Testimonials

I cannot thank Nicky enough for making such an awful time that bit easier - Such a truly compassionate service. Aside from dealing with our emotions superbly Nicky was also brilliant with our rather complicated logistics - not once complaining about accessibility issues or parking etc. Lennon was returned to us incredibly promptly too which is so important. Thank you Nicky ❤️

Lou W

We recently said goodbye to our beloved bulldog Watson. Nicky was extremely respectful, kind and compassionate during the whole process from collecting him from our home, to us being able to bring him back home the next day. We shall be forever grateful. I'd highly recommend peaceful paws and thank you Nicky for making such an upsetting time just that little bit easier. ❤️

Rebecca W

Highly recommended, you'll have done your homework as we did and seen horror stories. We found Nicola @ perfect paws and what a fantastic experience at a time our family was grieving, Our cavalier "stanlee" was in caring hands and we felt very comfortable we'd found the right place, awesome experience from Nicky and wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thanks Nicky five BIG stars.

I cannot thank Nicky enough from that first initial phone call to picking up my boy Rox the same day and then a message to say he’s ready to come back home the following day has made us feel so happy that the process was so straight forward I would recommend Nicky at peaceful paws to anyone whose sadly lost a loving pet 🐾🐾🐾

Nikita


We had to say goodbye to are boy Rox yesterday and we got this ashes back today was very quiet

James

Thankyou so much Nicky for being so caring, understanding and sympathetic and compassionate when I suddenly lost my beloved French lop marmalade in the early hours of that morning. I rang you in bits and you were very understanding and told me to take a breath and take my time. You even offered to come and collect him from my house, but I brought him to you. You were very respectful and caring and I felt you would look after him and give him a dignified send off. I collected his ashes the following day from you. Thankyou for a very personal service from a lady who understands how devastating it is to lose a beloved pet - no matter what he is..

Allyson

very easy to find and such a wonderful little service. thank you for being able to take care of my best friend Quinn. he's been my best friend for 5 years and it won't ever be the same without him. I look forward to having him around forever 💖

Rebecca Q

We recently lost our wonderful Cairn Terrier, Ollie. Nicky,s kindness, patience and compassion were to the for both on the phone and in person. The peaceful setting Nicky’s resting place provides meant We were totally confident that we had made the right choice for Ollies final journey and left him in the care of someone who so obviously loves animals. Thankyou Nicky for the service you provided at a very difficult time.

Ian P

I can not praise nicky enough, she was amazing with the sudden death of our beloved springer dexter. She helped us through the process and made sure we knew when he was safe with her and her attention to detail was above and beyond. Would recommend her 100%

Faith M

100% recommend. Such a heartbreaking time for me and my family and Nicky was amazing, compassionate and understanding. My beautiful Westie, was returned to us the same day, with a paw print and forget me not seeds. I cannot thank Nicky enough. Peaceful Paws offer more than a 5 star 🌟 service.

Claire B

Nicky offered an amazing service during what was a very difficult time. She arranged the same day collection of our beloved cat, and we we're able to collect her from Nickys' beautiful premises the following day. Nickys compassion and understanding we're greatly appreciated. Thank you, Nicky, for the lovely paw prints and forget-me-not seeds and your empathy. I'm so glad we chose peaceful paws and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this wonderful company to anyone who's in the difficult position of saying goodbye to a much loved pet.


Charlotte D

I’m so grateful for the care and compassion shown when my lovely cat Raża passed away. After 16 years together, it was such a hard goodbye, but Nicky was so kind and made the whole process feel much gentler. Everything was handled with such respect. I really appreciated the support and would wholeheartedly recommend Peaceful Paws of Melksham to anyone going through the same. Thank you❤️

Oliwia D

We recently said goodbye to our beloved dog after 10 years. Nicky collected her from the vets for us and we had her back home the next day; Nicky was so compassionate and caring throughout this difficult time and put such care into arranging the room for us to come and collect her.
It gave us such peace of mind to know Gypsy was well looked after and we would highly recommend Peaceful Paws to anyone having to go through this heart-breaking time.

Laura D

A wonderful, stress free service that Nicky provided us after our oldest and sweetest cat Smudge had to be put to sleep. It really did break our hearts but Nicky was so understanding and compassionate with how she dealt with me, how swiftly she dealt with the collection and cremation too. She guided us through what we wanted beforehand and the beautiful job she did with his paw print brought tears to our eyes. It's was a horrible few days after we lost him but having him home where he belongs in such a swift manner has brought us peace and comfort and I will be forever grateful.
A really superb addition to the area and I can't recommend Nicky and Peaceful Paws enough.

Peter C

I attended the open day and it was lovely. Whilst I hope I don’t need to use her services any time soon, I’ll definitely be contacting her when I do… I know it’s hard for people who don’t have pets to understand but the guarantee that you are receiving your pet back is really reassuring!

Fi H

Thank you so much Nicky for all that you did to make saying goodbye to my beloved Jack such a gentle and meaningful experience. It was such a sad and difficult time, but the warmth of your space and the care you showed meant the world to me.
Wishing you all the best in your new venture — I couldn’t recommend you more highly to anyone facing this heartbreaking moment.
Rest in peace, my little boy Jack. ❤️ 🐾

Anna C

I can't thank Nicky enough for the care and compassion she showed when we lost our wonderful cat, Lilly, last week. She did everything with the utmost respect and gave us the time we needed to say goodbye before we collected her ashes the following day. She was wonderful with my 5yo daughter and listened to her stories about lilly, and she showed my husband how things work when he asked to look. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Nicky. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you.
