Saying Goodbye
As pet owners we all hope that our pets will live healthily to a ripe old age and when their time has come, they will curl up and go off to sleep in a favourite spot in the home. Unfortunately, it does not always work out this way, and we may be faced with the difficult decision to let our pet go.
We understand this will be an emotional period for all involved, and therefore we do our best to provide a quiet and respectful time and place for the euthanasia to be carried out. Most euthanasia take place at the practice in a private room or for dogs we can use our peaceful garden if you would prefer for a non-clinical and peaceful setting.
We’re here to take the weight off your back.
Making the decision to say goodbye to your pet is one of the toughest you will ever make. Pets provide us with unconditional love, friendship and comfort, so it is normal to have intense or conflicting emotions when it comes to euthanasia.
Euthanasia procedures
The Vet will talk you through the procedure in advance. Many owners like to be present and remain with their pet, however, some prefer to remember them in better days so choose not to stay.
Taking your pets home
Once the euthanasia has been carried out the final decision for an owner to make is how to take care of their pet’s body. A small number of owners choose to take their pet home for home burial.

We understand there is a lot to consider at this difficult time, but we hope that this page provides you with the necessary information to make the decisions clearer. However, if you have any further questions regarding euthanasia then please do not hesitate to contact us.
Our memorial tree
During Christmas 2023 we ran a memorial tree which proved so popular we decided to keep it in place for those who have lost their beloved companion. The memorial tree is for your beloved pets who have passed to rainbow bridge.
Tags are available in our waiting room to add your pets name and a personal message. Alternatively, if you are unable to come into the practice please click on the link below and we will add it to the tree for you.
The tags will be removed once the tree is full and then added here
