Family Friends Timaru Pet Cremation Services

Some of us declare when we've lost our precious pet, that they're never going to go through the heartbreak again of losing another by not allowing themselves to love again. I've said it myself, but what I didn't know was that a new life in your life did heal most of the heartbreak. Sometimes we just don't know what's good for us yet others do.
So I just want to share of meeting some beautiful wee pups that are for sale locally. They are Bichon Maltese X and just gorgeous.
Please PM and I can pass on the owners phone number to you.

Family Friends Story.
Back in 2010/11 two people discussed a business plan to serve the wider community with a local service that was not available. The aim was simple in that people and their pets received the highest honest care deserved at that time of their life so that going forward, they never had any regrets and could cope better forever.
There was no free business handouts applied for just determined talks with the bank.
So with the help of another local Vet Practice who believed in us by using our services to which with their help, started us on our journey.
Time went on and was joined by another Vet Practice. It's an amazing feeling knowing so many people believe in you. This was obvious
with everyone we came in contact with regarding it's day to day operations. Years go by and then of course tragically the business took an unexpected road block by loosing the main man and his offsider had to step up and continue in his honor.
I've learnt alot over the past year and been blessed with meeting really nice clients and their pets who respect the service provided to them. They have ensured payment for the service is made immediately or by time payment. But unfortunately in the last 3 months there are 3 people who genuinely have set out and pull a swifty by not paying and as usual this will affect the new future clients which is totally unfair to them as I will require full payment before collection.
Thank you.
Karen.
