St Anne's Pet Bereavement Service.
We all love our pets. They are our companions, and most of us consider them as a genuine part of the family. They bring us joy, comfort and unconditional love.

However, sadly, a pet doesn't live forever and sooner or later the time comes for all of us to say goodbye to our beloved friend. This can be a very traumatic, even heartbreaking experience. A grieving process takes place, which is different for each and every individual.

At St. Anne's we are all too aware of the emotions that the loss of a pet brings with it, and most of us have experienced this first hand with our own pets. Therefore, you can always speak to your vet or nurse, and count on a sympathetic approach in those difficult times.

However, some owners experience it as beneficial to also get some support from a different angle or simply find it easier or preferable to talk to someone other than their vet or nurse, someone slightly less involved in the veterinary world.

That is the reason that we at St. Anne's are proud to introduce a new service to our customers. We now have a pet bereavement supporter in our team. Her name is June (not our receptionist June), and she is contactable through St. Anne's.

June has long established counselling skills in previous employment and has undergone specific training in pet bereavement support. She has first hand experience with the grieving process after her dog, Polly, was put to sleep at St. Anne's.

June, of all people, is in the perfect position to offer support and lend a listening ear!

Should you find yourself in the situation of having recently lost your pet and wish to talk with June, our pet bereavement supporter, all you have to do is phone St. Anne's. We will then arrange for June to phone you back as soon as she is able to. Needless to say this service is free of charge!

We hope this will prove to be a valuable new addition to St. Anne's services to you and your pet.

Microchip cat flap.
Having trouble with unwanted cats coming through your cat flap? Don't like the idea of your cat having to wear a magnetic collar?

The answer could be installing a cat flap that identifies your cat from it's microchip and allows it's entry but will not open for other cats, even if they are microchipped.

The cat flap can be programmed for several cats.

The chip implanted by St Anne's is especially suited for these cat flaps.

More details and catflaps are available from St Anne's surgeries.

Cost at the moment is £95. They are produced in white, brown, or black.

A different model is available for wall fitting, please let us know which model and colour you require as not all types are kept in stock.

If you know of any other charity runs/walks/events please let us know as this could be our next mission!!
