I have never used a mobile vet before, and found the whole experience so much easier and less stressful for me and my pet. The vet, Jules was so warm, friendly, caring, and had everything she needed in a bag on wheels. Also, it was a much better way for my cat to be treated in our own home, instead of a stressful yowling car trip to a vets, and waiting around with a terrified animal. I recommend Jules and her mobile vet service to anyone needing veterinary services. I was also pleasantly surprised at the cost of the bill. Much less than I expected it to be considering the time Jules took to examine my cat, so some tests and answer my questions. She was just brilliant.

Approximate cost: $70

This is the second time I have used this service in the past 18 months. I have never thought to have my pets cremated before, but as I had both of these pets for so long it seemed more comforting to have them cremated than to just bury them, or leave them at the vets to go goodness knows where. This particular last time 6 weeks ago was traumatic, as I took my 10 year old cat the vet not expecting to have him put down. Pets Rest in Peace were very quick to come and collect my cat, even though it was a Sunday morning. They always call when they collect your deceased animal if it is a vets, to say your animal is in their care. I found that comforting, as it was horrible to leave my deceased cat laying on a table. Whilst it is a very upsetting time to say goodbye to a much loved animal, Sue and Beric don't rush you to make all the decisions about how the ashes will be stored etc. Beric is a former Funeral Director for people, so he has a great empathy for people in our situation with losing a pet. Their website is also very informative and helpful with lots of options for all budgets. When Beric, Sue or Rebecca bring your pets ashes back I found it comforting that my pet was home again with us, although not the way they left of course. When Sue bought back my cats ashes recently I was still very upset, as I had to go away for work for the week the day after my cat died, and had just got back home the night before. Sue must have been here for about half an hour talking with me about my cat, how hard it is to say goodbye when I got him as a kitten etc and was genuinely sympathetic. I have a Certificate of Cremation,plus a folder with a gold paw print of my cat. Also locks of his hair. As he was three different colours, I was really pleased to see that they had all three colours in the lovely organza bag in the folder. A nice touch too is a card a couple of weeks after they return your pets ashes thanking us for choosing their business. I would definitely recommend this business to anyone who is wanting to have their pet cremated. Lastly, an important factor for me too was that it is my pets ashes only in the urn, he was cremated individually. Some businesses put a few animals in together and you get a third of the combined ashes. I wasn't keen on that idea.
