Pets at Peace was ‘born’ when Craig Mitchell, now a retired Senior Ambulance Paramedic with the NSW Ambulance Service, lost his beloved pet Suzie.

Upon making numerous phone calls to various pet cremation firms, he noted that some used a large veterinary teaching hospital to cremate their clients’ pets. Upon more investigation it was found that these pets were not individually cremated at all but placed together in a large furnace. Naturally Craig did not want a mixture of ashes but only of his pet Suzie.

This is when he commissioned Australia’s first dedicated pet crematorium for the individual cremation of pets.
