End of life options

Being prepared and knowing what to do in the event of sudden death or necessary euthanasia  of your horse, pony or donkey ensures that you don’t have to organise arrangements in the midst of grieving.

Planning and knowing where to go for practical and compassionate equine end of life advice is essential so that your companion’s death is dealt with humanely, and sensitively.

The horse must be collected quickly, sympathetically, efficiently and at a mutually acceptable price which the owner can afford, and which ensures the collector can provide a quality, professional and timely service.

Notification of your equine`s death

The Passport Issuing Organisation (PIO) who issued your horse’s passport should be notified within 30 days of their death.  In order to avoid  appointment reminders your veterinary practice, dental practice, and physio should be contacted too.
