Ithaca Veterinary Housecall

We are so grateful to Claire for walking us through the final days with our 14 year old dog. She is compassionate and provided the support we needed to make the decision to say goodbye to our dog. We can’t thank her enough.

I didn't end up directly receiving services, but I had left a voicemail and she was kind enough to call back. My cat had severe cancer, and was going to need to be put down. Even though she wouldn't be the one to come, she talked to me for almost a half hour trying to help me understand what to expect. She also tried to help me feel... Like I was making the right choice, because it is so hard. A wonderful woman, I would recommend her anytime

Claire Berian is the most caring vet ever. She came to my house because my 19 1/2 yr old Siamese was terminal and needed to be euthanized. He was in capable and experienced hands through T the process and passed away gently and serenely in my arms. We both cried. I'm so happy I chose her and would give her more than five stars if I could.

Wonderful communication. Promptly returned my call. Unfortunately the doctor was fully booked and unable to fit me in. She was kind, and very compassionate during our call. Would definitely call back if needed in the future.

I wish I'd gotten a chance to meet Dr Berian under happier circumstances, but the only time I or my family have used her services as opposed to a clinic based vet is unfortunately when we had a cat and had made an end of life decision for them. With both my mother's cat (roughly two years ago) and my own last month Dr Berian was extremely sympathetic and helped make the process as stress free and calm for the cat as we could possibly ask. You never want to say you're HAPPY about a pet dying, but being able to have it done at home, and done well and with obvious care, is the absolute best you can ask for so I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for anyone who needed any sort of in-home care.
