Did you know there is also a purple poppy?

While the red poppy has become such a familiar symbol of remembrance, the purple poppy is used to remember the animals who served and lost their lives through war and conflict. Horses, mules, donkeys, dogs, pigeons and many other animals played important roles alongside servicemen and women, often in extraordinarily difficult circumstances.

This Armistice Day, as we pause to remember the courage, service and sacrifice of those who gave so much, we also want to take a moment to remember the animals who served beside them.

At Resting Pets, animals are at the heart of everything we do, so today we honour both the people and the animals whose lives were touched by war.

At the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day, of the eleventh month…

We will remember them. ❤️💜

A beautiful way to keep both their memory and their photographs close. 🤍

Pet bereavement deserves space, understanding and honest conversation. 💙

Our Pet Bereavement Day gave local veterinary practices and pet professionals the chance to learn more about Resting Pets, talk openly about grief and explore how families can be better supported before, during and after the loss of a much-loved companion.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, asked questions and shared their experiences. If you’d like to learn more about what we do or future events, please get in touch.

Supporting someone after the loss of a pet can feel difficult, especially when you’re worried about saying the wrong thing.

Often, it isn’t about finding the perfect words. It’s remembering their pet’s name, listening without rushing them, checking in again later and simply making space for however they feel.

Small acts of kindness can carry a lot of meaning when someone is grieving. 🤍
Save this post for when someone you care about needs a little extra support.

Words like Debra’s mean so much to our whole team. 🤍

Being trusted to care for a much-loved companion at such a difficult time is something we never take lightly. Every pet comes with their own story, personality and place within a family, and that relationship deserves to be recognised with kindness and respect.

Thank you, Debra, for placing your trust in Resting Pets and for sharing such thoughtful words.

Some of the things we treasure most about our pets are almost impossible to capture in a still photograph — the sound they make when they want your attention, the way they trot towards you, the position they always sleep in, or that one expression you know instantly.

You don’t need beautifully posed photos or perfect videos. A few seconds on your phone can preserve the little details that feel so completely them.

What’s one tiny thing about your pet you’d never want to forget? 💙
