Pete the Vet: How do you know when it’s time to let go?

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet can be one of the hardest things you do, but your vet is there to support you each step of the way

Death is inevitable. As has been said in the past — grief is the price we pay for love.

The companionship of animals brings much pleasure into many people’s lives. Pets help us to be physically and mentally healthy, and they support us emotionally, offering us a type of unconditional love that can be hard to find elsewhere.

But there is one big downside: it’s likely that your pet will reach the end of their life before you, so one day you’ll be faced with deep sadness at their loss.
