• Bobbie

  We sadly lost our beloved long haired chihuahua Bobbie on Saturday 25th April, pets at peace was recommended to us by a friend and I’m so pleased she told us about them as they were so kind and really understood what we were going through and Bobbie was treated with the love and respect he deserved . They have a farewell room with a bed with a silk cloth over it and they lit candles around it, two seats to sit with him and say our final goodbyes. We picked out a casket from their selection of different caskets. when we returned for his ashes, we got the casket that we picked with his ashes in, his pawprints in a frame with two spare copies, a slate heart with a lovely quote on with his paw print on the bottom, a tiny jar with some of his hair in, a sympathy card, a cremation certificate, some scatter seeds. we got a paw print to put on a tree they had with all the dogs and pets they had cremated. They had a dog wall as well with pictures of the dogs who they have cremated so we got Bobbie put on there as well.
  We also ordered some jewellery with his ashes inside.
  We couldn’t of asked for a better send off for our beloved dog as he made his way over the rainbow bridge.

• Jax

  On Tuesday this week we had the worst event of me and my partners life.
  Our beautiful pet Jax (Bichon Frise) passed away suddenly.
  This little dog was my rock and best friend from when I picked him up at 11 weeks old until he died age 10 years old.
  We kept him at home for 24 hours after calling the vet to see how to have him cremated and have his ashes back as soon as possible.
  We were given the price and timescale to get Jax back and this was upsetting that it could take up to 2 weeks, thank goodness I asked why so long and were Jax would be taken to be told he would be taken over to the North East, that really upset me….
  The receptionist at the vets then told me about a private cremation and told me about Pets At Peace (thank god).
  Stephen and Jeanne obviously can’t take away our pain of this loss but there support and expertise was superb.
  From passing my gorgeous boy to Jeanne, he was handled with respect and care.
  Everything was explained fully and Jax was cremated at 9am the next day and we had him home by 3pm.
  Please don’t hesitate to use this service.

• Oreo

  I honestly don’t know where to start with this review of Pets At Peace. Suddenly yesterday our family French bulldog Oreo crossed the rainbow bridge at home.
  Previously we had another family dog cremated through the vets and I said I would never do it again. I googled and found Pets At Peace, I rang the number and left a message and a short time later Steve called me back to discuss. He went through everything in detail and confirmed he could collect Oreo from home and take him into their care.
  An hour later he came to my mams house, spoke with her and offered his condolences and carried Oreo out of the house like a baby wrapped in his blanket. I received a message to confirm Oreo would be cremated as yesterday was and I would receive a call when his ashes were ready to be collected.
  My Mam and her friend visited Pets At Peace today to collect his ashes and the words they used to describe were “you would have to see the place to believe it, it was such a warm and welcoming place.”
  Everything had such a personal touch and I cannot thank Pets At Peace enough for their outstanding services to pets and their families in the most difficult of times.
