"Everyone even the receptionist was very compassionate about our situation. They took us back and they had a bed for her to lay on and even treats for her to eat. They explained everything... The vet sat with us on the floor until we were ready."

— Review of Pekin Veterinary Clinic"TLDR: This is an euthanasia facility where they do not have empathy or good will. They will audibly mock you while you are present."
