The Doctors and Staff at Suburban South are honored to be apart of every hello and share in your ups and downs throughout your pets life. We want you to know we will also be here during the difficult times, to share in those feelings of loss and help guide you through saying good-bye to your loved one. 

If you're here. Please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of your pet. Heartbreak comes in all shapes, sizes, species, and breeds. We understand these times can be very difficult and would like to extend some resources available to you and your family during this time. We hope that some of these bring you peace and you find comfort in all the beautiful memories you have made with your pet.

The Rainbow Bridge 

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. 

It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of all its beautiful colors. 

Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, 

hills and valleys with lush green grass. 

When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. 

There is always food and water and warm spring weather. 

The old and frail animals are young again. 

Those who were sick, hurt or in pain are made whole again. 

There is only one thing missing, 

they are not with their special person who loved them so much on earth. 

So each day they run and play until the day comes 

when one suddenly stops playing and looks up! 

The nose twitches! The ears are up! 

The eyes are staring and this one runs from the group! 

You have been seen and when you and your special friend meet, 

you take him in your arms and hug him. 

He licks and kisses your face again and again - 

and you look once more into the eyes of your best friend and trusting 

pet. 

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together never again to be apart.
