INFORMATION

Everyone is different and has differing views and so there is no one size fits all solution to old age challenges but at Eternal Paws we try and balance everyone’s needs and offer advice and care.
Vets have always had the privilege of being allowed to euthanase (or put to sleep) animals that are suffering. However, whilst the word “suffering” is black and white to some people, it is grey to others and whilst some people might think it is cruel to keep alive a dog whose back legs are failing, others will see the pleasure it gets from chasing a ball using a set of wheels to fly along on.

If you are at all worried about your elderly pet then please call Eternal Paws. We will never pressure or force you to put your pet to sleep. What we will do is work hard to help you find a solution. We would tell you if we thought euthanasia was the kindest option but we would never make you take that step until you were ready and in many cases there will be treatment and palliation available .

When the time does come it maybe that your pet passes naturally or is assisted. If you want your pet taken away that can be arranged and the ashes returned. Anita can also help you with thoughtful ways to remember the good times and memorialise your precious companion if you wish. Grief is a process, which often starts before your pet’s passing and whilst time is a great healer for most, Eternal Paws can put you in touch with professional help if you feel you need it.

 

So please, if your pet is elderly, infirm or terminally ill, do pick up the phone to Eternal Paws and call 07557 789 789 or email Anita at care@eternalpaws.co.uk and rest assured that you will all be cared for.

If you are at all worried about your elderly pet

Please Contact Anita on 07557 789 789 or care@eternalpaws.co.uk

We will NEVER pressure you to put your pet to sleep, we will work hard to help you find a solution

We sadly lost our fur baby this week. The service that eternal paws provides is first class and so respectful. My only regret is that I didn’t know about it two years ago when our fur baby lost his daddy. At this very hard time in our lives, it was made a lot easier knowing that our baby was in good hands. We can’t thank you enough

I can not rate Eternal Paws highly enough . They made a horrible situation more bare able and they were so very kind . When they came to my house they understood completely how we were feeling at having to let our lovely dog go . It was so dignified and it was such a relief when they sedated my dog to see the pain leave her body I would just like to thank them all so very much it’s not often you find people with such kindness ! Thank you

Anita and Mel were so caring and supportive when they put my darling Bonnie to sleep. It was so peaceful for her and I won't hesitate to use Eternal Paws again.

I cannot thank Anita enough for her care and compassion at a distressing and painful time for me and my old ill terrier. Her spiritual approach and loving kindness to my dog at the end of his life has helped me in my grief. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Eternal Paws

Well what can I say other than these ladies are absolute earth angels. My bunny was let down by so many people at the end of his little life but the ladies here looked after my Teddy on his final journey 🐰💔🌈 and treated him like the family that he absolutely was to me. I will be eternally grateful for their compassion and care when I was at my most broken x

I’m so glad I found Eternal Paws following the sudden passing of our beloved cat Kanye. Honestly not sure how I would have got through the toughest few days of my life without the sensitive professionalism of Anita and Mel. With me having no prior plans or understanding of the process they handled literally everything, with so much kindness and respect. The team catered to my specific requests and kept me updated the whole time. And the approach they take being focussed on compassion and the spiritual elements of this important time just felt right for my boy. Knowing he was surrounded by warmth and peace rather than a cold clinical setting gave me great comfort in this trying time. Thank you Anita and Mel for doing what you do in the way that you do it, it is so important and I will be forever grateful.

Had our beautiful boy Brooks cremated here today. What was a horrible day was made easier by the service provided. The room we left our boy in was beautiful and calming and we felt like we were leaving him in safe and caring hands. He was ready to collect and bring home not long after. They even washed and dried that blanket we brought him in with which was lovely. Would definitely recommend Eternal Paws.
