Paws Over The Rainbow

At Paws Over The Rainbow we want the final moments in your pet's life to be as peaceful as possible. That is why we ALWAYS use a two-step process of sedating your pet before placing a catheter in their vein for the final injection.
Whilst most pets would allow a catheter to be placed without sedation, we know that a small injection under the skin in the scruff is less stressful and less painful than having a catheter placed making the experience gentler on your pet.
We always tailor the sedation to your pet's needs and pre-existing conditions making them peacefully slip into a comfortable snooze.

At Paws Over the Rainbow dignity is at the heart of what we do. That is why, we always bring beds of different sizes and fluffy blankets so your pet can be respectfully cuddled up in the bed as they leave their home for their final journey to be cremated. Their families have loved and cared for them their whole life and we continue this care by treating them gently and respectfully after their passing

The month of August marks the 3 year anniversary of having to say goodbye to our lovely Tank. At the time of his passing we did not have the headspace to decide on what should happen with him afterwards. We therefore got his ashes back in a scattertube.
Just last month Kings Hill Cremations showed me this beautiful urn with "paws over the rainbow" and it just felt right. Tank was my inspiration for starting this venture. We always aim to give pets the same dignified, peaceful and pain free passing that I gave Tank.

I can’t believe it has been 6 months since I officially started Paws Over The Rainbow. I am so grateful for all the support and help I have received. Please allow me to mention my husband Paul Headland in particular, who has been fantastic in taking on most of the day to day family practicalities allowing me the time and space to dedicate to my little business whilst still having quality time with our girls.
Secondly, I would really like to thank Emily Jane and Laura Scrase who help out whenever they can to make sure we help as many families as possible whilst also allowing me the occasional weekend off.
But most of all I would really like to thank all the lovely families who over the last 6 months have trusted me to help their beloved pet on their final journey. I feel so privileged to be able to use my skills to offer dignity and peace at the final farewell and hopefully a little bit of comfort.
I know many of you, bereaved families as well as friends and families, have kindly spread awareness of Paws Over The Rainbow and recommended me. I am truly touched by all your support and I couldn't do it without you all.

Another few pictures from the archives. This handsome man would have turned 10 yesterday. Sadly, we lost him some years ago to cancer. Tank was with us through all our ups and downs including a long drive to Denmark, so he could be at our wedding. We miss him every day.
At Paws Over The Rainbow we understand how pets are not just pets, they are part of the family. Therefore, when it is time to say goodbye it is important that it is done peacefully, compassionately and without pain. This is often easier to achieve if the pet is in their own home.

Everyone meet Pelle. Apologies for the poor quality photos, but somehow these photos are nearly 30 years old. When did I get this old?
Pelle was my first cat. I was 14 years old when we got him, and I had wanted a cat for many years so he was a dream come true. He was the most cuddly, funny and loving cat I could have wished for and we were never found far apart when I was at home.
At my third year of vet school Pelle unfortunately got very ill. The vet told us, our only option was to humanely put him to sleep. He then informed us, he was going to take Pelle to the back and place a catheter into a vein and bring him back for the injection that would make him pass away. I remember asking if we couldn't stay with him, but the vet explained to us, that was not how it was done, his kit and nurse was in the back so it was better that way. I remember the heart ache of knowing my beautiful boy only had a limited time left, and I wouldn't be spending every minute of that with him.

A home euthanasia visit means you can be by the side of your pet right until the end. Your pet can be cuddled up in your arms, laying on your lap or be curled up in their favorite bed to make the goodbye as comfortable as possible.
We always use a sedation before placing a catheter into their vein. They go into a deep snooze, making the catheter placement peaceful and pain free.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
💜🧡💜
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable...

At Paws Over The Rainbow we offer Saturday appointments for several reasons. Firstly, we are aware that sadly at times workplaces are not supportive of time off for our poorly pets, so a Saturday appointment might be less stressful for the owner.
Secondly, at times children might have flown the nest but wanting to be present for the final goodbye, and again a Saturday appointment might help facilitate this.
It is worth being aware, we do NOT charge an extra fee for a Saturday appointment nor do we charge extra for visits that are not pre-booked.

I have been terribly quiet on here lately and I apologise. It is so important to raise awareness about the possibility of home visit euthanasias.
Lately, however, my time has mainly been taken up by helping lovely families who want their pets to pass away in their own home. If you are considering using my services, why not read my google reviews to get an idea of how families feel I helped them at their time of need.
