Christmas can be a time of remembrance as well as celebration.
In today’s video, we honour the beloved pets we’ve lost and the memories that live on.
Memorial ribbons will remain in place until Boxing Day for everyone who wishes to remember alongside us 🎀

A heartfelt thank you to Ballarat Veterinary Practice for their kindness, care, and support in helping us honour these much-loved companions.

We invite you to commemorate your pets this Christmas by adding their names to the memorial fence located at Ballarat Veterinary Practice in Howitt Street (Wendouree clinic).
Nikki will be there 5.30 pm today.

Why do we feel like we need to minimize or hide pet loss?

Because society quietly ranks grief.
Because people say 'it was just a pet' when, in reality, they were family.
Because the love was daily, constant, and often unseen by others.

Pet loss is real grief.
It deserves space, compassion, and acknowledgment without apology.

Grief reflects attachment, not species.
And loving deeply means losing deeply. 🤍

Of course, spending time with your very best friend helps 🐾❤️

But when you’re facing end-of-life or quality-of-life decisions for your pet, you may not always want to lean on friends or family.

If you’re looking for gentle, practical support, Fur the Broken Hearted is an easy to read self-help guide created to help pet parents navigate these difficult decisions with clarity and compassion.

Palliative care for a pet is a strange kind of heartbreak.
I’m holding my cat close while looking at cremation options on my laptop, wondering if it’s time to offer him the gift of euthanasia. The fear of getting it wrong of choosing too soon, is overwhelming.
Anticipatory grief doesn’t spare any of us.

Ribbons will remain on display throughout the Christmas period and will be removed after Christmas.
