Has anyone used this service? I was wondered if you got pestered for donations afterwards? I really want to talk about my beautiful girl who had to be PTS yesterday, but their 'chat' form wants my postcode. I'm not sure why they'd need that if not so they can send me begging letters?

So you want them to provide you with a service that you think you should not have to contribute to financially in any way? Who do you think should be funding this service for you ?

I’m so sorry for the loss of your girl, it is heartbreaking to face. I didn’t use the BC service (it was a comfort to know it might be an option iyswim) so can’t comment on donations but I promise that one day what you are feeling now will start to fade and only the happy memories will be left.
What helped a little for us was to start a Memory Book. Anything that popped into our heads to override the last horrible days went in there. We didn’t read each others’ at the time but we have since. It was good to write it down, have a cry.

Jesus, @CloudPop is that really necessary?

Sorry for your loss @SnugglyJumpersMakeItBetter Flowers
I've used the service twice and was never asked for donations. I can't remember but there might be a way of opting out of marketing contact.
I found their service to be incredibly kind, sympathetic and supportive, and always recommend it to bereaved owners. All the best to you.

Actually, I intended to make a donation out of gratitude for their support. I just don't want to be used as an ongoing cash cow because I'm vulnerable right now - I think that stinks. Do you think the Samaritans should charge by the minute too?

Unnecessarily harsh. Have some empathy.

Aren't you a charmer.

@SnugglyJumpersMakeItBetter , have a think about speaking to a friend or family, or even posting on this forum. Whilst it's great to talk to someone who is 'trained', actually I think those who have experienced a loss more recently (there are Dogshouse threads you can join) really 'get it' a lot more than a volunteer does.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
