Nobody can prepare you for how much it hurts.
A pet is a family member, and the hole they leave can be huge. They are the greeting at the door, the shape at the end of the bed or the duvet stealer. The companion who knew your routines better than anyone. And when they die, the grief can be immense.
These guides are for everything that comes with it. What to do with your pet's ashes, from scattering somewhere they loved to keeping them close. How to choose the words for a pet memorial stone when a whole life has to fit into a line or two. And the questions people are sometimes embarrassed to ask their vet.
Read them in any order. Take what helps and leave the rest. And if you can't find the answer you need, call us on 01392 925061. We are a friendly personal business; we have animals of our own and lost a number too over the years - so we understand what you're going through. There is always a person on the end of the phone to help.
