Our Process
Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is never easy, and we understand how deeply emotional this time can be. Our process is designed to give you clarity, comfort, and support at every stage, helping you make thoughtful choices that feel right for both you and your pet. From the first conversation to the final moments and beyond, we are here to guide you with compassion and care.
Deciding to say goodbye
Making the decision to put your pet to sleep will be the hardest part of the process, however you do not have to make that decision alone. At Forget Me Not Pets we can guide you and reassure you each step of the way.
Get in touch
Once you have made the decision, there will be some things you will need to consider, which we can discuss over the phone.

Saying goodbye
When we arrive with you at the visit, we will ask you to sign a consent form which will allow us to carry out the euthanasia. We can take time to introduce ourselves and answer any questions you may have.

When you are ready, we will give your pet a small injection of sedation, which will feel like a very quick scratch, before we step back outside to allow you some privacy. This will allow your pet to completely relax and doze off peacefully and naturally, just surrounded by those they love.
Only once they are deeply asleep (after around 10-15 minutes or so), we will come back in to give an injection of an anaesthetic agent which will allow the heart to stop, and for your pet to pass away peacefully.
Afterwards
You are welcome to make your own arrangements, which may include a home burial or organising a cremation independently. If you would like us to help with cremation, you will have time to say goodbye to your beloved pet while they are at rest. When you are ready, we will return with a bed and blankets, and this is how we will gently take them with us.
We offer a private cremation service, and your pet’s ashes will be personally delivered back to you within a week of the visit. If you would prefer not to receive the ashes, that is entirely your choice.
You may also receive a complimentary ink paw print (and a nose print for dogs), along with a small bottle of fur clippings if you wish. It is also fine to bury your pet in your garden or to arrange your own cremation independently.
