๐ŸŒŸ Your Say: Does Society Truly Acknowledge Pet Loss? ๐ŸŒŸ

When a beloved pet passes away, the grief can be as deep and profound as losing a human family member. Yet, many people feel that society doesnโ€™t fully recognise or validate the emotional weight of this loss.

๐Ÿพ Have you ever experienced comments such as โ€œItโ€™s just a petโ€ or felt pressured to โ€œmove onโ€ quickly?
๐Ÿพ Do you think thereโ€™s enough supportโ€”such as bereavement leave or grief resourcesโ€”for pet parents during this difficult time?

We want to hear your thoughts: ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ’ญ
Do you think society fully acknowledges the depth of grief when a pet diesโ“ Why or why not โ“

๐ŸŒŸ Remote First Aid ๐ŸŒŸ

What do to when you're miles away from a vetโ“

Travelling with your dog and enjoying the great outdoors together can be a wonderful experience. But what happens when something goes wrong and your pet requires urgent veterinary treatment? โ—๏ธ๐Ÿšจ
Snake bites, 1080 poisoning, lacerations and heat exhaustion are just some of the emergencies that vets receive calls about. Unfortunately there isn't always a vet nearby when you're holidaying in a rural area.

We recommend the following:
๐Ÿ˜ Stay calm
โ˜Ž๏ธ Call your vet or the local emergency vet centre to get advice.
๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ Call someone to help you move your dog if they canโ€™t walk.
๐Ÿš— Keep a towel in the car so that you can bundle your dog in, or use it to drag your dog.
๐Ÿฉธ If your pet is bleeding, apply firm pressure or a bandage to the wound.
๐Ÿฅต Heat stroke: Move your pet to a cool location and offer cool water. Apply cold water to your petโ€™s paw pads, and drape a towel soaked in cool water over them.

If you are planning to travel to a remote location with your pet, please don't hesitate to call your vet for advice before leaving home.๐Ÿ’ž

๐ŸŒŸ Aftercare Arrangement ๐ŸŒŸ

After your pet has passed peacefully, we will arrange collection from your home. ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒผ Dr Patrick will be on hand to help with larger dogs if required, collect a hair cutting if requested, and send a courtesy notification to your regular vet practice.
The following day Dr Patrick will give you a call to follow up and answer any questions you may have. You will be contacted to confirm the cremation arrangements for your pet, and to ensure that any special requests are handled sensitively and respectfully. ๐Ÿพ

๐ŸŒŸ A Special Place ๐ŸŒŸ

There's a special place our dear pets go,
When their time on earth is through.
The Rainbow Bridge, not far away,
Makes all our pets brand new.
Their health restored, they wait for us,
Just this side of Heaven.
Then when it's time, we'll reunite,
And cross the bridge together.

๐ŸŒŸ Brownie the Town Dog ๐ŸŒŸ

Daytona Beach, Florida U.S.A ๐Ÿพ

Owned by no one but beloved by all, Brownie, a large, brown short-haired stray dog, lived on Beach Street for 15 years, and became known far beyond his seaside home as the Town Dog of Daytona Beach. Locals, Beach Street merchants and tourists all donated funds to keep Brownie well fed and well cared for, and they even established a Florida Bank and Trust account in his name to make sure there was always enough money to buy dog food and pay vet bills. Each year, the townspeople bought Brownie a dog license, his tag always #1โ€”signifying that he was the official goodwill ambassador for the town.

When Brownie died on Halloween in 1954 at the age of 15, the entire city mourned the good boyโ€™s passing and 75 people attended his funeral. The mayor gave the eulogy. ๐Ÿ’ž

๐ŸŒŸ Grieving and Nutrition: Caring for Yourself in Loss ๐ŸŒŸ

The loss of a beloved pet can deeply affect your appetite, making it hard to focus on nourishing yourself. While grief takes its toll, remember that taking care of your body is an important step in healing.

