My heart is SO HEAVY right now, but I have to put my thoughts of appreciation in the best words I can considering our oldest fur baby, Diesel (15 years old) just departed our lives in flesh, but not in spirit! We had 3 people refer us to Dr. Arp and gave nothing less than the best feedback you could ever receive for such a sensitive procedure and one we never thought in a million years we would have a need for. From the very first engagement I had with her up to the moment of Diesel’s final slumber, words cannot explain how at peace me, and my family are with how the entire process went. Even though it was extremely difficult to say goodbye to Diesel, considering he has been in our lives and a huge part of our family since he was 5 weeks old, I can honestly say, I cannot imagine anyone managing and caring for our situation any better than how she did. WE LOVE YOU DR. ARP and thank you for taking care of our Diesel! 💚💛💚💛💚💛

Ginger had been with me a long time. She made it almost two decades which is unheard of for a lab. When the time came to make the gut wrenching decision to let her go, I hated the thought of loading her up and taking her to a vet. Having this done at home in her spot in familiar surroundings was a clear choice for us. Dr Arp is soft-spoken with a sweet spirit. Ginger was never nervous or upset. She was ready to go and the process was carried out with such care, compassion and dignity. I highly recommend Bay Creek. Although I hope I never have to, I would certainly use them again.

Absolutely wonderful, caring animal loving team. I loved their compassion and having the opportunity to say goodbye to our Dog in our home. I loved that our sweet girl was able to stay home and not have the added stress with taking her to the vet. My husband and I are very pleased and would 10 fold recommend this family owned animal loving team 🌹thank you Dr Arp & Stella!

Some say the last loving gift we can give our dog is to say goodbye and let them go. To us, making the decision is heartbreaking. I'm forever grateful for Dr Arps compassion and patience with our sweet Teabow. She has a unique and special gift to handle dogs and their family during this most difficult time. To provide these services in the comfort of our home is invaluable. Dr Arps knowledge and love through Teabows hospice care to her peaceful passing provides comfort and peace we made the correct decision. Forever Grateful!

There are not enough words to express the praise and gratitude I have for Dr. Arp. I am new to the area and have taken my pets to a family vet for the best 15 years, but now I live in Walnut Grove and they are in Lithonia. I had a precious dog named Hope and her sister Faith, for the past 12 years. They are wonderful dogs, but Hope is the most loyal and sensitive. She was diagnosed with kidney disease last July. She put up a great fight, but is was very obvious last week that she was getting progressively worse. Hope has always hated to go in the car and to go to the vet. I could not see taking that long trek with her in this condition. I googled mobile vets, and thankfully for me, Bay Creek came up with fabulous reviews! I called them on Wednesday and they were at my house Thursday afternoon. Both Dr. Arp and her husband were so compassionate to Hope and me. What should have been an awful experience, was not, thanks to them. Dr. Arp even wrote a sympathy card. It was not just signed but she wrote such a wonderful, caring card! How many people actually do that in this day and age. She is truly an angel on Earth! What a blessing!

My first interaction with Dr. Arp was with my mother-in-law and her elderly dog, Bonkers. My mother-in-law had been delaying the inevitable for months. Finally, she agreed that Bonkers needed to be relieved of her pain.
Dr. Arp took her time with comforting Bonkers, my mother-in-law and my husband when she came to the home to help Bonkers cross over the rainbow bridge. Her compassion for animals and their family members is evident in everything she does. She made a very tough situation a lot more bearable. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Arp.

Dr. Arp's service was invaluable to our family. Having a beloved pet put to sleep is such a hard thing to go through. Recently she helped us when it came time to put our poodle to sleep. She was 16 years old and started experiencing seizures and pain. I called and Dr. Arp came over. She discussed some options for possibly keeping our dog comfortable for a while longer. It was nice to have someone to talk to and have choices. After considering what was best we decided to have her put to sleep. I had gated her in our large master bathroom and master closet to keep her safe and separate from our other pets. Dr. Arp did not mind at all when I asked her to come where our pet was so I didn't have to bring her out of her safe/familiar area. Dr. Arp, myself and my husband all were seated in the master closet where our dog was and Dr. Arp began her work. She made sure everything was done with the utmost care. I have had pets put to sleep at the vets office over the years but being able to be home where it is private and where our pet was not scared means so much to me. I am very grateful to have her to call on.

We found out about Dr. Arp and Bay Creek Mobile Vet from our vet, Dr. Wallis, and we called her when we had to say goodbye to our nearly 14-year-old Vizsla, Rocky. It was a heartbreaking time for our family. Yet, Dr. Arp's compassion, caring nature and calm presence helped ease Rocky's journey as well as our pain. We are so thankful Dr. Arp does what she does, and she does it with a loving heart and gentle touch.
