🌟 Quality of Life Assessment 🌟

Knowing when to say Goodbye can be one of the most difficult decisions to make when your pet is elderly or ill. Families don’t wish to see their pets suffer needlessly, often preferring the gift of a painless and peaceful passing under the care of their veterinarian. 🐾

A Quality of Life assessment provides you with the medical information you need to help you make the best decision for your pet, and to be adequately prepared for the next steps. At Ark Angel Vet, Dr Patrick will take the time to thoroughly examine your pet, answer any questions you may have, and provide options relevant to your pet’s condition.
Prior to our final visit, we will email you some information about the upcoming procedure. This allows you to spend your last precious moments with your pet without worrying about what to expect next.

💙🩵 To make the process of booking a Quality of Life assessment a little easier, Dr Patrick has created a form that allows you to provide information about your pet in privacy and in your own time.
👉 Visit https://form.jotform.com/241574902034048 to get started.

If you have any questions or concerns please call Dr Patrick on 0408 915 550. 📞

🌟 I Hope You Know 🌟

I hope you know how much you were loved,
From wagging tails to purrs and soft nuzzles above.
Every belly rub, each treat in my hand,
Every step we took, side by side in the sand.

I hope you felt it in every kind word,
In the way that I listened, in whispers you heard.
In the bed that stayed warm where you used to lay,
In the tears that fell softly the day you went away.

Though your paws no longer patter on the floor,
Your love still lingers, forevermore.
I hope you know, as you run free above,
You were my heart—you were so deeply loved.

❤️🌈

🌟 Post-Euthanasia Guilt: Did I Do the Right Thing? 🌟

Making the decision to euthanase a beloved pet is one of the hardest choices we face. The weight of this responsibility can lead to feelings of guilt and doubt. It’s important to remember that choosing to end your pet’s suffering is a profound act of love and compassion. 🐾🌈

Here are some thoughts to help you navigate these emotions:

💔 Acknowledge Your Feelings: It’s normal to grieve and question your decision. Allow yourself to feel and process these emotions.
❤️ Reflect on Your Pet’s Quality of Life: Consider the pain and discomfort your pet might have been experiencing. Your decision was made with their best interest at heart.
🗣️ Talk to Us: Don’t hesitate to reach out us. We’re here to support you and provide clarity on the situation.
🌟 Celebrate Their Life: Remember the joyful moments you shared with your pet. Creating a memorial or sharing stories can be healing.

You did what you believed was best for your beloved pet. Trust in the love and care you provided throughout their life. 🐾💙

🌟 The Last Time I Held You 🌟

The last time I held you, the world stood still,
Soft fur beneath my fingertips, warm and real.
I whispered your name, my voice so low,
Hoping somehow, you’d already know.

The weight of goodbye was heavy and deep,
A love too strong for time to keep.
Your eyes met mine, calm and wise,
A quiet farewell, no need for cries.

And though you’ve gone where I can’t see,
You left your love behind with me.
The last time I held you, I promised you—
I’d carry your heart as you carried mine too.

🌟 FAQ: Should my child be present at my pet's euthanasia❓🌟

A: Whether or not your child should be present during euthanasia depends on their age, maturity level and emotional readiness. Some children may find it comforting to say goodbye to their pet, while others may find it too distressing. It's essential to consider your child's feelings and provide support and explanation accordingly. If you're unsure, consulting with a therapist or pediatrician can offer valuable guidance. 🩺

Remember, every family is different, and there's no right or wrong answer. What matters most is ensuring that everyone involved feels supported and able to cope with the process in their own way. 💙

🌟 Client Testimonial 🌟

"It has taken me a very long time to write this review. We contacted Dr. Patrick back in April 2024 to help us give our precious Millie a beautiful, peaceful send off and that is exactly what he did and more. Dr Patrick was so kind, compassionate, understanding and above all patient while we said our goodbyes. Anyone who has lost a beloved pet knows how devastating it is. It was absolutely gut wrenching but Dr. Patrick made it so beautiful that I can actually look back on it now and smile. Our Millie was so at peace in her safe place at home surrounded by her loved ones as she passed on. Dr. Patrick gave us Sunflower seeds to plant in remembrance and we did that and then harvested the seeds to keep replanting and expanding the sunflower garden. It’s something I wouldn’t have thought of at the time but I’m so so glad he did. Now every time I see a sunflower I think of my Millie 🌻 thank you so so much from the bottom of bottom of my heart Dr. Patrick. You were a shining light in a very dark time. "

🌟 Myths About Grief 🌟

Grief isn’t something you “get over.” It’s something you learn to carry.

You might have heard people say:
❌ “You should be over it by now.”
❌ “You just need to stay busy.”
❌ “Getting another pet will fix it.”

But here’s the truth:
✅ Grief has no timeline. It comes in waves, even years later.
✅ Distractions don’t erase the pain—they just delay it.
✅ No pet can replace another, but love can grow again when you’re ready.

