Bowwout

How fast a decade has flown by since I set up Bowwout, my At Home Pet Euthanasia Service.  Back in 2014, for reasons I describe elsewhere in the website, I decided to provide a service where pets could pass away peacefully at home at their most content, surrounded by the people they love, at the end of their lives.  
Over the ten years I've helped put to sleep a variety of beloved pets, been welcomed in many homes, and met many kind and courageous people. In several cases I've been honoured by being asked back by owners months or years later to put down another pet. To all of you who have made that difficult decision I'd like to say "Thank you."
Thank you for your compassion towards your pets and your trust in Bowwout's service.

A decade later, this is my first blog for Bowwout. In future blogs I hope to share some insights into the end of life experience for owners, pets and vets. As well as light-hearted, funny and sometimes sad moments, that I've experienced as a vet down through the years. My next blog will discuss the most common question I'm asked, which is  "Should I  put down my pet, and if so, how will I know the right time?"
