Poppy

25/3/2010 - 09/09/2026

Poppy came to us in February 2023 as a 13 year old rescue dog. A very independent little lady, she made herself at home choosing one of the 7 beds we had for her, one in each room so she would always be with us, hauled the toys out of the box, squeaking every toy. Poppy knew what she wanted, slept more than she was awake and just settled in like she had always been here. She found her place on the sofa that first night and never made a sound. We enjoyed nearly 4 years with our little girl but she became deaf, blind and had dementia and time wasn’t on her side. She passed peacefully on Wednesday 16 October 2026 at the grand age of 16 and a half. Her ashes take their place next to the other dogs and will remain with us now for the rest of our days.

Important Notice
Temporary Closure

We’d like to let our visitors know that our Cambridge site will be closed to the public on Saturday 11th July due to ongoing building works.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to improve our facilities.

Thank you for your understanding.

Important Easter
Delivery Notice

To ensure the safe and respectful return of your pet’s ashes, we will be temporarily pausing all courier deliveries between 2nd and 7th April inclusive over the Easter period.
 
As courier services can be affected during this time, we cannot guarantee the prompt delivery standards we always aim to provide. Rather than risk ashes being delayed or held at courier depots, we feel it is more appropriate to keep them safely in our care until normal service resumes.
 
For families who have chosen to have ashes returned directly by courier (including PDSA clients), deliveries will resume from 8th April.
 
For all other families, ashes will continue to be returned to your veterinary practice as usual once ready.
 
If you are local to one of our sites and are expecting your pet’s ashes to be returned via courier during this time, you are also very welcome to arrange collection of your pet’s ashes. Please contact our team on 01763 207700 in advance so we can make the necessary arrangements for you.
 
Easter Opening Hours:
 

Good Friday (3rd April): Closed

Saturday 4th April: 8:30am – 3:00pm

Easter Monday (6th April): Closed

From Tuesday 7th April: Open as normal (8:30am – 5:30pm)

We greatly appreciate your understanding.