If full meals feel overwhelming, try these simple, nourishing options:
๐Ÿฅ— A smoothie packed with fruits, spinach and a scoop of protein powder
๐Ÿฒ A warm bowl of soup or broth for comfort and hydration
๐Ÿž Whole-grain toast with avocado or a spread you enjoy
๐ŸŽ Fresh fruits or nuts for quick, healthy snacks

Gentle nourishment helps you find the strength to process your emotions. Start small, and be kind to yourself as you navigate this journey. ๐Ÿ’œ

๐ŸŒŸ Client Testimonial ๐ŸŒŸ

"I can't express enough gratitude for Dr. Patrick and his incredible support during such a difficult time. From our very first phone call, he provided reassurance and compassion when we needed it most. When it came time to say goodbye to our beloved Gizmo, Dr. Patrick treated both him and us with the utmost respect and kindness. The thoughtful memorial touches after his passing brought us great comfort and made a world of difference. If you find yourself in the heartbreaking position of having to say goodbye to your pet, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Dr. Patrick. Thank you, Dr. Patrick, from the depths of our hearts. Your kindness will always be remembered."

๐ŸŒŸ Allowing Silence: A Moment for Reflection ๐ŸŒŸ

In the journey of healing after the loss of a beloved pet, thereโ€™s power in stillness. Sometimes, the most profound way to honour your petโ€™s memory is through quiet reflection.
Find a peaceful space, light a candle or hold a cherished memento. Sit in silence and let your emotions flow freelyโ€”grief, love, gratitude or simply the weight of their absence.
This moment is for you and your pet, a time to connect with the memories that will always be a part of your heart.

Silence doesnโ€™t mean youโ€™re alone. Itโ€™s a way to acknowledge your love and the unique bond you shared. ๐Ÿ’œ

๐ŸŒˆ Saying Goodbye with Compassion and Care ๐ŸŒˆ

Dear Pet Parents,

We understand how incredibly difficult it is to say goodbye to your beloved furry family members. To help make this process as gentle and stress-free as possible, we invite you to complete our online form. By clicking the link below, you can provide important information about your pet without the need for a conversation during such an emotional time.

๐Ÿ”—https://form.jotform.com/241267931854867

๐Ÿ’™ The form asks for details such as:
๐Ÿ”นYour name and contact information
๐Ÿ”น Your petโ€™s name, age, weight, species (dog or cat), breed and gender
๐Ÿ”น Diagnosis of your petโ€™s current condition

๐Ÿ’™ You can also choose from our appointment options:
๐Ÿ”นOption 1 - The Perfect Goodbye (The most popular option) This is a one hour visit with a memorial process that will honour your pet. This fee covers up to 40 km from Perth.
Highly recommended if you have a very deep bond with your pet, have children or family present at the appointment. The total fee is $495.

๐Ÿ”นOption 2 - The Essential - is from $395. This is a half hour visit without the memorial.
The Euthanasia process is the same as the Perfect Goodbye Option. I will send you a customised fee based on travel distance & your petโ€™s body weight.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Please note: These fees do not include Aquamation or Cremation.

We are here to support you through this heartbreaking time with the utmost compassion and empathy. Your petโ€™s comfort and your peace of mind are our top priorities. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฉต

Warmest regards,
Dr. Patrick

๐ŸŒŸ Keeping Your Senior Dog Cool in Summer ๐ŸŒŸ

When itโ€™s hot outside itโ€™s especially important to protect senior pets from temperature extremes. Older dogs can be more sensitive to hot weather than younger dogs and may fall victim to heatstroke more quickly. โ˜€๏ธ

Here are some ways we can moderate the environment or make lifestyle changes to help our golden oldies stay comfortable when the mercury is rising.

๐ŸŒฌ Provide easy access to an air-conditioned environment, particularly if your dog has heart or respiratory problems.
๐ŸŒณ Provide plenty of shade outdoors. If you donโ€™t have trees to provide shade, set up a tarp or other overhead covering.
๐Ÿ’ง Make sure there is plenty of cool water available. Throw some ice cubes into your dog's water bowl and change the water once or twice a day.
๐ŸŒŠ Bring out the kiddie pool and fill it up to a safe level for your dog to lie down in.
๐Ÿ•โ€๐Ÿฆบ Walks are important for senior dogs, but if youโ€™re used to going on a lunchtime outing or heading out right after work, you may want to alter your schedule as your dog gets up in years. Go early in the morning or wait until sunset when the heat isnโ€™t shimmering off the sidewalk.
