At Patch & Purr we provide pet cremation to grieving families across NSW. Forever in your heart xo

18/12/2024

At this time of year, when our families are getting together, there are often new pet friends to meet. Introducing dogs to each other in a busy environment can be tricky, here are some tips to help them make this transition:

• Introduce your pets in a neutral outdoor space. Reward both pets with treats for being in each other’s presence

• Relaxed and comfortable body language is key. If your pets are stiff or staring, it is time to interrupt their engagement

• Install baby gates or other barriers in your home to give your pets their own space when they are unsupervised at first. This can help with managing age differences with young puppies who are still learning boundaries

• Exchange some of your dog’s blankets beforehand so they are less anxious with these new smells

• Monitor feeding times and treat-giving times closely, but reward them often

• Try to keep a routine to help create normality and a sense of security for them

• Bring in a professional trainer beforehand for extra support if needed, and mostly, try to be patient with them as they learn

Here's to making some beautiful memories together xo

Heading into the holidays can be such an overwhelming time following a great loss in your life. Everyone grieves a little differently, and requires different support.

Things that might help you at this difficult time of year include:

- Allowing yourself to grieve and acknowledge the pain. Don’t forget to honour your feelings and speak with close friends or professionals when you need extra support.

- Respecting your feelings and let go of rituals that you find too difficult this year, there is always next year. Focus on some quality self-care.

- Making time to remember your loved one. Light a candle, make an ornament with their name, or donate to an animal charity in their honour.

- Giving yourself permission to show up exactly as you are xo

In the heart of New York’s Central Park, there’s a hidden gem—a tree adorned with photos, collars, and tributes left by pet owners honoring their beloved friends.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to see something similar here, with heartfelt mementos hanging from our local gum trees or fences? 🐾❤️

Who's picture or name would you be including? xo

*If you’re inspired to join in, please remember to decorate responsibly and keep our wildlife safe by avoiding loose ribbons.

🌏 On International Day of Veterinary Medicine, we'd like to extend our deepest gratitude to the dedicated and compassionate veterinarians who commit themselves to the well-being of animals across the world. We're fortunate to work alongside so many exceptional veterinary teams statewide, and we commend them for their remarkable daily contributions to the welfare of pets and their families.

On this special occasion, we also want to highlight the amazing work of Vets Beyond Borders. This organisation deploys skilled volunteer veterinarians and nurses to animal welfare projects globally. Their tireless efforts to care for animals in need across countries all over the world remind us of the immense impact that veterinarians can have on the health and welfare of animals.

A heartfelt thank you to all the amazing vets and veterinary teams, who, one animal at a time, make the world a better place xo 🐾

Volunteers have an important role everywhere, including in the care of pets. Today, on 'International Volunteer Day', we want to recognise the everyday heroes who dedicate their time and compassion to the pets that need them the most. These volunteers bring comfort, love, and warmth to pets in their most vulnerable moments.🐾

While their efforts deserve recognition every day, today we can really take a moment to truly appreciate the impact they make xo

A minute of undivided attention or peace and quiet could be the most cherished gift you can offer your pet this year. Practicing mindfulness/rest together can bring a sense of calm and connection as we approach the end of 2024.

What is your pet's favourite peaceful activity to do with you? Is it a leisurely walk, a cozy nap, or a refreshing swim? 🏖🏊‍♀️

For those who have passed over the rainbow bridge, taking a moment to light a candle or share memories of them on a remembrance walk is a beautiful way to cherish them always xo

What is the difference between Private and Communal Cremation in NSW?

Private Cremation
Commemorates your pet's life by way of cremation in their own private chamber. Many providers will simply place bricks between pets in one chamber; however, we will never take this risk so that we can ensure pets make it home to their own families. Keepsakes such as paw prints, memorial urns, and final goodbye viewings are all available for your loved one.

Communal Cremation:
Your pet is cremated in a communal chamber with other pets, and their combined ashes are respectfully returned to the earth on our private property. Memorial products and keepsakes are not available with communal cremation. A communal option may be written as ‘general cremation’ or ‘no ashes returned’.

If another method or provider is selected, and your pet is not returned to you, their remains may go to a landfill or waste management facility. Rest assured, Patch & Purr only offers dignified and respectful options for pets: Private Cremation or Communal Cremation.

Today we honour and remember the humans and animals who have served and sacrificed ❤️💜.

They shall not grow old,

As we who are left grow old.

Age shall not weary them,

Nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun

And in the morning,

We will remember them.

Lest we forget.

Help keep their legacy alive by attending a service, reflecting in silence, wearing a poppy, or supporting our veteran community xo

This upcoming holiday season, give a gift to honour the memory of a beloved pet with a truly thoughtful memorial item. Each piece offers comfort and a lasting connection to fond memories, forever cherished.

Paws to Heaven Pendant
This diamante stainless steel pendant is a heartfelt reminder that your pet’s spirit is always with you. The pendant holds a tiny amount of your pet’s ashes inside, and is sealed closed.

Crystal Keepsake (Beautiful on a Christmas tree)
This beautiful crystal contains a keepsake amount of your pet’s ashes or a lock of their fur. The crystal creates rainbows when it catches the light – a reminder from the Rainbow Bridge of the love your pet brought into your life.

Includes a small hole at the top to thread through a nylon thread if you wish to hang it up in a sunny spot (ribbon not included).

Eternity Ribbon Sphere
The lasting memento, ashes within a sphere is a perfect alternative to a conventional urn. Using the highest quality glass, a portion of your pet’s ashes are held securely in the stunning sphere.

The Eternity Ribbon sphere features a swirl of colour through the premium glass. (We know it can be difficult to wait, however please allow 4-6 weeks for this bespoke memorial piece to be created).

If your pet is not currently in our care, but you have their ashes or fur clipping safe and sound, our friendly Care Team can still arrange the creation of these pieces for you.

Reach out to our team to plan a kind and sentimental holiday gift x

On the eve of Halloween, our attention gravitates towards spooky creatures—mummies, ghouls, and goblins. Yet, let's not overlook our native bats, unfairly burdened with the same stigma of being 'scary' as well. This Halloween, let's celebrate these 'sky puppies' 🦇💓.

Curious about how you can help native bats? 💕

- If you find a distressed bat, report the sighting to your local wildlife group

- Protect fruit trees with dense woven nets, shielding both the fruit and the bats (or perhaps leave some fruit for the bats!)

- Installing microbat boxes in trees within your backyard

- Foster a bat-welcoming garden by planting species such as Bottlebrush, Eucalyptus, Grevillea, and Lillypilly

- Rally behind Bat Rescue groups by sharing their posts or offering your time, expertise, or resources

Our team stands committed to providing aftercare for native wildlife in times of need xo

Recently, the Patch & Purr team had the honor of caring for Lady Darci, a remarkable girl who touched countless lives through 11 years of service 🐾.

Lady Darci was the first dog in NSW to assist vulnerable witnesses in court, starting her work at Downing Centre Court and extending to Parramatta Children's Court, Campbelltown Court, Wollongong Court, and many others. She also brought comfort to patients in hospitals, nursing homes, to students and communities across NSW.

Thank you, Lady Darci for your incredible service. Our thoughts are with your family and colleagues as they remember and honour your life xo 🌈
