For nothing more than submitting a photo, the pet’s name, and whatever words of remembrance pet parents wish to contribute, Freddie’s Place will include departed pets in a dual online and in house living “Pet Memorial.” Linking the launch of the Memorial site to the Day of the Dead, a Mexican Heritage holiday where families welcome back the souls of their deceased loved ones for a brief reunion and celebration, the popular North County Animal Hospital is welcoming all area pet lovers to include pictures and personal messages of their pets who have passed on. With two ways to submit your pets information (via online form at their website or by just stopping by the 2395 S. Melrose Drive Vista location with a photo of your departed pets), Freddie’s Place wishes to include all area families in this one-of-a-kind memorial celebration, regardless if they are clients of the Animal Hospital or just dedicated pet parents who are passionate about their animals. The online Pet Memorial Page, which is complete with individual pet pictures and the heartfelt remembrance from their families, will be available all year to anyone who visits the Freddie’s Place website (www.freddiesplaceanimalhospital.com/memorial-wall/). The Dia De Los Muertos shrine onsite at the Freddie’s Place facility will be in place through Nov. 3, 2023. Freddie’s Place is a full service, 24/7/365, Urgent Care & everyday Wellness veterinary hospital servicing North San Diego pet families. With services including Canine/Feline Dental Care & Extractions, Laser Therapy, Veterinary Acupuncture, multiple Oxygen Therapy chambers to accommodate various sized pets, onsite surgery/labs/x-rays, end-of-life care, a unique Comfort Room for families to spend quiet and private last moments with their pets, Freddie’s Place continues to lead the way in old-fashioned, compassionate pet healthcare, at always fair prices.
