About RestIngPets

After suffering the loss of our pet dog relatively quickly, we found ourselves unprepared and asking the almost unanswerable question of what happens next.  And that led to further questions; like what options, if any, were available to us immediately in that moment of profound sadness and grief. Who could offer us a solution? Who has the answer? All these questions while at the same time trying to come to terms with the initial denial stage of grief, set upon us people like a smack in the face when we are at our weakest and most vulnerable.

After having to make the heartbreaking decision, after 15 years, to put our beautiful Lucy to sleep, we already knew we wanted to bring her to Resting Pets after reading their story and knowing they would understand the grief we were feeling. From the very first phone call, both Eamonn and Orlaith treated us with the upmost compassion and respect and made the whole process so much easier to cope with. Being able to bring Lucy down to them ourselves gave us so much comfort. It’s such a beautiful area with lovely sea-views, surrounded by green fields, we know our Lucy would have loved it there. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Orlaith, who helped us bring Lucy in and lay her down on a lovely soft bedded area. The whole time, Orlaith was very gentle and respectful of our girl and made sure she was comfortable. She then went through all the options with us and was very accommodating with the special requests that we had. We were then given ample time to be with our Lucy to say goodbye. We then got to spend some time speaking with Eamonn and hear more about his story and how Resting Pets came to be. We knew from speaking with him that he loves animals and would again treat our Lucy the way she deserved to be. The following day we received a message for Orlaith confirming that the cremation had just finished and we were able to arrange to collect her ashes the very next day. Along with her ashes, we received a lovely framed plaster paw print, a vial containing a tuft of her fur, a few extra vials of ashes for spreading, and a certificate guaranteeing that it was an individual cremation. The entire process, as hard as it was for us, was made so much easier thanks to everyone at Resting Pets. We are so thankful we went with them and would highly recommend them to everyone.

I often drove past Resting Pets looking at the sign on the road saying to myself thats actually a good idea ,not me thinking i would ever need to use their services,but sadly I did when my dog Sumo passed away very unexpectedly,from the moment i rang Eamon i was very clearly upset but he spoke to me with compassion and understanding,i told him i had Sumo at home and i would bring him out the next day he was very understanding and told me everything i needed to do. The following day i went out to Resting Pets and i was met by Orlaith, i was very upset as were my parents who were with me ,but Orlaith was amazing she’s a beautiful kind compassionate person and made a very emotional time easier for me to handle ,after i had left Orlaith text me that evening to say the cremation process had finished and Sumo was treated with respect and dignity,my heart was broken but it was good to know that Sumo was with Orlaith in that final moment, thank you to Orlaith and Resting Pets for being so kind and respectful to Sumo.

I can’t thank Eamonn & Orlaith enough for their compassion and care throughout the process from the first phone call to the final knock on my front door to bring my 11year old cat Smooch home ❤️ The service they provide is truly outstanding I would highly recommend.

What an incredible place. We made the difficult journey from Donegal with our beloved dog Elvis. From the initial phonecall to Eamonn I knew this was the right place to go. Then we met Orlaith when we arrived and she was like an angel. Both done everything they possibly could to help. Everything was explained appropriately with as much detail as possible. Beautiful atmosphere, with the most amazing, caring and wonderful staff. We arrived devastated and left happy! We would highly recommend Resting Pets.

I had to say good bye to my 13 yr old german Shepard Hooch. Orlaith from resting pets could not have been anymore helpful. Excellent communication from start to finish and i was assured my friend would be treated with dignity and respect on his final journey. Thank you resting pets. And rest well my old friend.

I lost my beautiful Blue suddenly, and unexpectedly to an awful accident. To say I was distraught ringing Resting Pets would be an understatement. The moment Eamon answered the phone I was met with kindness and compassion. He and Orlaith were with me within the hour. They listened to everything I said, every word. They went above and beyond to make sure I had all the physical memories I needed from my beautiful boy, gave me as much time as I needed, and were so caring and respectful of Blue too. Orlaith’s messages meant so much, and within 24 hours Blue was back home. Eamon and Orlaith made the most traumatic day of my life just a little bit easier, and for that I will be forever grateful. Thank you so much.

After suddenly being let down by another crematorium, i rang orlaith and she took our milly straight away and we got her ashes back the next day. Incredible service. They really show kindness, sympathy and care and you know your pet is so well looked after. We got milly back in a lovely box. We got some extra viles of her ashes to give to family members and also got her paw print in a mould in this little box and also got some of her hair. Highly recommend

Our lovely Lady sadly passed away peacefully in our arms at 13 and a half years old. A true battler & lover of life & she will be missed immensely. Thank you to Eamonn & Orlaith for their help at a very hard time. A very professional service from beginning to end. Our sadness began over the weekend – Eamonn responded to calls no problem. Great compassion and professionalism shown when Lady’s ashes were handed over and they were laid out on a beautiful cushion. Lovely keepsakes of the paw print & fur clippings that we will treasure forever. It was so reassuring to know she was looked after in Resting Pets. I would highly recommend this service.
