Tributes continued to pour in online, with pet owners sharing personal stories of how Dr. Carmichael had changed their lives.

One mourner wrote on Instagram shortly after his passing: “Farewell to an amazing vet, Dr. Andrew Carmichael.

He was old school and one of the kindest, fairest vets I’ve ever met.

He was the only one who gave me space in his practice to work with my most challenging cats, and that was a lifesaver. I’ll forever be grateful.

A lovely man who will be sorely missed. RIP, Andrew.”

A Lasting Tribute for a Life Well Lived

The fundraiser to honor Dr. Carmichael’s memory aims to celebrate his passion for dogs and the joy he found in walking his beloved Whistle at Little Wormwood Scrubs in Kensal Green.

The memorial bench will provide a peaceful space for those who knew him to reflect on the legacy of love and care that Dr. Carmichael shared with both animals and people.

As the tribute continues to grow, it’s clear that Dr. Carmichael’s legacy will live on in the hearts of the countless lives he touched.
