Pet collection

We can collect your pet from home or your vet

Collection is available with individual cremation for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other pets across Shropshire, Staffordshire, and beyond.

Call us on 01952 374 001. We'll gently talk through where your pet is and arrange a time to collect. Your pet stays in our care from that moment on.

Collection from your home

If bringing your pet to us isn't possible, we'll come to you. When we arrive, we'll handle the practical details gently and give you as much time as you need before we leave. There's no rush.

We can collect from homes across Newport, Telford, Shropshire, Staffordshire, and the surrounding area. If you're unsure whether we reach you, call us on 01952 374 001 and we'll check before you make any arrangements.

Collection from your vet

If your pet is with the vet, you can still ask for them to be released to a cremation provider you have chosen. You do not have to use the cremation arrangement offered by the vet.

We can collect directly from the practice, and if you'd rather not handle that conversation yourself, we can speak to the vet for you. Read more about choosing your own cremation provider.

What happens after we collect

Your pet stays in the care of the same family-run team throughout. Collection is currently available for individual cremation, where your pet is cremated on their own and their ashes are returned to you.

If you choose individual cremation, your pet's ashes are usually ready within 48–72 hours. You can collect from us, or we can arrange ashes delivery back to you. See how it works, step by step.

Communal cremation is currently available by drop-off appointment only. Read about that option.

Collection prices

Collection is £35 within 12 miles of our TF10 9DX facility, then £2 for each extra mile. Individual cremation prices are published in full on our pricing page.

Afterwards, most people come to us to collect their pet's ashes, which is always free. If you'd prefer, we can deliver them back to you instead. Ashes delivery is charged using the published distance-based rate.

There's no extra charge if you'd rather bring your pet to us yourself.
