At first they need us, and then we realise we need them. We are so sorry you are having to consider this decision. We have provided some information for the euthanasia process which particularly pertains to horses, but may also be appropriate for your other dear paddock mates.
Our Experienced Equine Vets will have a chat about The Process of Euthanasia, why it sometimes may be the kindest option, and why it doesn't get any easier for the vet. (Warning: this article discusses the process of euthanasia which may be upsetting to some readers).
Options for after your pet has been euthanased:
- Burial at your property (Check with your local council and the land owner)
- Burial at a pet cemetary
- Remains removal
- Cremation for small miniatures
- Cremation for larger horses
Testimonials
"David and his team treat their client’s animals as if they were their own and have helped me and my horses in some very stressful situations over the years, thankfully, always with a excellent outcome!"
"Thank you so much for the extra good care you took of Lilly ... I’ve always been extremely happy with Dave as our vet, I think he truly does a wonderful job, and you can really see how much he cares.”
"The fact that Dave has been my vet for many years speaks volumes. Dave has a very nice manner and deals with the horses in a calm and kind way. He always takes time to explain options and procedures and to advise on what he considers to be the best course of treatment."
"Although we may have moved, we would not consider using any other veterinarian other than David to care for our horses."
