Just to let you all know that the crematorium will be closed from 17th May until the 3rd of June due to a much-needed holiday. My daughter will be here looking after the dogs but unable to operate the crematorium as we are using the time to have some maintenance carried out.
If you need crematorium while I am away just be careful as there are quite a few opening up that are not licensed. First question you should ask is "Are you licensed and who by?" the answer should be Animal Health based in Leeds. Local councils do not license pet crematoriums. Second question, "are you a member of the APPCC"
being a member means they have been inspected and have to abide by a code of conduct. Third question "Can I see you put my pet in the cremator?" DO NOT do this but ask the question, if the answer is "health and safety" or "no insurance cover for that" walk away as they don't want you to see what they are doing. Final question "Do you work directly for vets?" this means that they do mass cremations and clinical waste which is one of the reasons I do not work directly for any vet practices.
Anyway after now upsetting you all and wasting your time reading all of this hopefully none of you will need us!!!🤞
Best Regards
Brian
