Unfortunately we had to use Barnshaw on Bank Holiday Monday 26th August 2024. They were referred by Silver Gate Vets who they work very closely with. The vets came to our house to put Ozzy to sleep and there was no rush whatsoever - everything was done in the our time - Once the vet had finished they advised we could have as long as we needed until Barnshaw collected Ozzy - we said about 10 mins or so - they respectfully reversed up our driveway very very slowly and everything was explained to us what would happen - Chris and Diane were fantastic and treated Ozzy like it was a person from our family - very dignified. I helped them carry Ozzy out in the sling to their vehicle as he was a big lad - and there was a big comfy bed waiting to put him in with a snug blanket. Again they drove off very slowly on their drive back down to Tenterden. Ozzy was cremated on his own later that day as we didn't want him put in a freezer or on a group cremation.After the event we sorted out options with Chris and Diane on the casket we wanted and the writing to be engraved on it.All was done swiftly and rather than having it posted and the risks involved with that, we decided to make the trip to Tenterden to collect Ozzys ashes. They have a lovely setup here and everything is so personal, Ozzy was ready for us along with the paw print they took before cremation and a lovely card with some very kind words inside.I cannot recommend Chris and Diane enough - they were brilliant in a time that was very dark for us losing our Ozzy who was 13.5 years old - thank you so much for everything you did guys its very much appreciated. RIP Ozzy you are at home with us now pride of place and we light a candle for you every evening xxx
