Memorial Wall
Our memorial wall below was created in 2023 in memory of those pets who have sadly passed over the rainbow bridge. Below, you can send us your memories, thoughts or feelings as well as a photo for us to add to our wall.
Please use the wall to reflect on your thoughts, emotions and and knowing that many other pet owners are experiencing the same feelings, thoughts and grief. We hope this can being you some comfort during those hard times.
Our pets are very special to us, providing unconditional love with total acceptance, often becoming a companion and sharing our experiences. It is therefore understandable that when this bond is severed, the sense of loss is often difficult to come to terms with, both emotionally and physically.

The death of a pet is very upsetting and it is important to allow yourself time to grieve.
Talk things over with friends and family.
Everyone reacts differently to grief but rest assured that these sad feelings will fade in time.
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together…”

Pablo
A little guy we had for a short time, but made a major impact on all of our lives. RIP Mr P xx and thank you so much for all the vets involved in his care and support given to us as a family. Special thanks to Sam & Antonio - sorry I know more of you were involved with Pablo's care but forgive us it was a bit of a blur and surreal. We are still trying to get our heads around what has happened. Cannot believe he was taken so quickly from us xx
Wheatley
I think you'll agree, he was a rather lovely looking dog.
We are drawing together all of our pictures over the years and making an album of him. I confess it has been a comforting distraction, even if short-lived
Miya
A sweet special girl from rescue everyone who met her loved her. She taken from us too early because of cancer. Much missed she will always have a special place in our hearts
Max
A devoted and loyal friend who helped me through some exceptionally difficult times. Always in my thought you lovely boy.
Bill
Two weeks ago I sadly had to say one last goodbye to our family cat Bill , who had made it to 19 years old ! I can’t thank the team enough for the compassion and care they showed Bill and to myself since this sad day . From the wonderful vet Silvia to who supported me with this awful decision and who was so kind to our old boy , to the reception team who have all passed on their condolences when I’ve called since and then today to receive the beautiful card and Bills paw print in the post . This level of care and compassion is wonderful, thank you to the whole team for showing us that you all understand how we feel about our pets
