I would love to say a very big thankyou to pet rest and especially Michelle.Today marks one year since she went to the rainbow bridge. The pain doesn’t go away but I am so blessed to have her with me. The urn she is in is so beautiful.I have never had to make the most painful and deepest call. I was so heart broken and was in enormous grief. My heart was broken.I needed to find a place to lay my most beautiful girl ‘Panda. She passed away most unexpectantly. Panda is my world and from the moment I made contact by visiting the premise I was at ease.The ceremony you organised for us was the most amazing thing you could have done for Panda and me. It was so moving that I never envisaged this was possible.I absolutely love Panda and miss her so very much.In honour of Panda I bought a couple of things that I hope you will use when people like me come and say their goodbyes to their most amazing animal/s.
Love from Panda and Carmen

To all if you at Pet Rest, we just want to thank you so very much for the care and kindness taken in preparing Rosie’s cremation and her beautiful certificate. It means the world to us. The paw print will always remind us of how she would put her paw in the air (like a high five) if she wanted more time on the sofa or the bed or on the back seat of the car, so cute and easy to give in to. The hair from her beautiful brush, we can see dancing along as she excitedly ran down the beach, immersed herself in the surf and threw herself onto the sand for a roll about, always without fail, that was Rosie’s thing. We loved her so much and miss that pretty little face everyday.
Thanks for your thoughtfulness, kind hearts and for taking good care of our precious girl.

We would just like to say a very big thank you to all of you and your staff. From the moment of contact we felt that we were understood and that our much loved Sassa would be well taken care of! The beautiful presentation and the little details were just gorgeous and appreciated. We now have her ashes back at home with us where she belongs. You are all truly wonderful. We would recommend you and your team without hesitation. Thank you all again.

Michelle and the team at Pet Rest Cremations,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for caring for my beloved fur baby Kit on his final journey. Your support during the most heartbreaking experience of my life took so much weight off my shoulders. I knew he was in good hands with you. Thank you so much

We brought our beautiful Ebony home
yesterday. Her little urn is so sweet and to be able to touch her locks of hair and see her paw print is so comforting. The Rainbow Crystal will bring her light into our home.
Thank you for treating her with respect and dignity.
It’s people like you who make the world a better place.
Again my heartfelt thanks

My husband and I were so impressed with your service. Our much loved Ruby (staffy) was collected by you from Maroochy Vet Clinic last Saturday. The vet Matt was marvelous and his staff were so supportive. They arranged everything for us and yesterday Ruby came home again in a sweet little urn with a beautiful card., including foot print.
Thank you all for your communication and understanding, professional service. We recommend you to others 100%.

I would sincerely like to thank everyone at Pet Rest Cremations who looked after my big Ridgey baby girl Kaaba. I was a babbling mess on the phone the morning I lost her and they were nothing but patient and so sincere while i tried to get the words out.They picked her up from home, off her favourite place ..her bed. I picked her up and took her home a few days later where I have her close forever. I will take her scatter box down to the beach where she loved her walks to scatter some of her ashes at sunrise on the weekend…I cant recommend Pet Rest enough. So from the bottom of my heart and Kaaba’s too thank you so much for making her passing just that much easier to deal with. She is terribly missed and forever loved xxxx

Dear Michelle,
I would sincerely like to thank you for your kindness and understanding when looking after Macduff last week. You have made it so much easier for us – I hope you know how much. After almost ten days at least I can speak about our beautiful boy, so things are looking up! We can’t thank you enough

To all the wonderful staff at Pet Rest, My husband Spike and myself would like to thank you for your care of Lilly during this difficult time. Your caring support was greatly appreciated and it made our loss a little bit easier knowing that she was looked after with dignity
Kathy and Spike
Thanks so much for taking such special care of our beloved dogs. Kev was 2 years ago now and we couldn’t fault your service, hence why we contacted u guys when our beautiful lulu passed on Wednesday. Even down to the inside of the car was just amazing. I felt very comfortable letting you take her. Your staff were amazing also. So kind and understanding. Our dogs were our family and you definitely treated them as such. X

That special time
The decision is made- now what?
You know the day/ time is coming, but your beautiful pet is still with you. How do you go about making that last little time the best for them. For some pets they may be in pain or incapable of a lot of movement, whilst others may still have energy. We have gathered a few ideas from families who have created special memories in the last bit of time:
- Food, glorious food! We all try and give them the best but they always trying to eat things they shouldn’t… but when it comes to this point- why not? We have been told of fur-babies having fried chicken, special roasts dinners, LOTS of smackos, and even icecream! Chocolate, nuts, avocado and garlic are still no-no’s however the possibilities are endless.
- A special walk at their favourite spot- whether that’s just in the garden or at a particular beach/park. If they can no longer walk, perhaps just carrying them or a drive in the car. Just a special little adventure to somewhere they like to be.
- There does come a point where just spending time with them and having lots of pats and cuddles is just what they need. Being surrounded by those people, toys, blankets and treats and smells that they are familiar with is the most comforting environment.
Special ways to remember/celebrate their life-
There are so many lovely ways to celebrate the life of your beloved family member. Here are some examples
- Lighting a candle and/ or setting up a special memorial area in your home can be a nice way to keep their memory with you. You could include things such as photos, their collar/lead/bandana, their paw print, sympathy cards from family and flowers.
- Setting up a special place in the garden dedicated to your pet by planting a tree or burying their ashes
- Choosing a special place to scatter your pets ashes. Somewhere that they loved (eg the beach, river, garden) or somewhere that allows you to visit them such as your garden, or a special memorial pet garden (eg at Sunshine Coast Animal Refuge).
- Having a memorial product made up in their memory, for example a glass orb, a photo canvas/artwork , a garden ornament, jewellery or even a tattoo.
- Contributing to a cause important to you by making a donation in your pets name
- Donating your pets bedding/ jackets/ food/ medication ect to an animal shelter in memory of them
- Writing a special letter to your pet or writing up a little biography/eulogy can help with the healing. It is also a really lovely process to go through with your family and kids. You could choose to keep it private or even show family and friends to help them understand what you are going through.
- Looking through photos is another way of remembering the beautiful memories- which can really help you celebrate their life instead of grieving their loss.
