surgery within two hours and we received a call in that time assuring us that she was resting well, their were no complications, and in addition to the two electric tea lights, the surgeon located a toy police badge, a toy mask, and particles of a CD she tried to ingest on the way to ASG for this surgery!

We have been informed by the staff that she is gaining her appetite (I don’t think she ever lost it?), resting comfortably, recovering well and we will get to bring her home soon.

You guys really know your poo.
