In Loving Memory

For the ones who filled a house, wore a path to the same window, and were family in every way that counts.

Every animal on this page was somebody’s. Some belonged to the people who work here; some belonged to the families who trusted us with them. What they have in common is that they were loved, and that losing them mattered.

A veterinary practice sees the whole pathway of a life — the first puppy visit, the middle years when nothing much goes wrong, and the last quiet appointment. We are present for a great deal of joy and for the hardest day too, and we do not forget the animals we looked after. This page is where we say so.

Grief for an animal is real grief. It does not need justifying to anyone, least of all to us.

There is no cost and no time limit on this. A pet who died years ago belongs here just as much as one lost last week.

If you are in the middle of it right now

Deciding when to let an animal go is the hardest thing we ask of the people who love them, and it is not a decision anyone should make alone or in a hurry. If you are weighing it, please talk to us — we would far rather have that conversation early and calmly than in a crisis.

Our senior pet care page has a quality-of-life questionnaire you can work through at home and repeat over time, which is a steadier way to judge than a single hard day.
