end of life care for pets

Dr Bel has assisted us several times when it was time to say goodbye to a beloved furry family member.

We were so grateful to be in familiar surroundings and assisted through the process with such assuredness and consideration.

It's so reassuring to know that we have a vet who we can rely on at a difficult time and I have such comfort in having Dr Bel to reach out to.

We had Dr Belinda from Empethy Vet to help our cat Sonic pass. We were so grateful for her kindness and compassion and it was so much nicer for Sonic doing it at home. He was always so scared in vet clinics so letting him pass peacefully at home was a much better experience for everyone. I was grateful for her explanation of what to expect beforehand, she took her time and gave us time to say goodbye. Also her physical exam beforehand reassured us that we were definitely making the right decision. As much as no-one wants to have to make the decision, when it is time, I can highly recommend Empethy Vet. Dr Belinda was wonderful at a very difficult time.

Dr Belinda x We can not express in words the incredibly professional and empathetic service and experience you provided to our family and our Charli this afternoon xx Thankyou for also being so kind to Amelia as she initially struggled to accept and was reluctant to be involved. Your detailed explanation of what to expect/ normal and what also could happen had us beautifully prepared for Charli's death... and it was lovely to just watch her gently leave in her own familiar environment with no stress. We will be forever grateful to you. Also we have all said how generous with your time you were and also the paw prints. THANKYOU AGAIN XX

Our Amazing vet Bel has been our Fur Babies vet for many years, we starting taking our Bailey, Pierre and Riccardo to her when she had  her Hospital…. We always found her to be a Woman of immense Integrity, Compassion, knowledge, Kindness and being so Empathetic , not only with our Fur babies but always so understanding our sadness and concerns, especially in making the heartbreaking decision to let our babies cross the Rainbow bridge, all our boys have absolutely adored her. Our 3 boys  passed over in a loving environment at home with us and Bel gently guiding us through the tears & the process, until the time was right for us to finally let go❤️💔 We now have 2 more boys, Casper & Bayles, Dogs & 2 Cats Frankie & Moet and when their time comes we will again  ask for Bel ❤️

We would highly recommend Bel in whatever endeavours she chooses. Her Love & Respect for all Animals is beyond reproach including us humans….

Sadly, over the last couple of years I have had to make the heartbreaking decision to put three of my best friends & protectors to sleep, in order to relieve their suffering. This was not done lightly, only when all medications and other options ran out.

Dr Bel gave Luka, Paddy and Peppa the most peaceful passing anyone could ask for. 

Dr Bel was very calm, professional & deeply caring as they slipped away, while I cuddled patted & talked to them. Dr Bel took her time,, nothing was rushed or too much trouble, just vary peaceful & serene. On each occasion she made sure Luka, Paddy & Peppa were not stressed in any way. For this I was & still am very grateful for her kindness and compassion to both my dogs & myself.

She gave me the strength "to do what had to be done"

I highly recommend Dr Bel if you have to make this sad decision :(

At some of the hardest times in our life, when we needed someone we trust, Dr Belinda has been there. She has looked after our fur babies for many years, and when the time came, I knew she would be there for us again. She was able to come to our home, so our Spike and Daisy could both be sent to the rainbow bridge from the comfort of their home. Her empathy and compassion was second to none. I truly appreciate Dr Bel, making such a stressful sad time, easier.  

Your time with us was amazing, calming, and she was ready to go 

Time enough to say goodbye to my sookilala.

Thanks again for all your help 

We couldn’t have been more blessed than to have Bel (Dr B 😉) come to our home to ease our beautiful 🐾Zoomy-Zemira’s 🐾 journey over the rainbow bridge. 

From the beginning when Zemira jumped out of her bed to greet Bel at the door, the whole experience was peaceful, respectful and just right. 

Bel took the time it takes. 

To thoroughly explain the whole process and all that may be involved and just honour the space where family can participate in saying farewell to their beloved pet. 

No rushing, no pressure, this would have to be the most peaceful euthanasia I have witnessed. 

Bel’s care and compassion made this sad and challenging decision much easier to bear and we couldn’t have asked for a better sending off of our special “4-legs”. 

My family has had to say goodbye to several of our beloved pets, and each time has been incredibly difficult. But thanks to Dr. Bel those final moments were filled with peace, dignity, and compassion. She took the time to explain each step of the process clearly and simply, which helped us feel comforted during such an emotional time. Her knowledge, calm presence and empathy made all the difference, allowing our pets to pass in the comfort of their home, surrounded by love. We’re so grateful for the gentle, respectful care she has given to both our pets and our family over the many years.

 I used Belinda to put my beautiful old red cloud down when it was needed. I was recommended her by a friend. 

She was so patient and empathetic but ultra professional. She explained everything including cremation options. Would highly recommend her services.

Thank you so very much. You were sooo very good with us all and thank you for helping us letting Goldie go as peacefully as she did. I honestly can’t tell you how very grateful I am. I loved that fiesty little muffin soo much and have been dreading this day for so many reasons but you helped me let her go peacefully, calmly and without any distress. For a little girl who’s pride and independence were how she presented, she would have been grateful, she wouldn’t have been demonstrative but she would have told you quietly, you did a good job! 🤭 🫶🏼xx

I found belinda over 7 years ago. 

Belinda has helped me with my 3 legged dog, and also helping with unfortunately putting to sleep 2 very old cat's, 

The one thing I will and can say, from experience, is that Belinda will not over charge, will always try and give the animal and owner peace of mind, and also helps with cremation, Belinda also understands that an animal is not just a pet but apart of the family
