To all of our families

Following the story aired on Today Tonight (31 July 2008) we would like to reassure all of our families that we are not affiliated in anyway with Pets at Peace in Melbourne.

We are a Brisbane based owned and operated company; we guarantee to return all of YOUR pets ashes to you.

A Pet Owners Anguish.

I remember vividly sitting in the living room at the house talking with Brian who had just lost his mate of 14 years Jay. Jay was a big strong German Shepherd who had been part of Brian's family since he was a pup. Not just the family pet but also a much-loved member of the family.

Brian shed a tear as he reminisced about all of the memories and times that Jay had shared with his family. Having work in the funeral industry for many years and through my own life experiences I believed I shared Brian's feelings and thought I understood his pain and grief.

Then Brian said something to me that I will always remember. He said, " this is harder than when my mother died. " As I sat with Brian my mind racing with responses from my years of being a Funeral Director, he continued, " I never had to make the decision to put my mother down ".

Our pets are part of our family, they are our companions as we travel the ups and downs of life, and we should always honor them in the manner that we want to.

I know that death is not a subject that we want to talk about, but I started thinking that there is no real information that can help families prepare for this heart-wrenching situation. We hope that you will never have to face the loss of your special family pet. If you do find yourself in this sad situation we hope that the information we have provided on our web site will assists you in your time of need.
