Domestic Pet Cremation

Domestic Pet Cremation provided by Petwise Cremations is a way you can say "Goodbye" to your pet in the most respectful manner. We will collect your pet from your home or veterinary practice and take the stress away. We will then return your pets ashes to you. You can even choose a memorial, urn or keepsake to ensure that your pet is never forgotten.

We all grieve when we lose a Pet, this is a natural reaction because of the feelings we have are so special. Often friends and relations do not offer a grieving pet owner much sympathy, and the comment of ….”it’s only a dog”…. or ….”Yes, she was a pretty cat”…. are the only words of sympathy or understanding frequently combined with the question ….”Are you going to get another one”…. Such comments would not be acceptable if you had lost a friend or family member and quite rightly you would receive emotional support.

It is generally accepted by Psychologists that although we need the same support when we lose a companion animal, as we do when we lose a family member or friend, we actually usually receive far less.

Euthanasia is always the most difficult choice for a pet owner – but frequently it is the right choice for your pet, certainly from the humane point of view. Illness may prolong the suffering of both the pet and the owner. Discuss euthanasia frankly with your vet. If you wish, make sure you spend a little time with your pet to say “Goodbye”. It is important to understand that the intravenous drug does not cause any pain, but you may wish to gently stroke the animal’s head and speak comfortingly as the drug is administered reassuring your pet as they go quietly to sleep as this will make a peaceful transition for you both.
