bereavement support
What support can we offer?
a el kWe often hear that friends, family or colleagues don’t quite understand the heartbreak and upset that losing a pet can bring, which means grieving for a pet can fa very lonely experience. Sometimes it helps to share these feelings with someone who knows, from personal experience, how distressing pet loss can be, and who will listen with compassion and without judgement.
Whatever you are feeling, it's completely normal.
We often hear that friends, family or colleagues don’t quite understand the heartbreak and upset that losing a pet can bring, which means grieving for a pet can be a very lonely experience. Sometimes it helps to share these feelings with someone who knows, from personal experience, how distressing pet loss can be, and who will listen with compassion and without judgement.
That's why we offer a wide range of Pet Bereavement Support services, to make sure that no matter what you need help with, you're never alone. Maybe you can’t quite find the words to express how you feel, are devastated by the absence of an animal, or you have questions about whether or not to get another pet.
It's common for people to worry they're being a burden to friends or family when it comes to experiencing grief, or you have worries about having to say goodbye to a pet who is still living. Turning to someone you know is there to listen can provide you with the safe space to discuss and work through your feelings, in your own time and way.
Please feel free to take a moment to review our In Memoriam page, dedicated to the dogs we and our clients have loved over the years.
No grief is invalid
Whether you're experiencing grief as a result of a pet passing, a theft or even the rehoming of an animal, we can help.
It doesn't matter if you are considering euthanasia, have recently had a pet put to sleep or you're calling about a loss that happened months or years ago - all grief is acknowledged and welcome.
in memoriam
Teddy
Roxy Roo
Roxy Roo
Teddy was a firecracker of a dog. Typical beagle, he was able to sniff out chicken wings, fox poop or a Greggs sausage roll from 50 paces. He will be remembered for his happy howling at the start of walks.

Roxy Roo
Roxy Roo
Roxy Roo
In her prime, Roxy was an avid stick chaser who could walk for miles. Her best friends were Penny and Stan, who she would frequently be found cuddled up next to. A loyal and loving dog, with breath that could strip wallpaper - she is very missed by all who knew her.

Cuba
Roxy Roo
Cuba
Cuba was his owner's third Vizsla and a perfect example of the breed. In his younger years, he was the most gorgeous red and enjoyed chasing squirrels. As he got older, Cuba mellowed and became more interested in sniffing bluebells. Walks along the canal will never be the same.

Jess
Chewie
Cuba
Jess had a tendency to be a little grumpy on her walks as she got older, but that's only because she'd discovered what she liked (being asleep) and what she didn't (being on walks). A gorgeous girl with the best bum wiggle EVER!

Molly
Chewie
Chewie
What Molly lacked in size she made up for in personality. An absolute pocket rocket of a dog in her prime, we only knew her as a little old lady - but she was still full of fun and determined to find the best sniffs on a walk.

Chewie loved nothing more than sleeping on Louise's foot, long walks in Sunnyhurst Woods and waiting for Adam to come home.
He was the absolute best of boys.

Penny

Penny
An American Bulldog - Dogue De Bordeaux cross, Penny was an interesting mix of both breeds. Full of energy on walks, but more than happy to snooze the rest of the day. Famous for carrying sticks the size of trees around Sunnyhurst Woods.
