At our clinic, we understand that deciding when to say goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the most difficult decisions an owner can face.

Our veterinarians are here to help guide you through this process with honesty, compassion, and care. When a pet’s quality of life is declining and comfort can no longer be maintained, euthanasia may be the kindest option to prevent further suffering.

We encourage pet owners to have open conversations with their vet, ask questions, and take the time they need to make the decision that feels right for their pet and family. You don’t have to face this moment alone — we are here to support you every step of the way.

If you have concerns about your pet’s comfort or quality of life, please contact our clinic to discuss your options. 🐾

We truly appreciate our clients so much! We were gifted this amazing coffee machine from Mr. and Mr. Helmand, along with their paws-itively wonderful Pekingese Beans. Thank you so much for your generosity and kindness — it truly means a lot to us.

Fair warning though… if you see the staff running around extra fast today, it’s not an emergency — it’s just the caffeine kicking in! 😂⚡️

This Christmas, we were truly blessed with the most amazing gift. 💝

Mrs. and Mr. Ireland made a very generous donation toward three incredible NPOs that we work hand in hand with.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support. Because of your donation, we are able to sterilise and help thousands of pets in need—like Rax, featured in our previous post. 🐾❤️

This gorgeous girl is the last baby waiting for her forever home! 💖
She has the most beautiful, loving personality and is full of playful energy—she’ll keep you entertained and smiling every day.

At 18 weeks old, she’s well-socialised and gets along happily with both cats and dogs. She’s ready to bring love, fun, and cuddles into the right home.

Please contact Raquel if you’d like to give this sweet baby the forever home she deserves.

Meet Rax 💙
Rax came to us on 28 December after being hit by a car. X-rays revealed that he had a broken leg. After discussing his condition and treatment options, his owners made the difficult decision to surrender him into our care.

We immediately jumped into action and, with the incredible support of the NPO Pawsitive Mobility, Rax underwent surgery to repair his leg. Following the procedure, he went into foster care for six weeks of recovery and strict cage rest.

But Rax had other plans. His foster family fell in love with him on just day two. they made it official. Rax has been adopted and is now living his best life in a forever home filled with love. 🐾✨

💙 Meet the newest (and cutest!) member of the Brackenhurst Vet family 💙
Everyone say hello to Aloo, aka Sponono 🐶✨

Aloo came to us on 15 November with a right tibial fracture. After 6 weeks of cage rest, lots of bandage changes, and endless love, her little leg has healed beautifully 🩺💪🐾

Some patients just steal your heart… and Aloo did exactly that 💕 She has officially joined the family, and we couldn’t imagine life without her now 🥰

Our practice pup Bane now has a sister, and these two have been best friends from day one — double the paws, double the mischief 🐾🐾💙

Welcome home, sweet Aloo 💖🐶✨
