From Dr. Thomassen,

Meet our long-time clients – the Giddings Family!  We have loved all of their cocker spaniels through the years, and are so excited to welcome their newest cocker Claddy to our Gentle Doctor family!

Tell us about your family – humans and pets!

The Giddings family has been with Gentle Doctor for over forty-five years. My parents used Bob, and Kathy and myself have been with them for thirty years.

Claddy, the Newest Member of the Family

What do the adults in the family do for a living and for fun? 

Travel and raise cocker spaniels

What do the kids in the family do for fun?

Travel

Tell us more about the pets you have now and the pets you have had in the past.

We have had four cocker spaniels,  Jeepers, Gabby, which was patient of the decade, and Bally and Dublin. Now we have #5 with Claddy.

Gabby

Tell us about when you first met the Gentle Doctor team or a story about the team others may not know. 

We are like family, forty-five plus years with them.

What have you learned about pets that you did not know as a kid or before you had your own pets? 

It hurts so much to lose them, but they give so much pleasure and love while they are with you.

Do you have wisdom about any medical conditions that you could share with someone who is perhaps just starting to walk their pet through a similar situation? 

Trust Gentle Doctor. They love your pets.

Do you have a favorite breed or type of pet?

Cockers

Jeepers

Is there anything else we should include in your story? 

The care and love they show during hard times is unbelievable.

It’s great when they are healthy and vibrant, but the days of loss  they were always with Kathy and me.
