Grief counselling
Losing a pet can be devastating. Our pets are family members and the grieving process can be very difficult following the death of a treasured companion animal.
Our vets are happy to speak with you at any time. It can especially be helpful to talk if your pet has an advanced illness or is getting old and frail and you are concerned about the difficult decisions ahead.
If you feel you need support and help after the loss of a pet, you might find the following information and links useful:
Dr David Foote is a veterinarian, counsellor and educator whose fields of special interest include pet bereavement and stress management. David offers bereavement counselling for pet owners at his website.
Dr Katrina Warren established a website, Our Wonderful Pets, to honour her much-loved dog Toby and cat Milly. The site provides information for people suffering after losing a pet.
