Beloved Pet Funeral Care

29/05/2026

Many of us can relate to this.

"Having worked in many Funeral Parlours and supported families through the loss of their human relatives and comparing this experience to supporting families in Beloved Pet Funeral Care, over the last 5 years, we see the pain and grief of losing a beloved pet can be much harder to bear" (Stephanie)

The unconditional love which never changes throughout the years,
the daily routines,
the non-judgemental companionship during challenging times,
the reason to do things,
the silent rock so you don't have to talk or explain to,
their unconditional acceptance ...
these can all be reasons why losing a beloved pet may be much harder than losing a human family member.

As rabbits are unable to sweat or pant, they are very vulnerable and susceptible to heatstroke / heat exhaustion.

Please read the following for signs and there is also a link on this information on how to keep them cool this summer.

Some useful information regarding heat stroke in dogs (hopefully you wont need it but handy to have).

Please think twice about leaving your dog in a car (even for a couple of minutes to pop in to a shop) or walking your dog in this hot weather.

We hope all your faithful friends stay well and as cool as possible this summer. x

⚠️ HEATSTROKE IN DOGS – PLEASE READ ⚠️

With temperatures in Scotland reaching 24°C this week, we want to raise awareness about the very real dangers of heatstroke in pets.

Meet handsome Chester, who was treated yesterday as an emergency after suffering severe heatstroke. His temperature reached 40°C; dangerously high for a dog. Normal temperatures range from 37.5°C–39.2°C.

Chester arrived struggling to breathe, with grey mucous membranes indicating critically poor oxygenation. He required emergency treatment including active cooling, oxygen therapy and intubation.

Thankfully, after around an hour of intensive care, medication and active cooling, Chester began to improve. Seeing his colour return after oxygen support was a huge relief for everyone involved. His temperature returned to normal and he was monitored closely overnight in hospital. However, the outcome could very easily have been tragic.

Heatstroke can happen suddenly and is a life-threatening emergency.

🐾 Signs of heatstroke include:
Excessive panting
Difficulty breathing
Lethargy or collapse
Vomiting or diarrhoea
Drooling
Bright red, pale or grey gums
Weakness or confusion

❄️ If you suspect heatstroke:
Move your dog to a cool, shaded area immediately
Pour cool (not ice-cold) water over their body and coat
Use cool, wet towels UNDER the patient, not over them
Place wrapped ice packs beneath the body if available
Offer small amounts of cool water
Contact your vet immediately

⚠️ Important:
Avoid placing soaked towels over your dog, as this can trap heat and reduce effective cooling. Continuous monitoring is essential, as overcooling can also be dangerous.

Please remember:
🐶 Never leave dogs in cars
🐶 Avoid walks during the hottest parts of the day
🐶 Take extra care with brachycephalic breeds, older dogs, overweight pets and those with underlying health conditions

If in doubt, seek veterinary advice immediately. Heatstroke can become fatal within minutes.

Thank you very much to beloved Ailsa's family for taking the time to write this kind recommendation of our dignified individual service at such a heartbreaking time.
As you can see from her photo, Ailsa was a beautiful girl both inside and out. She was the centre of her family's universe and has left very large paw prints on their hearts. It was an honour to be chosen to care for gorgeous Ailsa so she could rest in a bed and blanket in our care, with dignity and love and receive the utmost compassion for her individual cremation.
RIP Ailsa x

We had to say goodbye to our goofball, Ailsa on the 27th of April after nearly 12 years of much love, mud and laughter. She meant the world to us so we decided to put our trust in Beloved Pet Funeral Care to take her on her final journey and I am so glad we did! From picking her up at the vets to her cremation, they showed Ailsa the love, respect and dignity that she truly deserved. I cannot thank the staff enough. It truly meant the world to us... when we picked Ailsa's ashes up, the staff were so kind and caring, knowing just what to say and they seemed genuinely interested in her. The personal touches that they added were very special and greatly appreciated. We cannot recommend this company highly enough they were simply outstanding. Thank you x
