Because our pets’ life spans are so much
shorter than ours, most pet owners will have to face the loss of a pet. Additionally,
many pet owners will have to make the decision of whether or when to euthanize
a pet. It is a complicated and emotional decision which everyone copes with
differently. We are here to answer any questions we can, but we know that
you may prefer to read in depth about these issues or speak to someone in
a more anonymous manner.
If you have questions about or are having difficulty with the impending
loss of a pet or with a past loss, there are many resources available to
you.
Below are links to just a few of the many websites that may be able to help
you make decisions, learn how to discuss pet loss with children, or lead
you to people with specialized training with whom you can talk about your
loss and grief.
We trust CSW Farms for aftercare services for your lifelong companions.
Once your pet is cremated, the cremains are either returned to the family
or you can choose to have them spread in The Memorial Nature Preserve. If
you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to look at their website.
You may also call Cynthia Schmitt, owner of CSW Farms, for more information
or a tour of the facility.

At Cheshire Crossing Animal Hospital, the doctors and

of the mouth with emphasis on the teeth and gums is an integral part of
every pet’s physical exam.
Disease of the gum tissue, known as periodontal disease, affects 85% of
adult dogs and cats. Left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to pain,
bad breath, and tooth loss. Over time, chronic bacterial infection of the
mouth can lead to disease in other parts of the body such as the heart
and kidneys.
We all know that caring for our own teeth involves frequent brushing,
flossing, and rinsing. And while we may have the very best...read more
