What is your availability?
Dr. Raby-Grabow realizes we can never truly plan for when it is time to say good-bye to our beloved pets. She is available by appointments Tuesday-Friday generally afternoon or evening. Weekends and other times can be schedule depending on availability. Call or email for scheduling questions.
What areas do you serve?
Dr. Raby-Grabow services an area with a 50 mile radius of her home in Plaza, ND. This stretches approximately from Bowbells to Garrison, Glenburn to New Town, and Tioga to Velva. (Including Minot and Minot AFB). Further appointments may be considered with mileage fee.
Can I be with my pet through the whole process?
Absolutely, we realize many pets struggle with visits to the veterinary office; especially the last trip. Hugs at Home understands you want to maximize your time with your pet and allows you to stay with them throughout the process.
How do I know when it is time?
This is the most difficult of questions, there are many differing opinions, but it all boils down to quality of life. To help you assess that Hugs at Home has adapted the HHHHHMM scale.
What can I expect for my appointment?
It depends on which package is chosen. If you chose Good-Bye Package with pet portraits we will take 20-30 minutes catching memories by photograph.
If you chose the Farewell or So Long Package the appointments will look very similar. The Process can be found here.
