Like many others, this review is long overdue. Firstly, thank you Deanna and Brian for your…read morekindness. My 14-year old Maltipoo passed in September. When my family and I brought her in, we were given ample time to say goodbye; never at any point did we feel rushed or taken advantage of. A week after, we picked her up. The package was beautiful, and we felt comforted knowing that she was well taken care of. Two weeks after our baby passed away, a dear friend of mine unfortunately experienced the same loss. I suggested Paws & Claws, and he took his 10-year old pup to Deanna and Brian. He let me know he was extremely happy with his experience. Thank you again, Deanna and Brian, for bringing comfort to those in need in our community.

They spoke to me like a human and held so much space for me, it didn't feel like they wanted to upsell or just take my money. Bryan put so much care into my urn package for my sweet Boba, and really made this process as easy as it can be. Deanna was so so sweet over the phone and shared a story of her pet with me as well. I hope I don't have to feel this pain for a while, but when the time comes with another pet I would not hesitate to come back to paws and claws aquamation. Thank you Bryan for going above and beyond with my girl Boba.

This was my first experience losing a pet, something you never truly expect, even though it's a…read morepart of life. I honestly didn't know what the process would be or what to do. I just knew I wanted to keep something to remember my beloved Shadow by. After doing some research, this organization was the first one I came across, and I'm so grateful I chose them. Their customer service was compassionate, professional, and incredibly caring during one of the hardest moments for my family. The day Shadow passed away, they were able to pick him up the very same day. I was surprised because I expected the process to take much longer. They treated him with such dignity and respect during pickup, and they showed that same level of care when they returned his ashes to me. I can't thank them enough for making such a difficult time a little easier. I would absolutely recommend them 100%. Thank you for treating my beloved Shadow with the love and care he deserved.

I used Mobile Pet Cremations for my 80 pound dog. I think their pricing was comparable to other…read moreplaces I've used in the past. Obviously after my pet passed in my home, I wanted to have her taken care of rather quickly as opposed to having a deceased loved one/animal in the house around the small children. MPC responded almost immediately via text. They were straightforward and clear about the process. Someone came to my house within a couple of hours someone was at my house who put my dog in a white body bag and took her away. He handled her with care. 1 week later the urn was hand-delivered to my house as described. I would use them again.

My dog ate a piece of a sock and after having x rays done at our vet we were recommended to go to emergency for a possible abdominal ultrasound and endoscope. From the very first call everyone who helped me was kind and helpful. They got me in immediately, were extremely calm, and immediately had an action plan. Thanks to their quick thinking we were able to induce vomiting instead of doing a more invasive procedure. The team kept me up to date about pricing and next steps while thoroughly explaining all of my options and possible outcomes. You can tell that everyone who works there loves what they do and I am so incredibly grateful for them. From the moment you walk in your fur baby will be loved on and taken care of I cannot recommend them enough. I will be forever grateful for the care they gave my baby!

The vet who came to our home was compassionate and patient, giving us all the time we needed to say our goodbyes. She walked us through each step with care and understanding, which made an unbearable moment just a little more manageable. Having our other lab there also meant a lot--it truly seemed to help her process the loss too. This was one of the hardest experiences we've ever gone through, but we're thankful for the kindness and support we received during such a difficult time.

Dr. Leah was professional, compassionate, gentle and kind. As a vet, she briefly discussed Roxy's condition with us and this helped me with all of the conflict that I felt regarding ending her health struggles and pain. Dr. Leah was sweet with her and made all of us feel comfortable. She suggested giving her treats as the procedure began and Roxy was so happy eating cheese that she did not feel the needle as I held her. Afterwards Dr. Leah gave us her time and did not rush us, which I appreciated. I had hoped to give our sweet girl the luxury of peace and love at the end, but I really did not expect her to go happily as she ate special treats. I am so truly grateful for that. Thank you so much.

