Emergency home visit in Preston ❤ I am on my way.

I have been working alongside this wonderful man for a few years now.
Tony is genuinely one of the kindest, most caring and compassionate men I have ever met.
I trust him completely and it has been a privilege to work alongside him.

Tony is absolutely correct - don’t take other crematoriums word for it - look in the vehicle for yourself. Ask the question.

Unfortunately some of the larger crematoriums transport multiple pets and “cover up”.

This never happens with Tony.
Everything is individual, clean and every pet is treated with the respect and dignity they deserve.

This old girl was Missy.
She was an approximately 13 year old Bullmastiff.
She was found on a farm in a very poor condition and dangerous situation.
Her mum Helen (and her then partner) took her away and when they separated Helen took her girl with her. They had been together for almost 9 years.

Missy - reaching such a great age for a large breed had started to slow down. She was struggling with her mobility and she had lost 5kg.

With her family around her she passed away gently at home.
She was buried at home forever with her family.

This handsome chap was Tom.
He was 16 years young.
He had gone off his food, dropped weight and we suspected cancer.

His lovely mum Fiona got in touch to say goodbye at home. Tom was initially her mums cat - a classic Christmas present and little Tom jumped out the box at 5 months old. However Fiona loved him so much she ended up taking Tom herself but he was still very much loved by the family.

When I arrived, Tom was settled in his little bed in the front room.
We discussed options but with his gentle temperament, clinical presentation and my experience we decided to say goodbye without sedation. He had one injection to say goodbye in his kidney. He fell asleep very peacefully and quickly in Fiona’s hands with his head on her t-shirt - the smell of home and safety.

He leaves behind Lola the spaniel and Charlie the Jack Russel Terrier to keep watch over Fiona and her family.

Goodnight Mr Tom.
Sleep well ❤

This gorgeous man was Gizmo.
He was a happy little Frenchie boy who would have been 7 in April.

He very cruelly had a rare form of heart cancer that was very aggressive. He was struggling to breathe and had lost his spark.

His devoted mum Liz made the decision to say goodbye.

When I went to see them, Gizmo came to say hello and we had a little cuddle. It was clear he was fed up, just focusing on his breathing.

Because of his heart disease we opted to not sedate him. We got his catheter in and with his mum right beside him he drifted peacefully off to sleep.

Frenchies have such amazing characters and I have no doubt when he was healthy he was a real character. The house will never be the same without him.

However Liz did right by her boy and he is at peace.

This old girl was our Molly.
She was an 18(!!) year old border collie.

Molly had begun to lose weight and wasn’t eating or drinking. She had started shallow breathing. She couldn’t get up to go to toilet and was really struggling.

She had been though a lot - had emergency pyometra surgery at 16 and then had a vestibular episode that she recovered from.

She was the baby of John and Marie. Marie had sadly passed away so Molly was Johns companion and last part of his late wife.

This made the decision to say goodbye so much harder for him and the rest of his family. They had loved her from a little puppy. She only had the best - fresh steamed fish and chicken and veg - not regular dog food!

His lovely daughter Michelle got in touch to help her dad navigate this decision and was right by his side and with Molly as she left this world.

She passed very peacefully and quickly (she was ready).
John was such a lovely older gentlemen and it was clear how hurt he was to lose his other girl.
However - as I said to him. Molly is with Marie now. His girls are safe.
He is blessed to have a big family around him.

This old girl was Roxie.
She would have been 15 1/2 next month.
She was a cross breed - we think Whippet x JRT.
She was booked in for a dental and had quite a few teeth out. It was then found that she had kidney disease which sadly progressed. She had started to lose weight and was had become double incontinent.
She was dithering and had a stumble down the stairs.

Her loving family Kristen, Dave and Libbi made the decision to say goodbye to Roxie in the comfort and safety of home. They had loved her from 9 weeks old and wouldn't continue to watch her struggle.

When I arrived she gave me the cutest little tail wag and we said hello. She was with Libbi on the sofa where she stayed. We opted to not sedate while I placed her catheter.

She passed quickly and peacefully with her family surrounding her.
She was a fantastic dog.

She leaves behind her little brother Alfie to keep watch over the family.

Such a lovely old girl, now at peace

This old girl was Bonnie. She was a 14 year old female German Shepherd. She was the centre of her family, mum Gina and her two daughters Katie and Georgia.
She had a few lumps and bumps but had an episode where she couldn't get up after falling over. Her back end was weak and she had muscle wastage and wasn't able to enjoy her walks anymore. She was obsessed with tennis balls and even that couldn't tempt her.

Her quality of life had declined and her dedicated family wouldn't continue to see her get worse or risk anything happening to her.
They rescued her from Leigh dogs home when she was around 1 years old.

She was a support dog for Katie who had diabetes and was the best smelly little log

Where do I cover?

Below is my radius of how far I will travel - approximately 1hour 15 each way or 100 mile round trip.

With the mileage and travel fee it just isn't economical for the client past this radius. There are many home euthanasia vets around the country helping families so there will be someone closer.

The travel time for these greater distances also limits how many more local families I can help so this needs to be taken into consideration.

I try and cover the majority of the North west and be as 24/7 as humanely possible - weekdays, weekends and emergency out of hours visits.

I met up with Emily to see how we can work together to help our families in their greatest time of need. She provides some really important services that some people might very much need during this difficult time.

She is there for you before and after

This cheeky boy was Brucie. He was a 17 year old cat.
He sadly had several major health issues. He was hyperthyroid, had osteoarthritis, he was having problems with his eyes and not able to do his usual behaviour (such as grooming).

