S A Home Euthanasia

This old girl was Dexie.
She was a 15 year old Staffie cross collie.
She unfortunately had a suspected abdominal mass and had begun losing weight and was struggling. She was also deaf.

Her dad Dan got in touch to make sure his girls goodbye was exactly how he wanted. Peaceful, pain free and at home.

When I arrived she came off her bed to great me. I gave her a tasty duck treat which she took and it was nice as other than 4 gravy bones she had at the vets she hasn’t been eating much.
We gave her some sedation while Dan cuddled her and she fell asleep in his arms on the sofa.

I gently placed her catheter and when Dan, his partner Amanda and his mum Janis were ready, we all said goodbye to Dexie.

Dexie was rescued at around 6 months old and she was originally called Cindy.
Dan loved Dexter the TV series at the time and he was planning on getting a boy and calling him Dexter. So when he saved “Cindy” naturally he changed it to Dexie.

Dexie was the prettiest girl and great with his young children Finley and Isla.

She was the most loving, loyal girl for the past 15 years and our lives are all infinitely better by her being such a big part of it.

Run free Dex, go chase them frisbees ❤

Thank you to Marc Devotion Pets Cremation Services for taking Dixie on her final journey ❤

Emergency visit for a little Beagle called Chester ❤

This precious boy was Fred.
Fred was a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and almost 15 years old.

He had reached the end of his life and was off his back legs and struggling to do basic things like go to the toilet.

His devoted mum Sharon and her family couldn’t bare to see their boy like this any longer and so she got in touch to plan their goodbye.

When I arrived, we gave him some sedation and he fell asleep on a blanket in the front room.
I placed his catheter and when everyone was ready, we also said goodbye to little Freddy.

Marc from Devotion Pets Cremation Services was ready, waiting outside to take him on his final journey.

Freddy was even more remarkable because as many will know - this breed suffers highly with heart disease. Fred didn’t even have a heart murmur even at almost 15!

Fred had a lot of visitors on his last night so many people wanted to come and see him and say goodbye. He was a very loved and cherished family member.

Rest in peace, Fred.
Fiesty but Aloof!
Level 10 sock thief.

The bestest boy.

This handsome boy was Ronnie.
Ronnie was a 9 year old white German Shepherd dog.

Ronnie had been through a lot.
He had had both of his hips replaced and unfortunately suffered a complication which caused him to be in a great deal of pain and unable to move.
It wasn’t about the finances anymore. It was about doing the right thing for Ronnie who was really struggling and in pain.
His mum and dad Kim and Rob couldn’t bear to put him through more surgery and so made the decision to say goodbye.

When I arrived, Ronnie was keen to say hello and barking and desperately trying to move off the sofa but he couldn’t.
We gave him some sedation to calm him. He fell asleep with his family around him and when they were ready, I gave him his final injection.

His big brother Reggie came in to see him afterwards.

Thank you to Marc Devotion Pets Cremation Services for taking Ronnie on his final journey.

Ronnie joins Luna and Jasmine up and having watching over the family.

This boy was Denni.
He was a 14 year old Staff Boxer cross.
He was gorgeous.

Being an old boy his back legs had gone and his quality of life was now not at a good level.

His elderly owner Shelia loved him dearly. He was the last thing she had left after losing her husband Thomas. Her grandson Shaun was with her when we said goodbye.

Denise (Shaun’s partner) originally got in touch on behalf of Shaun and his Nan to arrange the goodbye.

When I arrived, I offered Danny some treats but he wasn’t interested. He’d already had his meaty lunch before I got there.
Shaun gave him a big cuddle while I gave him some sedation and then we put him on his favourite chair where he fell asleep.
I quickly put his catheter in and with Sean beside him and Sheila’s voice in his ears Denni left us and rejoined Thomas in heaven.

Shelia rescued Denni and had owned him from two years old. He was originally Benny but she didn’t like it so she changed it to Denni which suited him better.

He landed on all four paws with Sheila and had a great life.

Marc from Devotion Pets Cremation Services came shortly after to take him away for his individual cremation journey.

I really like to think he is up there with Thomas watching over her.

❤

Here he is in his favourite chair

This gentle giant was Risa.
She was a 12 year old Caucasian Shepherd girl.

