Pet Bereavement Support

Often your dog, cat or horse becomes part of your family and shares so many experiences and events with you, the highs and the lows, always there to provide a listening ear and a warm snuggle. It's no wonder they hold a special place in our hearts and truely are our best friends.
When the time comes to say goodbye, each individual processes and comes to term with the loss in their own unique way, whether you are an adult, child, male or female the grief can be overwhelming and affect your daily life in the intial weeks and months.
