Not sure what to say?

So many days I remember moments with Dr Netschert and my various cats. He always had time for both humans and animals as he valued both people and their pets. My cats enjoyed their visits as he always talked to them and played with them. Our world needs more people like Jamie. It is such a loss that he died so young. Constant memories keep his special spirit alive.

Just ran across this. May Bruce Netschert rest in peace and my God bless and comfort his family. I am sorry to see his mother has since passed away also although I did not have the privilege of knowing her. I had known Bruce through work many years ago. Christ be with you.

I was just looking at the 2onderful picture I have of Dr Netschert and my cat. They both are pulling a funny face. It reminded me of tat last visit where my cat sensed something was wrong and began vocalizing before Dr Netschert stumbled and I called for help. They were so in tune and loved playing together. I can still hear his laugh and see his smile. In an all too preoccupied world it is heart warming to stop and remember a great human loved by animals and people alike.

So often I think of his smile and laughter. He cared for my cats as if they were his own. Always willing to spend that little extra time with them to comfort or play. I still cannot believe he passed away so young.

One of his many friends

I just recently found out also. Dr Netschert took care of my horses as soon as he set up his practice. He also came to my home and decided to help me cut my parakettes nails. They began to bleed and he sent me on a fast trip the drug store.
We laughed about this most every time I brought my dogs into the office. I will truly miss him and feel blessed to have kown this wonderful caring person. My he rest in peace and his family be comforted with the many great moments of happiness...

I am saddened to hear of Dr Netschert's passing. What a wonderful person and wonderful vet. Having had Dr Netschert take care of my animals for 23 years he will sorely be missed by all that knew him. Always a bright friendly face that cared so much for every animal he touched. Having just made a phone call in to make my yearly appointment and found out the news. Prayers to his family.

I first met Dr. Netschert in 1985 when we brought our dog, a lab/golden mix, "Ralph" to him. We instantly fell in love with "Jamie" and his sweet loving care of our dog. After Ralph's passing we got another lab/golden mix, our favorite breed named "Diesel". He treated him until he was 8 and was given the diagnosis of lymphoma. Dr. Netschert would meet us behind the clinic to give Diesel shots for vomiting so we didn't have to get him out of the car. We got another favorite mix after...
