HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO OUR CLIENTS AND PATIENTS 🩷🐾

01/17/2025

At Paxton Animal Hospital, we understand that losing a beloved pet can be one of the hardest experiences to process. Our staff recently had a valuable meeting with our crematory management team to deepen our understanding of grief and aftercare options for your furry family members.

Through this meeting, we learned that the most common time for pet grief often occurs between 10 PM and 2 AM, when owners feel the absence of their pets beside them in bed.

In support of our clients, we wanted to share a helpful grief support resource from our crematory. They also have a dedicated grief support hotline available 24/7 because we know that grief doesn’t keep a schedule. If you need someone to talk to, please don’t hesitate to reach out to their careline at 1-855-245-8214.

You’re not alone in this journey, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. 🐾❤️

We invite you to share a photo or memory in the comments of a pet that has crossed Rainbow Bridge.

Valentina is looking for a foster, hospice home.💜

Valentina is a 3-year-old sweetheart who has a rare breast cancer called inflammatory mammary carcinoma, for which there is no treatment other than palliative care. We are unsure how much time Valentina has before the cancer spreads to other places in her body that are not compatible with a good quality of life. Despite this bleak prognosis, we would like Valentina to spend her remaining time in a loving, cozy home. Valentina is still a wiggly, happy girl who loves affection! She does not like other dogs, but loves every human she meets.

If you are interested in learning more about this special girl, contact us at [email protected]. Thank you!

Remembering the Dogs of 9/11

"The working dogs deployed in the wake of 9/11 were remarkable. Over 300 specially trained dogs arrived at Ground Zero, each with a critical role—whether in search and rescue, police work or providing emotional support. These dogs embodied courage, sifting through dangerous rubble, and helping to locate survivors and remains. From Bretagne, a golden retriever working her first rescue mission, to Apollo, the first canine responder on site, their dedication is a story of loyalty and service that transcends borders."

We have this policy posted in our office but I also wanted to share here. We often get comments from our clients surprised that anyone could be rude to us, it happens to us just like any other profession, sometimes more because we know how important pets are to their owners.

I encourage you to read the article "A Soul Killer," I have linked in regards to some of the issues we face in our profession. And I encourage you to BE KIND. You never know what our staff has had to deal with in a day.
