We mentioned in our first blog, way back in April 2021, that we were fortunate to have a canal opposite our building. How many businesses (excluding the many others in The Depot) can say that?

Or that they have wildlife on their doorstep.

It’s great to take a few minutes each day to have a quick wander around the canal to see what’s happening and any new developments.

This blog post is the place for updates on what the Swan and cygnets are getting up to.

Look out for videos and photos.

Our tongue in cheek post today lists the 10 benefits of having a pet.  While light-hearted, there is real emotional, social and health benefits to having a pet.

Taking care of pet is a big responsibility, as the saying goes pets are for live, not just for Christmas – or in this current climate, a pandemic impulse.

We know that as living sentient creatures they require a lot from us but in turn they provide immeasurably more, a lot more, once we better understand their breed and personality

Physical Health

We have to make sure that they are fed and watered according to their needs.  We should provide them with the amount of exercise needed and an environment that they can thrive in.  Looking after their health includes grooming, in addition to their vaccinations and regular check-ups. Even being vigilant to different weather conditions is something to bear in mind.

Knowing how to take care of them in extreme heat or cold is a must.  

The RSPCA have a short booklet on how to deal with common pet first aid scenarios. If you get the opportunity do sign up to get a copy.

Mental Health and Wellbeing

Mental stimulation is so important, playing with your pet and giving them opportunities to behave according to their breed and personality will make them more comfortable.  In turn this will translate into a happier home.  We know that bored pets can lead to anxiety, regression or even destructive behaviour.  Interaction is vital, as is training. Doing thing that give your pet pleasure should be high on the list.  The following are a few of our favourites: ear rub, cats in a boxes, and hosepipe fun.

If your pet suffers from any mental health issues such as anxiety, have a look at these tips from anxiety week.

Remember for a small amount of extra effort, the rewards are great.

What Determines The Cost Of Pet Cremation?

The price of pet cremation can vary between crematorium, but the biggest price difference is if you want an Individual pet cremation or Communal.

An Individual Cremation is a singular cremation within a clean and private chamber.

A Communal Cremation means that more than one pet is cremated at the same time and the owner does not get the remains (ashes) back.

Pet Divine only offers Individual Pet Cremation Services, so we can guarantee pet owners that they will be getting the ashes back of their pet.

How Much Does It Cost To Cremate A Pet Near Me?

Pet Divine has competitive all-inclusive prices for pet cremation which are dependent on species. For dogs this is further differentiated by breed.

So, there is one price for an individual cremation, which includes a certificate and a premium cardboard urn.

What Other Costs Are There?

Pet Euthanasia At Home Cost

The price for a cremation does not include the cost of euthanasia.

If a pet is unwell and isn’t already deceased (from natural causes or an unfortunate accident), as a pet owner, you will know when the time is right for them to move on, be it due to age, chronic illness or becoming pain free.

Your vet will discuss the suitable options available and may be able to provide euthanasia at home rather than the vet practice. But if your own vet can’t or you’d prefer to have the last moments at home, there are mobile veterinarians who will be able to follow your wishes.

Collection And Delivery

If you would prefer not to handle your pet after they have gone or are unable to get to our premises, we can arrange collection of your pet. Additionally, Pet Divine can return their remains (ashes).

Collection Service

Collection is available from a vet practice or home. We will arrange a convenient time to collect your pet when you are ready to let them go.

Delivery Service

Pet Divine prides itself on a personalised service, thus once a pet has been cremated we only a delivery service or option for the pet owner to collect from our premises. This allows us to be certain that the right ashes are returned to the right owner. And allows us to trace the journey of each pet from arrival to return home.

Other Services

Please let us know at Pet Divine, how we can make the cremation service memorial for you and your pet, this could be from providing a pawprint, setting aside some of their fur (this is only possible in certain circumstance) for a keepsake or another other request.

Upgrade Urns And Caskets

We have a wide range of urns and caskets available as package upgrades.

We’ve shared this quote before by Jane Goodall but it bears repeating.

Here at Pet Divine, we couldn’t agree more. Once you get to know a pet, there is no doubt that they are more than their breed/species with distinct personalities and traits.  Thus, when they are gone from our lives, we do not want to forget them
