Losing your pet is a heartbreaking experience like no other. You may be faced with difficult decisions that need to be made quickly. It’s important to know that there is specialised support available.
Through my work at Light After Loss, I’m fortunate to connect with other businesses in the industry to recommend and refer clients if they need extra support outside of my expertise.
​
I’m proud to partner with three incredible, caring and compassionate Pet Crematoriums throughout Ireland. Each premises has been approved by the Department of Agriculture and provides dedicated individual cremation services. I am honoured to be partnered with Irelands first palliative, hospice and end of life care service Rainbow Bridge Veterinary Services and also the dedicated at home end of life Sunset Veterinary Services.
