The Pet Loss Blog

Caroline Hewson MRCVS
Welcome to my Pet Loss Blog
This is a space to ponder the many difficult decisions we have to take on behalf of our much-loved pets. In my experience, facing some of them now can make a big difference when the time comes.
My blog isn’t about answers. But, I will try to provide a varied mixture of musings and nuggets.
I’m afraid I can’t offer personal guidance or support, but I’d like to hear from you on Facebook and Instagram. Look out for our bereavement posts and please do share your comments.
If you are struggling to cope with pet loss, you can find helpful links on the Petplan Charitable Trust’s Bereavement page.
