Testimonials
Dr. Dana C. Allen is a wonderful provider of care during the heart breaking time of having to lose a beloved pet. I was scheduled to have my baby euthanized on a Monday and his pain got so bad that she came out on Sunday, even though she already had other clients booked for the day. She came right away that Sunday morning to relieve my angel boy out of pain. I would highly, highly recommend her. Thank you Dr. for allowing my baby to just gently pass away on his couch surrounded by our love.

Our precious kitty was very old and was in terrible shape and Dr Allen came on a Sunday Night and helped Cho-Cho across Rainbow Bridge. Dr Allen's kindness was unprecedented! Cho-Cho cross over in his home surrounded by Love ! Thank You Dr Allen
Jennifer W.
Dr. Allen was everything we needed during our saddest moment. She allowed our emotional family to find peace for our sweet pups passing. Very compassionate and exactly what we needed. Our baby was peaceful at home in our arms. When you know it’s time don’t hesitate to reach out to Dr. Allen. She even returned our babies ashes within a few days. We can’t thank her enough for allowing us to have this moment together!

Dr. Allen was incredible through the whole experience. My family couldn't be more grateful for her calm and caring services through such a devastating loss. Thank you for everything, Dr. Allen.
Jennah J.
Dr Allen assisted our senior Springer across the rainbow bridge several days ago. Her kindness and compassion in this process was very much appreciated and we can’t thank her enough. Our boy has always been terrified at the vet offices we’ve had him to, and even with a vet that does home visits. For some reason, he was relaxed with Dr. Allen, and that made his transition that much easier on him and us. We are so grateful that The Rainbow Connection exists, and highly recommend Dr. Allen to anyone who is considering at home euthanasia for their beloved pet.

What impressed me was how Dana called me back, answered her phone, re arranged her schedule, etc to accommodate my family during a really chaotic and emotional time. Our dog Marlee got to pass away at home in her bed eating meat loaf and steak with everyone kissing and petting her. Thanks Dana.