Brucie was a rescue taken off the streets after a gentlemen found some youths being unkind and hurting him. He then moved abroad and Brucie came to Michelle and Mya to live the rest of his life - safe and loved.

He ate a lot of dreamies off me on the sofa with Mya beside him. We opted not to sedate him as he was a good boy. He passed away very quickly and peacefully at home.

He is reunited with his brother Mylo who sadly passed a few months ago.

This graceful, gentle old soul was Mr Woody. He was an 11 year 9 month old Greyhound. He was fiercely loved by his mum Margaret.
He was an ex racer and then Margaret gave him his forever home.

Sadly a CT scan showed abnormalities in his stomach and spleen and he had dramatically lost weight.

Margaret made the decision to say goodbye at home. He had lots of peperami on his final day.
Woody was a seasoned blood donor as he had an excellent temperament so he didn't need any sedation for his catheter.
We got him settled in his big bed "Greyhound Walk" and fell asleep forever peacefully with Margaret at this side and his big 6 ft multicoloured caterpillar toy (that Margaret donated to the dogs home afterwards

This precious girl was Chubbie. She was a 16 year old beautiful Bichon Frise.

With her older age she was showing neurological signs, she was circling and having cognitive disturbances. She also had end stage chronic kidney disease. It was getting quite distressing for her family Hun and Sandy to see her like this. She was so very a part of their family and very loved. They had rescued her and been her new family for the past 5 years.

We gave her some sedation and she fell asleep on Huns lap, with her being stroked, and spoken to softly while she drifted off.

She passed peacefully and home surrounded by family.

RIP beautiful girl

This gorgeous old man was George.
He was a 17 year old Westie boy and had a good healthy life, never needing the Vets other than vaccines.
Sadly his old age was taking its toll on his little body. His back end was weak and he was struggling with osteoarthritis. He had a lot of lumps and bumps. He was also deaf.

His devoted mums Siobhan and Vikkie knew it was time to say goodbye. Vikkie got in touch with me to make sure their beloved boy passed away peacefully.

When I arrived George was settled in the front room on his bed but such a polite man he was when I came in, he got up to greet me. We had a little tail wag and he had such a happy face. He had some of my special wild boar treats and enjoyed them and we had cuddle.

With him struggling with his mobility we opted to sedate him rather than maneuver his legs and balance to get the catheter in. He went to sleep in his bed with Siobhan and Vikkie beside him.

"Everyone's favourite bed thief and treat monster George AKA Boy George, The Boy, Georgie Boy! A constant solid presence in our lives for many years. Just a belter of a dog. Leaving us at our most settled and sorted and happiest! Maybe his work here on earth was done and he's got his wings back 🥰"

My deepest sympathies to you both. What a lovely boy.
He is now running around chasing squirrels pain free

This gentle old man was Freddy. He was a 12y8month old Parson Russel Terrier.
He was diagnosed with diabetes early in December but sadly was struggling to stabilise. He was having urine infections and drinking lots. He was wobbly and getting distressed.

He had been with Tricia and her husband who were both devoted to him from an 8 week old little puppy.

We gave him some sedation and after eating A LOT of treats off me he relaxed on his front room carpet. Once I put his catheter in, I gently lifted him onto the sofa to lay between his family who stroked him and spoke to him while he had his final injection.

He passed away quickly and peacefully.
Run free you "little bu**er"

This cool dude was Dexter.
He was a 16 (!!) year-old Staffy cross lurcher dog.

Sadly, reaching such a great age, his body has started to fail him and he was struggling with his back end, he was a little disorientated and restless, finding difficult to settle and get comfortable. He had also started drooling and chattering his teeth.

Concerned for his welfare and well-being, along with his mighty age, his wonderful mum and dad Sammie and Ryan made the decision to say goodbye.

They had owned and loved him from eight months old rescuing him from Manchester dogs home and giving him the second chance.

When I arrived, he was on his bed in the front room comfortable. I offered him some wild boar treats (as I do with all the pets I meet). Despite having very few teeth, he took them and swallowed them whole! This also made it quite funny when he did object to the tape being put on his leg and tried to gum me ❤

He passed away so peacefully with his mum right beside him while he was lying on his bed with his family around him. Safe and loved until the very end.

Run free old man, go and find Fergie and Trooper.

This beautiful girl was Layla / Laylabobs (aka mud monster!). She was a 13 1/2 year-old working cocker spaniel.

She was owned by Yonna and her family who had loved her from 18 months old.

Her age had started to show and as well as having Cushing’s disease she had, over the last six months begun to lose weight and was incontinent. Her quality of life was compromised.

Yonna would not allow her girl to continue to decline and so got in touch to plan her goodbye.

Layla was a gentle well-behaved girl (although a Rottweiler in his sleep barking while dreaming!) and didn’t need any sedation for her catheter. She passed peacefully away at home.

Yonna wanted to share the following:

What a fabulous lovely loopy Laylabobs she’s been the best dog 🐶. She came into our lives on 2012 and just made our home more of a home , shes very very much missed . She was 1 1/2 ish when we were lucky enough for her to find us , she’s would’ve been 14 in April. Until the last 12 months she literally ran everywhere but cushings had taken its toll over the last year on everything her mobility , her tummy , her eyes her hearing went a couple of years ago.

We loved her so much and as my children had grown and started living their own lives university etc , Layla and I did everything together . She filled our hearts with love our special girl Miss her massively . Some pics I will send of our lovely mid monster 😊Layla bobs, I hope she’s running around free now she just loved running in the great outdoors and dog snuggling 😊. Thankyou so much for everything 😊.
Yonna

Rest in peace, sweet girl. You are so very loved and you will never be forgotten.