Getting any large breed into double digits is an achievement but 12 really is a remarkable age for this breed.
It was no surprise then when she started struggling on her backend.
With her quality of life compromised, her loving family Dawn and Eric got in touch to pre-plan a goodbye for their girl ensuring she was not distressed or manhandled into a vehicle to drive to the Vets to say goodbye.

When I arrived, she was so friendly and tried to get up to say hello, but she couldn’t.
It didn’t stop her having some treats off me and a little tail wag.
With Dawn cuddling her, I gently put her catheter in and with her family beside her she went to sleep one last time.

She was buried at home - that way she’ll never leave.
It was clear how much she was loved and how big a hole she is going to leave in this family.

Run free old girl. No more pain.

❤

This beautiful boy was Bobo.
He was a 16 year old toy poodle.
Incredibly well looked after and very pampered.

Sadly, Bobo was diagnosed with heart disease and despite fighting bravely for two months unfortunately it progressed into congestive heart failure and he started fitting.

His mum Fiona was heartbroken but knew it was the kindest thing to do.
When I arrived, we gave Bobo some sedation and he drifted calmly into a dream like sleep while I placed his catheter.
With his family around him he took his final breaths, peaceful, calm and at home surrounded by love and safety.

Rest in peace, beautiful boy.

❤

Thank you to Marc Devotion Pets Cremation Services for taking such gentle and respectful care of Bobo on his cremation journey.

I have just reached my first 1,000 followers for my little home euthanasia business.

Now, unlike the majority of other home euthanasia providers I do not pay to sponsor adverts nor do I pay to have my business “jump” to the top of search engines when families are looking for help.

I have grown my business naturally over the last few years and the families that find me have come from personal recommendations and word of mouth. I cover a huge radius, the majority of the North West. I also offer emergency out of hours through the night and weekends.

I pride myself on the service I offer. Home euthanasia is a branch of Veterinary medicine that not all Vets would take on and requires the correct balance of professionalism, empathy, compassion and skill. This I believe, is evident with the fact I have over 450 5* reviews between this page and google.

I would like to thank each and every family that chose me, to help them say goodbye to their precious pet.
I would like to thank everyone who has followed this page and supported this service.
I would also very much like to thank every one who has liked and commented on a pet tribute and supported other families through their grief and loss.

It is a community of devoted owners, united in grief and it is so wonderful to see people supporting others so thank you.

Please do help me continue to help families say goodbye at home by sharing this post or copying this link.

Thank you.

Now this young man was Benji. 
He would have been 15 on New Year’s Day.

Benji had an aggressive a**l carcinoma that was bleeding and becoming quite difficult for his elderly mum Audrey to manage.
Because of the aggressive nature of this cancer, his geriatric age and the fact he also had quite a substantial heart murmur, surgery was not considered a sensible option.

Shirley, Audrey’s daughter rang me yesterday to help her say mum say goodbye. She wanted it to be at home home, in private with no stress to Benji or her mum.

When I arrived Benji was on his chair and barked to greet me. His little tail was wagging.
We had a little cuddle and I gave him some wild boar treats which he loved (despite having some dodgey teeth, boy, you be sure he took them with real gusto!).

We gave him some sedation and once I had put his catheter in, I wrapped him all snug in his blanket and gently placed him in Audrey’s arms so she could sit with him on her chair.
When she was ready Benji had his final injection and drifted peacefully off to sleep at home in his mum’s arms.

It was a beautiful goodbye to a 15-year-old friendship.

Benji joins Audrey’s late husband Bill and their other little boy Bobby.

He was then transferred into Marc Devotion Pets Cremation Services for the final part of his journey.

This beautiful girl was Baby.
She was 14 years young.
She recently was given a terminal cancer diagnosis with numerous tumours that had spread.
Her loving Family Emma, Leon, Robbie and Erin wanted her to have a peaceful dignified and before the cancer took away her quality of life.
This was a very selfless and brave decision that was not easy to do.
When I arrived, her tail was wagging and she was happy to see a visitor.
We gave her some sedation and brought her bed into the front room and she fell asleep peaceful and calm while I put her catheter in.

With her family all around her, she took her final moments in her own home with no stress or fear.

Marc from Devotion Pets Cremation Services arrived a little time after to take her on the final part of her journey - with dignity and respect.

❤

It really is better a week too early than one day too late.
