Vets2Home - Peaceful Pet Goodbyes

27/08/2024

Happy 1st birthday, big beautiful Quaver! 27-8-24
BIG CONGRATULATIONS & HAPPY CELEBRATIONS OF 🐾 LIFE ❤️🐾🎉🥳 🐾❤️

Quaver is here featured posing with, and belonging to, our wonderful Practice Manager (and Dr Suzen’s daughter), Amanda, in our ‘Celebrating Life’ delivery car (for personally and safely returning ashes of beloved pets to their families).

Quaver has quickly become Amanda’s trusted co-road warrior, as they’ve done thousands of miles together round Sussex already (seen often with Grandma, riding shotgun as a true family-run practice!).

Quaver is Amanda’s very first dog, and a big, bouncy Golden Retriever and today celebrating their adventurous and fun-filled (but also tough) first year of life together 🎉🥳🐾.

Have a GREAT day, celebrating a seriously spoilt, and much loved 🐾most handsome family member!🐾❤️

(Ps We should mention our four vets have anonymous, private cars for home visits) 🐾

ANNOUNCEMENT!
We here at Vets2Home, are so incredibly proud to have had the most warm and compassionate human, our triathlon World Champion, Brighton-local and just most amazing Vet, join our small team of especially trained vets in end-of-life care and peaceful home goodbyes.

Dr Emma, our most Jr vet, has been with us little over a year now, helping families say goodbye and we think it’s about time we shine the spotlight on her as the most amazing young vet we’ve ever met!
The whole team feels so very blessed to be able to do our ‘angel work’ with Dr Emma by our side. Her enthusiasm, compassion and warm light just shines through her natural intuitive way of helping both animals and families under her care and hereby help them have the most loving and healing goodbye, a beautiful forever memory.

Please check out the many 5⭐️ reviews (on Google or on our website) Dr Emma already has accrued as a testament to her finding her true calling and proving this in her relatively short time with Vets2Home.
We are just so happy Dr Emma gave up ‘normal vetting’ in a clinic, after 3 years, to follow her heart and found her new ‘home’ with us.

“Dr Emma, thank you for all you do and give, your professionalism, dedication and your true compassion for giving pets and their families the most beautiful goodbye at home. Never rushed and always warm and with loads of time for everyone you meet.
We hope you’ll stay with us for many years to come. You are such an asset to our team. Thank you 🐾🌹”
Dr Suzen❤️

BIG CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 to our wonderful Dr Jo for having given me (& Vets2Home), the pleasure and honour of working with him for 10 years, this very week. In this decade he has personally helped thousands of much-loved animals peacefully leave their loved ones in the best way possible.

Dr Jo(Joaquin, Ximo), joined me as my very first Assistant Vet on 31st March 2014, just two years after I founded Vets2Home, the first dedicated, end-of-life and palliative care mobile vet practice in all of the UK.

Anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting our soft-spoken Spanish vet, Dr Jo, will know we have been very lucky to have him onboard this pioneering vet service, almost from the start, as the love he holds for helping all animals, great and small, is very strong and clearly his biggest passion, alongside being a great, devoted dad’ to Joaquin Junior.
After reluctantly (Jo was head-hunted for his big animal loving ♥️ ) starting as a ‘home euthanasia vet’, covering for my - rare- absences, Jo realised fairly soon that when he became a vet to ‘save animals’, this could actually also extend to ‘saving them from suffering’ at the end and in the very best way, with a sedation first and while staying at home. Very different to the quick, cold clinic way.

At no other time, than at the end, do we, with our work as end of life vets, help animals suffer less that when we relieve them in the most caring and compassionate way.
Helping families give pets the gentle end, every loved one deserves, animal or human, is truly a big honour and calling for those of us who understand this is the most memorable time.

We know we help families/single owners who are animal lovers, let go of their loved one, in the very best way possible and leaving them with peaceful forever memories of goodbye; peacefully at home, and while gently asleep on a lap or in loved ones arms.
Congratulations Jo, you’ve helped thousands of animals-and their humans suffer so much less by staying at home for this daunting event.
This is the finest task and best reward for any animal loving vet.
It’s been a real honour to have you on my team, nearly more family than colleagues, for a whole decade, while we have balanced raising our own families. It been a joy to watch you being a very hands on dad to a wonderful young boy, who has had his dad (& mum) by his side, every step of his, at times, quite challenging road.
Your dedication to your own family, your patients and their loved ones, has been a joy to watch, work along side and have on our team.
Thank you Dr Jo🐾You are the best - this his clients will also testify to! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ps. You are more than welcome to stay for another decade 😉🇬🇧🇪🇸 🐾 (Dr Jo is celebrating with his dad and family in Spain this coming week)🥳🍾🥂🐾🌹🌹🌹

It’s been a while since we’ve posted on here (we prioritise serving our patients and clients before social media).
Just a little support of this wonderfully written piece at this particularly difficult time (as the holiday season is) for those of us who have loved and lost special 🐾 family members. Thinking of you 🐾🌹
Dr Suzen & everyone on the Vets2Home Team ❤️😇

