What a fitting day to celebrate our community hero; Chris Dancey, a former para trooper, was recognised at the Animal Star Awards for his service to his local pet community.
Chris Dancey served his country for 10 years and proudly shows off his badge of honour in his dazzling jacket on a night of celebration within the pet community representing the North of England. Chris was awarded Highly Commended as a New Pet Business.
Chris started Pets 2 Places pet taxi in September 2023 and has gained incredible success in that time and grown his social media following to almost 3000.
Chris is on hand to take pets, big and small, to the vets, some in emergency life-saving situations, if Chris hadn’t been there the pet would have died.
One cat who was taken seriously ill suddenly was one of those saved by Chris, the owner left a glowing review:
“I’d like to thank Chris once again for picking up my poorly boy at the last minute and arranging everything. From pick-up to drop-off, to caring for my very ill boy. If it wasn’t for Chris taking my boy for me when he did then he would have sadly no longer have been here and he would have passed away at home. But thanks to Chris my boy is now in the safe hands of the vets and hopefully on the way to make a full recovery.
“He really does care and shows so much passion in everything he does.
“From great customer service to looking after your fur baby. He keeps in contact with you every step of the way, whether that’s arriving at the vet to being in the vet room for you or on the return journey home. So once again thankyou to this most amazing man.”
Chris takes all this praise in his stride though, saying “I just do what I do, I get the job done, help the people and their pets and it’s all good, I love it, being able to help the pets and the owners when they don’t have anyone else to help them. It’s no bother at all.”
