What Inspired Us To Help Pet Owners Like You

Rough Day Pets was born out of a heartfelt and deeply personal journey with our beloved Corgi, Rally. Rally, a 12-year-old bundle of joy, had been a cherished member of our family, originally belonging to my wife's father who had passed away. As both of my wife's parents had passed away, Rally felt like our last living connection to them, making him an even more integral part of our lives.

Over time, Rally's health began to decline. His legs stopped working, and he started experiencing severe incontinence, constantly soiling himself. It became painfully clear that his quality of life was deteriorating. Despite our immense love for him, we were faced with the agonizing decision of whether to put him down, a choice we never thought we would have to make.

In our quest to find reliable and compassionate guidance on making this difficult decision, we scoured the internet for resources. To our dismay, we found very few trustworthy sources that could offer the empathy and comprehensive information we so desperately needed. The lack of support and clear guidance during this heart-wrenching time was disheartening.

It was through this challenging experience that we realized the immense need for a platform like Rough Day Pets. We envisioned creating an empathetic online resource dedicated to supporting pet owners facing the same heartbreaking decisions. Our mission became clear: to offer comfort, understanding, and practical advice to ensure that pets and their families experience as much peace and dignity as possible during these challenging moments.

Rough Day Pets was founded with the hope that no one else would have to face the same lack of support we did. Through our platform, we aim to provide compassionate guidance, helping pet owners navigate the euthanasia process with informed choices and emotional support. Rally's legacy lives on through Rough Day Pets, as we strive to be a beacon of comfort and understanding for those enduring the toughest of days with their beloved pets.

We strive to create a world where every pet and their family experience peace, dignity, and understanding.
