Dear Dr. Gilley and Dr. Herman: My family and I wish to sincerely thank you for the care that you provided for our beloved pet cat Softie during her final illness. We brought her to you because the caliber of care we have become accustom to at Providence Veterinary Hospital is overwhelmingly superior to what we have experienced elsewhere. The thoroughness of your examination provided a comprehensive view of her overall health, which enabled us to fully understand her prognosis and treatment options related to the FIV which she had contracted. Softie was euthanized at an emergency animal hospital during the early morning hours of Thursday, June 1, 2006... The fact that a simple vaccination may have prevented her from falling victim to FIV in the first place makes her loss all the more difficult to bear. We always brought her to the vet at the first sign of illness, but as we learned, it is also important to maintain vaccinations for the diseases which pets are susceptible to. Possibly because we did not do this, Softie is now with us only in our hearts and our memories. Nothing can reverse our loss, but the next best thing is that others may gain from our experience by ensuring their pets' vaccinations are maintained current. You are welcome to use this letter any way you like if you feel it will encourage others to attend to their pets' vaccination needs. Thank you ---WK, Dimock, PA

We want to thank Dr. Herman for his help with our two dogs. As new dog owners, we really appreciated the care and attention you gave them. Your examination of Chubby and Boo-Boo made us all happier because we now have a better understanding of our pets and their health. Thank you again. --PC,New York City

Hi Dr. Herman and Staff: Beck is doing just fine. Appetite good, eyes clear, not much if any blood in urine that I can see. She seems so happy now and her incision is healing nicely. It is dry and does not appear to bother her at all. She is acting like nothing even happened. You are an excellent surgeon and I appreciate all you and your staff did for Becky. I just checked out your web-site and I love it. It is very informative, well written and the i-cons are really neat. Like the little cats and dogs that blink about the web pages. I'll be there on Thursday evening with Becky to have her sutures removed. Bye ---K&BN

My family has been with you since about 1978. You have been there for us in both the good times and bad. And as always you are very helpful and understanding. We just were in on Monday night for Buddy's check. Dr Herman was very helpful with our recent tick problem. We got all sorts of stuff that will hopefully control and eliminate the ticks. Just checking out the web site. Looks good! I have book marked it and can't wait to see the new letter online. Keep up the good work. ---B&BH

Hello. I've been a K-9 caretaker (rather than saying I'm an owner) for more years than I care to say. As you know, as caretakers, our loyal companions are with use for--what seems to short of time. You know, they're family. Ever since PVH's first issue of "The Critter Chronicle," I've found it to be a wealth of health information. Several times PVH has informed us, using "The Critter Chronicle" about the importance of dental care. During routine teeth scaling, it was discovered that Shasta had chipped a tooth. At first glance some might say that's no big deal. Would you, like me, be on the phone with our dentist, immediately if it were us? We would set-up this appointment because we know once the enamel is removed the tooth will not go too far before the tooth started to smart as bacteria started to eat away at the soft underlying. This could be followed into root canal work, tooth loss, and abscess. Not only to mention the increased monitory costs, but what about our companion's health. Like us, the older we get the more important, I've found, It is to have professional dental hygiene care. I've learned the older we and our pets get the more strain infections places on our immune system. I fully believe that good dental care could ad more healthier years to both of us. Thank you PVH for your thorough health exams of our pets. By the way, your web page deserves the awards it has received . It's packed with valuable information and help about your services for our pets. I'm hoping you'll explain what the technic used to correct Shasta's broken tooth. I understand you used state of the art procedures. Thank you, --NVE

Our family wishes to express our sincere appreciation for the expert and caring treatment you provided for our cat "Softie", whereas, another veterinarian advised us that she would likely die during surgery. Your approach of evaluating her condition with a battery of medical tests insured that surgery and the follow-up was immediately successful and without incident. We cannot believe the transformation that we have seen with our cat and acting half her age (15 years) friskily. Many, many thanks. --D,W,&W K
