Nine out of 10 UK pet owners prefer their pets to spend their final moments at home, survey finds - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"A recent study commissioned by Cloud 9 Vets found that nine out of 10 pet owners in the UK want their pets to spend their last moments at home. The survey included 400 pet owners who clearly preferred their pets to be in familiar surroundings instead of at a veterinary clinic. Yet, many do not know that at-home euthanasia is an option."
"Owners care greatly about giving their pets a calm and respectful farewell. But many are unaware that professional euthanasia services can come directly to one's home. This lack of knowledge can make facing the decision harder, with 87% saying it is difficult to know when to say goodbye. Having someone to talk to about home options can ease this burden."
"Most of us would choose to spend our final moments at home, surrounded by loved ones in a familiar and secure environment, so it makes sense that pet owners want the same for their animals."
A survey of 400 UK pet owners found nine out of ten want their pets to spend final moments at home in familiar surroundings, yet many do not know at-home euthanasia is available. Most owners prefer a veterinarian to visit at home rather than transport an unwell animal to a clinic, reducing stress for both pet and owner. Many owners find it hard to know when to say goodbye, and 87% report difficulty with that decision. Demand for personalised aftercare, including individual cremations and in-home support, reflects strong bonds and growing interest in compassionate end-of-life options.
