Navigating Pre-emptive Grief for Pet Owners

Navigating Pre-emptive Grief for Pet Owners Losing a pet is an emotional rollercoaster. It’s like losing a family member, with our furry friends providing companionship and joy throughout their lives. Unfortunately, their time with us isn’t as long as we’d wish, leading to a unique form of sorrow known as ‘pre-emptive grief’. This anticipatory grief […]

Spent time with our cat and even watered some plants for me. Felt very comforted and reassured our much loved pet was in good hands. Contact whilst we were away was excellent too with regular feedback, photos and videos. Would highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have used First For Pets , namely Eleanor for the first time. She looked after four cats for the last two days and we are very happy with the service she provided. She sent us lovely updates and pictures of our cats and this really put our mind at rest whilst we were away and we can’t thank her enough. We would highly recommend Eleanor and First For Pets.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently used First For Pets for the first time, with Andrea looking after our five month old kittens, Benji and Willow.

We were kept informed how they were doing throughout the time we were away and had multiple photos and videos sent via WhatsApp which helped put us at ease.

The kittens were very well looked after and we would use this service again without hesitation. Communication and service is top notch.

Thank you so much Andrea and team, you were amazing!!

Donna was amazing, she headed straight over and spent ages looking until she found him on the side of the road. She took him to a vet to be scanned and confirmed that it was our beloved cat, Odin.
We were totally devastated but Donna was so caring. She arranged for Odin to be cremated and then returned his ashes to us as soon as we got home. Everything was handled with kindness and sensitivity.
In addition to the shock and sadness at Odin’s death we were really worried about our other cat, Odin’s brother, as they were so close. The photos and videos Donna sent us of him were so reassuring that he was doing alright.
Everything was handled with care and professionalism and we are so grateful to Donna and Geoff.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A big thanks to Donna who recently looked after Alan & Boomer for two weeks. They had so much fun despite the rain and they even got to go to daycare a few times to play with other dogs, which they loved. Alan has epilepsy so we worry when we leave him, but Donna was brilliant at giving his meds and looked after him when he had a seizure, which is a difficult thing to watch.  I think they miss her and keep waiting for her to come back. I have every confidence in her and her team to look after my boys. Highly recommend! Thanks Donna

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve used the cat sitting/ visit services since the day we brought home our furbabies which was 4 years ago! Archer and Lana absolutely love their now auntie Alison coming to look after them in their own home. I love the daily photos and updates on our WhatsApp
Couldn’t ask for a better service!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Margot, my Hungarian Vizsla, loves going to doggy day care at First for Pets. She spends the day playing with her besties and returns home very contented. I’m happy knowing she’s in safe hands and well cared for. I love the video updates I receive throughout the day showing me how much fun she’s having.