YOU DON’T JUST LOSE SOMEONE ONCE
You lose them over and over,
sometimes in the same day.
When the loss, momentarily forgotten,
creeps up,
and attacks you from behind.
Fresh waves of grief as the realisation hits home,
they are gone.
Again.
You don’t just lose someone once,
you lose them every time you open your eyes to a new dawn,
and as you awaken,
so does your memory,
so does the jolting bolt of lightning that rips into your heart,
they are gone.
Again.
Losing someone is a journey,
not a one-off.
There is no end to the loss,
there is only a learned skill on how to stay afloat,
when it washes over.
Be kind to those who are sailing this stormy sea,
they have a journey ahead of them,
and a daily shock to the system each time they realise,
they are gone,
Again.
You don’t just lose someone once,
you lose them every day,
for a lifetime.

Rainbow Bridge Rememberance Day - what an important day. Celebrating true love never dies, it lives on in our, at first, broken shattered heart, later in our ‘healed’, and so much fuller heart. As we have truly loved and lost.
And so our soul is awakened through love. And loss 💔

This 🌈 day is for those divine (mostly 🐾 ) creatures who help us lift our, at times, much too heavy load and share our worries. Until they themselves, too, add to our load by leaving us behind much too soon.... 🐾💔❤️ RIP our Little Angel spirits & Thank You for your gifts of love 🐾❤️❤️❤️

Dear animal lovers, senior cat lovers in particular 🐾 NEED A LOVING NEW HOME FOR THIS KITTY (saved from euthanasia!).

This beautiful senior kitty, I was called out to put to sleep last week! She was living in the most terribly sad personal circumstances with her loving mum, who was desperate to help her find peace.
To find peace herself due to personal trauma and loss.

It was definitely not the time for this beautiful little kitty and I offered to take her, there and then, and to try and find a calm, new loving (foster) home for this little sweetie.
Her mum agreed, after some time, although surprised of this option....

This beautiful, 18 year old (looks/acts like a kitten!) kitty is desperately needing someone to love her in a calm no animals or children home!

She is currently in ‘luxury custody’ at a great cat hotel in North Chailey, but time is running out as this is not a rescue place.... more an urgent helping hand, kindly lent, between animal lovers to rescue this kitty...

Although animal loving vets, Vets2Home don’t get involved with rescuing directly, but we do not put healthy (even if very old) animals to sleep.

And so this is a new situation, where I would love to hear from a suitable (foster) carer, new mum/dad, possibly permanent home for this little angel. ASAP. She needs comfort and stability after all the stress she has been through in latest weeks.

Please PM us on here or call/text 07962 423567 and register your interest for KITTY as we need to find a home before Thursday next week (27/7).
Kitty is female, neutered, 18y, litter trained, outdoors(if safe)/indoors, very chatty, a bit shy and very loving- definite lap cat - and needs a loving lap in a quiet, no kids no animals home, 1-2-1.
Can you help? 🐾❤️
07962 423567 text or leave message.

Happy New Year, all you fellow animal lovers out there.....
Remember what’s truly meaningful and important in life, starting NOW! 🐾❤️

Dear fellow Animal Lovers,

On our way to 2023, we here at Team Vets2Home, would like to send our love and sympathy to all of you, the families and animal lovers, we have helped in the past many years and especially those who have lost a much loved furry member more recently, here in 2022.

We would like to remind you all to take a few moments at this transitional time, with an ending & a new beginning, to lift your glass, your mug or champagne glass while lovingly remembering - with a smile or a tear, or both - that wonderful furry angel in your life, the life saver, the little love guide, companion, soul mate, love sponge, confidente, the unstoppable joy bundle - literally our ‘everything’ - and thanking them for the short time they were here with us. Thank them for their love & healing powers and all they gave us.

Their “angelic job” with us, whatever it was, was complete in 2022 and so it was their time to move on.
And it was our time to step up and let them go, by gently returning the love they have shared, so generously, by setting them free. In the best, most loving way possible.

We carry them in our paw-imprinted hearts forever.

We remember them🕯

So is the unconditional gift of love.
🐾❤️

I, and everyone here at Vets2Home, would like to say it has been an honour to be with you (and your family) and help you at such a sad but memorable time.
We wish everyone a bright and blessed 2023, hopefully full of (furry) love 🐾❤️.

To a happy, healthy & free New Year.

Dr Suzen, Dr Jo, Amanda & Andrea of

Just a mid-week, a-political comment on nothing in particular, but hopefully some food for thought!❤️
(ps we love wolves - our domesticated dogs natural origin.
A great daily reminder - when living with a dog - and of ever diminishing wild, untamed beautiful nature vs overpowering, dominating engineered human ‘culture’. Nature vs Transhumanism.... The road we are all travelling on, more or less consciously)🌎
