SO WINTER IS NOT FAR AWAY.
The cynics might say that it never left this year but its going to get wetter, and colder and windier as we move towards Easter.
MY QUESTION TO YOU IS: "IF YOU OWN A DOG ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THE ONSET OF WINTER?"

Apart from human companionship the main thing dogs need is shelter; especially over winter. Can your dog shelter from the rain and cold? Does it have a dedicated kennel or access to your shed or garage?
The simple message is: "if you cant look after your dog you shouldnt own one!!

My second thought of the day is: "is your section dog proof? Dogs shouldnt roam the streets. Dogs shouldnt be able to harass other dogs or pedestrians. If you own a dog it is your responsibility to keep them safe and sheltered within your property.

WINTER APPROACHING PET CARE VERY IMPORTANT.
With winter approaching (is it here?) Pet owners must be vigilant in caring for their Pets. As Marty the Celebrant of Pets in Peace I see and hear of dogs left outside in cold wet conditions, unable to find shelter.
In many families Mum and Dad go to work and the kids go off to school each day. The Pet dog is left at home tied up or restricted to the back yard.
In winter this is a basic need of every dog and if you don't have a dog shelter or retreat in your back yard you are irresponsible and don't deserve having a pet dog.

Its a huge responsibility owing a dog. Think carefully before you have a dog as a family Pet.

At Pets in Peace we are available when that sad time comes and your pet (Dog or Cat) passes away. I can come to your home and pick your Pet up and arrange for its cremation. I then bring the ashes back to you.
The cost varies for every Pet. Cremation costs vary according to the weight of your Pet. An Urn for the ashes varies according to what you choose. The uplift cost is normally $70-$80.

So if your dog dies or has an accident call me and I can assist you at this time

PETS AND THE ONSET OF WINTER. With the weather changing in Autumn all Pet owners need to think more responsibly about their Pets. The colder weather with more frequent rain mean we need to ensure pets are safe and warm at all times. Too frequently I see dogs chained to fences or houses unable to shelter when it rains.
Our Pets need the same care and consideration as our families because our Pets are our families.

If you have an older dog or cat keep an eye on their breathing as they can get infections just like we humans.

In that sad event you lose your Pet to sickness or old age or accident call me. I am Martin of Pets in Peace and I can pick your pet up and arrange its cremation. I then bring the ashes back to you

Wandering Pets
I am Marty of Pets in Peace and I respond to calls from families when their pet has been hit by a vehicle. Over the last two months I have been called out to assist a number of families with pets who have been hit by vehicles. Too many in fact.

Cats are wanderers and very hard to contain in your property but they can be kept inside at night, a time of many cat accidents.

There is no excuse though if your dog is run over out on the road. All dogs should be restrained in your property; day or night; or on a lead.

Pet owners can save themselves a lot of grief by being more careful with their pets and vet bills and cremations can be expensive so saving a lot of money.

If you do need me to come to your home as your pet has died or been involved in an accident ring me on 0212458489

THE DEATH OF A PET!!
Yesterday I received a call from a distraught cat owner to tell me her 11 year old Pet cat had been hit by a car.

I quickly responded and drove to her place to pick up her friend. Understandably she was very upset so I spent time talking to her about her Pet. She smiled and laughed telling me about her good friend Pixie.

When she was ready together we placed Pixie into a special carry bag. I sang a Waiata to release Pixies spirit, then we carried her to my car.

I have arranged for Pixie to be cremated and then on Tuesday will return Pixies ashes to the owner.

My role then as a Pet Celebrant is to make this very sad occasion as good as I can and bring a sense of peace to the owner of the Pet.

Call me if I can help you

WINTER AND OUR PETS
With the weather deteriorating and the onset of cold wet days and nights, it is timely that I remind Pet Owners of their responsibilities to their pets. Like we humans, dogs and cats need warmth and shelter. As Pets age and develop ailments or physical infirmity they need extra care and support - again just like us.
In my role as a Celebrant with a special interest in Pets refer to Pets In Pets in Peace I see and hear far too many examples of Pets being neglected. Its bad enough that they are not provided with adequate food and water but the deprivation of shelter and warmth makes me really wonder why some people have Pets.
Love and human companionship are just as important as Food, Water, Shelter and Warmth.
I specialise in assisting families when their Pet passes away. I am a Pet Funeral Director. I will come to your place, pick up your pet, arrange for cremation, and return your Pets ashes in an Urn of your choosing.
Lets hope in these winter months you dont need my assistance to give your Pet the RESPECT it deserves
