Dear Editor:
I am writing in support of Bowen Vet after the May 29 article outlining how disrespectfully they were treated by one patient after not being able to receive urgent care. We sadly had to say goodbye to our boy (see photo) and the excruciating process was made genuinely more bearable by all of the staff at Bowen Vet. As mentioned in the article, our euthanasia appointment was at the end of the day, and was organized thoughtfully and beautifully. Even in his final moments, Digit was surrounded by Dr. Midge recounting her own stories of Digit’s shenanigans and how she would miss him. Later that week there was even a condolence card in the mail, signed with heartfelt comments from all of the staff at the vet.
We are beyond fortunate to have someone like Dr. Midge on island and will never even consider taking our pets elsewhere, even if that means waiting our turn!
Gratefully,
The Jacquet Family
