It's a reality that in your lifetime, you'll have more than one best friend.

Dogs and Cats have shorter life spans than us. They grow old and eventually - they will leave us.As they get older we begin to see the subtle changes the ageing process brings with it.

Fortunately, many old age related illnesses can be managed through effective medications and supplements.

However, there will come a time when these are no longer adequate in managing these illnesses and your pets' quality of life is affected.

This now forces you to consider the final act of kindness - euthanasia.

This is a painless and gentle method of ending life. An injection of a concentrated anaesthesia drug.

This procedure can be performed either in the clinic or in the comfort of your own homw.

You may choose to bury your pet at home or have the clinic take care of the remains.

A cremation service is also available.
