We had to let our beautiful staffy let go in there on Monday . We knew he was sick and we made the right decision. Few days before we called asking to let him go in the car in his bed where he will not be uncomfortable as it’s heartbreaking for any dogs or any owners. 💔 they said yes and I know it’s a common thing. On the day we had that very angry vet coming out from back door telling us it’s not as easy. (What a bs) anyway we went in and it took forever! That male vet was rude, emotionless and tried to squeeze as many as he could on that day! Sloane was so stressed on his final moments that it absolutely broke me. The girl who took us to the room was lovely so was the one who came to check is his heart was still beating. 💔 it took 30 mins for him to sit there and wait and made such an impact on how we said goodbye! We have another wee pup who will NEVER get back to this place. People like that should never work with any pets as they are not just the pets! They are your friends, they are family and Sloane was mine 💔
