Hi all
Hi all, on Thursday evening we had to say goodbye to our 16 yr old Collie, Suki. We really thought things could not get any worse...we were wrong.
We contacted a local to Stretford pet crematorium who organised a vet for Suki to be euthanased at home in the place she has sat with me on the floor for so many years in the evening, the vet was not only professional but respectful of Suki and said he would take her to the crematorium. On Friday we messaged them to see when we could pick her up. We were told they would try for that day. When we later messaged them again my wife said she could not bear for her to be lying around, we were told she is not, she is processing at the moment. On Saturday at 12.03 pm we were told they were waiting on engraving and it would be later that evening At 17.22 we were told they were still waiting on engraving, at this point can i suggest you look at the attached picture to see the meaning of engraving. At 20.57 we sent a message saying we would pick her up tomorrow without engraving to which we were phoned. We were then told we could pick her up at 11.30 am as the engraving would be arriving. My wife arrived at about 11.20 to find no one appeared to be there. They were also not answering the phone or messages. After over an hour i, from home, managed to contact some one , she said she was not at home but would sort it out. At this point i threatened her with the police for the return of my dog. When i contacted her again she said she could not contact the owner either. At this same time the owner appeared out of the house...now 13.30 and said he had been locked out or in or something. We now have what we think is Suki back though due to the way this has been handled we have some doubt if only by virtue of the fact of them being so unprofessional leaving aside that there appears to have been some level of dishonesty. We have now realised the business is under new management and does not appear to be a member of the APPCC . Can any one tell me if they have had similar issues with a local pet crematorium? Please at this point do not name if so as i am currently considering my next move. Sorry for a long post but as with all dogs she was special and deserved better than this . If you find yourself in this situation look outside the M33 aera 27
