Our Philosophy
There is something truly special about the love of a beloved pet. Once experienced, the heart recognizes this special truth, especially in loss. The name TenderHeart refers to all who have been deeply touched by the loss of a dear pet. To have a pet and love that pet dearly, is an invitation to become a Tenderheart.
A Tenderheart then, is one who strives to be a gentle, sincere, understanding, nonjudgmental and compassionate presence throughout the entire end of life process. TenderHearts know first-hand how important it is to have a kind and supportive person walk this journey with you.
Dr Melissa, as well as the staff at Riverview Animal are here for you. It is an honor to be of service to you and your pet in this difficult time.
