About Truly Treasured
Truly Treasured is a family owned complete pet loss service operating throughout the North Island
Truly Treasured was created by Glen Hicks and co-owned by Victoria Cater — devoted animal lovers for a lifetime.
The idea came about after discussing euthanasia leaching and hearing several concerns from farmers and vets. Issues were identified not only for the environment, but also for the dignity of the animals themselves. Not long after beginning our journey to bring this vision to life, we experienced the loss of our beloved mare and Kune Kune.
We had to navigate our grief while also managing the practical realities of loss, which made that time even more difficult. That experience became the final push to “press go” and turn our idea into reality.

Truly Treasured became more than just a better way to put beloved pets to rest. We wanted to find a way to honour them and provide owners with mementos crafted by New Zealand artists, jewellers and creatives so that they can keep their companions with them, long after they’ve passed.
Saying goodbye to your beloved family pet can be one of life’s most difficult moments. Our caring staff take care of everything, ensuring you are only left with memories that can be truly treasured – but also so you don’t have to stress about how to handle the situation on your own.
We are passionate about caring for people and their special friends at the most heartbreaking of times and giving all animals the care, love and dignity they so dearly deserve.
