About

Farewell Dear Friend is a home euthanasia service based on Exmoor, Devon, run by veterinary surgeon Pauline Tolhurst. The service provides peaceful end-of-life care for pets in the familiar surroundings of their own home across the Exmoor area.

Pauline Tolhurst qualified as a vet over thirty years ago, initially practising in the Cotswolds before relocating to Exmoor. As a lifelong pet owner with horses, dogs, ferrets, and chickens of her own, she established the service to meet a growing gap left by busy practices that can no longer offer home visits for euthanasia.

    “When we knew the time had come to say goodbye to our beautiful Biba, we were heartbroken and anxious about how it would happen. Pauline was extraordinary. From the moment she arrived, she was calm, gentle, and so very kind — not only to Biba, but to us as well. She took the time to explain everything with such empathy, never rushing us, and she treated Biba with such dignity and tenderness. Although it was one of the hardest days of our lives, Pauline’s compassion made the experience peaceful and bearable. Instead of fear and distress, Biba’s last moments were filled with love, comfort, and calm. We will always be grateful for the way Pauline helped her pass so gently, and for the respect and care she showed us all. It was a gift we will never forget.”

    We feel fortunate to have found Pauline when our special 13 year old spaniel, Sapphi, who had been diagnosed with Lymphoma, was starting to struggle. She made our sad final farewell so much more bearable and less clinical than it might have been. We appreciated her caring and sensitive approach, giving us time to say goodbye to her at home in familiar surroundings. Paul and Judy Butler Devon
