I probably smiled too much as I walked into the classroom of vet nursing students… was so excited that they are the veterinary future- it was super special to teach about Good Euthanasia

I hope I didn’t talk too much- just such an important part of our veterinary responsibility and I can’t help being passionate about how well it can be done.

Nice to hear at the end about what each vet nurse student thinks their vet practice is doing really well for euthanasias

Always a personal treat to give blood, especially since student days when that was the only useful donation I could give!

Did you know pets can give blood too?

Donor dogs must meet specific health criteria, including being between one and eight years old and weighing over 25kg…. It’s usually done for another one of their pack but you can also contact your own vet if they have a register or the UK pet blood bank.

Both Astrid and Myrtle have helped out and got whopping treats afterwards!

It may seem like a strange thing as all veterinary professionals can perform pet euthanasias, but as professionals who provide this as a specialised service we look for this sign…

It just means we have completed a more intense training course so that what we do has been thought about in great depth to allow the best of care to all our patients and owners (and a little bit of self care)

It takes time to complete the course but it really does change the way you do things for the better and we are proud of it

So that’s why you see it on our website ☺️

One of the most frequently asked questions we get is if other pets should be present at euthanasias.

We always recommend them having the option of being part of it, in fact it is a good reason to say goodbye at home so that they can understand the change better.

All pets will respond differently and some we have seen touch noses with their companions, some have remained quiet in the background, but if they have the opportunity, they will find their own way to come to terms with the change.

We don’t ‘move on’ from grief, we ‘move forward with it’
I was so emotionally affected by this TED talk, I had to stop on my run and breathe.
This is just what we want to achieve too- encourage people to feel more comfortable talking about the uncomfortable.
