VetCare@Peace Store
Respectful & supportive pet cremation
Losing a beloved pet is never easy, and we understand how important it is to have a meaningful way to honour the life and love you shared. Our shop has been thoughtfully created to offer comfort during this time, providing a wide selection of memorials and keepsakes that help you keep your companion’s memory close, both now and in the years to come.
To help you cherish your pet’s memory, we offer a carefully considered range of items, each chosen for its quality, sentiment, and dignity. Our collection includes traditional and contemporary urns, hand-crafted glassware, memorial jewellery, clay or ink paw prints, fur-filled jars and keyrings, bespoke artwork, and even teddy bears lovingly created using your pet’s own bedding. Every piece is designed to be a lasting tribute, allowing you to remember your pet in a way that feels personal and meaningful.
VetCare@peace is an independent, family-run pet crematorium founded by John and Catherine Rosie, the team behind the trusted VetCare@Home mobile veterinary practice. Built on years of professional experience and a deep love for animals, VetCare@peace was created to provide families with a more personal, gentle, and dignified approach to end-of-life care. Our values are rooted in compassion, transparency, and respect — not only for the pets entrusted to us, but also for the people who love them.
Our small, dedicated team is here to support you every step of the way. From the moment your pet comes into our care, through the cremation process, and beyond the return of their ashes, we strive to offer clarity, choice, and reassurance. Every pet is treated as an individual, with the utmost care and compassion, and we take great comfort in knowing that you will be reunited once more.

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.

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.
