No corporate group affiliation is mentioned in the available sources.

From the latest reviews, owners most often describe end-of-life appointments at home where pets were kept calm with family present, with clear step-by-step explanations and no sense of being rushed (including one review that mentions the vet stayed for about an hour). Reviews also mention responsive scheduling in urgent situations (rearranging plans for a same-day need) and support by message during a crisis. A separate theme is handling anxious/reactive dogs during at-home visits.
