Lap of Love - Berks & Lehigh Counties

Lap of Love – Berks & Lehigh Counties is a compassionate, in-home veterinary hospice and euthanasia service dedicated to providing comfort, dignity, and support to families facing the end of their pet’s life. Serving Berks and Lehigh Counties, our team of licensed veterinarians and caring coordinators brings professional expertise directly to your doorstep, ensuring beloved companions can cross the rainbow bridge peacefully, surrounded by the people and places they love most.

Compassion & Empathy at Every Step

Choosing to say goodbye to a pet is one of the hardest decisions an owner can make. From the very first phone call, you’ll encounter genuine empathy and warmth. Coordinators like A.A. and T.L. become your calm, understanding advocates—listening closely, answering questions with kindness, and arranging same-day visits whenever possible. Veterinarians such as Dr. Becky and Dr. Amy Parrish are renowned for their heartfelt approach:

• “She takes great care, with love and kindness… we will be forever grateful. Thank you, Johanna.”
• “Dr. Amy came to us with complete compassion, patience, kindness, comfort, and support.”

Unmatched Professionalism & Expertise

While empathy paves the path, professionalism and medical expertise guide the journey. Our veterinarians hold advanced training in feline and canine hospice care, pain management, and gentle euthanasia techniques. They explain each step clearly and respectfully, helping you feel confident that you’re making the best choice for your pet’s comfort. As one client shared, “She was very professional and helped me realize very quickly I was doing what was best. Dr. Parrish provided not only professional care but also heartfelt compassion, ensuring our cat was at peace.”

Peaceful Home Comfort & Convenience

There’s profound comfort in familiar surroundings. Instead of transporting your pet to a clinical setting, our veterinarians come to you—whether that’s your living room, backyard patio, or pet’s favorite sunny spot by the window. This home-based approach minimizes stress and allows pets to remain calm, secure, and pain-free until the very end. “We were so glad we didn’t have to take her to the vet and get her worked up. It was as peaceful as it could possibly be,” one family reflected after their at-home appointment.

Prompt Scheduling & Clear Communication

When time is of the essence, you need a team that responds swiftly and communicates openly. Lap of Love – Berks & Lehigh Counties strives for same-day or next-day scheduling. Our empathetic phone staff coordinate details, confirm logistics, and follow up to ensure the visit aligns with your family’s needs. One pet owner described it best: “They were able to respond to our home on the same day that we needed them to, and that was huge for us.”

Gentle Grief & Ongoing Emotional Support

The decision to euthanize a pet often triggers deep grief. We don’t consider our service complete when the appointment ends. Dr. Becky, Dr. Amy Parrish, and our team provide follow-up calls, personalized handwritten notes, and resource referrals to help you through mourning and adjustment. “Dr. Parrish offered incredible grief support, checking in with us even after our cat’s passing,” remembers one client. Another family was touched by the simple kindness of a card: “A few days later, we received a handwritten note from Dr. Becky—something you don’t get nowadays.”

Quality, Value, and Transparency

We recognize that quality in-home end-of-life care represents an investment. Our fees reflect specialized training, mobile service, personalized support, and the tender attention each pet deserves. While most families feel the value far outweighs the cost, we understand budget concerns. Every inquiry is treated with honesty—our coordinators will explain fees upfront and help you understand all available options.
