It is not a vets office...it is a home - but it is not your home, which might make the memory easier.

So often, senior pets are overlooked in the shelters

Some pets love to dress up...others despise any type of clothes / costumes / hats. Which type of pet do you have? Share a picture of them wearing a Halloween costume, or just their adorable face!!

Our next monthly Pet Illness & Loss Grief Support Group is planned for Saturday NOVEMBER 14th. 💜 Some people come when they are in the planning phase, dealing with anticipatory grief. Others come a few days, a few weeks, or even a few years after a loss. If you feel that you could benefit from talking with others who understand...we welcome you 💜

The session will be from 9:30-10:30am (though sometimes we continue until about 11am). It will be held at the Pets At Rest Hospice & Home Euthanasia Comfort Center in Creve Coeur, and we will have snacks and drinks available.

Please let us know if you have questions. Spaces are limited, but we will try to include as many as possible.

If you plan to attend, please call, text, or email the office - 314.334.8010, [email protected] - we would be glad to have you 💙🐾💜

Halloween weekend is almost here! There is so much fall fun, and so many activities planned for your whole family to enjoy - but what about your pets? Will they enjoy it too?

Here are a few tips to keep your pets happy and safe during this fun and busy time of year 💙🐾💜

-keep candy put away - dogs and cats are curious, and can quickly get themselves into trouble!
-if you are hosting trick-or-treaters, put your pets in a different part of the house, so they don't accidentally slip out the door and get lost!
-before Halloween night, be sure your pets all have current ID tags, and that their microchip ID info is up to date!
-if you're going to put a costume on your pet, make sure it is a comfy one, and that they are supervised - costumes can quickly be eaten (causing risk of a foreign body / surgery) or get twisted around a leg or neck (causing dangerous and even life threatening situations)
-keep decorations away from your pets, to be sure nothing falls on them or is ingested - what is fun for people can be scary and dangerous for our furry friends!

We hope you and yours have a fun and safe weekend! 💜🐾💙

Loving a senior pet comes with anticipatory grief - that small 'knowing' in the back of your mind that their life story is drawing to a close.

As you watch them go about their days, slowing down, sleeping more...your heart aches, and you wonder "how will I know it is time?" or "what should I be doing now to prepare?"

We are here to help you navigate these thoughts, and help you prepare for the future.

-You might want to talk to one of our vet techs (free of charge) via phone, email, or text. They can let you know what services we offer, and help you determine if you are close to a decision.
-You might want an in-depth quality of life conversation with one of our veterinarians. During a 30min telehealth visit, they can help you determine what is happening now, and what to expect in the future.
-If you would like a doctor to examine your pet, and be able to prescribe medication (for pain, anxiety, sleep, etc)...then an in-person hospice consultation is what you may need.
-If your pet is already at the end of their good quality time, and you can't imagine watching them continue to decline...then it may be time for a euthanasia visit. We will do our best to honor your pet's life, and give them a gentle transition, surrounded with love.

Please reach out (314-334-8010, [email protected]) if we can help in any way. You don't have to walk this journey alone

At Pets At Rest Hospice & Home Euthanasia, our staff will work with you to ensure that your pet’s passing is private, quiet, and handled with care.
