To my dear Dove Mountain clients,
It is with a bit of a heavy heart that I write this letter to make an announcement. After nearly a decade of service to the community of Dove Mountain Veterinary, I have made the difficult decision to take a shift in my career path. I will be parting from Dove Mountain Veterinary, to explore the opportunity to serve my patients in a slightly different capacity. My final shift here at Dove Mountain will be Tuesday, February 17th. While I will continue part time private practice clinical work, I am also starting a part time in-home euthanasia practice (Paws in the Sunset In-Home Pet Euthanasia). I have long believed that the ability to grant a humane, and kind, good-bye to our beloved pets is one of the greatest gifts I can give as a veterinarian. My hope is to be able to give that gift to more pets in our community, in the comfort of their own home.
To all of my lovely clients who over the many years have entrusted your pet’s care to me- I sincerely thank you. I am constantly humbled by the kindness, trust, and commitment you have all shown me. I also thank you for every sweet letter, card, or gift that you have ever bestowed upon me. Those all sit at my office desk, and serve as a reminder of the wonderful community I am so lucky have grown with. I truly cherish the past 9+ years of shared laughs, tears, stories, successes, good-byes, and then of course the fun hellos to new little companions. As I move on to my next chapter, I will carry all those memories with me. Also, know that I leave you all in the very capable hands of my skilled colleagues- Drs. Campbell, Gamez, Horton, and Laton. They will take excellent care of all of your pets, and be there for you all in my stead. Thank you all, for choosing me to be your veterinarian- you will be missed!
All the best,
Dr. Carpenter