If you’re grieving, be gentle with yourself. If you know someone who is, offer patience and understanding. 💙

🌟 Share With Us: Have you ever felt a little ‘sign’ from your pet after they passed? 🌟

Have you ever felt a little ‘sign’ from your pet after they passed? Maybe it was a special song playing at just the right moment, a butterfly landing near you, or a sudden familiar scent in the air.
Some people say they hear soft footsteps, feel a gentle presence or even see their pet in dreams—small reminders that love never truly leaves us. 💞

If you’ve ever experienced a sign from your pet, we’d love to hear about it. Share in the comments if you feel comfortable. 🐾✨

🌟 Echoes 🌟

I held you close, then let you go,
A love too deep for time to slow.
Your paws once danced upon the floor,
Now echo softly, evermore.

The bed is cold, the leash untouched,
Yet still, I feel your gentle brush.
The love we shared will never fade,
In heart and memory, you’ve stayed.

No longer here, but not apart—
You live forever in my heart. 💙

🌟 Grief Support: A Self-Care Checklist for Bad Days 🌟

Grief can be unpredictable. Some days feel manageable, while others hit like a wave. On the hard days, be gentle with yourself. Here’s a simple self-care checklist to help you through:

✅ Breathe – Take a moment for slow, deep breaths. Inhale calm, exhale tension.
✅ Hydrate & Nourish – Even small sips of water or a light snack can help.
✅ Rest – Grief is exhausting. Give yourself permission to nap or relax.
✅ Connect – Reach out to a friend, support group, or loved one who understands.
✅ Express – Write in a journal, talk to your pet’s photo, or create a small tribute.
✅ Step Outside – Fresh air, even for a few minutes, can bring a little peace.

Be Kind to Yourself – However you feel today is okay. There is no right way to grieve. 💛

🌟 Coping With the Empty Space 🌟

The house feels quieter. Their favourite spot on the couch is empty. You still catch yourself listening for the sound of their paws or reaching for their leash by the door.
The spaces they filled—physically and emotionally—can feel overwhelming in their absence.

It’s okay to take your time. Some people find comfort in keeping things as they were, while others slowly repurpose spaces to honour their pet’s memory.
However you cope, there’s no right or wrong way—only what feels right for you. 💕

🌟 Client Testimonial 🌟

"I just wanted to take time to say thank you to Dr. Patrick who was very helpful and supportive to help me to go through the process of putting my dog in forever peace.
He visited my home and thanks to him my animal went through the Rainbow Bridge peacefully - with Euthanasia procedure.
My beloved Peaches she gave us a life full of joy and happiness but after long years fighting Diabetes she was tired and ready to leave this place.
This was my first experience losing family pet - it’s not easy but hopefully it becomes easier over time. Thank you again. 🌸
I highly recommend Ark Angel Vet for the best professional and supportive services and care. Please remember in these hard times we are not alone. Support and care is always available."

🌟 Share with Us: Welcoming the New Year with Love and Memories 🌟 As we step into a new year, we carry the love and memories of our cherished pets in our hearts. 💜 Though they may no longer be by our side, their pawprints remain forever in our lives. We’d love to honour your beloved furbabies with you. Share a photo of your pet in the comments below, and feel free to tell us their name and something special about them. Together, we remember.

🌟 The Meaning of 'Home' 🌟 1. Comfort & Familiarity 🏠 Home is where our pets feel safe, surrounded by familiar scents, cosy spots and the people they love most. This familiar environment reduces stress, especially for pets who may feel anxious in new places. 2. Family Bonding 👨‍👩‍👦 Home is where we make memories together—from playtime in the living room to lazy weekends snuggled up on the couch. It's the heart of a pet's connection with family and where they truly feel they belong. 3. Routine & Stability 🐾 Pets thrive on routine, and home is where their daily structure unfolds—meals, walks and nap times all happen on their own terms. This predictability creates a comforting sense of security for both pets and their humans. 4. Safe Haven During Tough Times 🌩 During times of illness, injury or ageing, home provides a quiet, familiar refuge for pets. It's a place where they can recover or find comfort without the stress of travelling to unfamiliar places. 5. Endless Love & Care 🥰 Home is where our pets are showered with love, affection and care. It’s where they are truly part of the family, surrounded by the people who cherish them and where they feel they are exactly where they belong. 🐾💖 #arkangelvet #drpatrick #peteuthanasia #athomeeuthanasia #peteuthanasiaperth #peacefulpassing #petloss #griefsupport #petsofperth #HomeIsWhereTheHeartIs #PetsAndFamily #SafeAndLoved

✨ When is the right time to bring home a new pet? ✨ After losing a beloved pet it can be tempting to fill the void by adopting another right away. But it's important to give yourself time to grieve and heal. Every pet is unique, and the bond you shared deserves time to be honoured. There’s no "right" time to bring a new pet into your life—whether it takes weeks, months or even longer. Focus on your emotional well-being, and when you're truly ready, you'll know when the time is right. 💕 #arkangelvet #drpatrick #peteuthanasia #athomeeuthanasia #peteuthanasiaperth #peacefulpassing #petloss #griefsupport #petsofperth
