Special pets allow us to remember the good times we shared with them, even as we mourn their passing.

Circle of Light

A client has passed on a beautiful way to honor the passing of our furry friends and critter companions to us and we are honored to continue the memory onto others.

 

About Circle of Light

The Circle of Light is a worldwide, at-home, pet memorial that is held every month on the night of the full moon. To take part in this beautiful tribute, light a candle and spend a few minutes quietly thinking about, meditating upon, or sending intentions or prayers for those special pets who have gone.

NEW!!!  Local Pet Support Group now hosting monthly Zoom meetings


The Chicago Veterinary Medical Association hosts a pet loss support group, called Wings, on the first Wednesday of every month.

For more information about Wings, please visit their website or call their Pet Loss Helpline at 630-325-1600.

Normally, Wings meets at 7:30pm at the CVMA office at 100 Tower Drive, Suite 234, in Burr Ridge.

No reservations are needed, and there is no charge to attend, but they do accept donations.

 

Beginning on Wednesday, June 3, Wings will be hosting a Zoom meeting in place of the usual in-person support group meeting.

 (Zoom meetings will continue on the first Wednesday of every month until in-person meetings resume.)

To join the Wings Zoom meeting, please email Dr. Linda Harper at: LHarper6@aol.com by 6:00 pm on the night of the Zoom Wings meeting. 

You will then get an invite from Dr. Harper with instructions on how to enter the Zoom Wings Meeting.

  • Microchipping
    It's a sad fact that over 85% of lost pets are recovered without any collar or tag identification. You can maximize the opportunity to be reunited with your pet by calling for a microchipping appointment. A microchip provides permanent, lifetime identification that can never be lost. The microchip - about the size of a grain of rice - can be easily implanted into the skin between the shoulder blades by one of our trained Veterinary Nurses. For under $50, you can provide your pet with safe lifetime protection that can never be lost!
  • Vaccinations
    Have you ever been to a facility that tells you about "Platinum" vs. "Gold" or "Silver" vs. "Copper" levels of vaccine protection? Would you be surprised to learn that what they usually refer to as the "least" level of protection may actually be the BEST and SAFEST for your pet? Today's watchword on vaccinations is "individualized." Vaccinating with every vaccine known to be available for a dog or cat - just because it is available - isn't just old medicine, it's BAD medicine. That means that more hospitals should do as we do - tailor vaccine protocols to your pet's specific needs, after a careful discussion with you about the risks your pet faces. We'll explain what your pet needs - and what your pet doesn't need - and why.
