Tia

Tia came into our lives aged 5 and gave us 7 wonderful years of love and mischief. She was an absolute diva but we loved her unconditionally. Mark made her passing as peaceful as possible, calming Tia down and providing mum and I with the time and space to say good bye to her in the comfort of her own home. 

The care and compassion of Mark was obvious. He explained everything clearly and thoughtfully. The card and seeds he shared when he brought back Tia's ashes was a beautiful gesture. 

I cannot recommend Mark enough. The service he offers is priceless. 

We have some wonderful memories of Tia and will keep her in our hearts forever.

"Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation." 

Milo

Dear Mark, 

Many thanks for bringing Milo’s ashes back yesterday and for the sympathy card, which was a lovely gesture.

We really do appreciate the wonderful care and support that you provided for Milo and for all of us recently. Milo had been a central member of our family for the last 16 years; we all loved him to bits, so his passing was inevitably an emotional time for us. In fact, much more so than I had imagined. We felt particularly fortunate to have found you to help him and us through this difficult time.  The fact that he passed away in his own basket, in his own house and surrounded by his loved ones made for a very peaceful and fitting end to a long and happy life. Your kindness, dedication, professionalism, time and sound advice through that whole process were enormously appreciated.

Thank you again for all your support; we will be sure to recommend you to all of our pet owning friends and, who knows, we may yet have another dog for you to look after one day!

Best wishes,

Sally

Sadly Sally’s family had to say goodbye to her last week. Her Dad wrote this wonderful poem for Sally:

A Word for Sally

Sally Wo Wo, it’s time to go.
Your last tricks – Rollover, Highjack The Hat, 
shows resolve and spirit right to the end.

Although you are trying, 
your strength’s reserve has let you down.
And whatever it is, lurking nameless within.

You were solid in presence,
and while others ran wild after whatever the chase, 
plodding along, by heel, you were there.

Whatever you did, and wherever,
long walks or short runs were took in your stride.

Doggedness – a word that means … you.

Lotti

Sometimes we have to say a goodbye to our beloved pets. Last week Mark had to visit Lotti so that her family could say their final goodbye to her in the peace of their own home rather than in a stressful veterinary clinic.

This week we received the following message from Lotti's family:

'I cannot thank you enough Mark, for your kindness, patience and compassion every time you visited but particularly on the evening we said goodbye to Lotti, I will never forget how you tried so hard to make such a difficult time a little easier for Lotti and us, you really are a one in a million vet.'