When it was close to our pet passing away, we found Only Cremations For Pets and spoke to Kayla…read more She answered all our questions about the process and services they would provide to our beloved dog, Ronni. She explained how we could watch as little or as much of the cremation process as we wished. She also explained the "Private Viewing" and what the entire package would cost and entail. The morning Ronni departed our life, we brought her to Only Cremations and they kept her for us until the viewing, which was a couple days later. The day of the viewing, we were already an emotional mess, but Brittany was there right away to show us the presentation of Ronni in the viewing room. She was beautiful and had a blanket laid over the lower half of her body. Ronni looked like she was peacefully sleeping. There was ambient lighting and somber, relaxing music playing, a vase of flowers nearby, a sofa, and of course a box of tissues for our use. We were given up to two hours to spend with Ronni in the private viewing room for us to say our last goodbyes. We felt grateful to see her beautiful face one last time. During this time, Aldair came in and took her clay paw prints and we also had some ink paw prints done. He did a great job capturing the definition of her paw prints. Both Brittany and Aldair made this time more supportable with their patience and compassion and the gentleness they had with our baby girl. When it was time for the cremation, we had to leave the viewing room and go to another room, as our 86 pound Ronni needed a larger cremator chamber. We were able to sit in this room and watch through a window as Aldair placed her into the compartment. We had previously viewed the entire cremation process with another pet of ours and wished to ensure we received only their cremains, with little chance of a mixture or unknown other pet being switched out. Sounds a little paranoid, but we've heard stories, and this way gave us peace of mind knowing we were definitely receiving Ronnie's cremains. After the cremation process, approximately 90 minutes later, Aldair carefully and thoughtfully prepared the cremains for us to be able to take our Ronni home with us in a nice wooden urn provided as part of the package. Brittany presented us with a fabric bag with the urn inside, along with the clay and ink paw prints, a certificate note of sorts, and a packet of flower seeds. We are so thankful for this experience your establishment provided. Some of the "mom and pop" stand alone facilities have been bought out by big chain corporations, and they do not provide this same service as you have given to us. It's almost as if they have something to hide or don't want you to see. You've provided us with the best farewell we could give Ronni and are so appreciative Dr. George Katcherian founded and created this location for us to give a compassionate goodbye to our loving pets.

Not many crematoriums are open on Sundays. I called a number in Van Nuys that I found on Yelp, but the man referred me to Furrever Friends. I'm so glad he did. Heather at Furrever Friends was so kind on the phone and in person. She made the entire process very smooth and easy. She discussed everything with me - their strict cremation process, what to expect with the final package, etc. Honestly, I didn't ask; she just told me. I wasn't functioning very well that day. I picked up Franklin today after only a 4-day wait. At the shop, Heather surprised me with Frank's paw and nose prints on wood and paper! What a thoughtful idea! (I'm sure she told me about it on Sunday, but I really wasn't present.) I almost broke down in front of her when I saw his nose. We used to "boop" that thing! Frank himself is resting in a beautiful wooden box. He's coming home now. Heather, thank you so much for the amazing love and care you showed us! I won't forget you.

She put…read moreher dog down at a vet's clinic and FF offered a service to come pick up her dog directly from the clinic and handled everything that she wanted/needed perfectly. Last week on the 23rd right before christmas, my dog of 14 years passed away at home. I remembered my bsf used FF and I reached out to get their info. I contacted them immediately and was assisted by Heather. She was very kind and helpful over the phone, gave me all the info about the various packages they offer. They offer 3 different cremations packages (private, witness, and communal). I chose to go with private bc witness was more than double the price of private. However, don't be nervous about going with private bc they have numerous ways to ensure that you will be obtaining your pet's remains back even if you aren't able to witness the full process. The private package included a simple urn (a box), paw/nose impression, and fur clipping. In their viewing room, they have numerous urns to choose from and upgrade from the package. Although it was so close to the holidays, I was able to pick up my baby girl the day after christmas. They were kind enough to gift us with a bamboo impression of her nose and paw as an ornament as well. The whole service and communication was truly great. I had no doubt in trusting Heather and her family with taking care of my pet. You can feel how much they care about animals and their passion in helping families get closure and having a beautiful send off for their pets. I will definitely recommend Furrever Friends to all pet owners when it's time to say goodbyes to our fur babies.

I also chose a package that included his fur clipping, a paw print, and a beautiful box for his ashes with his photo placed on the front.
