End of life care - saying goodbye
As pet owners we all take responsibility for the health and well-being of our pets throughout our lives. If a pet is suffering and medication or surgery are no longer available to control this suffering, an owner may need to consider euthanasia.
Losing and grieving for a pet that has been part of your family and lived with you through important times and changes in your life can be a very sad and difficult experience. The nurses, vets and receptionists at Acorn House understand this are available to talk things over with you. Please feel free to call us if you need to speak to a member of staff.
The following links are here to help you.
