The team at Sunset Vets knows just how hard it can be when you need to say goodbye to a beloved pet. Grappling with the confusion of making end-of-life decisions can be incredibly difficult and emotionally taxing, and sometimes support is needed.

Nikki Catley has dedicated herself to helping others process the loss of their pet. From her own experiences, Nikki has written Fur the Broken Hearted, a book designed to help owners struggling with pet loss and the difficulties of end-of-life decision-making.

Fur the Broken Hearted

Fur the Broken Hearted is a book for anyone who understands the immense love and joy a companion animal can bring but who may also be currently crippled by the devastating thought of beginning end-of-life discussions and processes.

For anyone struggling to decide if the time to offer the ultimate gift of peace (euthanasia) to your fur baby is now or impending, this book can assist you in preparing the best way possible.

You may never be 100% sure of your decision and that’s okay, but planning is certainly the key to the best outcome for all.

Testimonials

Such an amazing, wonderful and supportive team. Saying goodbye to my little girl was hard, but the Sunset team took so much of the burden. They helped arrange cremation at a time when I could barely get 2 words out between sobs and were patient and helpful when I changed my mind about what time I wanted them to come. I will sing their praises until I'm hoarse and will tell everyone I meet.

Absolutely outstanding care, compassion and support given by Dr Jackie and her team! Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you for making a very difficult time much more bearable with such care :)

Thank you so much for looking after our family so well over the past years. Thank you for helping us through this most difficult decision and process. Your sensitivity and professionalism helped so much. The pain and the emptiness is almost unbearable but we have so very many happy, happy memories to treasure. Guess we'll just have to bring in the mail and the papers ourselves now! With thanks again.

Thankyou doesn't seem enough to convey our heartfelt gratitude for the outstanding care you have given Eddie. Your compassion and support helped us navigate what was for us a truly traumatic day and for that we will be forever grateful. So thankyou to the whole team for everything you have done as well as all the knowledge you have shared which enabled us to give Eddie such a happy and healthy life.

Thank you to the extraordinary team at Sunset Vets who provided a high level of care and compassion when we recently had to say goodbye to our 14-year-old girl, Jewel. Allowing her to go at home in familiar surroundings made the process less stressful for her, our younger dog and ourselves. Special thanks to Ashlee for her compassionate manner on the phone (who arranged this for us at short notice)... and Dr Jan who was gentle and caring when it mattered most. We're grateful you've provided this service on the Sunshine Coast.
