MEMORIAM
If you would like to share a picture and a few words about your beloved pet in a memoriam, we would be honoured to display this tribute on our hospital website. Please send your memoriam to info@brockvillevet.ca
Losing a pet can be extremely upsetting, sometimes even more so than you might expect. We have such a close bond with our pets, so letting go is never easy and is often filled with pain, sadness, depression—even anger. Our team understands these feelings, as many of us have also lost pets of our own. The emotions we go through are real and nothing to be ashamed of.
Whether your loss is recent or you’ve been grieving for weeks, there are many options to help you through this sad transition and to help you cope with these feelings.
