Pet Loss Support
Respectful & supportive pet cremation
Grieving the loss of a beloved pet can be a deeply emotional experience — you’re not alone.
We offer compassionate pet loss support to help you navigate this difficult time, with resources and services designed to honour the bond you shared.
Whether you need someone to talk to, a quiet space to reflect, or guidance in creating a meaningful tribute, our team is here to support you. We understand that pets are family, and losing them can bring profound sorrow, confusion, and even isolation.
Our Remembrance Room provides a peaceful environment where you can spend time in reflection, write a message, or simply sit with your emotions. We also offer access to grief support resources, including referrals to pet bereavement counsellors, support groups, and memorial options to help keep your pet’s memory close.
Everyone grieves differently, and there is no right or wrong way to mourn. Our role is to walk beside you with care, understanding, and respect — every step of the way.
How It All Works
Losing a pet can feel overwhelming, and knowing where to turn for support isn’t always easy. Our Pet Loss Support service is here to offer clarity, comfort, and a gentle hand to hold. We guide you through the process of understanding your grief, finding the right support, and honouring your pet’s memory in a way that feels meaningful to you.
Firstly
We recognise how deeply emotional losing a pet can be, and we want you to know you’re not alone during this time.
Next
We provide a range of caring resources and services—from a quiet space for reflection to access to grief support and counselling—to help you honour your pet’s memory.
Finally
Our team is dedicated to offering understanding and companionship, respecting that everyone grieves in their own way and supporting you throughout your journey.

We contacted VetCare@Peace and we were able to take her the next day to be cremated. The care, kindness and understanding of Glen, along with the beautiful surroundings made it much easier to say goodbye to our beautiful girl.

They were caring, compassionate and patient. We had to have our beautiful girl put to sleep but it was done in the best possible way.

I have used this vet on several occasions and I cannot honestly say they are the best vets when you are having to make a difficult decision. They are kind, caring and compassionate and I can honestly say I would not use anyone else.
