Pet Grief Support & Counselling
At Horizon Palliative Vets we understand that the loss of your pet can be compared to the loss of a family member. Dealing with the grief that follows is often challenging. Different members of the family may deal with their grief differently and it might be especially difficult for children who are experiencing death for the first time. You don’t need to go through this alone. We strongly advise that you reach out for professional help if you are struggling with this.
We know that looking for help can be daunting. Therefore, we tried to make it easier for you by recommending teams of highly qualified professionals.

Grief Books For Pet Loss
There are several books on grief and pet loss available that may help both children and adults go through the end of life journey.
Here are some examples that we think could be helpful and worth taking a look into:
This is a beautiful way to help you, and your family create more special memories with your ageing pet that you can hold onto forever. It may also assist you with the grieving process, including the anticipatory grief. The idea is to capture the connection you have with your beloved friend either at home or at their favourite place.
